Hey yall! I am Laura. I am a lover of Jesus & ALL people. I am obsessed with sunrises, a collector of junk & antiques, a wife & mother, & an artist. You will always hear a mix of Dolly, Loretta, Jinks, Randy, Waylon & Willie playing near me as well. As a family we love to travel, camp, hunt, & enjoy the outdoors. Please take me out WEST! One thing I have learned in the past 12 years is that I was created to see God's beauty & to share this experience through my work. Whatever you find here that is good, or beautiful is not to my credit, but God's.

Laura has a great eye for detail and is super fun to work with! We love our wedding photos so much and will cherish them forever!

I cant say enough good things about our experience with Toast! Julianna was so communicative and fantastic with making sure that the memories of our day were captured perfectly! It's incredible that Toast has photographers nationwide that they contract with! Planning a destination -Oregon wedding from New York was made so much easier because of Julianna and her team! The photographer and videographer captured images and footage that were above and beyond what we ever dreamed! Plus, they were both beyond talented and great at directing us to make sure we got tge best images! Our photographer had a great idea to have me twirl and throw my dress, and it was one of the most beautiful images captured. Also, they were open to fun things we wanted to try. The editing process was seamless, and the product they produced was absolutely phenomenal. Like I said, highly recommend!

Erin and the entire OLAS team were an absolute dream from start to finish. From our very first phone call to receiving the final gallery, everyone was kind, professional, and so helpful. Erin was a calming, joyful presence all day long – giving gentle direction exactly when we needed it and somehow making us feel like total naturals in front of the camera. Every single photo is breathtaking. She captured the giggles, the happy tears, the little glances – every moment that made the day feel like pure magic. Steve and I keep saying we’ve never smiled so much in our lives, and now we get to relive it forever because Erin caught our love so perfectly. If you’re getting married: book OLAS. 10/10.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves West Salem, IL

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.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, helpful, and accommodating, making the process of planning our floral arrangements seamless. The quality of their work was truly stunning - the bouquets, and other florals they provided were beautiful! They delivered everything exactly when they said they would, creating a magical look for our special day. Alexa, in particular, was absolutely the best to work with and went above and beyond to ensure we were thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Flower Moxie to anyone looking for event flowers.

My husband and I used Direct Entertainment for our DJ and videographer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased!! The team was professional, great at communication, very kind and professional, and they helped make our day absolutely perfect! Jeff, our DJ kept the dance floor alive ALL NIGHT!! When the music had to stop at the end of the night, the dance floor was still completely full and no one wanted it to end. He did a great job announcing the events of the night, made sure that our ceremony music was perfect, and he stuck to our wedding playlist with the exception for a couple guest requests (which we were happy to allow). We were so happy and thankful to have Jeff there! Sie, our videographer also did a wonderful job! We have not yet received our video as our wedding was less than 2 weeks ago, but I already know it is going to be amazing. He was so great with communication, was prompt with his timing, and he even set up a second camera for guests to break away and give us well wishes for our marriage, which I'm so excited to watch back. He was very professional and wonderful to work with. We decided to add videography at the last minute because we thought we might regret not having it, and I am SO happy we asked Jim at Direct Entertainment if they had someone available for our day just a month before, and they did!! Jim, the coordinator at Direct Entertainment frequently checked in with us, asked us questions about ourselves, and genuinely made us feel like he cared about us and our special day. He was great to work with leading up to being assigned our designated DJ and videographer, and even after, he checked in to make sure we were happy and that all of the planning was going well. Overall, we would 1000% recommend Direct Entertainment for any wedding entertainment needs! I know they also offer several other services that we did not utilize, and I'm sure they are wonderful as well! Photos courtesy of Lang at Wandering Wolf Photography.

Use The Faux Bouquets! I know there are a lot of options out there for faux florals, but this company really stands out. Absolutely gorgeous selections. We chose one of the more basic options because of our color scheme but there were so many more stunning, fun and colorful options out there as well! We used them for the bouquets and boutonnieres and it made life so easy. No need to worry about the flowers staying alive or getting water stains on your dresses. We had everything in bins ready to go before wedding day. Great pricing. The bouquets are so full and you can see the thought that goes into choosing the colors, type, and placement of each flower. The company communication is quick, kind, informative, and they are just all around amazing!

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.

* PLEASE INQUIRE ON WEBSITE* 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!

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace and was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! Grace was very thorough and communicated with everyone from venue staff to the DJ to choreograph and capture everything. I fell in love with Grace's whimsical and wispy style of photography - she made sure to include everyone in the shots. Grace was punctual and went straight to capturing our final moments of getting ready, and she gave us time to socialize and enjoy our guests. I loved her creativity and willingness to take unique shots. I would definitely recommend her for any couple's day!

We booked Anderson for a sunrise engagement shoot at Green Springs Park in Enterprise, FL, and he exceeded every expectation. From the start, he made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which allowed our personalities and relationship to shine through in every photo. Anderson came fully prepared with creative ideas and a clear vision, yet he was flexible and collaborative throughout the shoot. His professionalism and communication stood out — he does exactly what he says he will do, which gave us complete confidence in the process. The images he captured perfectly reflect who my fiancé and I are, and we continue to receive endless compliments on the photos we shared online. His creativity is unmatched, and his ability to capture natural, meaningful moments is a true gift. I would absolutely recommend Anderson to anyone looking for stunning, memorable photography. He is not only talented but also a joy to work with — and we’ll treasure these photos forever!
