MAKEUP ARTIST ONLY Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

Machine Shop is a historic, unique and bright venue in the heart of the vibrant St. Anthony neighborhood of Minneapolis. Steps from the Mississippi River, Machine Shop hosts a variety of events in its open, flexible space. From intimate to large groups, Machine Shop has been carefully restored with the specific needs of a high-end private event space in mind, keeping the original 1916 architectural details intact, while introducing modern luxury in this industrial space for all types of events. The innate character and modern updates of the historic building set the stage for clients and guests to experience events like never before in Minneapolis.

The Machine Shop was the only venue my wife and I looked at for our wedding. We have performed as string quartet musicians at a plethora of venues in the Twin Cities and beyond, and this was the first and only venue where as a vendor I looked at it and thought: "I could get married here." The biggest draws were: amazing indoor location, unique space, easy to find parking, close to home, and option for both ceremony and reception to be in the same space. Communication with the venue staff was quick, fast, and easy to understand our options. The select caterers and onsite only liquor selections were excellent and had a wide variety of tastes and options. We went with Brasa and 2 hosted signature cocktails during cocktail hour - the food and drink were such a hit and people could not stop saying how great Brasa was and the cocktails! We had so much fun on our wedding night and everything came together so well. We worked with Lauren from Machine Shop and she was amazing, we got to meet with her for a wine tasting with our families and she answered all of our many questions as well as helped us figure out our drink preferences. So many of our friends and family commented on how this was one of the most fun wedding venues they had been to and we couldn't agree more!

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Bonnie on Instagram and fell in love with her photograph style. She was wonderful for our engagement photos, and we are so excited to see the rest of our wedding photos. She was able to drive several hours to meet us, since our venue wasn't in her home base, for an additional reasonable charge. She was kind and fun, putting us at ease while getting our photos taken (we are not used to it at all!). She even helped us incorporate some of our ideas about playing games and reading books during our photoshoot and was very encouraging and accommodating. She made sure our photos didn't look posed, and captured many genuine laughs and smiles. Her photos are warm and colorful, without washed out skies or whites. We highly recommend Bonnie if you are looking for a photographer!

Since the beginning, hair and make-up has been my passion as well as being “upside down.” It has been on my mind and a fiber of my being since four years old. I was cartwheeling into hair and makeup for friends and family. Just an active, outdoorsy gal that loves to enhance all beauty.

Had some difficulty with communication in the beginning since I was in Utah planning a wedding for Minnesota, but Sarah was always willing to answer my questions and provide the additional clarity I needed to calm my nerves as well as ensure I was understanding all services provided. The contract could use a little work since that’s where most of my confusion stemmed from, but not a deal breaker. Sarah was personable and fun for our trials and actual day of application, all my bridesmaids enjoyed their looks and how easy it was to ask for personal tweaks to our looks. Highly recommend!

I am a believer in the beauty of storytelling and sharing our history with future generations, which is why I am drawn to wedding photography! Wedding days allow a couple to create a magical environment filled with personal touches and to share their love with the people who are most important in their lives - I love that I am able to help document and share each unique love story for them to cherish in the years to come!

Erica was AMAZING to work with! She was able to come to the wedding venue and do three sets of hair, including mine. My hair normally wont curl so i was nervous my hair wouldn’t cooperate because its hard for me to get any styling to stay, but she worked her magic and my hair turned out even better than I hoped! She laughed with us as we got ready and made the morning so enjoyable! Highly recommend using her!!!

What makes your artistry unique?: My ability to see colors for what they are and using them to my advantage. Custom blending unique palettes and shades per individual to enhance their natural beauty and play up their true tones. Being able to create textures, shadows and highlights to give you that chiseled jawline you’ve always dreamed of. Achieving sultry bright doe-eyes, capturing your beautiful post workout flush (or post wine, whatever you’re into) a flirtatious pout, radiant skin and a lit from within glow.

Amanda provided airbrush makeup for myself (bride) and each one of my bridesmaids (8 of them!). She did an amazing job on everyone and listened to everyone's unique requests. Some people wanted a more natural look and others wanted more features highlighted- Amanda was able to do both, and really well! I seriously couldn't be happier with the results and I think all of my bridesmaids felt the same way. You could tell how perfect everything was in our photos. Amanda has a stress free attitude that is contagious, she also pays great attention to detail and colors. She was always on time and quick at responding to all of my questions. She made the process enjoyable and I was able to fully trust her abilities. I would highly recommend her if you are lucky enough to secure a spot! Worth every penny!

A camera is a miracle. They allow you to capture a moment in time and then allow you to relive that moment forever. We make wedding films for the memories, the intimacy, and the heirlooms. Every. Moment. Is. Priceless. And you deserve to have it all captured, in a beautifully cinematic wedding film from Kings Films that tells the full story of the best day of your life.

It was an amazing experience to work with King films. Not only did they create an amazing video of our wedding day, but they were so incredible to work with. They captured our wedding day so well, when we rewatch our video it’s like we are there again. I would recommend their services to anyone who wants to capture a day full of memories to last a lifetime!

We were married in October 2022 at our church followed by the reception at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest. Having worked on the corporate side of event planning for nine years and seeing many event spaces in the Minneapolis area, the Marriott Southwest stood out to me from previous events. I knew we should consider it for our wedding, and I'm glad the date worked out that we were able to host our wedding reception here. Becca was helpful to work with and stayed in great communicate with us. Even months later, our guests talk about the food and the beautiful outdoor courtyard we were able to utilize for the cocktail hour. The ballroom space was the perfect setting for our dinner and dance featuring a live band with seven members on a stage. The ballroom was spacious and guests were never crowded. The corridor outside the ballroom was perfect for our photobooth and additional bar area. Thank you, Minneapolis Marriott Southwest, for making our wedding so fabulous!

Welcome to the Lumber Exchange Event Center, a historic gem nestled in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota. You'll be swept away by The Lumber Exchange's old-world charm— grand arches, romantic chandeliers, lofty ceilings, and dazzling marble floors. The original exposed brick paired with modern touches creates an industrial vibe that’s sure to captivate both you and your guests. The venue comes with two private suites and a dedicated cocktail hour space, making it ideal for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations. We’re here to make your day seamless from start to finish. Our venue rental includes a range of essentials, from tables, chairs, and linens to servers, bartenders, a wireless microphone, surround sound, two private suites, and liability insurance. We take care of setup and teardown so you can focus on enjoying your day. With skyway access to two hotels and a 700-stall covered parking garage, travel and lodging for you and your guests are both convenient and stress-free.

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

As she was flexible with scheduling and any questions I had. It was great working with Jennifer on a trial day. She had great ideas for my hair and make-up.

Welcome to my corner of the internet :) I’m a couple’s and wedding photographer based in Minnesota! It is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

A friend of mine recommended Catie’s services after doing a couples shoot and I am so grateful she did. From the beginning, Catie was easy to talk to, very straight forward, professional, and extremely kind. The minute we met at our engagement shoot we immediately hit it off. It felt as if we had known her for years. She is very passionate about her work and is always making sure to do whatever she can to make your experience seamless. She does an amazing job preparing for the big day and gives you the opportunity to connect to ask questions and share your thoughts so you are both on the same page. Not only is she a genuine person who cares about you as a couple, her work is flawless. We absolutely LOVED every single photo we received. There were so many friends and family who still continue to comment on our photos and rave about the amazing job that she did. Overall, if you are looking for a photographer who does amazing work but also cares about you as a couple, I would highly recommend Catie and her services to anyone looking for a photographer!
