Kendra is so unbelievably talented, and was also such a dream to be around. She was somehow right where we wanted her to be while also keeping out of site. She danced with us, and engaged with the party in a truly incredible way. Our photos came out PERFECT. My husband and I are a bit shy in front of the camera (and so are our families) and she took such good care of us and got really beautiful natural shots. I don’t have enough good things to say about Kendra. It can be rare to find someone so talented who is also such a joy and pleasure to be around. I have already recommended her to my own sister and friends that are getting married as well! Highly highly recommend!!

KNZ Photography

Saint Paul, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,333
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you are the brave and courageous people who are willing to step in front of my camera and be honestly you, and who desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

Definitely get the photography/videography wedding package w/ KNZ Photography. McKenzie, Austin, and team were so much fun to work with and knew how to direct all of the various personalities of our 16 person wedding party (not an easy task!). Her creativity in using the venue's elements, organization to keeping the day on track, and warm personality made my wedding day even more special. I enjoyed working with her every step of the way and you will too!

Sarah Yates Photo

Orange, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

I'll keep this short and sweet because truly, it's not about me. I'm here to get to know you and understand you. I'm a mom to my sweet baby boy, a wife to my college sweetheart, and my passion for my work comes from one place — getting to know you, understand you, and photograph your love with integrity.

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah and her team!! She did our engagement photos and our wedding day photography, and I truly believe both experiences would not have been the same without her. During our engagement photos, she had such a calming presence that made us feel so comfortable. She really got to know us, as people and friends, which helped us relax in front of the camera! So then, on our wedding day, when she came through the door of the bridal suite, I instantly relaxed. One thing that I had talked with her about beforehand was capturing not just wedding portraits, but pictures that we could look back on and remember the feeling of that day… And boy did she and her team deliver! Every time I look at our wedding photos, I remember the joy and love that was surrounding us on that day and I can’t thank her enough for that! All that PLUS, she has the most beautiful editing of any photographer I’ve seen out there AND got our photos back to us quicker than I ever expected! 100000/10 recommend Sarah Yates Photography!!

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.

Nicole is FANTASTIC! Our wedding was simple and laid back and she went with the flow with us, made us feel comfortable and have a lot of fun in the process. The pictures came out amazing. She made the whole experience great from start to finish. Would recommend her and for use her again for any photo needs in the future.

Kyra and Heather went above and beyond for out special day. From helping me bustle my dress when no one could, to having a toothbrush and tooth paste for a member of the wedding party who forgot to brush their teeth... LOL I come from a very blended family and they made it so easy and comfortable arranging everyone for family formals. (I received lots of compliments from family about this as well) I would recommend Kyra and her team for any type of photography, not just wedding.

  • Starts at $2,495
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

Are you frustrated with combing through page after page of the same old cliche'd wedding photos? Looking for something classic and timeless but with a bit of an edge? We got you. I've been creating wedding day memories for over a decade now. New Orleans. Chicago. Minneapolis. The PNW. NYC. We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

Awarded Best of Zola
I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Burlington, IA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

I have 12 years of photography experience, 6 years in the industry and have shot more than 180 weddings. Safe to say, this IS my passion. Couples and wedding photography can be SO stressful--the pressure to look and be a certain way or follow trends is INTENSE. Wedding stress is real and I am anti it all the way. For my couples, they're job is just to show up and have fun. I will do ALL the rest!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't even know where to begin with writing this. Melissa is phenomenal. Full stop. The first time we met her we knew we wanted her to capture our wedding photos. She was so friendly, approachable, and professional. We wanted our photos to capture our personalities, and we knew Melissa could do that. We also knew we could trust her fully to take great photos so that we could relax and enjoy our day. On our wedding day, she made the whole process so seamless, and we really were able to relax and enjoy the day. It was the best. The photos Melissa captured from our wedding day are something we will treasure forever. When the first few showed up online the day after our wedding, our whole family gasped, and there were quite a few tears. The photos are literally perfect. Absolutely better than anything I could have imagined or wanted, and each one feels so unique. When we look at them, it's like we are right back at OUR wedding day, not just any wedding day. There are two more things I have to mention here. 1) Our engagement session was amazing. Melissa spent the day with us up in Madison (where we live) and absolutely captured us and our favorite places in such a heartfelt way. She also made that day so FUN. I was certainly nervous about being photographed so much, but after awhile, it felt like it was just Simon and I there, having fun, together. The photos are a true reflection of that. 2) We had to reschedule our original wedding due to the pandemic. Melissa was super understanding and made our new date work for us. Overall, Melissa is an artist. She is someone I would trust completely again and again to capture the most important moments in my life and the lives of those I love. Thank you!!

