  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Sheldahl, IA

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

Jason is simply the best! We stumbled upon him after reviewing photographers in our area and it was the biggest blessing. He was super quick to respond after we inquired about availability and before we knew it he was taking our engagement photos! We made Jason aware of when we hoped to send out save the dates for our wedding and he got our photos back to us within a week of them being taken with a preview the very next day! Jason is super open to making your photos memorable so when we wanted a few photos with our pup and us celebrating with champagne, he was all in! Fast forward to the months leading up to our big day, Jason was always there with emails to make sure he was prepared and had all the details we were looking for in our photos. We have a big family so our shot list was a little long but come wedding day, Jason was firing through those photos to make sure we stayed on schedule. We were actually ahead of schedule all day long which I know is a result of his efficiency. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we owe a lot of thanks to Jason for that. He was so personable with everyone he met and made taking photos fun! Our friends and family are still raving about Jason and we got married a little over a month ago! And can we talk about the quality of his work? They left my husband and I speechless. Jason, thank you for being you! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a kinder soul. We can’t wait to recommend you to all our friends and family and to have you capture our lives in the years to come! Love, the Barnes

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
When we first got engaged, Haverlee Photography was a no brainer, and she lived up to everything and more. Every picture from our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day is stunning and I have the hardest time picking my favorites. Hands down, best decision on wedding vendors was picking Haverlee. On top of delivering beautiful photos we will cherish forever, Haverlee made everything so fun and easy. My husband said our engagement session was like a date night, and Haverlee had me feel so at ease and beautiful through every step of our wedding day. She is the kindest human who gets the perfect shots of all the small moments, which truly matter to us and feel like us. Haverlee will always be our go to photographer for all the special moments for our family, and you can't go wrong with choosing her to be a part of your special day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marissa did an absolutely phenomenal job styling my hair for my wedding day! She work on seven of us—myself, my mom, four bridesmaids, and a personal attendant—and every single style turned out beautifully. She was incredibly efficient without sacrificing quality, and she handled a wide range of hair types and textures (short, long, curly, straight, thick, and thin) with ease. I decided to change my hairstyle just days before the wedding and sent her reference photos—she executed the new look flawlessly. My hair held up all night through photos, dancing, and everything in between. I couldn’t have asked for a better stylist to be part of my day. Highly recommend Marissa to any bride looking for someone talented, flexible, and calm under pressure!

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.

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 rented the brown and white dance floor from DSM Dance Party DJs and the dance floor was absolutely beautiful and tied in all of my decor! I initially rented the 12x12 but then needed to make it larger at the very last minute because it looked so small with how our tables were set up, the DSM Dance Party team came back on the day of my wedding to increase it to 15 x 15 which made SUCH a big difference!!! Although, it was extremely inconvenient to come back to my venue and add paneling, they did it, and I could not be more appreciative because it looked absolutely perfect and was full all night long.

✨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.

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!

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Colby photographed a wedding I was in in 2017 and I knew he’d photograph my wedding. This was before I’d even met my now-husband. That’s how good he is. Colby is phenomenal. We originally planned on a full wedding, but pivoted to an elopement and Colby was on board for the new plan. My now husband and I are not the photogenic type - you can’t tell due to Colby’s immense skill. He made us feel comfortable and relaxed and clearly knows his stuff. He got so many beautiful photos of our backyard elopement and downtown lunch afterward. We could not be more pleased with his work.

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!

Heeyy it's AK! Some of my most favorite days include my littles, my boo and our pup. We love being outdoors, exploring and playing games! I started photography 7 years ago mainly to document their lives but it has grown into so much more. This business of mine is my passion and I love being able to be there for my clients on their most special days.

Alexis is amazing! She did such a wonderful job with our engagement and wedding photos. She made us very comfortable and relaxed throughout the day. Super organized and professional. Can’t recommend her enough!
