I've always been a creative at heart, my own mother is an artist so maybe it's genetic? However, photography was never on my radar.

After the debut of those beautiful, phone quality captures, the inquiries came rolling in! I was pleasantly surprised and within months decided it was only right to invest in proper gear. Officially established in 2021, I've been beyond blessed with the chance to meet so many wonderful people and capture their once in a lifetime moments! Anya Grace 🖤

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. I loved all of the candids taken of the guests which is something I wanted during the ceremony and reception. We were able to see parts of the night that we would have missed. The planning team was also great- Hannah was very helpful in giving me an example timeline ahead of our call. We’re so pleased with our choice to select OLAS!

You're not just hiring a photographer—you're gaining a creative partner who’s with you from “yes” to “I do.” I’m Pedro, Creative Director of Albany Capture, and for over 12 years I’ve been documenting love stories through a style that blends photojournalism with fine art.

We were so happy to have Pedro photograph our big day! He was professional, communicative, and did a great job making us, our wedding party, and guests feel comfortable in front of the camera. I had several guests ask if we had multiple photographers and were shocked to hear we just had one - Pedro was everywhere capturing the special moments of our wedding. We have also been so happy with the photos we've seen and can't wait for the rest. It ended up being very warm in Chicago on our wedding day. Even though we were so toasty and sweaty, Pedro's expert skills made us all look great! I would highly recommend him for your wedding photo needs.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Nauvoo, IL

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
We were on a strict budget for our wedding. I knew that florals would be the best way to save on some of the huge wedding costs. I found out about Flower Moxie from googling where I would get wholesale flowers. I was immediately hooked once I saw the flower options, tutorials, and worksheets to help plan out my special day. I am very big on organization, and this website had resources for every step of the way. I found the perfect combination of flowers for my boho wedding. I ordered the flowers about 2 months before our big day. It was a destination wedding, so I was checking into our airbnb on the day the flowers were arriving. I had them scheduled to be delivered at the Fedex holding center near by. I thought the company only used Fedex shipping based on my research. I went into full panic mode when I saw the flowers had been shipped by UPS. I immediately called UPS and Fedex, and to be honest I was stunned at the behavior on the other side of the phone. The flowers were still in transit, and no one would help me with rerouting. I called Flower Moxie to see if they could change things on their side as they were the sender. Luis answered the phone and it felt like I finally had someone looking out for me. I had already spent 4 hours on the phone with the shipping companies and gotten nowhere. Luis said he was on it and not to worry. I ordered enough flowers for 18 centerpieces, 70 bud vases, 8 bouquets, and 1 flower arch. Needless to say, it was quite the ordeal to reroute everything. Over the next 48 hours, Luis kept in constant contact with me about the progress of the shipment. I know I was on the phone for at least 6 hours with this ordeal, and I wouldn't be surprised if he had spent about 15 hours talking to UPS, Fedex, florists, and customs to get me my flowers. He made me feel calm and taken care of. Everyone was coming to me with questions and concerns the entire wedding week, and I can't express how it felt to have someone have my back, and take an extremely big tasks off my plate. I would absolutely recommend this company for DIY brides. And I hope this review is seen by Flower Moxie to highlight an outstanding employee with excellent customer service. In an age when it takes time and multiple attempts in order to talk to a person on the phone, I am so appreciative of the effort that was given by Luis for my wedding day. He made me feel like it was an important event for him too. Thank you Luis for making my wedding dreams come true! My sister also mentioned you in her MOH wedding speech. We were all impressed :)

The hair and makeup trial were meticulous, and Jenna addressed every comment I had so that on the big day, it was absolutely perfect. As a 53-year old “bride” renewing our wedding vows, I did not expect to look like a supermodel, but Jenna made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever dreamt possible. I included my daughter, nieces and close friends for hair and make up services and found Jenna and her team amazing in how they managed multiple needs for multiple individuals and kept us on schedule. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful from ages ranging from 16 to 55. I also opted for the bridal valet service, which I can’t recommend highly enough. With that service, Jenna stayed with me through the beginning of the reception to help straightening the train, holding flowers during pictures, touching up my make up, and overall keeping me calm, cool and collected.

Desiree and the team at Something Blue Planning Coordinating were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I am an event planner and very organized by nature, and I realized, just a couple of weeks into planning the wedding, that I needed someone else to be in charge of the day, or I would not enjoy my wedding if I had to be in charge of it. Our reception location and church had day of coordinators on hand to help but not someone to keep things moving, help create the schedule, deal with ALL the communication that goes on between vendors and all the little details you don't think about. Enter Desiree! Desiree was excellent from our first meeting a year out through follow-up a couple of days after the wedding. My husband, who had been along the line that "we could do it ourselves", walked away from our first meeting, saying he was so grateful to have Desiree and didn't realize everything that went into a wedding. Desiree’s communication was quick, easy, supportive, and to the point. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly top-notch - professional, creative, helpful, patient, and loving. She took the stress off the day and made it possible for me to enjoy the wedding with my husband, TRULY. She was the point of communication for everything that day and she helped me think through all the different processes and how to do things, was incredibly patient and supportive, and was there for us night and day. She ensured we all were doing well throughout the day and kept everyone aware of where they needed to be. I am so glad we hired them and would absolutely suggest you do the same!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!
