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 PhotographyI 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 LyraA 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.
