I started out by capturing photos of friends and family. Before I knew it AddieG.Photography bloomed into a business. Weddings became my favorite event to capture and I have captured countless weddings in the Kansas area and also in Florida. I love meeting new couples and take pride in capturing your big day in a unique and personal way.

HIGHLY recommend Addie! She was so easy to work with and talk to. She controlled the environment very well and kept things moving. She did very well communicating and reassuring. I remember turning to her multiple times to apologize for the non-cooperation during group photos and she just smiled at me and said "we're all good." You can tell she enjoys what she does, she is confident, and she can take AMAZING pictures. Thank you Addie for capturing such beautiful photos, we are so excited to see the rest!

We absolutely loved working with OLAS! Our team (photo & video) was so adaptable to the venue and had great ideas for shots and making the most of the location.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Independence, KS

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
If you really want to save money on florals, then go with Flower Moxie! Just a heads up, IT IS A LOT OF WORK, but they give you very clear email instructions of what to expect and there are MANY resources they provide through articles, videos, etc. I was mistaken in thinking that all I would have to do is arrange flowers in vases. You are actually cutting, cleaning and processing everything. We refused to spend money on flowers through a florist, but with Flower Moxie, we were able to incorporate some florals for a very reasonable price!

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’re Debra & Jeremy, a husband-and-wife wedding photography duo capturing love stories with heart, intention, and a whole lot of soul. Our approach blends documentary moments with gentle guidance, so your photos feel natural, emotional, and unmistakably you. From quiet, intimate glances to joyful, unscripted laughter, we focus on the moments you’ll feel just as much years from now. If you value connection, authenticity, and images that tell a story—not just pose for one—we might be the perfect fit.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

I was so nervous about taking engagement photos (my fiancé can confirm I’m not a natural in front of the camera), but our photographer made the whole experience fun, relaxed, and even had us laughing the entire time. They knew exactly how to guide us without making anything feel awkward or staged. The photos turned out absolutely gorgeous—like magazine-level gorgeous—and now I can’t stop staring at them. If you’re nervous like me, trust me: you’re in the best hands!

He made a rainy day a very memorable one. I loved how he used the bad weather as a dramatic backdrop. I love my wedding pictures. Thank you!

Awarded Best of Zola
Of all the wedding vendors contracted for our daughter's wedding, Brian was by far the most professional, easiest to work with, and the best listener for the couples vision. He produced am superb product, which included a full ceremony video, and a highlights version to share with family and friends unable to attend in person. He was also unobtrusive, and practically invisible to everyone while simultaneously getting amazing video. His editing was stunning, and captured the audio and music selections that truly made you feel you were right there again! There should be a 10 star rating for people like Brain at Veiled Rose Films!
