I’m Ashlee - owner of ap FILM & PHOTO and I’m so glad you found me! Based out of Cedar Rapids (born, raised and stayed) but I’m down to go anywhere our hearts desire. My photography style is joyous, candid and it looks moody and bright all at the same time. If that’s what you’re after - let’s get started!

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashlee is the best to work with. I can’t wait to see the rest of my album, I’m already giddy with the sneak peak! She was absolutely everything I wanted in a photographer and more. My husband wasn’t wanting pictures, but during the wedding and afterwards, he was so grateful we had Ashlee capture it. Her style was what I was dreaming of, and if you’re worried about posing, she helps coach your poses. Our wedding was a fantastic day, and she’s one of the reasons it was.

Jack Wylde (they/them) (name in progress) I am an Inclusive Wedding Photographer blends fine art with authentic storytelling, creating images that feel timeless and deeply personal. Inspired by the richness of romantic paintings, I capture love with moody tones, candid moments, and creative angles. From elopements at sunrise to backyard celebrations under the stars, I celebrate all types of unions—LGBTQIA+, non-traditional, eco-friendly, and more. Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding photos by From GA with Love are absolutely breathtaking. We had our ceremony overlooking a serene Swan Lake at sunset, and the way they captured the luxury and tranquility of that moment still takes my breath away. The shot of us holding hands on the elegant wooden bridge, with the golden light reflecting off the water, looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale. They didn’t just capture the ‘big moments’—the quiet glances, the subtle laughter, and the peaceful calm of our surroundings were all preserved so perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with how every detail was immortalized with such artistry and care. If you want photos that tell the real story of your day—and make it look like pure luxury—look no further!

Hey there! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer serving the East Bay, San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma + Worldwide! I travel everywhere. I love capturing magical outdoor weddings—whether it’s a dreamy garden, a historic home, a charming winery, or a private estate hidden in the woods (I'm basically the Indiana Jones of weddings). My couples often say how comfortable I make them feel, how I capture the real moments without being intrusive, and how much fun they have during our shoots. I’m obsessed with the details and love when couples pour their hearts into making their wedding day unforgettable.

From start to finish, working with Vanessa was an absolute dream. We knew our wedding photos would be important, but the moments she captured completely exceeded all of our expectations. From the very first consultation to the final delivery of our images, every step of the process was seamless, professional, and filled with care. On the day of our wedding, Vanessa was not only incredibly skilled but also a calming and positive presence. They blended into the day perfectly, capturing candid moments without ever being intrusive. The photos are a perfect mix of breathtaking portraits and those spontaneous, emotional snapshots that tell the story of the day. From the laugh-filled getting ready shots to the tender first look, every photo is a work of art. Thank you Vanessa for giving us the gift of such stunning memories — these photos are treasures we will cherish forever!

Hey!! Congratulations and I'm so excited you're here! My name's Lissa (pronounced "Lyss-uh") and photographs are my jam! Also my jam? Bright colors, the lamest jokes, floral everything, weird history, and awesome ghost stories. I'm a total mother hen / perpetual big sister and I'm mom to Max, Henry, and Penelope. I love creating. I garden. I sew. I crochet. I design ridiculously cute tee shirts. But most of all? I freaking love creating photographs. A professional photographer since 2011 (eek!), my photographs are bright, happy, and totally meant to hit you in the feels. But most of all? They're a total party!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was such a pleasure having Lissa as the photographer for our wedding. She has taken several photos for me and my family throughout the years, and each time the photos have always been exactly what we wanted. Her photos are vibrant, full of color, and full of feeling. Lissa was sure to respond quickly to contracts, questions, and provided information in a timely manner. She listened to our desires and concerns, and when needed she provided feedback that helped us feel more comfortable and excited to work with her. She is incredibly easy to work with her. She was flexible with any photo requests that came up in the moment, and she guided and directed us for other shots she felt would turn out well when we weren't sure what to do next. She was professional and courteous to all of our wedding guests and yet always made sure to prioritize our (the bride and groom) desires and time as opposed to the rest of our wedding party. She had a happy, yet focused disposition while working with us. That focus was evident in the BEAUTIFUL pictures she took. She perfectly captured our joy that day. Turnaround time was better than expected, and we couldn't be happier with the results. We have no regrets with our choice of wedding photographer. She's amazing!

My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Tawny a few years ago when she was tagged on another Instagram page that I followed. I was immediately drawn to her style, and her inclusiveness as a photographer. I knew someday, when the time came for me to get married, that Tawny would be on the short list. After getting engaged and beginning our vendor search, Tawny's attention to detail, and personalization of her services stood out amongst all the other inquiries we sent out. Something as simple as the personalized video she sent us after our initial inquiry, detailing her packages and what she felt would be best based on what we were looking for. When we finally met for our engagement shoot this past February, we had an instant connection! Tawny was so inclusive, and captured our vision so perfectly that we could not wait until wedding day! This past weekend, we had the pleasure of spending the entire day with her, and as a bride, the biggest piece of advice I can give other brides is to choose vendors who you vibe with, and want to spend your whole day with! I would get married a million times over if Tawny was going to be on my team!

