HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Haverlee Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Lester, IA

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.

Awarded Best of Zola
There is no one in the world who does it like Haverlee. Haverlee was my family photographer growing up, she did my Mom’s maternity photos, she did my senior photos, and now my wedding photos. There is something really special about receiving photos that bring you back to moments you don’t want to forget, and that’s exactly what she captures- every single time. I’m thankful for the ways she doesn’t create staged photos, but captures genuine moments. I couldn’t recommend a photographer more than her, and am absolutely convinced I won’t ever go with another photographer!

Jason Snorlax Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Lester, IA

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024.

Hello! While I have always had a passion for photography it wasn't until 2012 that I realized how much I TRULY loved it. My husband handed me a DSLR camera and I started calling on my friends to do photoshoots. Next thing I knew, Markina B. Photography was born and it's been going ever since. What I love about being a photographer is that I get to see emotions, expressions, memories and joy-fullness through my lens. I get to capture and create art out of it for my clients to hang on their walls or to give as a gift. Photography is my true passion in life and I will never not love it.

Markina is absolutely amazing in every way! My (now) husband and I met with Markina to discuss engagement and wedding photography, which is something that we were extremely anxious about because we wanted the best! After our initial conversation with Markina, we immediately knew she was the one! Markina helped us with our timeline, setting up our photo lists, and she took the most amazing pictures!! My husband and I are normally not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Markina made us feel completely at ease. She guided us through each pose and kept everything moving smoothly. We are so pleased each time we work with her. Markina’s positive nature and flexibility in her work make her the best photographer to work with. I recommend Markina B. Photography to everyone!

Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience.

She brought so much energy to our day, and was an absolute joy to hang out with all day. My husband, not one for all the details and photos, even had the best experience of his life with her. Best of all, we are in LOVE with each and every one of the photos from Sarah! Each one perfectly captures a memory and a moment (in the most beautiful possible way) that my husband and I will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Sarah enough!!

Jovan was absolutely amazing to work with. On our calls before the big day, she was always happy and excited and answered all of our questions and it gave us such a sense of ease. I never once had to worry and stress about photos. Day of the wedding, she completely killed it. She was still her happy self but was able to organize us and snap some amazing photos. She worked with me on some odd family and friend dynamics and eliminated any worries I had. She did a fantastic job of catching the perfect small moments, some of which I didn’t even know she was capturing. The photos are all so naturally beautiful and I can’t even begin to describe how much we love them. They are clean and bright and show us, our personalities, and our people perfectly. 100% the best decision we made.

If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've had the privilege of working with Meredith at Cross Lake Media for a couple weddings now, and she's been nothing shy of an amazing vendor to work with! As a videographer, she's given me all the creative reign I need to successfully do my job all while being able to do hers as well. She's both professional and personable, and I am so glad the photographer community has brought us together. I love seeing the way she gives her clients the MOST special treatment, and I can't wait to see how she will continue to grow as a photographer.

I work in the renewable energy sector, but photography is my passion. In addition to photographing weddings and portraits, I do landscape and wildlife photography. I love to see people inspired to get outdoors, explore and have adventures because they have seen my photographs. My wishes are to inspire YOU and capture photographs that describe you.

It was a pleasure to work with Cassandra for our wedding. Her communication style was flexible and she always answered our questions promptly. The quality of her work was outstanding - she was professional and flexible throughout the process. Cassandra was calm, patience, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though our engagement session was our first professional photo shoot together. She was amazing at capturing the special moments of our wedding day, and we loved the amazing engagement and wedding photos she delivered, which arrived earlier than expected. We highly recommend her!

Hey Friend! Photography is my absolute passion and it shines through my images!!! I live for the RAW moments... the true emotion of the day. Tears that fall during a first look, the last hug with your loved ones before you walk down the aisle, and the ear to ear smiles once you've said "I Do!" I blend candid and guided shots, giving you the freedom to move about the day to enjoy it, while never having the thought of “what should I be doing” running through your mind! You'll be able to look back on your wedding photos 40 years from now and FEEL the emotions you felt that day. That's my promise to you!

Lauren Ashlie Imagery provided amazing photography for our wedding day. Her communication was efficient, clear, and prompt throughout the entire process making it so easy to work with her. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are so natural and detailed, capturing all the special moments beautifully. She also sent the sneak peak photos, along with the full portfolio, in a timely manner. Lauren was able to make me feel so relaxed and beautiful in front of the camera. I highly recommend Lauren Ashlie Imagery to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

I am a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do. I have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.
