Kay Eileen Photography

Pleasant Hill, IA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200

Your biggest hype girl, professional third wheel, and love-story catcher. I’m all about building real connections with my couples so your photos feel true to you. With a dark and moody style, I focus on the raw, romantic, in-between moments — the deep breaths, stolen glances, and big belly laughs. This isn’t just about pretty pictures; it’s about telling your story honestly, emotionally, and artfully. If you're after a photographer who feels more like a friend, I'm your girl. Let’s make magic together.

When we were planning our wedding, searching for a photographer took us a long time because we didn’t just want to pick anyone. My husband finally came across Kayla and we instantly fell in love with her style. Me and Kayla had a FaceTime call to chat and get to know each other and I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer aside from how good her photos were! She is so professional, friendly, funny and super personable. She not only is our photographer for life but I can also say she has become one of my very good friends! I highly highly recommend her! Her photos are beautiful and she makes you feel so special on your big day! She goes above and beyond on your day to help you with your dress and just make sure everything runs smooth! You won’t regret it! Book a session!!!

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.

Haverlee Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Pleasant Hill, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Mom’s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you don’t want to forget, and that’s exactly what she captures- every single time. I’m thankful for the ways she doesn’t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldn’t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I won’t ever go with another photographer!

The tablecloths and hightop tables I chose were brand new and easy to assemble. The website is clear and intuitive to use and they offered additional tablecloth sizes which Cory talked me through on the phone so I could be sure I had the right length to drape over my hightops and tie with ribbon. Prices are competitive with other local vendors, but Des Moines Party Rentals offers the best deal for weekend rentals by only charging one day for Friday pick-up with a Monday return. I'm so glad I found Des Moines Event Rentals to help make our special day a success!

Verry professional, versatile staff that can accommodate the needs of a forever love experience that will make a lasting memory. I was impressed with the organization and thought put into each wedding plan. The sound system is so inspirational allowing the perfect choices of correct music. I read one review that was very unfairly negative. This made me see the need to write a correct review to show some are wrong and unfair. I know that some invited cannot follow close planned direction and will create failure with people who get involved having no concept of keeping with original design and artistic genius. I can see where not everyone was pleased with their results. Reading this made me remember how lucky I was to have such support and create something my family will never forget. After having such a great experience with Vows and working with these great people that assisted me putting everything I had dreamed of wonderfully together, I thought it would only be appropriate to write my review to correct the poor review from someone that could ruin someone else from making a decision to have a fantastic Vows experience like we had, and stopping others looking for something very special. Please don't let others who don't follow set and planned wedding procedures by choosing last minute changes during the wedding then blaming Vows. My family, friends, and everyone in my wedding enjoyed the space in the high-end part of downtown Des Moines. The beautiful and romantic setting is perfect for starting a couples major life event. I loved the deep thoughts that was put into the planning and making every desire request work. Des Moines is very lucky to have a wedding venue like this. We were very pleased with our wedding. I can't tell you how much happiness this has brought to my life. The only problem found was reading one review where someone did not follow directions and caused problems for themselves and blamed Vows. I highly recommend this venue. Thank you!

We create immersive wedding experiences with personalized soundtracks and interactive elements like games, helping to entertain guests and create lasting memories. You can explore our wedding packages and add-ons on our website or Zola to start planning your dream day.

While the music was definitely on point (more on that later!), it was the extra touches they offered that truly elevated our reception and kept our guests engaged and laughing all night long. Mic Man (who was also our DJ) did a great job of making announcements and keeping the energy up without being intrusive. He even organized a fun "newlywed game" that had everyone laughing and cheering. It was a lighthearted and enjoyable way to involve our guests and add another layer of entertainment to the evening. While the music kept the dance floor going strong later in the night, it was the thoughtful inclusion of games and interactive elements that truly made our reception stand out. Mic Man Entertainment offered so much more than just a DJ; they provided a full entertainment experience that kept guests of all ages happy and engaged. If you're looking for wedding entertainment in the Ankeny area that goes beyond just music and creates a truly fun and interactive atmosphere for your guests, we highly recommend Mic Man Entertainment. They helped us create a wedding reception that was not only romantic but also incredibly fun and memorable for everyone who attended.

After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!

I’m Laura Nichole! Welcome to my little nook of the web. From local Iowa venues to crossing state lines and flying over country boarders, I have had the blessing of capturing timeless moments of the most amazing humans you could ever meet! Can I be your biggest fan?? I want to capture your favorite memories, the highs, the lows, and everything in between, so that when you look at your images you can remember exactly how you felt in those moments. I want you to see just how captivating and special you truly are.

Laura did our engagement and wedding photos, and they always turned out stunning! I had to do a lot of photographer recon before choosing, as Joe and I are both pretty pale. I noticed some photographers wash out color. I chose Laura because her style didn't do that to us, and the depth of her colors really stood out to me! Joe and I have never been publicly affectionate, and Laura respected that and gave us great prompts to make us feel comfortable. Our photos turned out amazing, and I can't wait to frame some to have around the house!
