  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Chariton, IA

A former newspaper photojournalist turned wedding photographer. I love telling people's stories, eating cake, and dancing at your wedding. All while making incredible photos you will pass down to your grandkids.

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.”

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.”

Her communication was amazing, she answered all of my questions quickly. She made us feel very comfortable! Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned.

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.

Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.”

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I'm inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you're actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what's already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. The images move between digital capture and authentic 35mm and medium-format film, giving each moment the rendering that suits it best — creating photographs that feel like frames from a film you happened to live inside.

Awarded Best of Zola
“After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.”

“If you're on a budget and want to capture all the feels of your wedding day, you won't be sorry choosing Seth & his team at Celestial Waves Photography! Their communication was active, punctual, and receptive throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was quick, creative, and incredibly helpful - they truly lived their vision and took some incredibly creative shots that beautifully captured the special moments of our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Celestial Waves to any couple looking for an affordable, talented photography team to immortalize their big day.”
