Hi, I’m Harrison Sellars, and I’ve always been captivated by videography and editing. Growing up, I admired the storytelling and cinematography behind every movie—it was more than entertainment; it was inspiration. When I discovered wedding videography, everything clicked. Delivering my first film and seeing the heartfelt reactions of the bride and groom showed me my true calling. Capturing love stories and turning them into timeless art is my passion and purpose. Each wedding is unique, and I strive to create films that reflect its magic, beauty, and emotion. Let’s create something unforgettable together.

From the very first meeting, the team at The Social Catch demonstrated a commitment to clear, frequent communication that put us at ease. They were transparent about their process and thorough in understanding our vision for the wedding video. The quality of their work was simply excellent - we were blown away by the final product and felt they truly captured the joy and love of our special day. The video turned out fabulous and we are so grateful to have such an amazing keepsake of our wedding. We cannot recommend Harrison highly enough!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (93 reviews)

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
Flower Moxie - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers provided amazing and quick communication throughout the process. The flowers arrived beautifully and they provided plenty of instructions to help keep them looking their best. While I ended up ordering way too much due to not making as many arrangements as I had anticipated, the blue flowers they provided were absolutely stunning and really contributed to the beautiful floral design and color palette on our wedding day. I would highly recommend Flower Moxie to any couple looking for a reliable and high-quality DIY wedding florals option.

My husband and I were beyond impressed with our entire experience with Debra Aslanidis Photography. From start to finish Debra made my experience as a bride so smooth and stress-free. Wedding planning can be a stressful process, but Debra provided excellent communication about what to expect leading up to the wedding and the day of, so we felt very at ease the entire time. When I ran into an unrelated issue (a problem with another vendor), Debra reached out and sent me recommendations and offered support while I dealt with the situation. It was unbelievably kind and not at all expected, but it really made me feel cared for and I appreciated Debra going above and beyond for me! On the day of our wedding, Debra and her partner Jeremy were absolutely phenomenal. For one, they worked so perfectly together. We had guests complimenting how well they worked and coordinated together! I seriously can’t thank them enough for not only being amazing photographers, but also helping with other tasks that they voluntarily did. I seriously felt like they assumed the role of our wedding coordinators at times, since we didn’t have one, by providing suggestions and opinions since they’re the experienced ones when it comes to weddings! I couldn’t be more thankful for their confidence and comfortability in doing so! Finally, I am seriously blown away by the fact that we got our photos about a month after our wedding day! Debra has worked weddings, engagement shoots, and other photoshoots every single weekend and has a family, yet still managed to bust her butt to finish our photos, and it was the best surprise to get our photos back right before celebrating one month of marriage. I am so in love with our photos and have looked at them every single day, multiple times a day, since getting them back. Photos are the one thing you keep from your wedding day (besides your memories!), and I am absolutely in love with the final photos! The editing is beautiful, and I’m so happy we prioritized finding a photographer who emphasizes the behind-the-scenes and candid moments. I love that our pictures are 100% in the moment and capture the real, raw emotions of everyone! There were several detailed shots of our venue and decor and I love those just as much as I love the ones of me, my husband, our families, and our friends! They’re all so stunning!! Our photos made me laugh, cry, audibly say “awww,” and smile the biggest, cheesy grin. I absolutely believe your photographer is one of the most important vendors you choose for your wedding day, and I would 1000% recommend Debra Aslanidis Photography to everyone I know!!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Birch Fields was the perfect choice for our wedding videographers. From our very first interaction, they demonstrated a thorough, professional, and warm communication style that immediately put us at ease. Their artistic, cinematic, and sincere approach to capturing our special day was evident in every frame. Steven's presence behind the camera made the day feel smoother and more relaxed, and he effortlessly documented the energy, joy, and love of our celebration. We cannot recommend Birch Fields highly enough - they are incredibly talented and genuinely easy to work with from start to finish.

Angela was incredible to work with! She was the absolute sweetest and she was able to communicate so well. She was on time and she went above and beyond. She has a great eye and an even better personality. All the photos came out stunning. The only regret is not having her there longer. I would absolutely recommend her!
