Trisha was an absolute delight to work with. After we got our engagement pictures back from our session with her, we knew we were in great hands. She was especially helpful on our wedding day keeping everyone on schedule to ensure we could get the pictures we wanted. The pictures turned out beautifully and we are so grateful that we chose Lucien to capture our special day. And as a bonus - we got our pictures back so quickly!

Photography is more than a career to me, it's my passion. I want to give you an inspired photographic experience. ‍ Your wedding images should tell your story, not mine or anyone else's. The images should evoke the raw and honest emotions of the love you share. Through my lens, I strive to faithfully translate the love and emotion you feel into timeless and genuine images, so five, ten, or fifty years from the future you can relive that day the same way you experienced it. The timeless photographs will become your treasured and preserved works of art, ready to be gathered together in an album or hung on your walls.

I am absolutely head over heels in love with the stunning photos that I had the privilege of shooting with Kenny. It’s abundantly clear that he possesses an extraordinary talent that truly sets him apart. Kenny’s ability to capture moments is nothing short of remarkable. Each photograph he takes is a work of art, a perfect blend of creativity and technical expertise. His keen eye for detail, coupled with an innate understanding of light, composition, and subject, consistently results in exceptional images. Working with Kenny was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and dedication to his craft were evident throughout the shoot. He created an atmosphere that allowed my personality to shine, resulting in photos that not only looked incredible but also felt authentic and true to who I am.

Ceri McCaffrey Photography

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

We were fortunate to find Ceri as a referral from another photographer and we cannot recommend Ceri's services enough. Not only are our photos incredible but she was kind, compassionate, and kept the day on schedule. My husband and I were worried about family photos since both of us have divorced parents but she has us make a list ahead of time and kept everyone happy and make photos go so fast. We love our photos and are so grateful to have them to treasure forever.

Cottage Grove, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

I believe every wedding deserves the absolute best, no matter what the budget. I am fortunate to have been able to work with some of the most wonderful and interesting couples over the 20 plus years that I have been photographing weddings. I am inspired by my couples, and always strive to grow and improve both as an artist and a human being-never stop learning and enjoying life to the fullest!

My wife, Kristin, and I initially had engagement photos taken in Denver, CO. When Kristin began looking for a wedding photographer, she scoured for the best in Minnesota. The Knot led us to Michelle Huber Photography and her portfolio was spectacular. Fortunately, Michelle was available for our wedding date because her schedule was rapidly filling up. Despite having a set of engagement photos already taken, we could not turn down an opportunity with Michelle. I want to stress that her photography skills and abilities are magnificent. During the engagement photo session, her personality elevated the entire experience. It was as if we were working with an old friend. Michelle kept the experience lighthearted, she was patient when bystanders meandered into the shot, and never once did we feel as if the session was awkward. Needless to say, after the engagement photo session, we were excited to see her on the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, Michelle and her husband, Trent, are consummate professionals. Trent stayed with my groomsmen and myself, while Michelle was with Kristin and her bridesmaids. While Michelle deserves all the praise that she is due, Trent is on an equal plane. He captured wonderful in-the-moment photos and deftly staged everybody when it was necessary. Never once did I feel like he was an intrusion or the experience was inorganic. When the time came from the first look, transition to the ceremony site, and our numerous stops, Michelle and Trent did not miss a beat. The sheer amount of wholesome candid photos demonstrate their professionalism. We are still surprised at the details that we missed when we were in the moment. We are fortunate that Michelle and Trent captured these moments for us. I must recognize Michelle and Trent's flexibility. I am of Chinese-descent and my parents wanted to perform a tea ceremony prior to the actual ceremony. Michelle and Trent graciously made adjustments and captured this important moment for our families to experience. My family is grateful for their willingness to memorialize a family custom that was not highlighted on our itinerary. Overall, our experience with Michelle Huber Photography is phenomenal. My brother-in-law was impressed with the level of professionalism, quality, and skill, so he booked Michelle and Trent as well. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to work with them again. After that, my best friend/groomsman, Brian, also took my recommendation and booked Michelle. Every time I worked with them, the experience continues to raise the level of expectation for other professionals. We pick back up on old conversations and check-in on life changes. I am highly confident that other Minnesota/Midwest-based photography services cannot match Michelle Huber Photography. If you, the purveyor of professional services, want the best, do not hesitate to contact Michelle Huber. All other offerings will only disappoint and you will lament over what could have been with Michelle Huber Photogrphy. At this point, I am running out of marriage-ready friends to recommend but I will continue to shout their praises.

Kerri is a delight to work with! She was professional and fun! Kerri really went above and beyond on our wedding day. She got to know our families well and kept track of all of the different groups. I would have not been able to get all of the different groupings of family photos if it wasn't for her organization. I was so thankful for that in the moment. She got all of the little details, made kids giggle and captured sweet tearful moments! The photos we have from our wedding are priceless and the quality is outstanding! We HIGHLY recommend Kerri Ann Photography.

Lakeville, MN

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Alli is a great photographer who is professional and provides great results! She is timely to respond and easy to work with and collaborated on our vision! We are so happy with how our photos turned out!

