I have 12 years of photography experience, 9 years in the industry and have shot more than 200 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Hey there! I'm Jade, your photographer friend based in Moline, IL. If you were to ask me how I got into photography I could tell you about all of the moments I had with cameras and film growing up. My mom was always taking photos of me and her surroundings and she passed that habit on to me. I received my own digital camera as a gift for my birthday the summer before going to middle school, and since then, I've been passionate about capturing life's moments, both big and small.

My passion for photography and weddings began when I was very young. I staged Barbie weddings, making their dresses from Kleenex, then snuck Mom’s camera to take pictures of them. I moved on to dressing up my little sister in a pillowcase veil, again sneaking Mom’s camera. When she got tired of me using up all her film, she brought home several Bride magazines from the free pile at the library and I spent hours reading them, then pinning pages of beautiful wedding dresses on the ceiling of my bedroom. When “The Wedding Planner” came out in 2001, my fate was sealed

I live for capturing the magic moments of your wedding day-- from the first look to the first dance, and all the laughter and tears in between. When the guests are gone and the gifts are opened, these images will be one of the last things left to remember your wedding day. Who do you trust to capture these memories? These precious little moments of love are what fuel my purpose to document the special moments and bonds shared between others.

My favorite part about being a photographer is capturing all the memories! watching a family grow throughout sessions, seeing a groom cry happy tears, and watching your little one smash their birthday cake! That is what I am here to capture! Outside of photography, I have a full-time job as a transportation representative and I'm married to my wonderful husband, Austin.

“I had the best experience with OLAS! From engagement photos to the wedding, Graham was our photographer and he was excellent! He is super quick and officiant. We wanted to make sure we would have ample time with our guests at our wedding and not waste too much time on photos and Graham made that happen. He was so quick it almost didn't seem like I was even ready for the photo to be taken, but sure enough when my sneak peaks came back, they were all breath taking and amazing, I can't even choose one. He knows what he is doing, the right lighting, the right camera settings, and captures the most special moments that we will forever cherish and relive through for the rest of our lives. The entire entourage, including the videographer was also so amazing, friendly, funny, and engaging. Thank you OLAS for capturing the best day of our lives!”

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.

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.”

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

“Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get.

Hi, I’m Connie—congratulations on your engagement. Thank you for being here and for considering me as your photographer. I take a thoughtful, hands-on approach and believe the experience matters just as much as the final images. I’m involved well before the wedding day—collaborating on vision, timelines, and details to ensure everything feels intentional and effortless. I love curated Pinterest boards, open communication, and creating imagery that feels elevated, timeless, and personal. This is your day, and it should reflect you. Let’s talk!

We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!”

“Rachael was our photographer for our September 2023 wedding. There is no question that she was the absolute best person we could have had for such a special day. From beginning to end Rach helped us plan and execute our vision. We were not using a wedding planner, so she helped us get a lot of details and timelines on track. She also made sure we had fun and were able to relax through the whole process. On our wedding day Rach showed up ready to go and excited for a fun day. She captured so many beautiful moments between our first look, moments with family, ceremony, and reception. She also gifted us a moment alone to talk and take in the day just the two of us - it was so special and intimate. I will always cherish the memories and details she captured for us. Rachael also did our engagement shoot a few months before the wedding and those photos are so incredibly breathtaking. Some people have such a talent and artistry in what they do and Rachael is one of those people. If you are looking for someone who will become your friend, make you feel beautiful, and most importantly capture these special moments in a way that brings back every emotion of life and love when you look back at the photos, we 10000% recommend Rachael.”

She was so communicative when I was first looking for a wedding photographer, and as the wedding got closer, she was always quick to answer my questions and put my mind at ease.

She brought the best energy all day and was the sweetest hype woman and cheerleader, which I absolutely loved. She made us feel so confident and made taking pictures feel easy. When she sent us our sneak peeks, we were honestly blown away. My stepmom and I might be a little biased, but we both agreed they’re some of the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. We are absolutely obsessed with them!! Brayley is so talented at what she does, and I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and we’re so grateful she was part of our wedding day.”

“There was something ethereal about this wedding. The bride’s dress shimmered under the soft light, and the groom’s nervous energy was completely endearing. I teared up when they spoke their vows, not just because of the words but because of the emotion that filled the room. Every laugh, every glance, every tear seemed significant, like it mattered in the grand tapestry of life. The flowers, music, and soft whispers all blended into a perfect symphony of love. Even small moments, like the ring bearer stumbling and everyone laughing, felt magical. By the first dance, I was completely entranced by their connection. That night, I left believing that love truly can feel like magic.”
