Haverlee Photography

  • Serves Polk City, 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.

“Truly could not say enough great things about Haverlee and her immense talent! From our first inquiry email to delivering our final wedding gallery (early I should add), she was so kind, supportive and on the ball. Outside of capturing amazing moments during our engagement session and wedding day, one of the things we really appreciated was her willingness to help create our day of timeline. As a DIY bride, having someone who has done this countless times help us plan every minute of our day helped so so much and put our minds at ease. And let me tell you, day of, you won’t find someone else more prepared than Haverlee. She was there to help with make-up issues, fly away hairs, dress bustling, and even hand picking leaves and bugs out of the skirt of my dress to make sure our photos were perfect. Your wedding day is a once in a lifetime experience, highly recommend entrusting Haverlee to work her magic to allow you to remember the day perfectly thru her lens.”

✨WHY✨ I’m a professional photographer is because I believe that your life has PURPOSE. and a story to be captured & remembered. Life is short, and memories fade… but a photo can last for lifetimes. So, let’s hang out and eat pizza on rooftops or dance on a country road in the headlights! I want to help you make & capture memories of your unique & beautiful life, and slow down for a few minutes to enjoy the moments we're living in NOW! When I'm not working, I love a good book, chasing sunsets on beaches, skiing in the mountains, or watching Parks & Rec for the 8th time!

“Amelia was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, her communication was easy, detailed, and incredibly helpful. She took the time to get to know my husband and I on a personal level, which made the photography experience feel so special and intimate. Amelia had a wonderful way of putting all of our guests at ease in front of the camera, capturing beautiful, natural moments throughout the day. The final photos were truly stunning - personal, artistic, and full of the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and incredible value from Amelia. She played such an important role in making our wedding day so unforgettable.”

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 was one of the best choices that we made in our wedding planning journey. She was an absolute joy to work with during the wedding planning process, our engagement session, and our recent wedding. Her passion for what she does is so evident as she is so joyful whilst capturing these precious moments in our life. Leading up to the wedding she helped us put together a schedule for our day which was tremendously helpful. On the day of the wedding, she was with us always taking candid and posed photos, but went above and beyond to help our day run smoothly! One specific example of this was her willingness to be on the ground scrubbing my dress with a tide to go stick moments before the ceremony after outdoor photos added some stains to my dress. She made us and everyone in our bridal party feel so comfortable during the photo sessions. During the dancing portion of our reception she found a few minutes to quickly edit some sneak peeks for us to show before she left and they were so incredible. We are so looking forward to seeing the full gallery. We truly can’t recommend Laura enough!!”

Hi! my name is Betsy, I am a wedding photographer based in Des Moines, IA.

My business has grown, and I have had a continuous love for photographing weddings.

My name is Gabrielle but I go by Gabby. Middle name, Grayce, with a “y”. I grew up with a disposable camera constantly in hand and when I got my first digital camera, it was filled with photos of blades of grass and flowers. I married my best friend in 2019 on a cold April day in Iowa. It was 36 degrees and sleeting….and the ceremony was outdoors. It’s Iowa, what did we expect? We recently added a new tiny human to our family, Asher Grae. He’s the sweetest little buddy and we can’t imagine what life would be without him. I started photography as a hobby but have found so much passion in documenting the lives of the most amazing couples.

“Blake and I were so grateful we chose Peridot & Lace for our wedding photo and video team. Their staff is so on top of communication! They asked us all the photo/timeline questions we didn’t even know to ask, to best prepare months in advance for our wedding day. And were also quick to respond to any last minute requests/questions as the wedding day came closer. We worked with Kirsten for our engagement photos and on our wedding day- could not say enough kind words. She was detail oriented and had the best energy to keep us feeling relaxed and comfortable behind the camera. We were able to fully enjoy our wedding day with full confidence that the P&L team would get all the shots we wanted. We have hundreds of beautiful photos and great video coverage that perfectly captured us and the emotions of our wedding day. So glad we decided to include video in our package. Editing was super timely with getting sneak peaks the day after, as well as getting full photos and videos digitally not long after that. Would recommend P&L to any couples.”

She went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make us feel comforted. All of our family and guests were very impressed with her work.
