I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
“Michaela and I got married on September 6, 2026 at The Madison in Cleveland, and booking Sean was one of the best decisions we made. Before the big day, Sean checked in with several times, making sure our vision would come to life. His attention to detail during these touch points was so appreciated. He did a great job of condensing the things that both my wife and I wanted.  On the day itself, Sean was calm, professional, and genuinely easy to be around. He had a way of making us feel comfortable, so nothing felt stiff or overly posed. He kept things moving without ever making us feel rushed, and he seemed to be everywhere at once. Our guests loved him too! He went out of his way to make sure we got every family photo we wanted, which took a LOT of stress off of us. Family photos can get chaotic, and he handled it like a pro. When we got the gallery, we were blown away. The first look, the toasts, the sunset photos, the dance floor, he nailed every single one. The editing is perfect, but what really got us is that the photos tell the story of our day from start to finish. He caught moments we didn't even know happened, and we've already gone through the whole gallery more times than we can count. If you're looking for a photographer, book Sean. You won't regret it. Thank you, Sean, for giving us memories we'll have forever!”

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
“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.”

They also got so many candid smiles that I didn’t know I was even making. My best friend said she’s never seen me so happy and the photos prove it. The video is stunning too, especially the vows part with close-ups. My dad is tough but he said it made him cry, which shocked me. I loved how they stayed late to get our sparkler sendoff. The colors, the lighting, the emotions, it’s all perfect. Even little things like my shoes and bouquet were captured beautifully. I feel like I can live the day over and over. It’s more than I ever hoped for.”

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.

“From the moment we met Isaac, we knew we were in the best hands. He has an incredibly calming presence and a natural way of making you feel comfortable, which meant we were able to be fully present on our wedding day. Our Sonoma farm wedding unfolded with a gorgeous outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner reception, followed by music and festivities in the barn. Isaac captured every moment with such artistry and intention. The images feel effortless yet elevated as every frame tells a story, from quiet, emotional moments to the joy and movement of our guests celebrating into the night. The photographs from our first dance in the barn truly took our breath away. The way Isaac used the natural light, textures of the wood, and atmosphere of the space made the images feel cinematic and timeless. Working with Isaac was seamless, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely joyful. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day exactly as it felt. The images are beautiful, emotional, and full of life. We are endlessly grateful for his vision and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone dreaming of a wedding that feels both authentic and artfully captured.”

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We knew we wanted someone who could capture our dreamy, storybook aesthetic, and Caz Isaiah exceeded every expectation. From our first conversation, his communication was refreshingly straightforward and personable, which made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On the wedding day, he brought genuine warmth—literally showing up with a snack for me in the morning—and his creative eye shone through in every shot. Caz doesn't rely on heavy posing; instead, he works from simple prompts to create naturally flattering images that feel authentic to who we are. What really got us was when he sent over prints from his film cameras without us even asking—a detail that perfectly captured the moody, romantic pictures we'd been dreaming about. His work is fantastic, and he genuinely went above and beyond to make our day feel like the vision we'd imagined. Very highy recommend Caz!”

We spend endless times meeting with someone who felt like the right fit and upon finding Ariel she was so wonderful, punctual and bubbly to work with! We had her also take our engagement photos as her packages fit tailored to what our needs and wants were. When she had done her photos for the wedding from beginning to end was amazing attention to detail. She made it feel stress free and worked so hard to capture the magic of our day. When we received our photos it was breathtaking and we feel so happy to have these pictures for a lifetime. We look forward to using her in the future & if your looking for a photographer look no further!!! She captures pure magic. Thank you Ariel!!!!!”

“Celestial Waves photography was by far the best choice we could have made. For one, the pictures are absolutely stunning. We got them back quickly, the system is easy to use, and the pictures are a perfect mix of posed and candid. I have gotten SO many compliments on the pictures, but also about Seth and the company itself. They did so much to help make our day special, from helping the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres to keeping everyone looking great and having fun. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding day such a special day, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a phenomenal photographer.”
