Skyler Livingston Photography 
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Independence, KS

I started my business back in 2008 but have had a love for photography most of my life. I developed a photojournalistic style of photography. Most of my photos are candid shots. It is not my preference to have people pose for shots. I find that I can capture more natural emotions and expressions when people are being themselves. Thus the photograph becomes a more realistic expression of the person, not a pasted-on smile or pose. I sit back and let people do what comes naturally. It can be difficult to be invisible when carrying a large camera, but I try to be as unobtrusive as possible. Clients become used to my presence.

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Awarded Best of Zola
Using SBB was a great choice for our wedding - a fraction of the cost of fresh flowers, sustainable, and beautiful! We got centerpieces and some ceremony decor. Everything came boxed up safely and arrived like 5 days before the wedding. It was super easy for our coordinator to just take them out, fluff them up, and box them up again at the end of the night. I felt good renting not throwing away a bunch of stuff at the end. And again, the flowers were so beautiful!!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • 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
I highly recommend Flower Moxie!!! The flowers were amazing quality and I even had them delivered on time for a wedding three days after Christmas! I received my flowers 5-6 days in advance due to the holiday, and they still held up a few days after the wedding! The customer service was amazing, especially Alexa! She went out of her way to make sure she could help throughout any point of the service. She was very quick to respond and was very kind and sweet to work with! I highly recommend Flower Moxie and Alexa to help you with your flowers for any event! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!

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.

I randomly entered Anderson’s giveaway for a free engagement shoot and was shocked when I actually won! At first, I was skeptical, but Anderson followed up and patiently answered all my (many!) questions. From the start, he felt more like a friend than a photographer. He helped us pick the perfect location and outfits, and when we had to reschedule due to an emergency, he made sure we still got our shoot—never once making us feel like “just another client.” On the day of the shoot, Anderson took the time to get to know us as a couple, and the whole session felt fun, natural, and full of love. He kept us moving, laughing, and feeling like ourselves. The preview video and final photos were absolutely stunning—we were in tears. Our friends and family were too. We’re not wedding planning yet, but when we are, Anderson will be our first call. Highly recommend—he’s the real deal.

We specialize in documentary-style micro weddings and elopements, which means we focus on capturing your day as it naturally unfolds. Instead of staging or posing moments, we observe and photograph the real, unscripted emotions, connections, and intimate details that make your celebration unique. Our goal is to tell your love story authentically, preserving the genuine moments that reflect the true essence of your special day.

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!!

We hired All A Events as our day of coordinator. My wife and I are so glad we did. Aleacia was easy to work with, and always had an open line of communication even if she wasn’t our complete wedding planner(we did most of the planning in advance, but agreed the day of was going to be hectic) as the groom, all I had to do was bring our decor and drinks. Then I was told to hang out in the groom suite. The bride arrived and all she had to focus on was getting ready. I kept asking Aleacia if I needed to do anything(I hate not being able to help lol) her and her crew told me no politely of course and told me “it’s your day to relax”. They decorated the venue beautifully and understood what we wanted. (We didn’t give them detail for detail cause we’re easy going) but I know All A events wouldn’t have any issues with more meticulous wedding decor. We had a smaller wedding and they made our 7 tables look like a large crowd from the sweetheart table. When we were doing our photography shoot, she made sure to bring us snacks and water from all the walking, and updated us about our catering be a bit late but on the way! Even offered to get more snacks from a grocery store nearby. Also Aleacia did all of this a month or so after having a baby! And she still kept that communication line open if we had any questions! She kept our timeline going in a timely manner(we had room for things be delayed or pushed forward) The end of the night her and crew cleaned up the venue in a timely manner. (We did a fake exit to help load our personal cars and pick up the suites) I would highly recommend them, they work quick and to the point, and offer any type of assistance in decor or rentals.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

Hi, I’m Lena – Your Wedding Photography Bestie! I’m so glad you’re here! Capturing love stories has been my passion for 8 years, and I travel across Missouri to document weddings and engagements filled with joy and romance. Your wedding day is more than just an event – it’s the start of your forever, and I’m here to make sure every moment, big or small, is beautifully captured. As someone happily married myself, I know how special this time is. My goal is to make you feel confident and comfortable, creating photos that are authentically you – timeless, romantic, and full of heart. Let’s connect and make magic together! 💕

We had the pleasure of working with Lena for our wedding in October 2022, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the results! From the very beginning, she was so professional, attentive, and easy to work with. She made us feel completely at ease throughout the entire day, and it truly showed in the photos. Her eye for detail and ability to capture the most beautiful moments—big and small—was incredible. We absolutely love how she blended candid shots with stunning portraits, and the final images are beyond what we could’ve imagined. Every picture tells a story, and we’ll treasure these memories forever. We are so grateful to have had her as part of our special day and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented, kind, and professional photographer! Thank you again, Lena, for making our wedding memories so beautiful!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!
