Awarded Best of Zola
Dan was our wedding photographer for our Florida destination wedding and we are over the moon from all the photos. He captured our personalities and all the good vibes from the weekend. Our sunset couple pictures are stunning! I highly recommended Dan for wedding photography. I have never known a photographer that made everyone so comfortable. Even the groomsmen who usually hate photos were having fun getting their pictures taken. We got the photos around 6 weeks after the wedding which was incredible. We got so many beautiful photos and I still love going through them. He captured the fun vibe throughout the whole day. We got a wedding album as well as some canvas prints with the photos and love seeing them around the house. You will not regret hiring Dan for any of your photography needs.

A unique photography and videography duo that just want to capture your best day ever. Based out of Iowa, Foxtail Films isn't afraid to travel! We have experience from California to Florida and just about everything in between.

Valerie was amazing to work with, she is easygoing, kind, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. From the very beginning, she provided us with a clear and organized timeline, creative picture ideas, and constant support, always making herself available to answer any questions we had. She was very prompt in responding, which made the entire planning process feel smooth and stress-free. On our wedding day, Valerie and Kevin went above and beyond helping both inside and outside the venue, seamlessly moving between my husband and me to make sure we each had everything we needed. Their teamwork and attentiveness truly stood out, and they made the entire experience even more enjoyable. When we received our photos and video, I was completely blown away as they captured every emotion, detail, and special moment more beautifully than I could have ever imagined. I am still in awe every time I look at them, and I’ll forever be grateful for the memories they preserved so perfectly.

The Continental Hotel is always one of my first recommendations for friends and family visiting Appanoose County, but my main point of this review is to share how great it is for couples getting married in our around Centerville to utilize. We booked a two bedroom suite for our bridal party to get ready in for our November wedding-- we were getting married down the street at The Majestic Theater. The suite was beautifully kept, well stocked and so much bigger than you'd think they would be. There was a time that probably 15 people were in the room and it didn't feel overwhelming or crammed. Our hairstylist & makeup artist also noted that there was great natural light for helping us get ready, something they usually don't see in hotels. Their staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgable and helpful. They also allowed us to order snacks from the restaurant that were delivered right up to our room in more sharing-friendly formats (Ex: smaller croissants for chicken salad sandwiches) Bonus Points: Their gorgeous bar is a great place for groomsmen photos!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350

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 walked us through every step, and their detailed tutorials were so helpful in making sure we got exactly what we wanted for our special day. We could not be happier with the experience and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Our approach is rooted in authenticity, ensuring that every laugh, tear, and tender glance is preserved with genuine emotion. We believe in creating a relaxed environment where you can be yourselves, allowing us to document your day as it naturally unfolds.

This was the first wedding in our family in a long time and it was emotional. The laughter and the tears, it was all captured so beautifully. The photos look like something out of a magazine but still feel personal. The video honestly made me cry, I wasn’t expecting it to be that powerful. It wasn’t just the couple, it was the whole family, the kids, the grandparents, everyone. I love that because those moments matter too. You could tell how much care they put into it. Even the candid shots of people dancing are priceless. My cousin will have these memories forever, and honestly so will all of us.

The final result was heartfelt, high-quality, and captured the spirit of our day so perfectly—it truly brought tears to our eyes. It had a bit of each of our family members which meant so much to us. The whole team was kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Thank you for helping us preserve such a special memory.
