  • Serves Iona, MN

Hello!! I am a wedding photographer for down-to-earth couples who want a stress-free wedding photography experience. I love working with couples from all walks of life who love a good party! You can find me blending in to your day and later, on the dance floor with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I absolutely love working with Bailey! From getting to know her and her business a little bit over FaceTime, to receiving incredibly quick responses to even the smallest inquiries over text, to our engagement photoshoot, she has been so amicable and personable! As someone who is a little uncomfortable being in front of a camera, she made me feel so at ease and relaxed throughout the whole shoot. Aside from her people skills, her work is absolutely amazing; our photos turned out even more romantic, dreamy, and artistic than I had hoped. Bailey also managed to send us our entire gallery less than 24 hours after our session, which is just superhuman. We are so excited to have her with us on our wedding day! I honestly could not recommend her enough to anyone looking for beautiful 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.

Ashley Lewis Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,699
  • Serves Iona, 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!

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!

We hired Flower & Oak for our wedding in August to do photo and video and we cannot say enough good things about them! The photographer and videographer were so fun, talented, creative, and professional. We still cry every time we watch our full video and even teaser video (which is less than a minute lol)! We would hire them again in a heart beat for any event and would recommend them without hesitation!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Iona, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I ordered the "peaches and cream" small package. We decided to skip on ceremony florals, and only have handhelds and bud vases at the reception. We did buy a few more flowers from the grocery to add more peach once the flowers arrived. We made and medium sized bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquets, 3 corsages, and 7 bouts. (With lots of flowers left over). My bridesmaids and I did the arranging the morning before the wedding; it was fun, and a great start to the weekend. None of us had experience, but it all turned out great! If you or your bridal party are mildly crafty, I'd highly recommend it!

Lindsay has been in the events industry for years and has overseen hundreds of successful events.

Lindsay not only plans weddings for our Simply Elegant couples but also trains our entire team of planners to ensure that every Simply Elegant wedding is flawless and our client's vision is fulfilled.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first meeting, Valerie from The Simply Elegant Group completely won us over. She met with us in person and spent nearly two full hours diving into every detail of our (okay, mostly my) wedding vision. Right away, it was clear she wasn’t just a planner—she was a listener, a guide, and someone who genuinely cared about making our day unforgettable. What set Valerie apart throughout the planning process was her consistency and calm professionalism. She stayed in regular contact with us—monthly check-ins at first, then weekly as the big day approached, and even daily in that final stretch. She always kept me on track without making things feel overwhelming. She helped with everything from designing signs to crafting our timeline and managing vendor communication. But most of all, she brought this incredible sense of calm that I didn’t know I needed so badly. I’ve seen other planners who are high-energy or frantic, and while they mean well, that kind of energy would have stressed me out. Valerie, on the other hand, had this "I got it" energy that was both reassuring and grounding. No drama, no stress—just total confidence and grace. And then there’s Gabi, her day-of assistant—who was equally amazing. Together, they made sure the day flowed seamlessly. I didn’t have to worry about a single thing. From the ceremony to the reception, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. And I swear—when it looked like it might rain, Valerie must have worked some kind of magic, because we ended up with a stunning 72-degree October day with sunshine. I mean, who else can literally chase the rain away?! Thanks to Valerie (and Gabi!), our wedding day didn’t just meet expectations—it exceeded them. It was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful for their support, calm presence, and true expertise. If you're looking for a planner who brings peace, organization, and genuine care to the biggest day of your life—look no further. Thank you, Valerie, for making our wedding absolutely perfect. We couldn’t be happier!

We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy.

These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

Awarded Best of Zola
The Faux Bouquets was a wonderful florist to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was prompt, clear, and friendly. They walked us through the process seamlessly and the quality of their work was excellent. The bouquets, boutonnières, garlands with clip on flowers, and centerpieces had an authentic, natural look despite being faux flowers. Pricing is transparent and affordable, making it an easy decision to choose Faux Bouquets. The bright spring colors in the Garden Vibrance collection were beautiful, annd a perfect fit for our late May wedding. The order arrived with ample lead time prior to the wedding day. Additionally, the packaging was excellent, and their return shipment process is very simple and easy to follow. We highly recommend The Faux Bouquets to any couple planning their wedding.
