Hi, I’m Milly. If you’re looking for a photographer to personalize your entire photography experience, you’ve found her. I specialize in photographing intimate weddings (less than 50 guests) and elopements. Let’s create moody, storybook photos that feel like YOUR LOVE— not a knockoff version of what anyone else is doing. I want you to have the engagement and wedding season you deserve.

Awarded Best of Zola
Milly was truly an AMAZING photographer. We used her services for our engagement photos and wedding. We are not folks normally comfortable posing for photos and she really listened to what we wanted (and didn’t want) and took time to understand what we were imagining. Our photos are artistic and beautiful and really capture „us“. We will actually want to display this snapshot of our amazing day!! Of course, she also nailed the classic family photos for my mom. If you are looking for someone to support you on your slightly (or very) unconventional wedding day, Milly is your person!

Tallulahmade is where my healing and my art meet. I am a combat veteran who turned creativity into a path back to myself, and now I photograph others with that same intention. Born in New York and raised in Tennessee, I blend true to color imagery with emotional editorial storytelling. As an experienced wedding photographer, I connect deeply, guide with care, and capture real moments that feel warm, honest, and true to your story. I love the emotion that color carries and how it shapes the mood of every image. My goal is to create timeless photographs that honor who you are and the story you are living. I believe memories deserve intention.

From our first conversation, the team at Tallulahmade put us at ease with their comfortable communication style and good energy. They were excellent at providing clear direction during our photo session, which helped us feel confident and natural in front of the camera. The resulting photos are simply stunning - the lighting is amazing and truly captures all the special moments. I couldn't be happier with the value and quality of Tallulahmade's work, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional photography experience.

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Florist
  • Starts at $350
  • Serves Athens, AL

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.

The BEST most nerve wracking decision we made for our big day!!! I was so nervous to go this route but trusted my gut and I’m so glad I did. FM was incredible at walking me through the process and the full service package is worth WAY more than what you pay for it. I felt incredibly prepared for flower arrival from all the phone calls, videos, and paperwork they sent including detailed recipes and schedule for the week. We had some hiccups with Hurricanes and delayed shipping. They called me to initially tell me they would be a day early. Then when they didn’t arrive called again and explained they’d been held up in customs(obviously no ones fault). They then sent out an entire extra box of blooms to be sure we got everything we needed. Flowers were beautiful!!! Spending time with my sisters and family putting them together was truly the most fun wedding prep. My guests and coordinator truly couldn’t believe we had done all our own flowers, and the best part??! We saved ourselves literally thousands!! We would recommend FM to anyone for any occasion anytime.

He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding.

Working with her and her fiance felt like we had all been friends already, we just clicked (haha). Side note: we got to help out two poor little stray kittens with them, so animal lovers always a plus in my book! I am madly in LOVE with the photos she took, they are absolutely perfect!!!! She was able to capture our dream come true and so much more!!! They are so beautiful!!! She was even able to finish the editing earlier then planned. I already talked it over with my husband, and we plan on hiring her again in the future! A five star rating does not do her justice, she was hands down the best!!!
