Awarded Best of Zola
We booked True Hope Photography for our micro wedding because she offered affordable rates and flexibility that worked with our vision. From the start, her communication felt natural and exactly what we needed as a bride. On our wedding day, she showed up on time and directed everyone with such warmth and confidence that our guests felt at ease. She was genuinely friendly while keeping things moving smoothly, which is exactly the balance we wanted. We just got our photos two weeks ago and we're already obsessed with what we've seen so far. We can't wait to view the full gallery because every sneak peek has been stunning.

I seek the hard-to-see moments, the ones that we might normally miss. I'm looking at the in-between, telling the story of intimacy and of elegance, serving clients worldwide as their Dallas & destination wedding photographer. Whether your story shines most in the small, quiet moments, or on the dance floor with your closest friends, I'm documenting the moments of love between you all, and every beautiful detail in between.

I was the mother of the bride and loved Jenny. She was great to work with and her photos are absolutely stunning. Jenny is not the run of the mill photographer. Her work is unique and captures the essence of every moment.

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Athens, LA

I capture the heart of motherhood — from the “yes” to the baby bump, newborn snuggles, and every milestone in between. Weddings are where so many motherhood stories begin, and I love documenting the start of a family’s journey just as much as the years that follow. As a mom myself, I know how quickly seasons change and how meaningful it is to have photos that reflect real love and connection. I also specialize in heirloom products like wall art, albums, and professional prints, so your memories are beautifully displayed and treasured for generations.

Jessica was perfect in telling me her ideas and what she had planned. Her work is beautiful, so personal, so thoughtful, she really captured the special moments! She took lovely pictures, both personal ones with bride and groom and for the whole family. I loved how sweet she was!! Like I was talking to a best friend or a family member! Really makes everything personal and comfortable for everyone and it made my first and hopefully last wedding just amazing!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Athens, LA

Thanks for visiting! I’m Lauren, a natural light photographer serving Shreveport/Bossier City and surrounding areas. I have been doing photography since 2010. It brings me joy to freeze moments in time that are the hi-lights of my client’s lives. Whether it be a couple welcoming a new baby, a senior graduating high school, or a wedding day they will remember forever, documenting those days is just a dream! I married my crazy, outdoorsy, other half, Blake, in 2016. We welcomed our first baby girl in 2017 and will welcome our second baby girl in 2020.

From our first conversation, Lauren made the whole process feel simple and straightforward. She listened to what we wanted and delivered exactly that on our wedding day. What really stood out was how easy she was to work with—it felt like we had another friend there celebrating with us instead of just a photographer. Lauren captured all the moments that mattered without adding stress to an already busy day. Her photos are stunning and really show the genuine love and joy from start to finish. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who cares about making the day special.

Awarded Best of Zola
Something Borrowed Blooms provided the most lifelike and luxurious floral arrangements for our wedding day. The bouquets, ceremony pieces and boutonnieres were all incredibly realistic and high quality, with vibrant colors and lush textures that exceeded our expectations. In fact, as my husband and I were taking photos in a park, a bee even tried to pollinate my bouquet, drawn to its beauty and realism. Getting the boxes to the venue did require a bit of coordination, but with a little help from friends we were able to easily box them up the day after the wedding and ship them off via FedEx. We saved easily 2,000 thanks to Something Borrowed and you would never know the flowers were fake.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Athens, LA

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.

Due to location (Maine) some flowers were wilted, dead. Rep was EXCEEDINGLY good at swapping, fixing refunds, etc to make my daughter's bouquet GORGEOUS. And it was so far beyond expectations. I would work w FM every time. Exceptional service and product. 10 out of 10.

Flower and oak were absolutely amazing. They showed up extremely early for our event and we had the highest premium package ordered for the day. We had a couple specific shoot ideas for THE GROOMSMEN and the minute I walked in the front door. I was greeted by both videographers With all kinds of cool camera gear and they told us exactly what to do and there was no time wasted. I highly recommend flower and oak to anyone looking at getting married soon. The one thing I don’t regret about our wedding day is using them because they were so great. It doesn’t matter what the price is you will have those memories forever.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.

We'll turn all your raw footage into a beautiful, nostalgic Modern Day Home Video® you'll actually love to rewatch. It's raw, real, and totally you.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot recommend PressRecord enough! From start to finish, the entire process was incredibly easy and completely stress-free. The camcorders were simple for our guests to use, and everything was clearly explained, making the whole experience foolproof. What truly impressed me was their customer service. They were unbelievably kind and responded to every email so quickly. They even re-edited our wedding film **twice** to make sure it was exactly what we envisioned, and they happily searched through all of the footage to include very specific moments that were important to us. The most meaningful thing they did was incorporate a photo I sent them of our memorial table honoring my mom and my husband's grandparents who had passed away. Including that tribute in our wedding video meant more to us than I can express, and I'm so grateful they took the time to make it happen. Our final 5-minute home video feels so personal and captures the heart of our wedding day perfectly. If you're considering PressRecord, do it—you'll not only end up with an amazing keepsake, but you'll also be working with a team that genuinely cares about preserving what matters most.

My husband and I hired Edgar (Anchor Studios) as our photographer for our wedding on July 7, 2024. He did an amazing job!! Since we started working with him for our engagement pictures up to the wedding and after, he has been great at communication and very professional. He went above and beyond by helping us create a timeline for our wedding because didn’t know how weddings usually go. He worked so hard on the day of our wedding to get the best shots, and was very kind and helped us a lot with organizing order of events. He had great ideas for poses and was very mindful to get all the pictures we wanted with family members and bridal party. And even better than all of this, when we got the pictures, they came out amazing!! It’s very clear that he put a lot of hard work into making them look incredible. He is a very talented and skilled photographer. We were blown away by how they turned out! We are very thankful for how hard he worked and how great he made the picture look! We highly recommend him!
