Your wedding day is filled with emotion and excitement; an array of intimate exchanges and loving interactions. Photography is an art unto itself and a sophisticated photographer is, in essence, a “painter of light”. A strong sense of timing and intuition enables me to capture your precious moments as they unfold and my work as an artist tells a visual story. The images I create become a part of the beginning “first chapters” of your new life together. Throughout your big day, I will photograph those cherished moments, as well as the fun and memorable ones, in a way to relive this blissful experience as you look back over the years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Ava, NY

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.

We had the pleasure of having DJ Lennox as our wedding DJ, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our big day unforgettable. First off, communication was wonderful. DJ Lennox was responsive in the months leading up to the wedding and provided a well-thought-out sheet to fill out for music preferences, special requests, etc. On the day of the wedding, he arrived early, set up quickly, and was professional throughout. The music selection was perfect - he really knew how to read the room and kept everyone on the dance floor all night! One of the highlights was the way DJ Lennox handled our ceremony.