Louisville, KY

I am a travel photographer based out of Louisville, Kentucky. I have always been the friend with the camera admiring those around me. I am truly captivated by people simply being people, always finding beauty in human connections and the REAL. My goal is to be a calming presence, help the day run smooth, and ensure everyone in front of the camera feels COMFORTABLE. I lean toward documentary style photography emphasizing what makes your love unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlyn was an incredible photographer to work with! We did 2 engagement photoshoot sessions with her, which were both so fun!! My husband was dreading the photography most, out of all parts of “wedding planning.” But Kaitlyn was able to make him feel relaxed and comfortable so that he actually enjoyed himself! And he actually loves the way he looks in the photos! (He usually hates having his photo taken and the way he photographs.) Kaitlyn was able to capture our silliness, laughter, and genuine happiness in the candid photos which is exactly the look and feel I was hoping for in our photos! (I’m personally not a fan of the stiff posed or moody photos.) Our second engagement shoot also included our dog, which was fantastic! Not only was Kaitlyn great to work with on wedding day and the 2 engagement shoots, she was also a great resource for planning the logistics and timeline of the wedding day. She had great input of the flow of the entire day, which was something I had completely overlooked. Most importantly, Kaitlyn was very professional the entire time. We also gave Kaitlyn the added task of photographing the flower girl nieces (ages 2 & 7 years) and the ring bearer nephew (age 5) who is on the Autism Spectrum. All 3 kiddos still talk months later about how they had so much fun at the wedding! And Kaitlyn was able to capture them all smiling! Photographing dogs and kids is always difficult to ask for, but the photos of our smiling nephew on our wedding day made the parents and grandparents cry tears of joy! It’s rare to catch this kid smiling! We loved working with Kaitlyn, and we can’t wait to do more photoshoots together in the future!

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

The BEST DAY OF YOUR Life! Your wedding day is so special; you might never have all the people that you love all together ever again. The day goes by so quickly that you don’t get to appreciate all the precious details you spent months planning. My goal as your photographer is to preserve the memories and details of your special day so you can re-live and share them for generations to come.

It was absolutely great to work with Mercy! The day had a lot of curveballs in it, meaning a lot didn’t go as planned. Mercy didn’t panic, and was the calm in the storm. She’s so much more than a talented photographer! She’s a leader, server, great communicator and team player. I wouldn’t hesitate to work side by side with her again!!!

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

I had the opportunity to work with Lindsay Miller Photography at an October 2020 wedding. She was the photographer and I was the videographer. She is so wonderful and let me surprise our couple with an even more special full length video - one that showed the whole day through Lindsay's beautiful photos!!  Since I only shot the ceremony, I'm so ecstatic that she was kind enough to team up on the full length video so the couple could watch their entire day, including the parts I wasn't there to video. Her work took that video to the next level and I'm so happy to have gotten the chance to showcase her fantastic work. She was a dream to communicate with, replied in a timely manner, and is such an easy going person to work with. She truly is a dream photographer!

Professional third wheel, people lover, incredibly loud singer, and consumer of too much popcorn and candy, in that combo. I'll sing & dance to just about any song, have approximately 12 shades of lipstick in my purse at a time, and take pride in drinking over a gallon of water a day… lol #hydrated. I’m obsessed with dogs and love booping their noses. Very blessed to have been running this business since I was 14 years old, and eagerly got my videographer husband, Scott on board once we got married in May 2018. Since then we've added 7 amazing associates to our team and are proud to serve clients well no matter what their day looks like.

We had such a wonderful experience working with Kiley on our wedding day! She made everyone feel comfortable throughout the day and kept things running smoothly. And we could not be happier with the finished product! She perfectly captured all the beautiful emotions of our wedding day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer - she will exceed your expectations in every way!

Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Being a Photographer myself, "who is your wedding photographer?" was the biggest question of my wedding planning. Covid-19 had rerouted our wedding, so we ended up doing a small wedding in Elmhurst, IL. She was so professional, sent out a questionnaire prior to make sure she got all the shots we wanted, and did a video consultation to make sure she had all the details. She arrived early to get her bearings and I made a detail box all together to help her with everything to start while I got ready. She got the details perfectly, captured all the perfect moments, and dealt with our craziness of family photos. I trusted her fully and she did amazing. She had preview photos up within the next day, and the blog up by the Monday following the wedding. She was super flexible and amazing to work with! Thanks Winterlyn! Monica & Drew

Or capturing the excitement that comes from saying ‘yes’ to forever with your best friend. I’m empowered by the couples who are passionate about life but don’t take it too seriously. The ones who crave adventure and aren’t afraid to blaze their own trail. Who value connection and intentional conversation while making the time and space in their relationship to grow in love and as individuals.

