Soul Film Co.

I believe every story or film should have emotion; whether it is happy, sad, or intense. You should feel something when you watch it. A film should have soul. I'm not your average wedding videographer, I am a creative looking to build a story.

“We could not recommend Jordan enough for your wedding videography needs! He is extremely easy to work with and very flexible. He had several meetings with us before the wedding day to make sure he knew exactly what we wanted for the video. We got the video and received so many compliments on it.. It was exactly what we had envisioned! He is the kind of person you need helping to capture your wedding day!!”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (106 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Chester, SD

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
“We used Flower Moxie for our DIY wedding flowers and couldn't be happier with our choice. The team was quick to get back to us and super flexible when we wanted to adjust our order. When the flowers arrived on our wedding day, they looked stunning and fresh. The quality was exactly what we hoped for, and everything came together beautifully for our ceremony and reception. For the price, we felt like we got great value and would definitely recommend them to other couples looking to do their own florals. Thanks Flower Moxie for making our day special!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“Truly a white-glove service! We decided to use Press Record Co for our wedding after deciding against a traditional videographer, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. What makes Press Record Co so special is that it allowed us to experience our wedding day through the eyes of our friends and family. The candid moments, genuine reactions, and little memories that might have otherwise gone unnoticed ended up being some of our favorite parts of the final video. When we received our edited film, we were blown away. It perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that felt authentic to us. We've already watched it multiple times and know it will be something we treasure for years to come. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer or looking for a more personal and affordable option, we can't recommend Press Record Co enough. The entire team was fantastic, and we're so grateful to have these memories preserved in such a unique way.”

Hey there!! My name is Alexis and I'm so glad you're here. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Hankinson, ND, with ties to Minneapolis as well, so I am in MN often and will gladly come wherever you are! I love the all things outdoors, especially forests and couldn't live without coffee.

“I had Alexis (and Sam) photograph my wedding at the Avalon Events Center on 6/13. She was awesome every step of the way, from having a huge bag of wedding kit items, helping pose and manage family for photos, and coming up with ideas for photos to make use of the large gap of time we had between the ceremony and the grand march. I don't think I saw her and Sam put down their cameras the entire 8 hours they were there on that day, so I'm excited to get the full gallery of photos! She was also able to rush us out for some awesome sunset photos when we only had a few minutes to get them. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Her price is extremely reasonable for the great quality of service and photos she provides.”

Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like.

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience using Unity in Glass for our unity ceremony! Since we were planning a destination wedding, we wanted something beautiful, symbolic, and easy to travel with—and this was exactly that. Instead of dealing with sand or candles that can be messy or hard to transport, Unity in Glass offered a meaningful and elegant alternative that truly captured the spirit of our day. Our guests were captivated by the idea, and we loved the thought of turning this moment into a lasting piece of art for our home. The process was seamless from start to finish. Everything arrived on time, well-packaged, and the instructions were incredibly easy to follow. Knowing we’d get a custom-blown glass sculpture made from the very crystals we poured during the ceremony made it feel so special and unique to us.

“When my husband and I planned our wedding, we knew that a skilled photographer was one of our top priorities. We could not have gotten luckier in finding Cecilia to be our photographer. She did such an amazing job with our photos and was such a joy to be around. When in the planning phase, she worked with us to make sure we planned out the shots we wanted and got the style of photography that we preferred. She was so flexible working around our hectic schedules the day of and made sure to have every picture we wanted planned and ready to go. She was a hoot on the dance floor and brought so much fun energy that our guests raved about. We were also married in a fairly remote area and she made traveling here a breeze. I genuinely believe Cecilia was the best photographer we could have possibly gotten for our wedding and we will forever cherish the memories she captured so well that day. Thank you for everything!”

“Pluvia Studios was an exceptional choice for our wedding videography. Their communication style was very responsive - they promptly replied to all of our texts and calls, making the planning process seamless. The quality of their work was truly professional. Even with our short notice, their team was able to accommodate our needs and captured our special day beautifully. Jaydee and his crew provided excellent coverage, ensuring they got all the important moments. They were a pleasure to work with, and Jaydee was always just a click away, answering our questions without delay. We are thrilled with the final video, which elevated our simple wedding into something truly extravagant. We are so grateful to Pluvia Studios for making our wedding day extra special.”

We're not a videographer. Nobody from our team comes to your wedding. Instead we ship you up to four small 4K cameras beforehand, your friends and family film the day from the inside, and our editors turn the footage into a 7–20 minute film. 3,000+ weddings since 2013. From $650, and you keep every clip.

“We chose Edit Your Wedding for our videography and it was honestly the best decision we made. They responded to every message right away and kept us in the loop throughout the whole process. The video they created is fun and intimate, capturing all the moments that mattered to us. What really blew us away was the price… we saved thousands compared to what a traditional videographer would have charged. Edit Your Wedding made it possible for us to have a wedding video we never thought we could afford. We couldn't be happier with what they delivered.”