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to read my review. If you are anything like me you are skeptical and do not know where to begin when looking for a photographer. I found Kyle and Tracy (RKH) on Zola and proceeded to check every website I could for reviews. As such I am leaving a review on every site I can find them. I scrolled through hundreds and could find one short of 5 stars. Trust me when I tell you stop right here ALL, and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE I FOUND of the reviews were 5 stars and still FELL SHORT of how amazing and easy it was to work with them. If you don’t believe me yet I want to outline a few things about Kyle and Tracy. Our first time reaching out was via email and we received an almost immediate response which set us up with a phone call meeting. To be fair we set up 3 meetings with different photographers and Kyle and Tracy was our first call. Kyle is very experienced in shooting many different events including weddings. We enjoyed him thoroughly answering our questions and sharing experiences he has had. Outside of this he was genuinely interested in asking us about our story, where we met, how long we have been together etc. This was a tremendous surprise as we thought it would be straight business. When we hung up not only did, we already know they were the photographers we wanted to go with, it also felt like we made new friends. Over the next 5 months and several exchanges of emails and phone calls we were all set for our big day. If that wasn’t enough, they also took time aside to meet us in person as we were no longer local. On the wedding day! Kyle and Tracy showed up early and with plenty of energy. The teamwork we experienced on the phone was amplified in person and everything they prepared us for made the day that much more enjoyable. I want to skip over the experience of taking candid shots (their gallery speaks for itself) and talk about some of the special requests we made. Planning a wedding in Minnesota can be tricky with the weather so during planning we went over a few different scenarios. We started off wanting photos of the ceremony inside the church and a few outside of the reception venue, weather permitting we wanted a couple with a sunset. What we got were amazing photos of the ceremony, our wedding party, guests, large family photos, AND many many artistic shots. These include sunset and nighttime photos (Check out their gallery and Instagram). It wasn’t enough for them to take photographs for 9hours and go home. They made the experience so enjoyable for parents and bridal party members such that they went looking for Kyle and Tracy to say goodbye. Just before they left Tracy pulled me aside for just a moment to tell me to check my phone as she had already sent me a preview of 5 photos from the day. Seriously, when else do you get to leave your wedding with a preview in your pocket?!? What is a good review without covering the negative side? My only regret with hiring them is that even with all of the preparation and hard work they put in before the wedding is I didn’t bring enough to tip. We went around and asked a few people if they had cash so we could leave them as much as we could before they left. If you made it this far the next thing you should do is call them right away!

Dakota Layne Photography

Stillwater, MN
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,250

Photographing your intimate love story has evolved into an extension of who I am. As your photographer, my philosophy is centered around capturing the essence of the two of you as you truthfully are. My biggest goal is be a fly on the wall and let you genuinely enjoy every moment of your day without feeling like the main purpose is posing for the camera. Above all else, I seek to honor your individuality, the in-between, I want to be there through it all with you. Let me be the one to help harbour you're dearest memories of you and those you love.

Dakota is literally the most down to earth and easy going person. Working with her was a no brainer. She went above and beyond for our engagement shoot and even more for our wedding day! All our photos turned out amazing and she went along with all of our crazy ideas for photos! If you’re on the fence about hiring her, don’t be. She’s amazing and you won’t regret it! I will definitely using her again for future photo sessions!

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Authentic moments are what set our hearts on fire! We strive to capture you exactly as you are and bring out your personality. Think of us as your best friends that you haven't gotten to meet yet - we are known for dancing with our couples at receptions, snuggling babies to get a few solo pictures of the parents, and becoming lifelong friends with our seniors. We cannot wait to meet you!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: 15/10 -- She simplifies EVERYTHING about wedding planning AND takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She will be taking our pictures for the rest of our lives. They are incredible. Kyra from beginning to end made everything absolute perfection. The pictures, my sanity, basically everything. We brought her to Crozet, VA for our engagement photos and our big day. Pre-Engagement get to know you session: We face-timed for 2.5 hours (not required just happened naturally). She cares about everything and anything you want to share and supports your vision. Engagement Session: She took the time (right after having a baby nonetheless) to come to us and make sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Kyra got to know Dan (my husband) better and is the only person to this day that can make him smile naturally for pictures. Planning: Kyra provided anything and everything I needed or didn't know I needed. Refined/recommended timelines, pictures, hair styles, dresses, snacks for getting ready, laughter, you name it, she did it. If I had another vendor I needed a second opinion on, she reviewed their work. If I wasn't sure on chicken or crab cakes, she knew what would be a crowd pleaser. Basically she had wisdom and advice well beyond her years to accompany her incredible talent. Weekend of: Kyra and Heather came out early and scoped out the best locations for everything indoors and outside at the exact time the ceremony would be held to make sure the lighting was perfect. Day of: I would have fallen apart without her. Every picture she took was of real, candid, happy moments that my brain was too stressed to miss. When I ripped my dress, she and Heather whipped out sewing scissors to fix the problem. They kept the train moving and captured every moment beautifully. Best to have a photographer dancing with y'all to get the moment just right, and she does that. If I could give more stars I would.
