  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,800

I’m a central Iowa based wedding and portrait photographer on a mission to capture joyful personalities and the moments where you can’t stop smiling. I love rural Iowa, dessert for breakfast, outdoor adventures, and I’m a total homebody. My approach to photography is simple. I strive to create memories that are true to life. If you’re looking for authenticity with a dash of small town USA, I think we’re going to be great friends.

As a fellow vendor working beside Katie (me on video, her on photo) on someone's big day, she is all you could ask for when working in conjunction with someone on a wedding day. She was friendly and completely respectful of the work I needed to do, even though we had to work at the same time and in the same spaces. She was open to communicating about our needs and overall contributed positivity to the process. Photo and Video do not always team up effortlessly and thankfully Katie made it easy to do so! As someone who got to watch Katie at work, she really made an effort to make sure her shots were going to be beautiful (moving things around, finding the right lighting, etc). She was also so supportive and really hyped the couple up throughout the whole day, not only making them comfortable, but confident. I 100% enjoyed working with Katie and hope to do so again!

FêteFone / The Original Audio Guest Book

  • Event extras
  • Guest book alternatives
  • Starts at $149
  • Serves Riverside, IA

FêteFone® is a modern twist on the traditional guest book—where guests talk instead of write. Using a stylish vintage phone, your loved ones can leave heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable voice messages that capture the true spirit of your celebration. Your big day goes by in a flash, but with FêteFone, you’ll have the voices, laughter, and love preserved forever. Imagine hearing your grandmother’s kind words, your best friend's inside jokes, or the excitement in your guests’ voices—all at the lift of a receiver. FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were initially drawn to FêteFone because it was such a fun and different idea—but I had no idea just how meaningful it would become. Hearing our grandparents’ voices, our best friends cracking up, and even the sweet slurred messages from our dance floor crew—it all made us laugh and cry in the best way. The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy. It’s not just a guest book—it’s a time capsule of love. I can’t recommend it enough.

  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Riverside, IA

The goal is simple, that you fully live and enjoy your day. My approach is built on kindness, fun, and caffeine. My style is documentary first, complimented with editorial portraits. Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting yet unforgettable moments. All you need to do is be fully present and celebrate with all of your people in one place. I want all the authentic, unfiltered excitement. I want you to be free to dance in the rain, to jump in the pool, and to embrace the imperfect. Most importantly, I want for you the immeasurable joy of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re looking for a photographer for your big day, look no further because Derrick is the absolute best! He captured every moment and emotion of our wedding at the Farmhouse in Plainfield so beautifully. Looking at these photos I’m instantly taken back to that moment and how I felt. Derrick was so organized, helpful, and kind throughout the whole process from planning to the wedding itself. His efficiency and professionalism on the wedding day allowed me to be in the moment and enjoy every little part of our day because I knew we were in great hands. He truly is just so talented and a pleasure to work with. Seriously, look no further, you’ve found the best! Oh and let’s take a moment to appreciate how well he photographed our dogs too! Thank you so much again for everything Derrick! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos

Howdy! I’m Aubriana, a photographer passionate about capturing life and love in their most genuine moments. My journey with photography began over a decade ago in high school and has since grown into a heartfelt career. Inspired by my time in Iowa and the beauty of Milkweed fields, my business name reflects my love for fleeting, magical moments—just like the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year. I believe every love story is unique and deserves to be documented with care, warmth, and authenticity. I’d be honored to capture yours!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Jonah Lorsung 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Riverside, IA

Hi friends! My name is Jonah Lorsung and I'm a filmmaker, writer, and photographer born in the Midwest. Most of my free time is spent enjoying concerts, cruising the coast in my Japanese van, or getting lost in a new hobby (right now that's "de-Googling" my life). I'm currently based in Portland, OR and available for travel anywhere my camera may take me, continuing my pursuit of stories that pique my interest. Mostly love, good light, and the small moments that make life worth living.

I first saw Jonah’s work on instagram (he’s worked with my photographer and they make an amazing team!) and decided that if I did have a videographer, Jonah would be it. Jonah has an amazing eye for understated moments, and edits those moments together into a cinematic and emotionally charged film. Jonah was easy to communicate with, easy to plan with, and was a joy to have around on the day of our wedding. In addition to our long film and social media cut, Jonah also was able to give us our raw footage (we requested this, definitely ask if you want it but don’t expect it from a vendor!), which really highlighted to me how involved Jonah was throughout the day. Jonah’s work is the perfect combination of a fly on the wall and a friend on the dance floor. But my favorite part about Jonah’s work is that every film he makes is different and unique to that wedding. There is no stock image or typical layout, they’re all an individual reflection of that day. I could not recommend Jonah enough as a videographer. I’m so glad to have worked with him for our wedding, and to have supported a wonderful and talented person. The photos I’ve included are screenshots from our wedding film and may not reflect the quality of image, but do reflect the artistic quality of Jonah’s films!

