​Jess has been our go-to photographer since the beginning. I always felt that the quality of the photos and the editing were exactly what I was looking for. Very effortlessly natural and in times even candid. The focus was always on my partner and I and our time together. Receiving the product after the engagement and wedding was such a joy. The mood and vibe of my wedding was captured perfectly. There was an excellent balance of what I asked for in terms of family, friend, party, couple, and detail photos. My wedding was very dark/moody and she easily accomplished the similar goal with the photos. I felt heard when there were issues that arose the day of and we always worked to solve it in a way that we would get the photos we needed. In addition, she chose and AMAZING second photographer that she knew would jive with us as well. Lastly, they were excellent at wrangling large, rambunctious families and remaining professional which I’ll be forever grateful for. I’m so, SO impressed with her talent. I have and will continue to recommend her to anyone I think would be a good fit for her.

Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

I love fun adventures, traveling to new places, meeting people and learning about their unique experiences - a big part of why I love photography! I specialize in wedding and engagement portraits and love serving my couples!

Erica did an amazing job! We had an idea of what we both wanted for our photos and she took those broad ideas and location ideas and made it happen! Because of some weather concerns, she was able to be sure that the location we went to had a great second option if we needed it. Since we did engagement photos with her it made our wedding day seamless and fluid. The photos turned out a million times better then I could have ever imagined. She is a great person to work with and I will definitely be booking her for our future photo needs.

Sea Circus Weddings 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Crystal Bay, MN

I am driven to capture wedding days in a purposefully artful, poetic, way – softly directing my couples into the most beautiful light and choosing compositions that highlight their love story. It is vital to give couples the time and encouragement to let go and be themselves. Couples wedding photos should feel like art – pieces they will hang on their walls and look at with awe. My work is heavily influenced by the romance and evocative emotion expressed in a ballet which leads me to create photographs that artfully express the feeling of ones wedding day through the play of movement and light.

Awarded Best of Zola
Reyna and her husband, Casey, did an amazing job—we will never regret choosing Sea Circus Weddings to photograph our wedding day!! The choice of lighting and attention to detail was evident throughout our wedding album. Our family and friends were all very impressed with how beautiful everything turned out! :) I have personally known Reyna for many years — she is so talented and one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! Thank you again, Reyna and Casey, for everything! We are so grateful to have such sweet photos from our big day to cherish forever :) Love, Caylee and Tanner

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

He's cool calm and collected, and helps to guide you without making your day feel like a goofy photoshoot. On the lead up to your day, you can expect direct and clear communication. Photos arrived exactly on schedule. Expect lots of compliments from anyone who sees your photos!

Bonnie Drake Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Crystal Bay, MN

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've had the pleasure of working with Bonnie several times in the last year with her as my second shooter. She is on time, friendly, and a great person to work with. Her work is also great and I can always trust that her photos will be a great addition to my own! She'll absolutely be a great addition to your day; I wouldn't ever hesitate to hire her!

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!!!

Welcome to a world of modern romance and timeless elegance, where tales of both the young and old are beautifully captured. A picture is worth a thousand words - I'm inspired by the charm of old films reimagined in the present, I weave the old into the new with the timeless elegance and meaning.

I am a full-time film photographer and ceramic artist. I bring a calm, intentional, artful lens to whatever medium I am practicing, including wedding photography. I want images to feel a bit undone, honest, and full of life. The images that would be a treasure to find dust covered in a shoe box years and years from now and would tell an honest story of who you were and how you loved.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Her calm energy, belief in a slow process and general kindness were key to making our day the dream that it was. We chose Jess to capture our wedding day because of her ability to create honest, down-to-earth images of moments in time with an artistic and detailed eye. Our images capture the vulnerability and joy that is a wedding day so naturally. Nothing about our images feel forced or cliche. She skillfully captured the spirit of the event and was clear in her understanding that a wedding is about community. We have images of our loved ones that we will treasure forever and are so deeply grateful for spending our day with her. We cannot recommend Jess enough.

