Madison and I met when she hired me to do her wedding flowers but since then we have worked together as collaborators on several wedding projects! She is sweet, funny, kind and wonderful at creating and sticking to realistic timelines. She captures the day as it really is and doesn't make you do corny poses or funny prompts like some other wedding photographers. Her style is dreamy fun vintage and she often brings several cameras so that you can have some photos that are digital as well as film. I am very excited to see that she is leaving her day job and spending time doing what she was meant to do, being a creative!

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.

Bonnie Drake Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Golden Valley, 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
Bonne was our photographer for our wedding in April 2022, and we are SO HAPPY we found her. We considered photographers that had a second shooter, but honestly didn’t feel like we missed out at all as Bonnie did such a great job. Bonnie is so nice and has a way to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We did an engagement shoot which was a great way to know Bonnie and get some beautiful pictures for our invitations. We lived out of state at the time and Bonnie was super flexible to accommodate our schedule when we were visiting and recommended a great location. On our wedding day, Bonnie was very professional and organized which kept us on schedule while also making sure we weren’t worried about timing or about missing out on photos. We really wanted to be at our cocktail hour and she made it happen! But what really stands out is Bonnie’s eye for picking out great locations and capturing photos in the moment. The portrait shots were well framed and the candid photos really captured the emotions of the day. We snuck away with Bonnie to take some golden hour photos and they turned out so well! Bonnie had scoped out locations around our venue the day before which allowed for us to quickly sneak away to an awesome local. She is so talented! We love our photos and would recommend her to anyone!

I approach my photography the same way. Every shoot and every wedding is a new adventure.

She was so generous with her time and resources helping us think through the logistics of the day, and was really thoughtful about the way she made sure she knew what things were most important to us.

We were especially excited about the nighttime lantern pictures, and we're blown away by how cool those turned out! She made us as well as our family and friends feel so comfortable.

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 14+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

Finding a photographer who clicks with your family is a game-changer, and we hit the jackpot! Her bubbly personality lit up the room, making everyone, especially my toddler, feel like they were part of a fun playdate rather than a photo session. It’s not just her warm vibe but her exceptional talent that captured our moments so beautifully, making each photo a treasure. Working with her was a breeze; she’s accommodating, genuinely caring, and has an amazing eye for capturing life’s little wonders. If you’re looking for fun and stunning photos, she’s your go-to.

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!

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!

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
Not only have I worked weddings with Jessica in the past, but I hired her to shoot my wedding this past September, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I think that alone says a lot, but Jessica is a pure wizard when it comes to photography. Her skills at capturing all the candid moments with friends and family is impeccable, and she really allows space for your individuality as a couple to shine through (as opposed to canned pose after canned pose). I don't know how she made our photos look like pieces of art in addition to capturing the essence of our relationship, but like I said, she's magic.

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.

I am absolutely head over heels in love with the stunning photos that I had the privilege of shooting with Kenny. It’s abundantly clear that he possesses an extraordinary talent that truly sets him apart. Kenny’s ability to capture moments is nothing short of remarkable. Each photograph he takes is a work of art, a perfect blend of creativity and technical expertise. 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. He created an atmosphere that allowed my personality to shine, resulting in photos that not only looked incredible but also felt authentic and true to who I am.

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.

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.

If you are still looking for a photographer (no matter the occasion) stop right now and hire Mycah!! Mycah did our engagement pictures, COVID small ceremony, and finally our real wedding & reception in July 2021...and every single picture is beyond perfect. I am still getting compliments to this day of how wonderful Mycah was during my whole wedding. She knows how to get everyone's attention and listen to her directions for big group photos -even that family member that tries to control the situation! We had a huge group of friends, not a wedding party, and Mycah was able to get the most amazing pictures of the entire group (think 35+ people! ). She thought of every picture that I would never think of asking her to take. She is the kindest, easiest to talk to, most caring person you want at your wedding to take your pictures. We are not the most comfortable people in front of the camera and are super awkward but Mycah makes you feel at ease AND you end up looking so natural when you get your pictures!! I have no doubt that I will be asking Mycah to take photos of my family for the rest of time. She is super talented at what she does and you will love every picture she takes!!

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 LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

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!

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.

You can tell she has a ton of experience, she made you feel like you have known each other forever and super comfortable if you are awkward with getting photos taken and just a great person on top of it. Our engagement photos were so beautiful as well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for A photos and a great experience. Thank you Rachel and team! 3

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
I first met Mariah doing henna for her at a local cultural event, she had such passion for cultures and photography, and was such a genuine and happy person! I followed her work knowing that one day I'd like to work with her. When a few years later I was planning my own multicultural wedding, (and launching my wedding decor business), Mariah was the perfect fit. Knowing that she had knowledge and experience and more importantly passion for the craziness of cultural weddings/events was huge. She took the time to meet with me and my fiance to go over what we wanted, what the focus of the event should be, how we were doing our wedding, answering all our questions, giving us suggestions, etc. Even though as usual on the wedding day some things were running late, and we were getting antsy with the picture taking, she kept her calm, kept us laughing, and made it easy for us to enjoy the moment. We received so many amazing pictures of us, of our friends and family, and such great captures from our wedding day and the events beforehand. Could not be happier with how the day went and how the pictures turned out (I just wish we could have posed all day and had more awesome pics)!! She truly captured the joy we felt that weekend - and she was feeling it through the weekend as well!! It was a blast working with her team!

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!!!

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

This is long because we can’t figure out how to describe how amazing Vick is- If you’re searching for a photographer who is a true artist, will make you laugh, help you remember to take a breath and savor the little moments, aid in corralling your family (including the furry kind of family members) and friends, and go above and beyond in every way to help the wedding process proceed seamlessly seriously stop searching. Andrew Vick is the real deal. He made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and did so much for our wedding aside from taking beautiful pictures. He helped everyone coordinate, fixed dresses, captured all the moments we wanted, and especially the ones we didn’t know we would look back at and absolutely treasure. It has taken us a long time to try and write a review that will accurately describe his incredible work, and what a wonderful person he is. This review still doesn’t do him justice. Words can’t describe how amazing our experience with him was.

I want to give you a one-of-a-kind experience and a radiant confidence in who you are, both inside and out. As a photographer, I believe that every person has a remarkable story that deserves to be shared. I believe that authenticity is art and that honest images are the most beautiful. I make it my mission to craft a unique session for each client that truly highlights their personality and preserves it in timeless photographs that can be treasured for decades.

1000% hands down, you must hire Tiger Lily Photography! I just love love love love love Emily. She just shot our wedding this month. There are no words to describe how much I appreciate her. Down to the smallest details…she shows up with an energy you cannot put into words. She even had a pulse on when I could use a water throughout the day and would deliver it to me without me even asking. She is always one step ahead of anything and truly everything all day long. She is a calming presence, stayed on the timeline without an ounce of stress involved, always checked in to make sure both my husband and I were not feeling rushed. She seriously is the absolute best! The best part is that her photos are absolutely phenomenal and speak for themselves, she is so talented. Looking through our wedding photos allows me to relive the best day ever, all thanks to Emily!!

George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

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!!

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.