Colorful Day Dreams is truly a dream come true! Abby was the absolute best wedding painter we could’ve asked for. From the moment we got engaged, I knew I needed her and her incredible talent to be part of our day. Her work genuinely leaves me speechless — she’s so talented, unbelievably kind, and one of the most hardworking women I’ve ever met. We will cherish the paintings she created for us forever. She made our wedding feel like the fairytale it was, and every time we look at her art, we’re transported right back to that magical moment. I’m so thankful for Abby and everything she’s done for us. If you’re considering a live wedding painter, don’t wait — Abby is the one to book. You won’t find anyone more gifted or genuine.

Once Upon a Blossom creates luxury artificial flower walls and arches designed for weddings, events, and unforgettable moments. Each piece is handcrafted with premium silk blooms, built for effortless setup, and made to last. Based in New York and shipped across the U.S., Canada, and U.K.

I run a photobooth business in New York and I’ve gone through a lot of backdrops over the years. Some are fine, most just didn’t look that vivid or high quality. This flower wall totally exceeded my expectations. I got the white one and used it at a wedding recently. my guests loved it! People kept lining up to take pics in front of it, and honestly, it looked great in every single shot. Super full, no weird plasticky shine like a lot of the cheaper ones out there. Setup was quick too, which I really appreciated. You can tell the quality’s there. Definitely planning to use it again and order a new color for future events.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

People love stories. They love hearing them, seeing them, retelling them. And when they want to immerse themselves in a good one, they most commonly turn to video. Since 2009, we've helped over 150 couples remember the story of their wedding day. And as a husband and wife team, we have a pretty good idea of what you'll want to look back on and see in yours. But, because this is your day and your film, we truly want to know what you want. That's why, we'll start by getting to know you and what big and small events, family and friends, and personal details mean the most to you. The end result: A wedding film that helps you relive your day.

We cannot say enough great things about Amy & Adam Hamilton! From start to finish, they were an absolute joy to work with—always organized, responsive, and on top of every detail.

I’m Alyssa. You can call me Lys. (It rhymes with Kiss) ☺ I'm a photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel often. Couples, elopements, and small weddings are my speciality. My style leans documentary, timeless, and sincere, with some avant-garde editorial vibes, artsy influences, and good old fashioned weirdness mixed in. I love color, flash, film, and all things non-traditional. I got my start in music photography, which greatly informs my shooting style, and have been documenting Iowa's music scene and touring with bands for over 10 years!

I'm a micro-wedding venue owner and I recently hosted a gorgeous LGBTQ+ styled shoot. From beginning to end Alyssa was a pleasure to work with. She initiated correspondence - including overall vision, clear expectation, and a comprehensive schedule for all vendors. Her ability to pull a vision together and pay attention to detail are equally strong. She had the ability to manage a project while simultaneously making all vendors and models feel comfortable. She excels at bringing out the most of her models & left the venue in great condition. I will not hesitate to work with Alyssa again - She's an absolute pleasure!

Amber was spectacular, hands down. We hired her for her planning services as well as day of coordination. Our wedding was DIY in many regards. We met frequently throughout the year leading up to our wedding and she made sure nothing was forgotten. She introduced us to our bartender and the person who we rented sound equipment as well as her assistant Allison, all of whom were excellent. She worked well with our family members who were also involved in planning. Our rehearsal the night before the wedding itself went off without a single hitch. She truly seemed to care about us and our day. I’d recommend her a hundred times over to anyone!

Hello my name is Veronica owner/photographer of Veronica Anne Photography and Photography is my passion! I love photographing weddings, getting to meet new people and hearing every love story. I want my couple to have the best wedding day ever and feel 100% confident that I will deliver a product that will have them reliving their special day over and over again every time they look at their wedding gallery.

We both loved working with Veronica Ann Photography! She put us at ease right away with her friendly personality and she did a terrific job! Love our wedding photos, especially the ones we were able to do at our grandmothers nursing home, for she passed away a month later. Beautiful photos to be treasured!