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stop looking for another photographer!!!! Just stop. Don't waste your time with anybody else, you want Britt from Render Photography. Britt has now photographed us on three separate occasions, including our wedding. We were married in the dead of Minnesota winter. She came prepared for indoor and outdoor photos and had fantastic ideas. She worked with us prior to the wedding to ensure that we got photos with all of our family members, which was very important to us. (Pro tip: make this list BEFORE your wedding day. Don't worry, Britt will remind you.) Not only does Britt have an amazing eye for light, but she will also help to pose you and your family/wedding party/friends/dogs to help accentuate your best looks. Read that again - yes, I said dogs. Britt works well with humans and just as well with furry friends. Britt was absolutely integral to the success of our wedding. Make no mistake, she's the reason we started on time. She's professional to the core while bringing a light and warm energy to any space she enters. Are you silly and light-hearted? She's got you. Are you dramatic and serious? No problem. When you work with one of the best in the business, your personality is captured regardless of how you emote. Give yourself the gift of beautifully captured memories by working with Britt. It will be one of the best decisions you make.

Photography is more than a career to me, it's my passion. I want to give you an inspired photographic experience. ‍ Your wedding images should tell your story, not mine or anyone else's. The images should evoke the raw and honest emotions of the love you share. Through my lens, I strive to faithfully translate the love and emotion you feel into timeless and genuine images, so five, ten, or fifty years from the future you can relive that day the same way you experienced it. The timeless photographs will become your treasured and preserved works of art, ready to be gathered together in an album or hung on your walls.

His keen eye for detail, coupled with an innate understanding of light, composition, and subject, consistently results in exceptional images. Working with Kenny was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and dedication to his craft were evident throughout the shoot.

Capturing your beautiful & intimate moments is why I do what I do. Whether it's the brush of a hand, a first look, or an inside joke whispered at just the right time... I am constantly seeking to capture those beautiful moments. Those real, stunning and timeless moments that make up YOUR relationship. However, I pride myself on being more than a wedding photographer – As someone who has been an intimate part of over 200 weddings, I vow to be your number one hype woman, your timeline planner, your moment of zen, your personal cleavage taper, your family wrangler, your time pauser, and your memory keeper.

Mycah came down to Chicago to take our engagement pictures – We started at the Chicago Institute of Art, walked the streets to the Chicago theater, and ended on a bridge overlooking the river. These are hands down some of the greatest pictures I have ever had taken of me, and I have had so many people reach out to me asking who the photographer was. Not only is Mycah absolutely brilliant when it comes to photography, and capturing love in a way that is authentic and powerful, but she also has a natural ability to make the entire process so seamless and calm. My fiancé made it very clear before we took pictures that we were going to be doing his 2 least favorite things – PDA, and taking pictures. Yet after the afternoon we spent taking pictures together he was so grateful for the experience, and even rated it a 10/10! I can't say enough about how talented Mycah is, and I would never trust anybody else to take my pictures.

As you stand beside your soulmate on your big day, you will make your most awesome promise yet. A promise to forever with your best friend. I believe that the promise you make on your wedding day deserves to be memorialized in a way that does justice to you story. The images we’ll create will become your first family heirloom. I don't take that responsibility lightly! I’ll be there to capture everything: from the belly laughs in your getting ready room, to the tears in your honey’s eyes when they see you, to your friend’s and family’s hilarious dance moves. I promise to capture it all! Ready to get this party started?! Shoot me a message!

Celisia was on a very short list of photographers that we had in mind after we got engaged in Spring 2019. For our engagement and wedding pictures, we really wanted someone who would have the photos really reflect the day for what it was. Celisia did just that. When we were meeting with photographers, she came up with packages that fit our needs, she was really comfortable to work with (also helps that she and I went to school together back in the day), and brought a lot of energy to the shoots. Something that I looked at a lot when it came to photographers was the ethnic and racial diversity of their portfolios. I knew that was something important to Celisia, and that's what sealed the deal for me. Not unrelated, but just a great tidbit, during our couples' pictures before the ceremony, I went to pose with my husband and my leg just cramped up, I had to cling to him to keep from falling over. Jessica, the second shooter, offered to go grab water and basically made it to the basement of the church and back outside in less than five minutes. The rest of that portion they both made sure that I hydrated and break if needed. It was a great experience, and we really appreciated the ease and respectfulness they had for our venue when taking pictures. We've gotten lots of compliments about all of our pictures since receiving the full gallery back. Overall, an amazing experience, would highly recommend, and support Black businesses, especially professional services like photography!

Let’s get this out of the way, yes, Angela Divine is my real name. My grandmother was Divina, she passed the name Divine onto my mom, and my mom passed it onto me. Maybe it stems from my untraditional name, but I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. In my younger years, I never fit it in, and I didn’t find my people until I stopped trying and embraced what makes me weird. I love celebrating the unique with my photography, which is why I work best with those who want their photos to be truly authentic and one of a kind. Looking forward to hearing your vision, and what makes your story so unique.

