They were the perfect choice for our wedding. You won't regret any shoot with them. From the start of our planning, when we first spoke with them, their communication was prompt, polite, and showed their depth of experience and love for taking the best shot possible to ensure we look good and the moment was stress-less. And we laughed a lot. I wouldn't have wasted my hard-earned money if we didn't feel confident. They exceeded our expectations. The fact that they showed up with smiles and the correct gear meant the world to us on our special day (as a photographer/videographer myself). It's clear they treat their employees well too, people want to work at MWLS. More reason to support their family business. The positive energy translated into amazing photos that we will cherish forever. Money well spent on Midwest LifeShots Photography. Plus, Jenn is awesome.

He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted.

  • Editorial style

Hi! I am a Minneapolis, MN and La Crosse, WI based creative working to bring fairytales to life, ensure that artistic styles are recognized, and make new friends along the way. I believe in focusing on the finer details when it comes to getting to know a person’s personality — especially when creating art based on their life and story. True art emanates from the soul and is represented through a style unique to every person.

Julia was amazing to work with. I’m not very comfortable with getting photographed and was a bit nervous to do this, but Julia made it very comfortable and easy! Not only was it a good experience, but my girlfriend and I love the pictures!

Mercy is amazing! She came to our home to take newborn photos, and didn’t rush us, and let me take time to feed our new baby in the middle of the session so he would calm down and be settled for pictures. She got us sneak peeks about a week later and the whole gallery a couple weeks after that! She was helpful suggesting different poses and working with the inspiration pics I had sent her before hand. She is also so sweet to be around and made us feel super comforting while taking pictures, I highly recommend Mercy !!

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!

Emma Jeanson Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Dakota, MN

For eight years I have had a passion for photography, and capturing moments that tell a story.  I love to bring an element of fun to the table during your shoot and build new, trusting, friendships.  While photography is my passion, I also share a lifelong career in nursing. I hold a diploma in Fine Arts Photography, as well as a Master's Degree in Nursing. I love the smell of the air on a summer morning, the silence of the city when it snows, my boyfriend of seven years, Daniel, and the beautiful life we have made together including our 2 dogs and 2 cats.

Emma is hands down one of my favorite photographers. She has an incredible vision but will always utilize the clients preferences or requests. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, she will give you personal opinions, experience and guide in the way she envisions for you/as a couple/or family. I have already done 3 photo shoots with her and I have never been or will ever be disappointed by her work! She’s so affordable for truly an amazing investment. My fiancé and I have already established that we have found our forever photographer, especially for our future wedding and when we’re ready for family photos. We recently did our engagement photos and about 4 hours after we left our shoot, she had already uploaded and given us access to a dozen photos. The sneak peak preview was everything and is always appreciated to give you that excitement and something to work with while waiting for her to finish editing all photos. The confidence, pride and awe I have from our photos can not fully be defined by words - the work she does speaks for itself. HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!!!!! You’d regret not using her as your photographer.

Documenting life's most incredible moments for future generations, while going above and beyond to capture elegant, unique, and timeless images. From the moment you say "Yes" to the day you say, "I Do", I will be right there with you, every step of the way, collaborating with you in capturing the most beautiful and keepsake imagery.

Kelly at K's Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was extremely efficient, responsive, and took the time to listen to all of our wants and needs. As a true perfectionist, Kelly studied our venue and wedding style, researching poses and ideas to ensure our photos were absolutely perfect. Given that we had a destination wedding in the Dominican Republic, Kelly went above and beyond - she booked her own travel, researched how to get all of her camera gear on the plane, and even spent time scouting the location ahead of time to prepare. Kelly really took the time to get to know us and our families, which helped her capture the true essence of our special day. The quality of her work is unmatched, and the photos will be treasured for a lifetime. Kelly has a beautiful studio where we were able to view all of the stunning images in a comfortable setting. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a more positive experience for our once-in-a-lifetime event. We highly recommend K's Photography to any couple looking for a true professional who will go the extra mile to make your wedding day perfect.

I blend my experience as a sports, event, and landscape photographer to cultivate stunning wedding photographs that perfectly capture the beauty and joy of your wedding day. After over a decade as a photographer who specialized in sports, events, and landscapes, I opened my business to cover weddings after becoming frustrated with the pricing plans of photographers who charged luxury rates for plans that barely covered our ceremony and dinner. I didn't have to be that way. So I embarked on using my knowledge and experience as a photographer to allow anyone access to high quality photography of their wedding from morning to night.

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.

He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

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.

I don’t just take photos—I capture the raw, unfiltered moments that make your wedding feel like a beautifully crafted film. The quiet glances, the bursts of laughter, the tears of joy—each frame is a memory, preserved forever. — Caz Isaiah

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.
