“How to start? Perhaps, offer a little praise for him? Andrew was incredible to work with. He & prayzHim Entertainment came highly recommended & were even better than advertised! It was so easy to work with him & develop a plan for our wedding reception experience. He provided a simple worksheet that broke down each type of moment/sub-event within the wedding reception & what type of music would be playing. On the night of, Trisha stepped in & held the reins. The ambience she created was perfect & led to a beautiful flow that really provided us with great peace in the evening. Their Christian values were very important to us as we included so many families in our special day & wanted a very wholesome experience! The evening was above & beyond our expectations playing popular music to dance to & celebrate with as well as helping us with table greetings, dinner dismissal, photo & video booths, & so much more. Highly recommend for ANY wedding reception, especially a Christian one!”

A unique photography and videography duo that just want to capture your best day ever. Based out of Iowa, Foxtail Films isn't afraid to travel! We have experience from California to Florida and just about everything in between.

“From the moment my husband and I got engaged, we knew we wanted to work with Val and Kevin. At the time, we were living in Arizona, so I called Val to ask if she’d be willing to travel there to capture our engagement photos. Without hesitation, she said yes—and she made it happen! Leading up to our wedding day, Val was incredibly easy to communicate with. She even reached out to our DJ to coordinate timelines, which lifted a huge weight off our shoulders. On the wedding day, Val and Kevin made everything run smoothly and efficiently, ensuring we got the perfect photos and video. We couldn’t be happier with how all of our engagement and wedding photos turned out. Our wedding video completely blew us away—it beautifully captured every moment from the start of the day through the reception. Being able to relive our day whenever we want brings back so many emotions and truly makes us feel like we’re there all over again. I’ve cried happy tears every time I’ve watched it. We can’t thank Val and Kevin enough for their amazing work in capturing our most special moments. We will cherish their work forever. We would highly recommend booking them for your big day too!”

The day-of team was amazing - set up, food service, breakdown and cleanup was done efficiently in the background. Cater2U2 served warm pretzels with cheese and pasta salad cup appetizers, and then a phenomenal dinner buffet with salad, corn, roasted carrots, fruit salad, roast beef and fried chicken. The staff helped buffet lines move smoothly and our entire guest list was served very quickly. For dessert, Cater2U2 provided a variety of pies and soft serve ice cream. They also provided bartending services. We’re a month out from our reception, and are still hearing great things about the food served from our guests. We 11/10 would recommend the food, staff and service at Cater2U2!!”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

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.

“Truly a white-glove service! We decided to use Press Record Co for our wedding after deciding against a traditional videographer, and looking back, it was one of the best decisions we made. What makes Press Record Co so special is that it allowed us to experience our wedding day through the eyes of our friends and family. The candid moments, genuine reactions, and little memories that might have otherwise gone unnoticed ended up being some of our favorite parts of the final video. When we received our edited film, we were blown away. It perfectly captured the joy, emotion, and energy of the day in a way that felt authentic to us. We've already watched it multiple times and know it will be something we treasure for years to come. If you're on the fence about hiring a videographer or looking for a more personal and affordable option, we can't recommend Press Record Co enough. The entire team was fantastic, and we're so grateful to have these memories preserved in such a unique way.”

With over a decade of experience in the wedding industry, and well over 150 weddings photographed, it still surprises me how my love for this industry grows each year. This work is not about me, it's about the individuals in front of my lens. I can’t tell an honest story if I’m constantly interfering, directing, and manipulating moments. I want your photos to render cherished memories from your day with your people, not memories of your photographer. I’m there to tell the beautiful and imperfect story as it unfolds.
