  • Photographer

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Mankato, MN

Hi! I'm Cedric, the lead photographer behind MCDYphotography. What started as a creative outlet over a decade ago has grown into a full-blown passion for capturing life’s most meaningful moments. As someone who values genuine connection and storytelling, I approach every wedding with care, intention, and attention to detail. I believe photography should feel personal and timeless, something that brings you back to exactly how it felt in the moment. Based in Mankato, MN, I work closely with each couple to document their day in a way that reflects their story honestly and beautifully.

Working with Cedric was awesome from start to finish. He totally got our vibe and made the whole thing feel super easy. He cracked jokes, kept things light, and somehow managed to make two awkward people (us) look amazing in photos. The turnaround was quick (5 days), the quality was insane, and we’re just really happy we went with him. Highly recommend if you want someone who’s talented and just fun to have around on your big day.

Mankato, MN
  • Florist

Hi, I am Andrea, the owner and lead designer of Budding Creations. If I am not working with flowers, you can find me drinking coffee or wine on the couch while reading. I love all things that involve being creative wether that is baking and decorating cupcakes, practicing calligraphy, or decorating.

I have been lucky enough to work with Andrea and the team at Budding Creations on many occasions and the final product that they deliver is truly some of the most incredible floral design I have seen in over 7 years as a wedding planner. Recently I worked with Andrea to turn a client's whimsy garden wedding into something beyond what the bride could even dare to envision. The look on the Bride's face when she saw what Andrea had created for her wedding reception is something I will never forget! Attention to detail and thoughtful design as well as impeccable taste are all highlights of working with this team. I am confident that any couple's floral dreams are possible when working with Budding Creations.

I’m a certified photographer who specializes in lifestyle imagery, including engagements and weddings. There’s just something so special about capturing two people starting their lives together, and I truly love being part of those moments.

My goal is to capture all of it in a way that feels real, natural, and true to you. My sessions are easygoing and fun. I’ll guide you when you need it, hype you up when you don’t know what to do and make sure you feel comfortable the whole time.

Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

Beautiful, charming, full of options/amenities, and an easy-to-work-with venue owner. Yes, please. I toured a handful of places in MN before I signed up for the Barn at Ballard Creek. Other venues were either too expensive for what you get, the people weren't as approachable or as communicative, or as beautiful location-wise. I love the big red barn, the cottage to get ready in, the cows, the flowers, the big tree where I was married, and more. There's plenty of parking. It's clean. Lindsey helped me figure out how to make the wedding work for my vision and budget. I like that I wasn't forced to pick a specific caterer too. 5 stars all around. Have your event here! It's perfect.

SBB was the perfect choice for my wedding. I did not want to spend thousands of dollars flowers just to be thrown away. I did a preview pack just to see how real the flowers looked and choose between two styles. I used the charlotte collection for my wedding, and they all looked beautiful. When we arrived the morning of our wedding our venue coordinator couldn’t believe they were fake! Everything was delivered nicely in about 4 large boxes, and returning them the following day was super easy! Plus they look GREAT in the photos we’ve received so far from our photographer! We also rented candle votives from them, and they came tightly packed so none would break in shipping and I loved the design!

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 
Rating: 4.9 (92 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Mankato, 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
Flower Moxie provided great options for access to specialty flowers to utilize at my wedding. With great communication following floral delivery, and provided further instructions to ensure preservation of the roses at delivery. I was stunned with how well the roses lasted from being delivered 2 days prior to the wedding and lasting for 2-4 days following the wedding. Blue Delphinium was the least impressive, and I was not pleased. Sad. Wilting and unable to hydrate. I was not impressed. I ordered: Orange Free Spirit Garden Roses (50 Stems, 3.60/stem) and Light Blue Delphinium (50 Stems, 3.00/stem) and spent 354.

Devyn was our photographer for our engagement photos in February 2022 and for our wedding in October 2022. We had the absolute best experience with her during both sessions. I was so overwhelmed when searching for a photographer, I didn’t know much about it and there are so many options out there. The first thing that caught our eye was her editing style. The coloring wasn't washed out or super saturated like other photographers editing I'd seen. Her editing was simple, yet captivating. We also noticed her creativity with the variety of poses and candid shots in her online portfolio. Not only is she fantastic at what she does, she so unbelievably kind and fun to work with! She makes you feel at ease behind the camera and that was so important to us! We would highly recommend Devyn to be your photographer for any special occasion!

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Nothing felt fake or too much. It was just love, plain and simple. The couple couldn’t stop smiling and neither could we. I cried more than I expected, haha. It was just so beautiful to watch.