Angela was fantastic to work with from our introductory conversation, all the way through the entire process. We never had any miscommunication whatsoever. She went above and beyond the call of duty!! We were married on Halloween, and she was happy to spend the holiday photographing our special time. She even did the research to see what it would take to get some full moon shots with us!! Angela was kind and thoughtful with our friends and family during the whole day. Her gentle professionalism is notable. We were able to view a few of her shots, and so far, so good! She is skilled, attentive, and most of all, a sweet person with an eye for detail. We absolutely recommend her to anyone who has an event that needs to be captured in pictures! All the Love! Jonny and Libby.

We’re here to help. We’ve talked brides down from ledges, helped caterers break down tables, and pinned boutonnieres onto tuxedos. We’ll laugh, bring the fun, and always keep our heads even when something goes wrong. At Studio Veil, we think of ourselves as ducks on water. We may be crazy kicking underneath to keep things rolling smoothly, but above the water, we’ll always stay calm and collected

If I could give 6 stars, I would. If you are looking for a no-drama vendor, look no further. Not only did Ryan help us take our engagement photos 8 months before our wedding (and it was Ryan himself, not some random photographer), but his team was our entire media-suite for the wedding. From DJ who played all of the songs we had on our list, to a fun photo booth, to taking wonderful video and pictures of our entire special day... he was literally alongside us for all of the documentation of our wedding. As terrible as it is for me to say, thankfully, his team was never in view, never in the way; they captured the intimate moments, the big raucous crowds, and everything in between. Moreover, his involvement goes beyond day-of, as the photo book he created from our wedding now lives on our mantel as a permanent reminder of one of the happiest day of our life. There is no over-selling Ryan Veil or his team. Wedding planning is complicated, and Ryan not only delivered with his artistry, but his organized approach and proactive communication allowed my wife and I to focus on each other instead of worrying that the moment would be captured (which is a big deal because my wife has a terrible tendency to always have her phone out needing to 'capture the moment'). The candid pictures were fire. Also... with the last name Veil, what are you doing choosing someone else?

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement.

I can't imagine anyone better to work with for our wedding pics. Erin effortlessly met our vibe and helped us keep everything calm, cool, and moving right along. She was essential in helping us nail down a timeline that maximized our priorities but also resulted in an incredible variety of photos that perfectly captured the day. We ended up with so many photos we loved that our moms scheduled a day to reminisce on the wedding and go back through the pics together. Everything 10/10, can't recommend enough!

Kayla & Zach - WOW!!! We feel so lucky that our paths aligned to have you a part of our incredible vendor team for our wedding. It was an absolute pleasure working with you. Leading up to our day, they were SO responsive in communication - there was never a question that went unanswered. To someone who is from the wedding industry, that meant the world to us as we never felt unimportant. Kayla & Zach’s level of communication and care for their clients is truly appreciated. We felt so special, from the day we met with them in our consult, to the super sweet welcome gift. Even the days leading up to our wedding - every interaction was so kind and special. The speed in which we received clips and sneak peeks back was amazing, and it kept the excitement levels high with us, and our guests!! It has been so fun to keep reliving the memories as they post to their social platforms. We could not recommend Storyteller Co. more!!!

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 does an amazing job capturing all of those special moments between poses. The moments that are raw and make you feel something when you look at them. The photos that Macie took on my wedding day tell a story and I am forever grateful to her. The photos are beautiful and edited wonderfully. I get to relive my wedding day as many times as I’d like through those photos. Also, Macie is a such a kind and genuine person. She is easy to work with and does an amazing job. I could not recommend Macie enough.

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.

Ceri McCaffrey Photography

  • Serves Crystal Bay, MN

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

We were fortunate to find Ceri as a referral from another photographer and we cannot recommend Ceri's services enough. Not only are our photos incredible but she was kind, compassionate, and kept the day on schedule. My husband and I were worried about family photos since both of us have divorced parents but she has us make a list ahead of time and kept everyone happy and make photos go so fast. We love our photos and are so grateful to have them to treasure forever.

I want to create with you a time capsule: a way to transport you back to your wedding day and how it all felt. I believe photography is the purest form of storytelling. I live for the unrehearsed, beautiful and genuine images. Those filled with pure joy and even tears. I also know how to help you treasure those family photos (your family ROCKS!) and capture all the details that become so precious. Your story is AMAZING and I can't wait to be there to celebrate together!