Emily - and her husband, Dan - are an absolute joy to work! They put as much effort into trying to be helpful, and to be a friend to you, as they do into getting incredible photos.

I never saw myself having a wedding. Never imagined the venue, the flowers, or the centerpieces. Never had any ideas about what my hair would look like or the dress I would wear. One night I was sitting with my mom and she said “I see you getting married on a beach somewhere, with just a few friends. Then afterwards we have a bonfire and music, and we laugh all night.” It’s like she was living in my brain- that felt so right to me- and I had never seen a wedding like that. I didn’t know that kind of thing was allowed? From then on that’s the only way I’ve pictured my wedding to be one day. That’s what I want to help my couples find.

Awarded Best of Zola
the best thing you can do as a newly wed is make sure you have the right man and more importantly the right photographer lol jk but seriously :). ‘happy’ doesn’t begin to describe the intense emotions you have on your wedding day and ‘happy’ is an understatement compared to what i felt when i got the photos back from lily. she’s an artist & an artist needs space and time to work. we just let her do her thang and my wedding photos literally came out magazine worthy. the one thing I tell everyone who has seen our photos is it was captured the way i remember it. her photos are influenced by all the emotion and aura throughout your day. she captured my Caribbean dream better than anyone else could.

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey is a great photographer that's easy to work with and helps you feel really comfortable with the process.

Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

I love capturing the moments that aren't posed or planned but that are special and YOU. I want you to be able to FEEL something when you look at my images. Your special day is unique and should be captured in a way that makes you remember every little moment as it was.

Macie created beautiful photos of our wedding day! She listened to all my style notes, and made sure she didn’t miss any of the important moments. Macie is so quick with her “sneak peeks” and everyone has loved the photos! I really appreciate her warm style of photography, and she truly doesn’t miss a moment. Thank you Macie!

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Colby delivers the best possible product in the field. The lighting, composition and quality of his photos are unmatched. But he doesn't stop there... The communication from the booking date, lead up to shoot, and execution on the day is what makes Colby Campbell Photography an immersive experience that is unmatched.

As both a photographer and writer, I've found my niche focusing on the bits that make up each love story and wedding day. The quiet moments, the fierce ones, the happy and nostalgic ones. While I make sure clients get all the shots they need, my focus is to simply capture the day as it happens, documenting the moments that will fade from memory as time goes by. My style has a modern twist on classic photojournalistic-style—true to life color with a bit of mood, at times sharp and others soft, with creative composition and approach.

Zoe did an amazing job with our wedding photos. She was super easy to work with and did a great job capturing genuine moments of our big day. 10/10 would recommend!

This is why I love serving Clients who are a little nervous about being in front of the camera but who are also the most selfless, warmest people with the cutest laughs I’ve ever met.

We have known Lauren for awhile and love her work so it was a lot fun getting to work together and seeing her creative process. Lauren has incredible talent for styling, directing, and posing couples, as well as capturing wedding details.

We couldn't be happier with our photos from Bethany! Not only did she bring wonderful energy to our day, but she managed to get every photo we hoped for on our list and more. On a day that could have been stressful and overwhelming, Bethany was a positive and focused presence, and made all of our family and friends super comfortable. We knew we loved Bethany's Kodak-inspired aesthetic, and were so excited when we got our gallery full of timeless, romantic, and beautiful photos. She also turned around a mini gallery for us right away, so we could share highlights with those who couldn't be there on the day. We recommend Bethany to all the engaged couples we know, because she's not only a talented photographer, but someone who really cares about capturing the memories of your special day.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

My interest in photography began in high school (over ten years ago!) when friends would model for me in the field across the street from my house.

I'm comfortable in any situation, especially when I'm working with fun couples who are up for an adventure. My goal is to fit seamlessly into your day; I capture your story through photographs without being too distracting or intrusive.

I landed my first wedding in Seattle in 1999 somewhat by accident. After a couple loved the portraits I made for them, they asked if I would shoot their wedding. I said yes, but was secretly terrified. Fortunately, my naivety was inadvertently a bonus because I photographed that wedding the same way I photographed news stories: as discreetly as possible and recognizing key moments at the speed they are happening rather than directing the action or creating artificial scenarios. I don't have the preconceived notions of an advertising photographer. I am just as excited to see the final images as you are!

We worked with Bradley in 2017 for our wedding, he is so personable and makes you feel comfortable. He captured images that we will cherish forever and bring back the emotion of the day. They are truly stunning! We are so grateful to have these memories and to have worked with Bradley. Thank you again!

