Tim Larsen Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Brainerd, MN

Writing an about me page is a terribly revealing experience! Who takes the time to think "Who am I?" or "How would I describe myself to other people?" The temptation is to brag and be pretentious in order to convince you that I'm important, but instead I looked at my life and made some amazing discoveries. My life revolves around people. I love people. When I need to make a decision the people that it will affect are always the number one priority.

Tim Larsen Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Tim's communication was on top of everything - he responded quickly to emails and calls, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of his work and value were the best we could have had. Not only did Tim capture incredible photos that we will treasure forever, his rates were very reasonable. Tim is so personable, witty, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He really contributed to making our wedding day go smoothly. In addition to taking fantastic photos, Tim helped create a seamless schedule, provided vendor recommendations, and went above and beyond in many little ways. We can't recommend Tim highly enough for wedding photography services. His professionalism, talent and friendly demeanor lead to photos we never dreamed we could have. Thanks Tim!

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

My now husband and I had the joy of getting to use Diana for our engagement shoot as well as our wedding. Although our wedding and engagement shoot were out of state for her (and the wedding for us), she managed to not only get breathtaking pictures that captured all of the best moments flawlessly but she also remained organized, professional, fun and relaxed the whole time. She gives great direction and has an eye for capturing the best shots and communicated actively to make sure we were all on the same page. Diana was super helpful and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy with everything. Highly recommend Diana if you want beautiful, timeless pictures :)

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

As a photographer, my goal is to capture stories in the form of images. Photos have the power to help you relive a specific moment in time and recall all of the emotions and details surrounding that moment. When I work with you on a photo project, my goal is to provide you with photographic records of those moments. I want you to be able to look back at your photos years from today and be able to relive that moment in time.

We can't explain how happy we were with our decision in trusting you with our day the photos you took were absolutely beautiful. I was really impressed that you listened to exactly what we wanted (we definitely didn't want these fake posed photos you often see from weddings) and you were so perfect at fulfilling that and producing the most natural collection of memories. I haven't had the time to print them yet but I can't wait to have all of them up in the house. We were also super impressed by the speed of receiving our album we got 15 pictures the next day and the whole album after only 1 month of our wedding I must admit I cried when receiving them since they are so beautiful! The communication, reliability, and security we had with you we will forever be so grateful. Honestly best experience for our wedding and I would recommend this beautiful photography company to anyone.

Svat is a professional and an artist! We had a few hours set aside for photos before the ceremony and I honestly feel like we could have just taken pictures with Svat all day. He gives enough direction without it feeling like he's just shouting at you; the photos we've received so far are edited SO beautifully; and he worked with us to curate a mix of posed and candid shots to perfectly capture our big day! I feel like we got so lucky booking Svat and would definitely work with him again, given the opportunity!

From the moment we first reached out to Hello Hana Photography, we were impressed by her friendly and incredibly helpful communication style. Hana went above and beyond to ensure our engagement pictures were beautiful and that we felt comfortable during the whole process. As an interracial couple, we were worried about finding a photographer who knew how to make us both look our best, but the engagement photos she took exceeded all expectations. Hana also provided vendor recommendations and made herself available for any questions, going far beyond just the photography aspect. The final photos were nothing short of amazing - we are overjoyed with the results and would recommend Hello Hana Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We can’t wait for our wedding day & to continue working with Hana!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!
