Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography was wonderful to work with. She truly captured our wedding day exactly as we remember it! She helped with keeping our timeline flowing. She was patient, responsive, organized, easy going, and best of all helped my husband and I pose in a way that did not look posed. Neither of us are very comfortable around a camera and she made the overall experience so much more enjoyable! Definitely recommend!

Whether you’re planning a quiet elopement in the woods or a lively celebration surrounded by family and friends, I’m here to document it all in a way that feels genuine and true to you.

I’m all about those candid, meaningful moments—ones that show your connection and the joy of the people around you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

Devyn is absolutely amazing! She is so fun to work with. She effortlessly made me feel instantly comfortable, and she was so encouraging and wonderful throughout our whole shoot. I have a bigger body, so I was a little nervous going in, but I’m in LOVE with my gallery— she really made me feel so beautiful and captured me in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She made me fall more in love with myself, and we had the funnest time together. We then did a very cool moody lights session together which I loved! She’s so great at communication, too!

Erica did an outstanding job photographing our wedding earlier this month. We initially reached out to her because we heard she had photographed another wedding at our venue and we are so thankful we did. Her work is amazing and she is so fun to work with. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken but she made the whole day carefree and fun. She had a schedule for all the photos and everything went smoothly. We even ended up with extra time which allowed us to get some fun night shots in during the reception. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a photographer!

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

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

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Agape Moments was incredibly attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was captured beautifully.

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

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.

Fast-forward to our surprise engagement session - which Kasey and Tyler plotted the logistics with Cory - we knew we wanted to be sure they had availability on the weekend we selected for our wedding. Their portal makes connecting with them easy. And we really appreciated that they have a great experience, but are willing to go along with our vision - like taking pictures on a frozen lake! Kasey and Tyler are very genuine at the end of the day, regardless of photo session type - you can tell they love love, and that is absolutely reflected in their work.

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

Omg Ari is a life saver. She is without a doubt the only reason our wedding day went smoothly. She knows what she is doing and she helped me with more than I thought a photographer would. That shows how much she cares about making the photos look good for her clients. Also, her personality is amazing. Even this introvert could vibe and not feel uncomfortable. Meaning I know my photos are going to look more natural. 110% recommend.

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.

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 spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for. She exuded calm and was incredibly organized, her professionalism showing in every planning session and resource. She even provided a photography planning guide full of wedding day resources, tips, and vendor recommendations. On the day of our wedding, Natalie navigated my massive bridal party with ease, capturing every carefully considered detail and breathtaking wide-angle shot of every moment. We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. And then, while we were on our honeymoon, she surprised us only a few days later with stunning sneak peek shots! She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.

Capturing your story and making your memories last forever is why I love what I do. I get to meet new people and experience their life for a brief moment. Learning about who or what they love. Sharing memories and experiences together.

Alex Rae Photography was a wonderful photographer for our wedding day. Alex was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, always providing clear communication. On the wedding day, Alex was able to go with the flow when needed but also confidently take charge to guide us through portraits. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing all the special moments. Alex made the entire process easy and comfortable. We felt at ease in front the camera and the photos reflect the joy we felt. The quality shows in the final edited photos and the value was well worth the cost. We would highly recommend Alex Rae Photography for your wedding or special event photography needs.

Hi! I'm Caitlin and I love working with couples who are also excited about starting their new adventure! I love capturing your story through photos so that you can have them for life. My goal is to always serve you well in all areas of your wedding or elopement! I love capturing love! It is my absolute favorite! I will go anywhere you need me to go - just let me know where and when. Let's go have some fun together!

My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

I'm a Minnesota-Based Wedding and Boudoir Photographer and believe in documenting the moments that matter most to you. Most days you can find me hanging with my three boys in yoga pants and my favorite baseball hat. And, of course, sipping my creamer with a slash of coffee. I’m not a girly girl, I don’t do the color pink, and can’t braid for the life of me - hence why God blessed me with boys. It’s those boys who are the heart behind my business.

Christina Naselli was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was clear, kind, flexible, fun and respectful throughout the entire planning process, which made her a pleasure to collaborate with. Christina created a thoughtful wedding day timeline for me and was happy to modify it based on my feedback to ensure we were aligned. She also provided incredibly helpful tips and advice and assisted with coordinating my wedding party. On the actual wedding day, Christina kept me calm with her upbeat energy. And most importantly, the quality of her work is stunning - the photos perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding and we could not be happier. I cannot recommend Christina highly enough!

My approach is a blend of editorial and documentary styles, focusing on documenting love stories with a creative, candid flair. I thrive capturing the real stuff—spontaneous moments and authentic personalities. Born and raised in Minnesota, photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and now I've been doing this professionally for over 3 years.

