Awarded Best of Zola
Dan was our wedding photographer for our Florida destination wedding and we are over the moon from all the photos. He captured our personalities and all the good vibes from the weekend. Our sunset couple pictures are stunning! I highly recommended Dan for wedding photography. I have never known a photographer that made everyone so comfortable. Even the groomsmen who usually hate photos were having fun getting their pictures taken. We got the photos around 6 weeks after the wedding which was incredible. We got so many beautiful photos and I still love going through them. He captured the fun vibe throughout the whole day. We got a wedding album as well as some canvas prints with the photos and love seeing them around the house. You will not regret hiring Dan for any of your photography needs.

Valerie was amazing to work with, she is easygoing, kind, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. From the very beginning, she provided us with a clear and organized timeline, creative picture ideas, and constant support, always making herself available to answer any questions we had. She was very prompt in responding, which made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, Valerie and Kevin went above and beyond helping both inside and outside the venue, seamlessly moving between my husband and me to make sure we each had everything we needed. Their teamwork and attentiveness truly stood out, and they made the entire experience even more enjoyable. When we received our photos and video, I was completely blown away as they captured every emotion, detail, and special moment more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. I am still in awe every time I look at them, and I’ll forever be grateful for the memories they preserved so perfectly.

It’s hard to even explain how much these photos mean to me. It’s not just about how good they look, it’s about how they FEEL. Every single picture has emotion in it, and that’s something you can’t fake. I was smiling and crying looking through them the first time. The video is unreal, it feels like a movie but still completely us. They even captured the quiet little moments when nobody was really paying attention. That means the world to me. I look at them every day, no lie. They gave me the gift of memories I’ll never lose.

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
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We are so grateful that we got to work with Anderson for our big day in May! He was so lovely to work with, and he took the time to get to know more about us as a couple before we met up for our civil ceremony. He was very communicative, and he sent us our photos well before the deadline in our contract. I would say that my husband and I are not naturals in front of a camera, and Anderson was patient and guided us so professionally throughout our wedding. We felt comfortable and trusted his vision, and it really paid off! Our photos are timeless and truly capture the emotion of that day. We will cherish them 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
We truly cannot say enough good things about Haverlee. From the very beginning, she was so friendly and incredibly easy to work with, which made the entire day feel effortless. Of course, her photos are stunning, but what stood out most was how naturally she captured everything. Nothing ever felt too posed or forced. Every photo feels genuine and true to who we are. I mean this is the absolute best way possible, but there were so many moments where we honestly forgot she was even there, especially during our bride and groom portraits. She never felt in-your-face, but successfully captured every detail and emotion so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, blends seamlessly into your day, and delivers breathtaking, authentic photos, Haverlee is truly the best.
