  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Merrill, IA

I am a loud, fun loving, creative power house! I have been doing this professionally since 2012, and although I am unsure of the exact number... I have shot hundreds of Weddings, Engagements, and Elopements! Anything you can dream up... I can make it happen! My style is mostly true to color, but I tend toward the darker side if the mood strikes right.

Moonlight Designs Photography by Sarah Stickney was a wonderful choice for our wedding photographer. Sarah's communication was very direct and clear, which we really appreciated during the planning process. The quality of her work and the beautiful photos she captured were truly fantastic - exactly what we had hoped for to preserve the memories of our special day. Sarah brought a fun and upbeat energy that contributed to making our wedding day even more special. She was awesome to work with, super accommodating, and a very talented photographer and nice person. We highly recommend Moonlight Designs Photography to any couple looking for great quality and beautiful wedding photos!

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Awarded Best of Zola
Something Borrowed Blooms provided the most lifelike and luxurious floral arrangements for our wedding day. The bouquets, ceremony pieces and boutonnieres were all incredibly realistic and high quality, with vibrant colors and lush textures that exceeded our expectations. In fact, as my husband and I were taking photos in a park, a bee even tried to pollinate my bouquet, drawn to its beauty and realism. Getting the boxes to the venue did require a bit of coordination, but with a little help from friends we were able to easily box them up the day after the wedding and ship them off via FedEx. We saved easily 2,000 thanks to Something Borrowed and you would never know the flowers were fake.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers 

4.9

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Merrill, IA

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 - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers provided an outstanding, ongoing, easy, and reliable experience for our wedding. Their communication was transparent, and they clearly cared about ensuring the success of our DIY floral arrangements. The flowers arrived on time, and the step-by-step email directions and tutorials made the preparation process a breeze. I had no casualties, and the flowers turned out beautifully - I was preparing for a 5% loss but everything worked perfectly! I highly recommend Flower Moxie for couples looking for a hassle-free, high-quality DIY **note dahlias in photos are from a local farm

Jen is incredible and worth every penny! My husband and I weren't very sure about how we wanted our wedding florals to look. We also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would only last a day. We stumbled upon wood flowers and discovered Wood and Word Blooms! Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

We had a great experience with Mae! She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole shoot and made sure we got a bunch of great photos in some gorgeous locations. Post-shoot she put in so much effort editing our photos to make sure they were perfect once they were turned around to us which didn't take long at all. Highly highly recommend Mae for any photoshoot needs you might have!

Hi, I’m Heather! (that's me on the left) I'm a wedding photographer with a deep passion for capturing the genuine moments and raw emotions that make each wedding day so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling through photography, and over the years, I’ve developed a style that combines artistry with authenticity. My goal is to not just take pictures, but to tell the unique love story of each couple I work with, from the grand moments to the quiet, intimate details. My husband is a wedding videographer. So, if you are also looking for video, look no further!

From the moment we first contacted HEARTS in FOCUS, their communication was stellar. They responded to our initial inquiry within a day and were very attentive throughout the planning process, answering all of our questions quickly. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were professional, discreet, and captured every moment beautifully. The final photos were delivered just a few weeks later and the quality is truly outstanding - we're thrilled with how they turned out. HEARTS in FOCUS provided exceptional value and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for talented, reliable wedding photographers.

Omar did a wonderful job for our wedding. He was super communicative, detailed, and respectful. Our day had some last minute hiccups and he was able to accommodate us without any issue. I can’t say enough good things about Omar. All of our guests had a BLAST! Absolutely amazing job!
