Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,400
  • Serves Vail, IA

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I worked with P&L last year for a wedding in Des Moines, Iowa. I was the couple's photographer, and they handled videography, and though we only met the morning of the wedding, by the end of the day we had become such lovely friends. I have so many good things to say about their creative work (the video turned out stunning, and the rest of their portfolio is also gorgeous) and their presence (I have never had an easier time working with a videographer.) They had an uncommon knack for shifting between taking charge themselves and allowing me to direct the couple or their families, all the while exuding a sense of calm and control that put me, and I’m sure the couple, at ease. I often find that working with other vendors can be an intrusive or even combative process, where each is trying to vie to be the most important to the couple and which ultimately serves no one—the couple, me, or the vendor themselves— well. P&L are the antithesis of that. They are friendly, collaborative, and genuinely love their work, and it shows in how well they communicate and how much they dedicate themselves to the cause of documenting a couple’s big day in the best way possible.
