Hannah was initially meant to be the photographer for my wedding ceremony. A month before my wedding, my fiancé and I unfortunately split. Hannah remained flexible and swerved 180 for me - I decided to throw a “commitment to myself” ceremony and Hannah agreed to remain on as my photographer. She gave wonderful direction, made the shoot fun and delivered BEAUTIFUL photos in return that I keep and have framed to this day. She made sure to treat the moment with just as much consideration and professionalism as she did any of her other clients while providing an empathy and tenderness to my needs and wants from the shoot that is unique to her. If I were to give my experience stars, Hannah Lee Kuhn Photography gets 5/5.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Crave was one of the caterers at a wedding we planned. In addition to setting up and managing their own food, they were a huge help to the other caterer that was late and underprepared. As a wedding planner, any vendor that is helpful with things they don't have to be helpful with, particularly with one that is doing the same thing they are, is amazing in my book and someone I want to work with again. Plus, their food is great and they have a great presentation for stations. You won't be disappointed!

  • Serves Hamel, 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 have had the great joy and privilege to work with Bonnie for both my wedding ceremony and for professional website photos. She has a natural talent for putting people at ease and capturing moments of connection that are authentic and organic. She also has an eye for detail and gives great feedback without being judgmental. Every session we had together was both fun and productive. I highly recommend Bonnie to anyone who wants photos that capture the spirit of their relationships - to other humans, to animals, to nature, to work, to the spaces they inhabit, and more.

I heard someone say once, "What people come to you for is what you're good at." Since I haven't figured out a way to make a career out of eating candy and watching Law & Order, the next thing would be Floral Design. What I thought would be 'just a part time job' at a neighborhood flower shop, turned out to be the greatest, most challenging, and beautiful adventure. After years of working in the retail shop environment (and meeting two of my now nearest and dearest friends), it was very obvious that I should expand my knowledge in the floral industry.

Alex made our wedding day so beautiful with her thoughtful, creative and talented eye! We have received compliments for our flowers even years after our wedding. Not only did she capture our vision for our wedding, but Alex has provided beautiful holiday arrangements for our home year after year. I am so thankful to have someone so creative and professional to add that little boost to any event or just to brighten the room! We love thistle floral!

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!

I'm a wedding planner who worked with with Amy a few weeks ago at a wedding and she was so amazing to work with!! Leading up to the wedding day she was super responsive on emails and informing us of any changes to the timeline or the weather plan. The day of the wedding, she kept the energy up & alive even though it was raining- and was just overall so great to work with. Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer!! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events

Hi! I'm Anna and I’m a queer wedding photographer who specializes in LGBTQIA+ weddings here in MN and all over! I’m an adventurous soul who loves to get lost in the wilds of nature. I approach my photography the same way. Every shoot and every wedding is a new adventure. Sure, we might have a basic roadmap, but I want us to be open to exploring the lesser-traveled trails and the secret paths that line our route. That’s the kind of thing that’s going to make your wedding totally unique to you two! I'm a human just like you and I want to make all HUMANS feel totally comfortable around me and my camera. So let's connect and share some kindness!

Wildly Connected did an absolutely amazing job with my wedding. Anna and all of the photographers are the sweetest, most considerate people you will ever meet. My husband is camera shy and we still got incredible photos!! The whole team was super perceptive to exactly what we wanted, and I got my entire wedding album back in less than a week. 11/10 book them now!!!!!!!

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.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Ariel at a wedding and I must say it was a fun and enjoyable experience. From start to finish, his clear communication ensured seamless coordination, allowing us to brainstorm ideas effortlessly. Ariel's creative vision and professionalism shone through in every aspect of his work, evident in the high quality of the final product. It's evident that he genuinely cares about the couples he works with, and this dedication is reflected in exceptional results. Working with Ariel is a decision you won't regret!

We had the best wedding experience we could have ever dreamed of at the Minneapolis Marriott Southwest! It was a perfect location, free parking, plenty of rooms, the food was amazing and people were all so nice and accommodating! Our built-in wedding coordinator, Andrea, was AMAZING!!! It was clear to us that she loves weddings, planning parties, loves love, and she took the best care of us to make sure our special day was perfect; she is truly a lovely wonderful person! She was quick to respond to all of my questions (even repeat questions), she went above and beyond in all aspects of helpfulness, including helping us stay in budget, bringing our gifts up to our room while we were having the time of our lives, ensuring everyone and everything was where they needed to be when they needed to be and all the small details I didn't think of! Everything went smoothly, all the staff were friendly and wonderful and all of my guests commented to me and my husband about how it was the best wedding they had ever been to, the food was the best wedding food they've ever had and that the venue was perfect!! Definitely consider using this venue if you're looking for an all-in-one perfect place where you can have your wedding, rehearsal, reception and have a place for your guests to sleep over and not drink and drive :) Perfection!!! I am beyond grateful for such a beautiful experience.

They were incredibly helpful in organizing the timeline for the day and coordinating with our other vendors, ensuring everything ran smoothly.

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 a wedding photographer, I've experienced the impact vendor communication has on the overall perfection of a wedding day. I have had several opportunities to work along side Tyler Herwig and even though our wedding day roles are different Tyler's professionalism and attention to detail spills out inspiring everyone involved to go above and beyond. Knowing that Tyler is keeping guests entertained during happy hour helped my bride and groom relax while we took some time for a few post ceremony photos. Tyler easily makes the switch from ceremony accompaniment to happy hour melodies to filling the air with that perfect love song as the bride and groom dance their first dance. I highly recommend Tyler Herwig to create that perfect 'soundtrack' for your special day.

As a master hair and makeup artist, I’ve crafted captivating looks for brides and wedding parties showcasing my expertise in creating diverse styles for a range of clients. My artistry not only enhances natural beauty but also reflects adaptability and creativity, making me a sought-after professional in the beauty industry. I am addicted (in a very delightful and rewarding way) to the feeling and vibe of happy wedding parties. Creating hair and make up artistry not only creates confidence and joy but also adds to the special atmosphere of the occasion. Creating special moments and long lasting beautiful photos is something I live for.

Jennifer Adler is a true genius! I have been a Client of hers for years including eyelash extensions, getting professional makeup done, and hair appointments. When I was planning my wedding, I only had one name in mind and I was just HOPING that she was going to have openings and was so happy that she did! Not only did she do an incredible job on my hair and makeup (I truly felt stunning), she also made my mom, niece, and bridesmaids feel stunning as well! Jennifer was communicative, easy to collaborate with, and is so exceptionally talented. I didn't have any worries or concerns that I would look beautiful on my wedding day. I would recommend Jen to ANYONE! She is the epitome of both professionalism and fun!

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.

Heather Hanson Wedding Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Hamel, MN

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.

Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!
