Hello my name is Olivia Frueh. I am a formally educated photographer who loves to capture your memorable milestones! I have found a love for my light and airy look that provides a more natural tone to my images.

Liv is amazing! There is no other way to put it. Having her as our wedding photographer might be the best decision we made for our wedding. On the way home from our wedding I told my husband that we would be going to where ever Liv is to get any photography we need for the rest of our lives. Not only did we love every second with her but our family and friends have continued to tell us how friendly, professional, and just great at her job she is. At the end of the day we also ended up with a gallery with amazing pictures. The only bad thing is that we can’t pick which ones are our favorites! Don’t miss out on your opportunity to hire Liv, you truly will not regret it!

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.

My husband and I have been fortunate enough to do several couple’s sessions with Jayme! She is truly so sweet and incredible at what she does. I always know the photos will turn out amazing because she helps you throughout the entire process!

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!.”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves State Center, 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.

Flower Moxie was a great floral vendor. Their wide range of diy tutorials was very helpful, and our florist helped us form a vision for our wedding flowers. We were very happy with how our flowers turned out, and proud we could have a hand in diy-ing this aspect of our wedding.

We had the most incredible experience with the Faux Bouquets! From start to finish, Brittany was responsive, caring and efficient! We rented the ‘Moody Romance’ suite and I purchased an add on of a custom bridal bouquet and boutonnière! I had done thorough research on purchasing real flowers and while price was our driving factor, I loved the element of saving on waste with renting and the option to purchase a keepsake! Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them! Do yourself a favor and go with The Fuax Bouquets!

Hiring Britt as our videographer was honestly one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. I was a bridesmaid a wedding that Britt shot a year before my wedding, so I’ve had the pleasure of working with him as both a bridesmaid and Bride. He is honestly such a breath of fresh air to have around! He is so kind and truly makes everyone around him and in front of the camera feel so good. He also captured the most special moments of the day - the videos he put together are truly incredible. I can’t believe some of the moments he captured during my wedding day, there are some moments in our video that I truly didn’t even know he was around! Our highlight film also tells the perfect story of our day and my husband and I literally can’t stop watching it. He also made a video for our ceremony, a video for our speeches, a video teaser, and even one we can share on tiktok! How fun! I could not be more please with all the work he put in to our wedding day and into creating the most gorgeous videos. If you haven’t already, absolutely hire Britt to capture your big day!!!

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 was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Jason is simply the best! We stumbled upon him after reviewing photographers in our area and it was the biggest blessing. He was super quick to respond after we inquired about availability and before we knew it he was taking our engagement photos! We made Jason aware of when we hoped to send out save the dates for our wedding and he got our photos back to us within a week of them being taken with a preview the very next day! Jason is super open to making your photos memorable so when we wanted a few photos with our pup and us celebrating with champagne, he was all in! Fast forward to the months leading up to our big day, Jason was always there with emails to make sure he was prepared and had all the details we were looking for in our photos. We have a big family so our shot list was a little long but come wedding day, Jason was firing through those photos to make sure we stayed on schedule. We were actually ahead of schedule all day long which I know is a result of his efficiency. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect and we owe a lot of thanks to Jason for that. He was so personable with everyone he met and made taking photos fun! Our friends and family are still raving about Jason and we got married a little over a month ago! And can we talk about the quality of his work? They left my husband and I speechless. Jason, thank you for being you! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a kinder soul. We can’t wait to recommend you to all our friends and family and to have you capture our lives in the years to come! Love, the Barnes

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 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

Haverlee Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first got engaged, Haverlee Photography was a no brainer, and she lived up to everything and more. Every picture from our engagement session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day is stunning and I have the hardest time picking my favorites. Hands down, best decision on wedding vendors was picking Haverlee. On top of delivering beautiful photos we will cherish forever, Haverlee made everything so fun and easy. My husband said our engagement session was like a date night, and Haverlee had me feel so at ease and beautiful through every step of our wedding day. She is the kindest human who gets the perfect shots of all the small moments, which truly matter to us and feel like us. Haverlee will always be our go to photographer for all the special moments for our family, and you can't go wrong with choosing her to be a part of your special day.
