Hi, I’m Jayme — the heart behind Storyteller Collective Photo Co. Based in Iowa, I specialize in candid, nostalgic photography that feels true-to-you. From weddings and elopements to portraits and boudoir, I focus on authentic moments, real emotions, and the little details that tell your story.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Storyteller Collective as a second photographer (wedding), and she is so relaxed and also efficient. She works with a sense of urgency but doesn't rush her clients. She knows her stuff when it comes to weddings and knows exactly how to arrange the day so that it serves her client. She's also very, very good at adapting when things change (like when it rains on an outdoor ceremony) and reassuring her clients that we've still got it covered. She is a really good person who is fun to work with. She produces high quality work on the regular and her work is so beautiful!

It was beautiful and the best venue we could’ve found!! The people were amazing and super helpful. The only problem was that we had people coming into the church touring it while we were getting stuff ready so having a sign for guests to know that a wedding is going and maybe close the wedding areas off since we are paying for that time would be nice :) Everything and everyone else was perfect

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. My approach to photography is simple - I strive to capture your memories in a way that is true to life and authentic. If you're looking for a photographer who values true connections and brings a sense of ease to your photographic experience, you're in the right place.

Choosing Katie was one of the easiest and best decisions we made for our wedding. Two of my family members had already worked with her, so we knew we were in good hands, but she still exceeded every expectation. Her communication was always timely, she was incredibly easy to work with, and every second shooter she partners with is just as wonderful and professional. She made such an important part of our day feel effortless. I would book her again and again without hesitation. And, just in our previews we already know we have beautiful pictures to always remember the day.

  • Serves Elberon, IA

With a background in experience design (and a long history of trying every art form under the sun), I started Vow Variety to help people create standout moments — not just beautiful ones, but personal, playful, and worth remembering. So many events rely on familiar traditions or one-size-fits-all touches. I wanted to offer something that felt truly custom — something that reflects how fun and unique the people being celebrated really are.

Vow Variety was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Jessie's communication style was organized, friendly, and fun. It was so awesome to be able to have someone collaborate with us for our day who was so creative, talented, and thoughtful. Jessie went above and beyond to contribute to our special day - editing a beautiful video from our camcorder rental and making the coolest custom stickers for the vending machine at our reception. The final products were incredible and exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful for Vow Variety's professionalism and attention to detail. They truly helped make our wedding day one-of-a-kind and memorable.

  • Serves Elberon, IA

Hi there! My name is Janae Erickson, I’m the owner and founder of Janae + Co Productions. I have carefully selected a team to help me accomplish the truly beautiful work that we produce. My favorite thing about my job is capturing special moments that won't ever happen again. It's such an amazing feeling every time I look back at everything I captured & how beautiful it turns out. I'm constantly learning & improving and it is so so so rewarding.

“We were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding. Weddings are expensive, and at first it seemed like another huge expense we could live without. Due to COVID, there were a few people who were not able to attend our wedding, so we decided to go for it to share it with them. After seeing our final highlight video, I am absolutely blown away. These ladies are so talented, easy to work with, and exceeded my expectations ten-fold. Reliving your day in video- seeing the smiles, hearing the words, is just something so special. Don’t second guess it- get the videographer. You will not regret it! I would recommend this team again and again!.”

On the day of our wedding, the team showed up ready to help with the small details that made a real difference in how smoothly everything ran. The buffet they set up was absolutely stunning and our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was. You can tell they care about getting things right, from the setup to the final plate served.

We used Something Borrowed Blooms for our night before party/Sri Lankan ceremony and I couldn't be more happy. The set-up, breakdown, and return was easy enough and our guests had no idea the flowers were artificial! We were able to save money but still had stunning flowers for the ceremony and reception. I'll now always recommend SBB, especially for brides who are trying to stay in-budget and still want to have full-service florals.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Elberon, 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.

Flower Moxie - Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers provided an exceptional experience for our wedding.

We are thrilled with the value and quality of Flower Moxie's work, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