Laura has captured every part of our wedding journey from the proposal to our engagement photos to our wedding day. She is the sweetest soul and consistently puts out amazing photos. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera but she always made us feel so comfortable. We brought our dog to both our engagement photos and our wedding. He’s not great in front of the camera either but she was able to get some of my favorite shots of both days with him behaving for 30 seconds at a time.

Hello there!! I’m so pumped to meet you!! Honestly, making new friends is the best. Surrounding myself with excitement, love, and happiness is the best career I could ask for. I have been a photographer for 11 years, and specializing in weddings since 2014. I grew up in Minneapolis, but am far from a typical Midwesterner! I have a degree in Sociology and Anthropology, so I genuinely am fascinated not only by your love story, but also your background, profession, and daily whereabouts!

If you're looking for someone who will creatively capture every single detail and moment, as well as every candid smile, laugh and tear on your wedding day, Athena of Empiria Studios is your gal! We absolutely LOVED having Athena as our wedding photographer. Not only does her work speak for itself, but her upbeat/positive attitude, spunk and calming nature truly did wonders to all of our nerves and excitement the day of and prior to. On top of her awesome personality, Athena is very proactive, organized and adaptable, and she made the entire planning experience such a breeze (even during COVID!). We were super impressed with the timeliness of our several sneak peaks, and also, how prompt she got us our entire wedding album! Athena was a true joy to work with and get to know, and we look forward to having her capture future moments/occasions. Now go check out her website, view her work and hire her - that’s exactly what we did - I promise you won’t regret it!

I’VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL FOR 10 YEARS. Yup, crazy I know! I've joined countless couples in their adventures of love. Why? People are my passion. Photography sprouted out of my desire to connect with people and make it known to the world that every human has equal worth and beauty. I dabbled in photojournalism before I fell in love with weddings. When I was in Kenya I had the privilege of documenting a few weddings, and that's when there was a SPARK.

Awarded Best of Zola
We really enjoyed working with Mariah! She's just so full of love and energy and you can see it through the way she treats her clients. She is never short of creative ideas so if you don't have your own, you're in safe hands! The pictures really tell a story and when you look back through them, it feels like you're re-living your wedding day all over again. You just can't go wrong with Mariah!

I’m Bethany. I’m a mom, I love old vinyl, cats and amazing food! I travel as much as possible and live for live music. I recently picked up cycling and you can find me on the trails all around Minnesota in the spring through the fall. I have been photographing weddings since 2010. I have photographed weddings in Minnesota, California, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Iowa and Italy! My passport is up to date! I am so excited to get to know you and hear about your story. Capturing the real moments between a couple is why I do what I do. It's those moments that tell the story of the love that you share with each other.

Our wedding was a small, family-only event at our home. Bethany immediately set everyone at ease and perfectly captured the intimate setting. She was so easy to work with, offering suggestions and creating fun moments with our group. Bethany also photographed our reception, and did a fantastic job spotlighting our guests and the energy of the evening. We appreciated Bethany’s professionalism and skill. The photos of our event are just stunning – they are some of the best photos ever taken of us.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

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!!!

I’m a wedding photographer located in Minneapolis serving modern and chic couples across the state, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. I am inspired by art, architecture, and European design giving her wedding collections a timeless look in the Midwest.

Gretchen was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding celebration. She is so kind, made you feel so comfortable and at ease during every shoot! She makes you feel so special and absolutely not judged at all. Communication throughout the whole process was transparent and very professional as well! As someone who needs reassurance throughout the way, Gretchen made me feel at ease. I've never worked with a kinder person and the photo delivery was better than we expected. We are so glad she was the one to capture our forever pictures. She's the kindest human to trust during your most special moment!

I am an introvert and an extravert in one. I am honest, loyal, creative, committed, passionate, and genuine. I am a simple person with a complex personality. I love the little things in life, from a good latte to the perfect fitting jeans to a bright summer day. Being outside rejuvenates. I am crazy about my family; my husband, and 3 daughters. I love traditions, like the same family vacation every year, but I also can't wait for my next spontaneous girlfriend getaway. If I am not out exploring the world, I enjoy living in the four seasoned state of Minnesota. There are so many adventures to have right in my backyard!

We absolutely love working with Erin! We recommend her to our clients all the time! She is professional, kind, confident, and patient. She is a wedding industry veteran who will help your day go smoothly!
