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!

Something Borrowed Blooms was a fantastic choice for our wedding flowers. Their communication was quick, efficient, and they were incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful - the flowers looked and smelled completely real, and all of our vendors and guests thought they were real blooms. It was so convenient to just have them pack up and ship the arrangements back after the wedding, and we felt we received excellent value for the cost. We couldn't have been happier with Something Borrowed Blooms and highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.8 (100 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Grand River, IA

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
My husband and I were nervous about doing our own flowers, but Flower Moxie made the whole process feel manageable. The team was easy to talk to and really listened to what we wanted, never making us feel rushed or judged for our DIY approach. They broke down everything into simple steps and provided gorgeous blooms that looked like they came from a high-end florist, but at a price that actually fit our budget. On the day of the wedding, our arrangements turned out beautiful and our guests kept asking who our florist was. We were so proud that we'd created them ourselves with Flower Moxie's guidance. If you're thinking about doing your own flowers, I'd definitely recommend giving them a shot.

I now have memories of my parents, grandparents, and friends that I’ll treasure forever. I almost tried to DIY the whole thing, but realistically editing my own wedding footage would’ve taken me until our first anniversary. They made everything fun and effortless. Thank you SO much!

I’m Haverlee, (hay-verlee). Based in Iowa, I serve the Midwest, Western NC, Denver, and beyond. With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.

Awarded Best of Zola
We truly cannot say enough good things about Haverlee. From the very beginning, she was so friendly and incredibly easy to work with, which made the entire day feel effortless. Of course, her photos are stunning, but what stood out most was how naturally she captured everything. Nothing ever felt too posed or forced. Every photo feels genuine and true to who we are. I mean this is the absolute best way possible, but there were so many moments where we honestly forgot she was even there, especially during our bride and groom portraits. She never felt in-your-face, but successfully captured every detail and emotion so beautifully. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes you feel comfortable, blends seamlessly into your day, and delivers breathtaking, authentic photos, Haverlee is truly the best.

Brittany spent time talking to me so many times about questions I had and was incredibly patient! With the custom bouquet, I was able to upload inspiration photos and she NAILED it! The shipping process was so seamless as well. Brittany provided the tracking numbers and thorough instructions on receiving and then returning the flowers. I pride myself on getting ALL the flowers returned in record time (Brittany said) ;) All of our guests couldn’t believe the flowers were fake and everyone was raving about them!

As a bridesmaid I was running around a lot and didn’t even notice half the stuff happening that day. But the photos and the video showed me EVERYTHING. The joy in every shot is just unreal. I laughed seeing myself making dumb faces in the background, and I cried watching the vows again. The editing of the video is sooo good, it feels smooth like a movie. They didn’t just focus on the couple either, they made sure to include the friends and family too which makes it even more special. The bride and groom look stunning but also so natural, like themselves. I’ve been sharing the photos nonstop because they’re too good not to.

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.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work.

From start to finish, JayDee and his team at Pluvia Studios were nothing short of exceptional! JayDee's attentive and thorough communication made navigating my sister's wedding preparations an absolute breeze. On the big day, he ensured our entire group felt completely relaxed and genuinely at ease, a testament to his clear vision and the team's seamless execution. The moment we received the notification that our photos and videos were ready, our excitement was palpable. Viewing them filled us with tears of joy and overwhelming love, as each beautifully captured memory transported us right back to the wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend JayDee and Pluvia Studios to anyone seeking top-quality photography and videography to capture their most cherished moments!

We truly cannot imagine our story being documented by anyone other than Cece. She has been with us capturing so many of our life’s biggest moments; our engagement photos, pregnancy announcement, family mini session, and most recently, our dreary rainy wedding day and she has delivered absolute magic every single time. Her talent goes far beyond just taking pictures. She has a gift for making every session feel effortless, natural, and FUN. Whether we were celebrating joyful milestones or navigating the downpour on our wedding day, she still brought creativity and fun energy every time. Even without the weather or scenery we had hoped for, she turned our wedding day into something breathtaking. The photos are filled with emotion, beauty, and moments we’ll cherish forever. We are endlessly grateful for the way she has captured our journey, and for the care and passion she pours into every session and every edited photo. If you’re looking for a photographer who becomes part of your story, in the best possible way, I would without a doubt, choose Cece a million times over. She is truly exceptional, and we recommend her with all our hearts.
