Courtney Bicknese Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Franklin, MN

I'm a Wedding and Portrait photographer based in Marshall Minnesota, with a love for travel! Ever since I saved up enough babysitting money to buy my first digital camera, I've had a passion for documenting life! I've become passionate about serving couples, families, and individuals, to tell their stories through images. There are so many exciting events in our lives and my goal is to save those images, emotions, and experiences for you to have for a lifetime.

Courtney Bicknese Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Courtney's communication style was open, direct and genuinely kind - she took the time to understand our vision and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. The quality of her work is breathtaking, with a level of detail and innovation that truly captured all the special moments of our day so we could simply enjoy them to the fullest. It was such a comfort to have Courtney there, and we've continued working with her on other projects since the wedding - she is a true professional and we cannot recommend her highly enough!

Details Matter by Amber 
Rating: 3.0 (2 reviews)
  • Planner
  • Offers 7 services
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Franklin, MN

I have been a planner/coordinator and decorator for 13 years. I used to do weddings and parties as my side hussle but as of January, 2022, I have made this my full time business! I have several awesome ladies that work with me as well so you are in good hands!

I was VERY hesitant to book Amber and have her take over our wedding... I am a a bit of a control freak and I love a little DIY. Amber took all of my inspiration and made it a reality. She was so great to have the day of so my new husband and I could sit back and enjoy our day. She was there to take all of the questions and keep things organized. I would absolutely recommend booking her!

Ashley Lewis Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,699
  • Serves Franklin, MN

Thanks to divine intervention (*aka a super smart older sister), I decided to take a photography class in high school. Who knew that single class was going to drastically change my path. I pursued photography in college, along with getting my business degree, because I knew that I wanted to start a business that would allow me to be who I am and serve others in a way that honored that. Since then, I have photographed 80+ weddings, 100+ seniors and countless families. It has been such an incredible journey.

Ashley was so easy to works with. She was very flexible and responded quickly to any and all communication. We will forever cherish our beautiful wedding photos. My husband and I aren't very touchy-feely and he DOES NOT like the camera, Ashley made it fun and effortless to be ourselves. She posed us in ways that we looked and felt natural and comfortable for photos!

First of all, congratulations! Getting married is such an amazing time in your life -- It's my job to make sure your photos are just as amazing as you two are! I am Karie. The smile-loving, big dreamer, adventurous, go-getter gal behind the camera. For me, photography is a way to cherish some of life’s happiest moments. I work closely with you to create heartfelt keepsakes of your special day. I aim to capture all the sincere smiles of your wedding celebration. I believe that the best photographs are those that are genuine and filled with real emotion.

Karie photographed our wedding in September of 2024 and I was absolutely blown away and impressed with how amazing the pictures turned out. Both she and her second shooter were an absolute pleasure to work with and were so professional throughout the day. Communication was easy and expectations were clear on both sides. I am so so thankful that I will have such beautiful photos to look back on and remember our wedding day. She really made the venue look like something out of this beautiful fantasy world or professional magazine.

Something Borrowed Blooms was the best wedding decision we made. No one could believe they were silk. The cost is guaranteed and you know exactly what you’re getting. We were able to set up our venue the day before the wedding (including the flowers) and not have to worry about a florist arriving and taking our chances with it not looking the way we wanted it to. Could not recommend SBB more!!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (92 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Franklin, MN

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.

Our flowers turned out AMAZING with flower moxie! It was so fun to be able to spend the days before prepping the flowers with my family and friends, and they truly turned out so beautifully. Alexa and the customer service team went above and beyond to help in answering all my questions. I’m so grateful to have found them!

Brenda was amazing to work with from start to finish! She cared about understanding us as a couple and our desires for the wedding. Recommending other vendors that met our budget, our personality and vision. Wedding planning is full of stressful decision making and Brenda coached us through those moments, held us to account, but remained flexible. She’s so sweet, fun, and professional—always on time, always prepared, and somehow made the whole planning process actually enjoyable. She went above and beyond by even unwrapping over 150 wigs that we had forgot about. She was super quick to answer texts and emails, always happy to hop on a call, and kept us on track with a super detailed timeline so nothing ever felt last-minute or rushed. I especially loved her monthly check-ins on the 1st—it kept everything organized and stress-free. Brenda came recommended from a friend’s wedding, and now I get why. Couldn’t have asked for a better planner and I’ll be recommending her to everyone I know.

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.
