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.

Alayna is Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer in South Florida. She is passionate about capturing the sentimental and in between moments. She is a documentary photographer for major life events as well as she also loves to capture the fun and playful side of couples.

Alayna is the best in every way! She is so talented and has an eye for attention to detail. We met Alayna for our guest book photos and loved her work so we asked her to do our destination wedding. She was there every step of the way, for my bachelorette, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Leading up to the wedding, Alayna was so communicative and supportive of our ideas while helping us brainstorm new ones as well. She is so creative and passionate about her art in photography. Alayna helped us organize our schedule, wedding party, family, and us. She helped put us at ease while taking pictures and we had so much fun! Looking back at the pictures I feel like I’m reliving our special day over and over again. Alayna did an amazing job capturing every single moment, big or small. We will cherish the beautiful photos that she took for the rest of our lives!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Hi there, my name is Sophie! I'm a Minnesota based couple/wedding photographer but am happy to travel wherever you need me. I would describe myself as organized and determined, yet bubbly and laidback at the same time.

We booked Sophie after meeting with a handful of photographers who just weren’t a good fit for us personality wise. Sophie is easygoing, punctual, thorough, and professional. On our day, Sophie was early, had such a bubbly, upbeat positive attitude and was SO helpful to us. She was often the first person to offer to help us with set up and take down. Our pictures turned out even better than we had hoped, and all of the crucial moments throughout the day were captured exactly as how we experienced them. Sophie was not only an amazing photographer, but a huge asset to us on our wedding day and we could not be happier with her services!

I've always been a creative at heart. I thrive when I am able to fulfill my passion of creating something beautiful that others will enjoy. I discovered my love for photographing portraits and couples after taking photos for friends and family, and the rest is history! My passion is to creatively capture the beauty and authentic personality of a person, couple, or family. When I'm not out photographing a couple or editing at my computer, I enjoy going out to the best new restaurant in the city, being outdoors, or planning a trip to a new destination to explore. I'm a lover of coffee, traveling, reading and anything outdoors.

I grew up with a life saturated in creativity. To put it simply: I love my job. My style tends to be joyful, raw, romantic, & bold. I love a deep splash of color in a palette of neutrals and natural light. I love traveling, ethnic food, & ice cream! Getting married myself helped me to realize the importance of wedding photography more than I could’ve imagined. I am also all about printing photos. I’ve shot over 75 weddings, and continue to in Las Vegas, NV, MN, ND, and beyond. I would love to serve you as a part of my journey. All I want is to build a relationship with you, be your third wheel, & send you off with memories.

We were overjoyed with this photographer! She was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Amazing quality of photos, and she got them back to us so quickly. Cannot express how happy I am with everything!

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 and Miriam were fantastic to have as first and second shooters on our wedding day. Both my husband and I have large extended families, and our goal was to use the occasion to get everyone together for group photos (pre-COVID). It was a huge hassle, and took FOREVER to get everyone in the right spot but Morey didn't settle for less than great shot (even when people were goofing around and being difficult). Our sunset hour session was amazing. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera, so I was so thankful we got to work with a photographer who is chill but decisive and who captured some really beautiful moments for us.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love being out doors, visiting new places, and photographing people that are a little crazy for each other. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

My wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Coming from 10+ years in venue management & wedding planning I've seen my share of photographers weekend after weekend. Let me tell you - it takes a special kind of photographer to have all the right skill set to be a good wedding photographer. Lauren is beyond that, she's great. She's personable, caring, professional, artistic, and can give you direction (this is huge) while capturing you, your mate, and your family. Her portraits are out of this world and her style is brilliant. She's in my top 5 of all time.

This might surprise you...Prior to photography, I was a professional concert dancer. So I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight. And I understand how to use my training as a dancer to make you look stunning in front of the camera. I know the mechanics of the body and how to pose you to look your best. And on your wedding day, that is exactly how you should feel.

Lauren is so incredibly talented at what she does! I'm a wedding planner and florist, so I have the opportunity to work with many photographers in the area. Lauren is by far one of the best in the industry. We recently worked on a styled shoot together, and she captured our vision and design so perfectly! She is the perfect blend of professional, and easy-going. Do yourself a favor and hire her!!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

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!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!
