Elizabeth & Dakota • Photo + Video Duo
$0 Creative Fee

Ten years solo. Now teaming up for non-boring weddings.

For over a decade, Elizabeth and Dakota built their own independent creative businesses. Elizabeth ran Elizabeth Ann Photography, capturing documentary moments and real unscripted emotion, while Dakota built Haus of Lyra Creative Studios, crafting atmospheric films and original songs.

We worked side by side at a few weddings over the years and the energy was unbelievable. The workflow was natural, the shared light was effortless, and the final photo and film collections felt like magic.

Now, we are officially joining forces as a duo under [STUDIO NAME TBD]. But because this joint photo and video team is brand new, we need dedicated wedding content and testimonials together. And no, your wedding does not need to be an exotic island halfway across the globe. Whether it is tropical, in the mountains, a desert retreat, or a unique celebration packed with personality, we are looking for 3 fun, non-boring weddings to launch our duo portfolio. We cover 100% of our creative fees, you just cover our travel!

Elizabeth Ann

Lead Photographer • Elizabeth Ann Photography

I document the kinds of moments you cannot pose: the quiet squeeze of a shoulder, the laughter that leaves you breathless, and the raw beauty of the day as it naturally unfolds. With 5+ years of wedding photography and a background in corporate coordination, I keep your day organized and calm. I will make sure your timeline is seamless, your photos feel like art, and there is always a cold Diet Coke nearby.

Dakota

Lead Filmmaker • Haus of Lyra

A wedding film is not just a summary of events; it is a time capsule of how the day felt. I focus on the atmospheric details, the conversations, and the beautiful, messy energy in between. With a decade of commercial production and wedding experience, I craft films with cinematic intention, blending organic soundscapes and custom musical scores. I am here to make sure you can hear your partner's voice crack during their vows fifty years from now.

Frequently Asked Questions

No catch! While we have over 10 years of experience in our solo businesses (Elizabeth Ann Photography & Haus of Lyra), launching our joint photo + video collection requires new promotional portfolio material created together as a team. We cover 100% of our creative fees in exchange for couples who give us full creative freedom and let us feature their photo + film collection.

Once selected, we research the best standard economy flights and lodging near your venue and send you a single, flat travel invoice. You can pay that travel cost directly through our booking portal, and we handle all the booking, travel, and logistics details ourselves.

Not at all! Destination simply means anywhere we need to travel to. Whether it is a mountain lodge in Colorado, a desert celebration in Arizona, a beach house in Florida, or a unique venue anywhere across the US, if it has personality and energy, we want to be there.

We review every application personally. You will receive an email response within 48 hours of applying. If selected, we will set up a quick 15-minute phone or FaceTime chat to get to know each other and confirm details!
