I’m Ashlee - owner of ap FILM & PHOTO and I’m so glad you found me! Based out of Cedar Rapids (born, raised and stayed) but I’m down to go anywhere our hearts desire. My photography style is joyous, candid and it looks moody and bright all at the same time. If that’s what you’re after - let’s get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
ap FILM & PHOTO was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our very first interaction, they were accommodating, direct, and incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process. Their communication was top-notch, and they made sure to understand our specific vision and preferences. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly captured all the special moments with a keen eye for detail, resulting in truly beautiful and couple-specific photographs. What we appreciated most was their focus on body positivity - they made both my husband and I feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which is reflected in the stunning, natural-looking images with retouches where we might not have photographed perfectly but had genuine reactions. Ashlee isn’t the least expensive but the quality photos and detail provided was unmatched, and we are thrilled with the final product. We highly recommend ap FILM & PHOTO to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Welcome to Gracefully Rooted Homestead, LLC, where your most cherished milestones are preserved with artistry, intention, and a calm, easygoing spirit. We are a premier wedding and lifestyle photography studio dedicated to capturing authentic, timeless moments that tell the true story of your love. Our core philosophy is simple: we believe that the best photographs are born when you feel completely relaxed, confident, and fully present in the moment.

I’m writing this to recommend my fiancée, who I’ve had the privilege of working alongside as her second shooter in photography. Being behind the scenes with her has given me a real appreciation for the level of dedication, patience, and creativity she brings to every single shoot. She doesn’t just “show up and take pictures”—she prepares, plans, and pours herself into capturing moments that matter to people. I’ve seen firsthand how much thought she puts into every detail, from composition to timing to making sure she never misses something meaningful. As her second shooter, I’ve watched her work under pressure, adapt quickly, and still stay focused on delivering high-quality results. Even in chaotic or fast-paced situations, she stays calm, professional, and intentional. She has a strong work ethic that goes far beyond what most people see on the final gallery. What stands out most to me, though, is how much she genuinely cares. She cares about the clients, their memories, and making sure they feel seen and valued. She also cares deeply about the quality of her work and is constantly pushing herself to improve. Seeing her work up close has made it clear to me that she is not only talented but also deeply committed to her craft. I’m proud of the work she does and confident in recommending her to anyone looking for someone reliable, creative, and hardworking.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Preston, IA

We sincerely believe in having a good connection with you. When you book with us, you are more than clients, you quickly become part of our company, our friends. You may be wondering, who the heck we are. We are wildly in love and a little weird (aren’t we all?). We love a good adventure (backpacking, kayaking, city hoppin’, you name it), and while we know things don’t always go according to plan, we know we are guaranteed an entertaining story outta it (just ask Bill, he LOVES to share stories of our perfectly imperfect travels).

We had the best experience working with Erin from Thomas Co Photography. From our first conversation, she was clear and friendly about everything, making the whole process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, Erin did more than just take pictures—she helped us slow down and actually enjoy the quiet moments we might have missed otherwise. Her eye for detail really shines through in our photos, which capture such genuine emotion and feel so natural. It's obvious she truly cares about her clients and their stories. We're so grateful to have found her and can't recommend Erin highly enough!

I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

Love Knot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (27 reviews)
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Preston, IA

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.