Hi there! My name is Sarah and I am a wedding, engagement, & portrait photographer based in the twin cities area. Currently redoing my little 1950's rambler with my husband on the side when we get free time! I absolutely love capturing all of the love, joy, emotion, and memories on your wedding day. It brings me so much joy to be able to be there leading up to your wedding day & on your wedding day capturing it all and celebrating along your side! I want to make the day the most stress free, fun, and uplifting as I can. It is an absolute honor to be able to celebrate and capture all of your love from start to finish!

Sarah photographed our elopement ceremony in Duluth, Minnesota and it was the best decision we made on our wedding day. She is incredibly talented with a great eye for photography. She's kind, attentive, and cares so deeply for her couples. We love our wedding gallery so much and we'll cherish her photos forever!

Hi there- I'm Jessie. A midwest woman on a mission to celebrate and document couples from all over the country as they say “I do” in some of the most incredible nooks, crannies, peaks, valleys, and lakes this world has to offer. I fell head over hiking boots for elopements while traveling with my hubby and our baby in our Airstream. While on our own adventure, we kept stumbling upon wild weddings—deep in the forests, teetering at the tallest points, and every last jaw-dropping location you can imagine. Not just the adventure—but the entire experience of creating a space couples felt seen, heard, valued, loved, and celebrated in.

My husband and I exclusively use Jessie as our photographer for all our biggest milestones. Her talent shines in her photographs. I can’t recommend her enough for her talent, personality and professionalism. We are using her for our maternity photos and she never fails to go above and beyond to capture our vision so I am beyond excited!

Hi, I'm Jenna! I'm a destination wedding and elopement photographer living in Madison, Wisconsin. My approach is artistic and documentary, focusing on candid moments and real emotion which results in non-traditional wedding photographs.

Jenna is AMAZING! She was so easy to work with, and highly professional. My husband and I were drawn to the authenticity of her work, and we are so in love with our engagement and wedding photos! Jenna captured the genuine emotion of our wedding day, without any of the "cheesiness" that can be typical of wedding photos. On our wedding day, Jenna and her second shooter, Cody, were present to capture all our special moments, but it never felt crowded or overwhelming. We're also really glad that we went with the option to have a second shooter. We would highly

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!

I am an adventurous, happy soul who adores people. I love getting to know who you are and bringing that to life through the lens. My friends will tell you I am genuine, passionate and fun. My husband and kids will let you know I love spontaneous dance parties, golden light and snuggles. I can't wait to hear and tell your story through this amazing art form!

We love Kate so much. She is so patient with our family. Our kids are crazy, especially when it comes to photo time and she somehow captures amazing photos of them. She is able to capture such special moments through all the chaos with 3 young kids. I love how she has photographed us through every season of our life and grown with us! Our weddings, first baby, and now a family of 5. She is such a joyful person to be around! She is so good and positioning us and telling us what to do to get great pictures- I always appreciate that. We can't say good enough things about her!

Being a wedding photographer has allowed me to not only work in a super fun industry, but I LOVE what I do! Capturing moments of love and laughter is one of the most rewarding jobs. Not to mention I get to attend a different party every weekend! My couples quickly turn into friends and has expanded my business to not only wedding photography but also maternity, newborn and family photography.

Kacey is absolutely amazing! She was so fun and easy to work with during our engagement shoot and again on our wedding day. Not only did she make our day completely stress free, she captured every moment seamlessly and got us our full gallery back in less than three weeks! Her bright editing style was exactly what we were looking for to capture the best day of our life. We will cherish her pictures forever and hope to work with her again in the future on other big milestones! Thanks again Kacey, you rock!

Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. I believe that you should choose a photographer that you feel a connection with, and whose style of images resonates with you. If you choose to work with me, I promise that not only will you love your images - but you will also have an enjoyable and relaxed experience throughout your entire wedding day.

Jen was so fun and easy to work with! From our engagement session to the day of the wedding- Jen delivered everything I was hoping for and more! She helped plan our day of timeline and answered any questions I had about the logistics of everything, which is a lot when it comes to a wedding! I was so pleased with how our engagement pictures turned out, I had no worries when it came to the wedding photos. The very next day after our wedding, Jen shared about 50 individual photos as a "sneak peak" and it was SO nice to share them with family right away. I have seen many photographers share a collage of photos, and this was a full album! Jen really went out of her way to make our sessions with her extra special. She got us the perfect location for our engagement pictures and made sure to cross off every photo request on my list of the day of the wedding. I am really looking forward to working with her again in the future!
