You'll have your videos in three weeks or less.

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!

Tim Larsen Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Willow River, MN

Writing an about me page is a terribly revealing experience! Who takes the time to think "Who am I?" or "How would I describe myself to other people?" The temptation is to brag and be pretentious in order to convince you that I'm important, but instead I looked at my life and made some amazing discoveries. My life revolves around people. I love people. When I need to make a decision the people that it will affect are always the number one priority.

Tim Larsen Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Tim's communication was on top of everything - he responded quickly to emails and calls, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of his work and value were the best we could have had. Not only did Tim capture incredible photos that we will treasure forever, his rates were very reasonable. Tim is so personable, witty, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He really contributed to making our wedding day go smoothly. In addition to taking fantastic photos, Tim helped create a seamless schedule, provided vendor recommendations, and went above and beyond in many little ways. We can't recommend Tim highly enough for wedding photography services. His professionalism, talent and friendly demeanor lead to photos we never dreamed we could have. Thanks Tim!

They went above and beyond to support our group, even offering to help us load and unload our decor. This space is stunning for a wedding but would also make a great space for a rehearsal dinner, bridal shower, family get together or any other intimate group gathering.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.8

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Willow River, MN

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
Because of all the florals already there due to the nature of the venue, and all the florals and plants they filled in, I didn’t feel the need to have a ton of florals, so I did them myself! I found Flower Moxie here on Zola and they were so great! If you are thinking about DIY’ing your florals, I would definitely recommend looking into Flower Moxie! They have some set packages you can chose from, but I upgraded to the highest personalized package and it was so worth it. I got to have a phone call with the florist and they put together a custom package, and they definitely killed it, the flowers were exactly what I had in mind. There were so many resources and they went through everything so well I felt so prepared and we had almost no issues putting all the florals together. All of our florals still looked fresh and beautiful on our wedding day, and some of the florals in our arch arrangements lasted WEEKS. A word of caution though: it is definitely a lot of work, so just ensure that you have enough time in town before your wedding (i.e. you can’t fly in the day before your ceremony, if you are traveling to that location) and enough people to help you (for putting together, transporting and anything day of). I actually really enjoyed getting to do my florals myself, and would highly recommend if you are creative and DIYing your wedding!

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.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

I have followed Heather since she started and it has been so amazing watching her grow! Her and her team work so well to make your day special and made my visions come to life. I’m so happy she was able to capture so many memories of those closest to me. These photos will hang on my wall and be passed down for generations. I included just a few because they are truly something special!

Devyn was our photographer for our engagement photos in February 2022 and for our wedding in October 2022. We had the absolute best experience with her during both sessions. I was so overwhelmed when searching for a photographer, I didn’t know much about it and there are so many options out there. The first thing that caught our eye was her editing style. The coloring wasn't washed out or super saturated like other photographers editing I'd seen. Her editing was simple, yet captivating. We also noticed her creativity with the variety of poses and candid shots in her online portfolio. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, she so unbelievably kind and fun to work with! She makes you feel at ease behind the camera and that was so important to us! We would highly recommend Devyn to be your photographer for any special occasion!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC on several occasions, and Brooklyn consistently impressed me with her top-tier communication, quick responsiveness, and professional yet friendly approach. The quality of her work is amazing - she is well-organized, detail-focused, and excellent at maintaining communication with all vendors. For the styled shoots that I worked with at, Brooklyn expertly handled the setup, controlled all the details, and ensured seamless coordination with everyone involved. I can't wait to collaborate with them again on a real wedding day and see their magic in action once more.

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!
