Liv Frueh Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Vining, IA

Hello my name is Olivia Frueh. I am a formally educated photographer who loves to capture your memorable milestones! I have found a love for my light and airy look that provides a more natural tone to my images.

If we could rate Liv 100/5 we would!! We were so happy with the photos Liv took for our engagement shoot & on our wedding day. Neither ourselves or many of those in our wedding are very comfortable in front of the camera, but Liv's outgoing and bubbly personality, professionalism, and pure skill calmed everyone & made the photos come out STUNNING! We appreciate how Liv was able to navigate some of the stressful moments on our day and swiftly pivot when the weather/lighting wasn't coordinating. In a friendly manner, she was effectively able to round up guests, family, and the bridal party for photos to keep our timeline running smoothly. Prior to the wedding, Liv was very communicative with us and worked with us to understand timelines, vendors, family dynamics and more! She went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and make us feel comforted. All of our family and guests were very impressed with her work. I loved her style of photos they were very bright, natural, and clean. We will simply be insisting all of our friends to use her as their photographer in the future!

Choosing Katie was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding. Two of my family members had already worked with her, so we knew we were in good hands, but she still exceeded every expectation. Her communication was always timely, she was incredibly easy to work with, and every second shooter she partners with is just as wonderful and professional. She made such an important part of our day feel effortless. I would book her again and again without hesitation. And, just in our previews we already know we have beautiful pictures to always remember the day.

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.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Hi, I’m Jason, a Des Moines wedding photographer who travels around the globe photographing weddings. After documenting over 500 weddings, I can honestly say that no two weddings are the same! I strive for epic compositions with my photojournalistic approach to wedding photography to capture the true essence of who you are as a newly married couple. In addition to my skills as a photographer, I’ve also built my client experience to infuse more fun and less stress into your wedding day.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Jason for our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, he made us feel like we were old friends — warm, genuine, and so easy to be around. On our big day, he kept everything on track without ever making it feel rushed or stressful — especially during our family photos, which he handled like a pro. He captured so many beautiful moments, including ones we never even thought to ask for. His eye for detail and ability to be everywhere without being intrusive was amazing. Our parents were genuinely impressed by his professionalism and kindness — he made such a great impression on them, too. The final gallery was delivered SO quickly (a month!) and absolutely blew us away. Every photo feels full of life, emotion, and care. We’ve definitely found our photographer — not just for this wedding, but for every milestone ahead. We can’t recommend Jason Thomas Crocker Photography highly enough!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

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
When we first got engaged, Haverlee Photography was a no brainer, and she lived up to everything and more. Every picture from our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day is stunning and I have the hardest time picking my favorites. Hands down, best decision on wedding vendors was picking Haverlee. On top of delivering beautiful photos we will cherish forever, Haverlee made everything so fun and easy. My husband said our engagement session was like a date night, and Haverlee had me feel so at ease and beautiful through every step of our wedding day. She is the kindest human who gets the perfect shots of all the small moments, which truly matter to us and feel like us. Haverlee will always be our go to photographer for all the special moments for our family, and you can't go wrong with choosing her to be a part of your special day.
