Seven Oaks helped to make our wedding experience incredible. Compared to other venues we looked at, they included so much that made our day easier. We were thrilled to be able to have our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception all in one place along with an amazing set-up for getting ready the morning of. Their flexibility and customization for the set-up, bar, catering, and photography also made planning so much fun. With their help, we were able to make our wedding day feel like a true representation of us as a couple. I highly recommend Seven Oaks to any couple in the planning process.

Storyteller Collective Photo Co

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Laurel, IA

Storyteller Collective Photo Co., proudly located in Ames and serving the vibrant community of Des Moines, Iowa, and beyond. I began this company many moons ago with a solid purpose - to make people feel something and to evoke genuine emotions through my photography. My passion lies in documenting individuals as they live their best lives, immersed in the activities and passions that fuel their souls. As a non-traditional photographer, I thrive on capturing authentic memories rather than elaborate setups. It's about freezing moments in time that speak volumes and resonate deeply with those who experience them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Storyteller Collective as a second photographer (wedding), and she is so relaxed and also efficient. She works with a sense of urgency but doesn't rush her clients. She knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and knows exactly how to arrange the day so that it serves her client. She's also very, very good at adapting when things change (like when it rains on an outdoor ceremony) and reassuring her clients that we've still got it covered. She is a really good person who is fun to work with. She produces high quality work on the regular and her work is so beautiful!

Katie Decker Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,800
  • Serves Laurel, IA

I’m a central Iowa based wedding and portrait photographer on a mission to capture joyful personalities and the moments where you can’t stop smiling. I love rural Iowa, dessert for breakfast, outdoor adventures, and I’m a total homebody. My approach to photography is simple. I strive to create memories that are true to life. If you’re looking for authenticity with a dash of small town USA, I think we’re going to be great friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a fellow vendor working beside Katie (me on video, her on photo) on someone's big day, she is all you could ask for when working in conjunction with someone on a wedding day. She was friendly and completely respectful of the work I needed to do, even though we had to work at the same time and in the same spaces. She was open to communicating about our needs and overall contributed positivity to the process. Photo and Video do not always team up effortlessly and thankfully Katie made it easy to do so! As someone who got to watch Katie at work, she really made an effort to make sure her shots were going to be beautiful (moving things around, finding the right lighting, etc). She was also so supportive and really hyped the couple up throughout the whole day, not only making them comfortable, but confident. I 100% enjoyed working with Katie and hope to do so again!

Janae + Co Productions

  • Videographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Laurel, IA

Hi there! My name is Janae Erickson, I’m the owner and founder of Janae + Co Productions. I have carefully selected a team to help me accomplish the truly beautiful work that we produce. My favorite thing about my job is capturing special moments that won't ever happen again. It's such an amazing feeling every time I look back at everything I captured & how beautiful it turns out. I'm constantly learning & improving and it is so so so rewarding.

“We came upon Janae very unexpectedly. After our wedding photographer cancelled on us 18 days before our wedding, Janae reached out and got us booked with her right away. Having never met her, knowing next to nothing about her business, or anything, we were kind of nervous. Our impressions quickly changed. Janae was so kind, helpful, considerate, and overall just so pleasant to work with. She had asked us a few questions before hand to get to know us and our style, which was so amazing! We had never had a photographer do this and it showed how much she cared. We received MULTIPLE compliments about her the day of our wedding from our family and guests. She went all out, including laying in the grass at a nature conservation center to get us our “Pinterest perfect shot”. We received tons of the most beautiful pictures we had ever seen. We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our special day, especially so last minute. We highly recommend her, as she will definitely be our family photographer from here on out.”

From the planning process to the big day itself, they contributed so much warmth while also handling logistics smoothly.

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Awarded Best of Zola
Using SBB was a great choice for our wedding - a fraction of the cost of fresh flowers, sustainable, and beautiful! We got centerpieces and some ceremony decor. Everything came boxed up safely and arrived like 5 days before the wedding. It was super easy for our coordinator to just take them out, fluff them up, and box them up again at the end of the night. I felt good renting not throwing away a bunch of stuff at the end. And again, the flowers were so beautiful!!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Laurel, IA

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Awarded Best of Zola
I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

Britt Nelson Video is worth every penny we spent. Initially I was not interested in hiring a videographer, but it was important to my wife so we started looking. Britt has amazing work. The value of the work for the price you pay is unmatched. Our videos were edited quickly and captured the day perfectly. We had him pick a teaser song and it worked perfectly. Not only was he fun the day of, he also had helpful tips and photo pose suggestions. The drone footage was super cool to see done as well! He drove several hours to our venue, arrived early and made sure everything was perfect. He is truly amazing; a one man show but it is all you need and it shows in the quality of his work!

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.

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.
