I’m Jon—a wedding photographer based out of Bellevue, Nebraska. My love for photography started as a young dad, obsessed with capturing every moment with my newborn daughter. Being able to look back at those days with my family now is truly one of the greatest feelings.

I’m a Nebraska based wedding photographer that craves those timeless and intimate moments. With over two years of experience and shooting over 50 weddings, you can trust I’ll never miss a moment. When I’m not capturing life’s most cherished memories you can usually find me spending time with my husband and son, tending to one of my many houseplants, or sipping an iced latte. I’m here to give you something that’ll bring you right back to the second in which it was captured. I’m so excited to get to know you!

We are over the moon with our experience working with Britt for our wedding! From the very beginning, she made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. Her communication was incredible, always clear and genuinely helpful. She went above and beyond in helping us coordinate with vendors and made sure every detail was aligned well before the big day. Beyond being professional, she was also so kind and lovely to work with. On the wedding day itself, she was an absolute calming presence. She made everyone feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. She was the ultimate hype girl. Everything with her felt effortless, and her positive energy brought such ease to the day. Her assistant was also phenomenal! Both of them jumped in to help with so much more than just photography, and we are truly grateful. And the photos… STUNNING! Every moment was captured beautifully, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We truly couldn’t recommend Britt more. She is an absolute gem, and we feel so lucky to have had her as part of our wedding.

Photography tells a story that words can’t. I love finding unique beauty in every stage that life brings. Your story, however mundane you think it may be, is unique. I want to capture that for you, whether it be an expecting couple going on an unknown journey towards parenthood, a newborn with oh-so-tiny details, or the unconditional love between a family. The images should speak for themselves: minimal guided poses, authentic moments and genuine emotion.

From the initial planning session to the day of, Autumn was a dream! She is a clear communicator & was able to get our vision for photos. She also helps lead the day to move forward seamlessly. Everyone loved her! The photos are amazing and unique. We are so happy with her being our photographer!

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding in California and Edgar flew out and helped make our day so memorable! We didn't know him before and didn't end up doing an engagement shoot (so I was a little nervous) but he absolutely nailed it. His photos are stunning (I've gotten a TON of compliments on them), he is extremely communicative, and he had a bunch of photos ready to go by the end of the wedding. Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

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
Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Ames, NE

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.
