Tallulahmade is where my healing and my art meet. I am a combat veteran who turned creativity into a path back to myself, and now I photograph others with that same intention. Born in New York and raised in Tennessee, I blend true to color imagery with emotional editorial storytelling. As an experienced wedding photographer, I connect deeply, guide with care, and capture real moments that feel warm, honest, and true to your story. I love the emotion that color carries and how it shapes the mood of every image. My goal is to create timeless photographs that honor who you are and the story you are living. I believe memories deserve intention.

From our first conversation, the team at Tallulahmade put us at ease with their comfortable communication style and good energy. They were excellent at providing clear direction during our photo session, which helped us feel confident and natural in front of the camera. The resulting photos are simply stunning - the lighting is amazing and truly captures all the special moments.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Athens, AL

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!

I am a wedding photographer and had the absolute pleasure of working alongside Shelby for a wedding in July of 2025. I cannot say enough about her professionalism and expertise. She was truly on top of every detail, organized, calm under pressure and had an incredible way of connecting with the couple, their families, myself, and other vendors involved which made the day flow seamlessly! Her attention to detail ensured that nothing was overlooked. Her personality flowed perfectly with the day, vendors involved, and the couple. She was able to meet every question with a clear and confident answer which also helped the day run so smoothly. In this industry, it’s truly hard to find someone who can combine such perfect attention to detail with kindness and grace and I have to say The Southern Planner is just that!! Shelby’s skill had the poise, skill, and client experience that perfectly aligns with the luxury wedding space. I have no doubt that she will continue to grow and thrive in the industry and I would be truly honored to work with her again. I would recommend Shelby, without any hesitation, to any couple looking for a planner who can deliver an exceptional, elevated wedding experience.
