  • Florist

I began my floral journey in the early 90s in Des Moines, IA. While attending ISU as an art major, I found a program for floral design and fell in LOVE. The power of a 3 dimensional living medium completely captivated me and spoke to all of my creative senses! I was hired by a busy shop in downtown Des Moines located at the foot of the Capitol Building. Our location and clientele gave me plenty of exposure to upscale weddings and high end party design. With more than 25 years experience, I am passionate about setting the stage for your love story to be told. Let Design in Blooms bring your floral vision to life!

The quality of their floral work was outstanding. They were creative in bringing our vision to life, and their pricing was very competitive. Wendi took the time to get to know us and understand exactly what we wanted for our special day. She stayed within our budget and did excellent work, even traveling to our venue to set everything up, including hiking to a wooded area to beautifully decorate our ceremony altar. I would 100% recommend Design in Blooms to any couple planning their wedding.

Hello! My name is Brianna Staley, I am the owner/lead planner for Silver Sage Weddings. I was born and raised here in Arizona. I started this business because I wanted brides to be able to have fun planning their wedding.

She did a great job at making sure everything was the way it was supposed to be and if any issues came up she handled them well. She planned the bridal shower as well and did an amazing job with that. I told her the theme I was going for and how I wanted it to look and she took everything from there.

Cam and Larisa, LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Surprise, AZ
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

We are two high school sweethearts who fell in love with each other, got married, had kids and are living our best life! Our journey in professional photography began on our wedding day. We had a horrible experience with our photographer, but from that experience, we made it our mission to ensure that our clients have the best possible photography experience. As a husband and wife team, our passion for each other motivates us to capture the same passion of our clients while providing the best experience imaginable!

Wow, where do I begin with Cam & Larisa? They are hands down, the best photo/video duo. My review can simply end here. We got married in April 2023 in Sedona, AZ. Since we are from NJ, our correspondence with Cam & Larisa began via Instagram and continued through their website, email, and Zoom until our wedding day. They were so prepared with everything, including tons of stuff I didn’t think of throughout the process. They immediately understood the vision and took over the rest. I had no worries at all during the planning and wedding day and that’s greatly due to them. Cam & Larisa are truly, insanely, talented. I can’t stop looking at our photos and video and remembering these precious moments. They captured our love so beautifully. Larisa made sure to bring additional décor items that I forgot to get (i.e. “Bride” hanger, ring holder, etc.) and I really appreciated that attention to detail. She also ended up bustling my dress for me! THANK YOU! Cam’s sense of humor kept us laughing and smiling in every shot. As they are a married couple, it was beautiful to watch them work together and read each other with minimal communication. They just “get it”. Cam & Larisa sent us a lovely laser etched thumb drive with all our high res images and video (we purchased the 8 hour photo/video package and upgraded the movie to 10 minutes; received over 900 photos and a 10 minute movie). Honestly, we probably didn’t even need the thumb drive since all the content was available for download via their portal (which was soooo easy to use). They covered all the important parts of the days that I asked for, and then some. They also got specific shots I requested based on some Pinterest inspo I sent them in advance. We really can’t thank Cam & Larisa enough for being amazing people, professional, warm, down to earth, and spectacular photographer/videographer(s)!!

DJ MC Duke was an absolute hero for our wedding ceremony, cocktails, and reception! He did a great job onboarding us for the whole process and made us feel heard and appreciated before we even got to the wedding day! We ended up having several particular requests that include making cuts and edits of existing songs, and MC Duke had absolutely no issue working with us to make everything come together effortlessly. We also got to make our own playlist for pre-ceremony and cocktails! MC Duke even helped my best man drop a huge surprise audio track during his speech — a moment we will never forget. You’ll have a ton of flexibility with setlist options and the dance playlists are absolute bangers. Also definitely ask about his upgrades.

Hi, I'm Candace and I have a thing for weddings! I didn't start as a wedding photographer, I actually started as a BIRTH photographer surprisingly! I was addicted to capturing real and raw moments for families to have and relive over and over. I actually was nervous for weddings, which is why I didn't start doing them. One thing led to another and as people started asking me if I WOULD shoot their wedding, I decided to give it a try. Fast-forward to dozens and dozens of weddings later and I am obsessed!! I am a full fledged wedding photographer and I LOVE capturing every single moment of your day. The addiction is real!!

I can't even begin to tell you how amazing Candace is. She was the photographer for my stepsons wedding last year and did an amazing job. We got married this month and chose her as our photographer as well. She did not disappoint. My stepson and his wife are young and beautiful but we are much older (46-50). I was afraid of how the pictures would come out due to our age. She did amazing. Her editing is perfect and she captured so many "real" moments. We can't wait to see what she does with the rest of the pictures but here is how she did with some sneak peak ones she sent me. She was great to work with!

DJ Dana did our wedding on 8/31/24 and we highly recommend him! He took into account my wedding playlists, and knew when to play the right songs. It took a lot of stress out of our day. He was very early, and set up with plenty of time to spare. His speaker system and microphones for toasts worked great. He brought his own lights to add to the party and even added some to our sweetheart table to spice it up!

Starting at my trial, she made me so comfortable and even sent a prep sheet on how to best prep for this. She listened very intently to what I was saying I wanted and took the time to go through inspo photos I had saved to pick apart what I liked and disliked. After the trial, she was communicative leading up to the wedding day. On wedding day, she was very adaptable, as we had a small space to set up in and the room got very warm.

Your wedding photographer should be a perfect mix of a fly-on-the-wall and a director. Not someone who’s going to yell cut during your ceremony or give you exact directions on how to deliver your vows, but someone who will guide you on this super important day and deliver the photos you’ve been dreaming of. Whether it’s through my specific formulas for creating ideal timelines or managing your family for hassle-free group photos, you’ll experience this direction throughout wedding planning (Pre-Production), your wedding day (Principal Photography), and delivery (Post-Production).

Maya was my wedding photographer at my wedding in Flagstaff, AZ at Aldea Wedding in the Woods and she was PHENOMENAL. Her energy is out of this world & you cannot help but smile and laugh around her. She quickly feels like family. Not only does she have the most insanely wonderful personality that brightens the room but her photos she took are STUNNING! She really has such an eye for capturing the perfect moments and the quality and colors are just perfect. Myself, my now husband, and friends and family were just in awe when I showed them. I just got married two days ago and the day after my wedding she sent me sneak peek photos and there were SO many - I couldn’t believe how fast the turnaround was. And there’s more photos to come! Everything was just stunning I can’t rave about her enough. You need to hire Maya!!!! Also my friends and family couldn’t stop talking about how fun she was. We love you Maya you are amazing!!!

Owner Andrew Trego knows how vital a role a DJ plays in your once-in-a-lifetime celebration, and he is ready to make every moment sound amazing. An energetic performer with years of experience, he has the skills and equipment to keep your guests on the floor from the very first song.

Andrew was EVERYTHING he was recommended to be. He was the very first vendor we booked and it was the right choice and then some. He brought light and energy to each of the three spaces he moved around. All of guests the night of and since the wedding have said how fantastic our DJ was. Open dancing was everything I’d ever imagined it to be and we raged until the very end. Beyond the actual wedding day, he was so positive throughout the planning process and extremely organized (app was so easy to use). Truly no notes, brought the vibe, an amazing assistant, and is the real freakin’ deal.