I aim to professionally document the wonders of your celebration in a way that feels easy, relaxed, and enjoyable for you. My creative background provides a unique aspect to my photography. It combines high-quality and top-of-the-range equipment with an individual perspective.

When you are hiring Veera, you are not getting yourself a photographer, you are roping in a magician, and the master of capturing emotion. Veera covered my wedding that spanned 3 days, and was filled with events, music, dance, color and laughter. I have never met someone as professional, fun, kind, accommodating and talented as him. He was the best vendor I worked with through the wedding planning. He knows exactly what to do, the shots to take and angles to capture. His skill and talent will immortalize many an occasion, and with guarantee, compel you to relive the joyous event. The hues in his pictures are the most vibrant combination and contrasts, and you will soon learn that he’s elusive to normal surfers of wedding websites on the Internet, and rightfully so, for he is your surprise find. Should you ever have the good fortune of landing his services, you will look at the outcome and realize that he has put his time and soul into it. I do not wax eloquent about people for any reason other than the fact that they simply deserve it and he is one of the very few people I’ve ever written this for. I can count on my fingertips the people that I’ve left reviews. Veera, bless your heart, you’re a great guy, with the gift of photography from God, but you enhance it with your good nature, absolute professionalism, sense of timing and the oodles of creativity you possess. I do not wish to have any other photographer for any milestone of my life will follow this. Hire him without the slightest doubt and he will make your moments look like they’re straight from a magazine, without all the fuss and with everything that’s real and tugs at your heart.

From the beginning, Sevi was communicative and helpful. She provided a guide for wedding planning, photographed our engagement shoot beautifully, and even introduced us to her husband, Jeff, who officiated our wedding. The day of, she arrived with a second photographer and captured all the moments you want, to include candid ones we didn’t even think of. She provided a sneak peek in a few weeks, and the rest of the 800 photos in approximately 3 months. The wait was worth it as she went through each photo of the thousands she took and provided an album that perfectly curated our day. I couldn’t recommend Sevi more. Thanks, Sevi!

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

If you’re looking to hire a wedding photographer who can capture your big day in a “not so traditional” way, then you’re in the right place. We are Alternative Portraiture & Documentary Wedding Photographers based in sunny (and sometimes rainy) South Florida, and we like to think of ourselves as friendly, honest, and quirky (the good kind, we promise). We are creative beings at heart and love to tell stories unconventionally.

Erika was the absolute best! She made us feel very at ease and effortlessly directed us for all the poses. She got all the important moments in our ceremony and lots of beautiful candid shots of friends and family at the reception. The cake photos were super fun and the decor shots were perfectly detailed! When we first saw our pictures we were in total shock! They were amazing! She is perfect in every way! Beyond 5 stars!

With over 10 years of industry experience, my strengths clearly lie in wedding and portraiture photography. Whether you're a recently engaged couple looking for someone to preserve your journey from fiancés to newlyweds through photographs, an expectant Mama hoping to capture your maternity glow or simply wanting to document you and your loved ones during whatever special season of life you're in, I would love to hear from you, I specialize in all types of portraiture but I am renowned for my wedding and engagement photography above all else. Whatever your photo needs are, I would love to chat and find out if we're a good match.

Sam was our girl from the beginning. She encouraged our pups in our engagement photos and worked around their lack of being photogenic. She pushed us, comfortably, out of our comfort zone. She was found by my Maid of Honor on Instagram and I immediately knew her style was what I had been looking for. When it came to wedding day I was most excited to see not only our photographer, but a friend. She was supportive, easy to work with and guided us in the right direction when needed. She knocked out our photos in a timely manor while positioning and giving great direction as to where to move to make the picture look better (something that was important to me). I am happy to scream her name for recommendations from now on & return to her in the future!

I had an amazing experience with Kira Trinh Photography! Working with Kira felt effortless. She was very professional yet kept the atmosphere fun and light throughout the session. We started the session by listening to music while sharing ideas. I was truly impressed with her preparation. Kira came with creative poses and concepts, yet she was always receptive to my vision. She helped bring all my visions to reality, I couldn't ask for better! The results were stunning! Kira made me feel comfortable and confident during the photoshoot, which really showed in the results. I can tell she paid attention to each little detail. She perfectly captured my natural beauty, creating photos that feel authentic and unedited. I highly recommend Kira Trinh Photography for any occasion. She has already done my graduation photos along with various shoots, and I haven't been disappointed once. I'm already thinking of what we can do for our next shoot.

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

Deb and her team did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding pictures in April 2021. The pictures are so beautiful and did a great job of capturing our day. She got the pictures back to us so quick too! Our friends and family have not stopped texting us raving about how nice the pictures came out! Would recommend Parker Photography to anyone.
