I'm Madi! I'm passionate about a lot of things, but some of them being; my family, sunsets over the ocean, motorcycles, puppies, sustainability, and making life buddies.

I believe in helping create a beautiful day for my couple, centered around them living the day authentically. I take a laid back, documentary approach to wedding days, and let you enjoy the people and loved ones there to celebrate you.

I was diagnosed with celiac in 2019, and since then I have been on a mission to create delicious gluten (and sometimes dairy) free options for all occasions. Not only are my treat super tasty, I also have a passion for making beautiful baked goods that that are on par with every other bakery.

I have loved the concept of photography and taking still shots since I was in elementary school when I got my first camera from Santa. Each year after that, he brought me a new one until my senior year. I ventured over to Best Buy and bought my first DSLR. At that point, I had no clients or any intention of making money from my work. Fast forward some (several) years, I’m an attorney and I only do a few shoots a year, but I am focused on growing my business, especially now that we have moved to the DSM area. I look forward to capturing whatever you may be looking for.

Hello and thank you for your interest in bringing me along as the videographer to capture your wedding! I’ve been shooting weddings for 5 years and have enjoyed every one of them. I started my journey with my camera in journalism school. Documenting everything happening in a small town.. little did I know how it would prepare me to transition into working directly with couples from their engagements all the way to every little detail of their wedding day!! If you’d like to hear more about me and my business, I would love to chat!! Feel free to send me a quick message and we can set up a time to talk 😎

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.

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.

Believe it or not, we often have people ask if our pictures throughout our website are showing a mix of fresh and faux and…no they aren’t! Although fresh florals are pretty, we are totally in love with poser-blooms all the way here and that’s what we design 100% of our orders with.

Wood & Word Blooms is run by a Jen Angle, former teacher of 20+ years and specializes in using hand-painted wood flowers along with a faux, dried and preserved florals (nothing fresh here) to bring your wedding vision to life not just for that one glorious day but forever. Besides designing for you, I also offer DIY Wood Flower Experiences to create your wedding florals alongside me in person or virtually and 1:1 sessions to help DIY brides learn to do it themselves.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories.

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.

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.

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee), solo parent of three wild things. My photography career was birthed from many years of pain. My life derailed and everything felt unstable and uncertain. The more difficult things became, the more I clung to small moments of beauty. When things felt dark, I clung to the light. And I could always find light in people and in nature. Focusing on others instead of my own dark days brought me joy every time without fail. I always knew I was creative but it took me a while to find my niche! As I ventured into photography, everything fell into place. It was as if I already knew the language, I just had to find the words.
