  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,800

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!

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 were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding. Weddings are expensive, and at first it seemed like another huge expense we could live without. Due to COVID, there were a few people who were not able to attend our wedding, so we decided to go for it to share it with them. After seeing our final highlight video, I am absolutely blown away. These ladies are so talented, easy to work with, and exceeded my expectations ten-fold. Reliving your day in video- seeing the smiles, hearing the words, is just something so special. Don’t second guess it- get the videographer. You will not regret it! I would recommend this team again and again!.”

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
The process of using something borrowed blooms was so easy. I loved that the flowers could be reused and that I wasn't going to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would just be thrown away! They included the return label in the box with the flowers they shipped out, which was great because we did not have a printer at our destination wedding. All of our flowers were fake because I was also worried about the heat wilting our flowers. I only rented bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages and a dog collar- but I wish I had rented my centerpieces as well! Amazing experience with SBB all around!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350

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.

I had the absolute best experience with The Faux Bouquets. The flowers were absolutely stunning for my wedding. The owner, Brittany, was so kind and even called me to make sure my wedding wouldn't be affected by Hurricane Helene. Thankfully, my area was not affected, but I just really felt that was a special kindness that needs to be called out. But again, the quality of the bouquets, micro sprays and greenery was so great and photographed so well! And all at a fraction of the cost of real flowers that would have just been thrown away at the end of the night! The delivery and return process couldn't have been simpler! And I loved my husband and I got to customize and keep my bouquet and his boutonniere during a promotional add-on! Thank you again, Brittany and The Faux Bouquets, for helping make our wedding so beautiful!

Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

We first came across DJ Obie at our very good friends wedding. It didn't take long before I ran behind the DJ booth for his information so he could DJ our wedding a few months later. DJ Obie is the biggest hype man and his energy level is unmatched. He is so easy to work with and very accommodating. He made us feel like we were the biggest event he had planned for the year and that he was just as excited to work with us as we were with him. This is a DJ that truly loves what he does and truly enjoys making other people's visions come to life. Not only did we love him, our wedding guests couldn't get enough of him. He is the perfect balance of energy and intimacy if you are looking for a wedding DJ. Do not look any further because you will miss out.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.

The quality of their work is unmatched, a solid 100 out of 5! They created an incredible same-day-edit video that was shown at the end of our wedding, and the quality, plot, music, and framing were all flawless. While I was getting ready, the videographer even took it upon himself to shoot all the necessary footage of the background details. I highly recommend 5 Thousand Frames Films - you're guaranteed to have the best experience, as their professionalism and quality of work is simply outstanding.

We had an incredible experience with Flower and Oak. We chose the Cinematic Package which included a highlight film, an hour long video and all the raw footage. Vadym was our videographer and he was personable, kind, and focused. His editing of our film was wonderful. The voiceovers and the detailed shots. He captured all the special points of the day and knew to include/ feature the guests and moments that we may have missed as bride and groom on our wedding day. We also received so many compliments that no one even noticed we have a videographer because of how quickly he moved. This was the best decision and watching the whole day back a month later was truly so special.

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E