Our wedding day was a dream and our dreamy day was captured perfectly with Caitlyn Kloeckl Photography. We enjoyed working with her as she is quick to respond, and the timely manner she is able to get the photos edited and back to you as a customer is extremely impressive. The pictures are so special to us and we cherish them as we are able to look back to our wedding day with tasteful photos and film photography. Caitlyn and her sweet second photographer drove to Duluth and were very dedicated in making sure the venue lighting and surroundings were suitable for quality images. We were lucky to find such a wonderful photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding day too. We are forever grateful. I will suggest CKP to all my friends who are looking for quality content at an affordable price. CKP captures amazing photos that project the love in a ceremony, families coming together, friends celebrating, dancing through the evening, and all the precious little moments of a wedding day.

Hi, I'm Alex! As a newlywed myself, I was in your shoes not too long ago. I've been in the industry for the past three years, and celebrating and capturing your love is my passion. I believe God gave me a gift that I am blessed to share with everyone, allowing you to keep these cherished memories forever!

Alexandria photographed both our engagement and wedding photos. In both experiences, she was punctual, flexible, kind and fun to work with. Her work is phenomenal (and reasonably priced!), and I couldn't recommend her more for your special moments! You can tell she loves what she does and puts maximum effort into ensuring your photos reflect gorgeous colors and truly capture the emotions. Her attention to detail is superb; throughout both experiences, she would kindly advise on hair and positioning to help my hubby and me look our best, in addition to having ready recommendations for the engagement photo venue, outfit ideas, wedding details, and photo books, among other things. She was a true asset to our wedding and I am so glad I had the opportunity to work with her.

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!

I own a wedding venue and we do over 80 weddings per year. We see a lot of photographers each year and it is clear that there are people who own expensive cameras and then there are photographers. A true photographer has an eye for the right light at the right angle at the right exposure at the right focus at the right distance. Michelle is one of the true photographers. She does great work with a creative eye for detail. To top it off she is great to work with. Pleasant and professional with none of the arrogance. If you can get on her calendar, do it.

Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a wedding is such an incredible time in your life! We are a husband and wife photographer team for weddings, so you'll get twice the laughs while taking photos and the peace of mind knowing we are helping you keep your day on schedule with all your planners! Being married with two kids of our own, we completely understand the craziness of the wedding world. We want to help make everything on your big day as exciting and as magical as you've envisioned since you were a child! We believe that two is better than one.

We could not have had a better photography experience at our wedding! Teagan was our main photographer with her husband as our 2nd photographer. They work so well together and everything ran smoothly. Teagan was fun, friendly, and connected with our group perfectly. We had a bounce house at our wedding and she got right in there take photos in it! We did have issues with our DJ, and Teagan made sure to advocate for us and our schedule to make sure the evening flowed perfectly. We cannot thank her enough for that! We met with her prior to the wedding to finalize details and the schedule, and she made sure to incorporate everything we wanted, even giving suggestions we hadn’t thought about and loved! We love looking back on our photos and cannot thank her enough for how perfect they turned out!

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for almost 8 years. I was drawn into weddings after shooting my first one and loving how fun it was to hang with people on their best day ever. They're surrounded by their family and friends and so much love and happiness. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I love so much, that it doesn't feel like work. I'm married to my favorite person in the world and we love to travel. We have 3 kids, one son in law and 2 little grand babies that we completely adore!

You don’t know it yet, but you need Julie. She is absolutely amazing. Stop your photographer search here and choose Julie. She makes you feel so comfortable and that you’ve know her for years. Her passion for photography does not go unnoticed. Julie’s photos are of high quality and we absolutely love the natural brightness of her edits, even on gloomy days. Julie was so so easy to contact, was flexible and literally took stress off my plate. I cannot thank her enough. She was a huge part of our big day and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. She’s like a personal attendant and photographer and best friend all in one. You need Julie. We cannot wait to work with her (and her husband and team!) again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

True Visionaries that believe all love matters. We're Megan & Alec, A Midwest based Photo + Video duo ready to capture and tell your stories as we see them. We are lovers first and parents second, but both are equally as important. With those relationships as the foundation to our lives we understand more than anything the importance of a singular image or film. The tangible gift that we get to create with you and your loved ones is completely priceless and we hope that we can encapsulate emotions while holding space for you during our time together.

Beyond amazing. Megan & Alec are incredibly caring & talented visionaries. What they do the day of a wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly is way more than I could have ever expected. From video calls, to timeline creation, to helping with small details you would never even think. They are both super attentive & great listeners. We received a small preview the day after our wedding & are even more in awe of their work now than we were before. 10/10 in every way possible & I wouldn't hesitate to book them for any life event or photoshoot. What they are able to do together as a team is just truly out of this world & I am SO GRATEFUL they were the ones to capture our most memorable day yet.
