I am a Duluth, Minnesota wedding and engagement photographer and I travel all throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin photographing weddings! I am for the couples who are wildly in love, who have a little adventure in their hearts, and who are crazy about unposed, authentic photographs that they will look back on for eternity.

Ashlyn was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style is warm and responsive - she was always quick to answer any questions we had leading up to the big day and helped put us at ease. The quality of Ashlyn's work is just beautiful. She has an eye for capturing emotional, passionate moments and every photo has a peaceful, calming feel to it. On the wedding day itself, Ashlyn posed us perfectly, calmed our nerves when things got hectic, and was by our side for every important moment. She's a breath of fresh air and has a way of making you feel comfortable and relaxed even as the craziness swirls around you! Ultimately the photos turned out exactly as we had envisioned thanks to Ashlyn's flexibility with our timeline and desired photo locations. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer and highly recommend her services!

How Sweet It Is Cakes

  • Cakes & desserts
  • Serves Makinen, MN

I graduated from UW-Milwaukee with a Bachelor's degree in Printmaking. After graduation I moved to the Duluth area and after a few months was hired on by the previous owner of How Sweet It Is, Eileen Brown. I worked for her for a year and half and then took over the business as it's new owner in 2019. Little had I known when I first started the passion I would find for the work. Now at 26 I can't imagine having another career. I love the creativity I get to use from the starting process of baking to completing the cake with design. I get to spend my days utilizing my degree in ways I didn't imagine and enhancing my passion cake by cake.

Lila is one of the bests in the industry. She is so flexible to work with and delivers the best cakes each and every time. She is able to translate your vision flawlessly, and I have never heard one negative thing from any of our couples about her cakes. She is a joy to work with from start to finish each time, and we are lucky she is one of our vendors!

I am a musician (I have some stuff on Spotify LOL), I enjoy a nice cup of coffee and I love making videos!! For a typical wedding day, I offer one standard package that spans 9 hours of the day, which usually covers the whole day's events. My main focus throughout the day is getting shots for the highlights video (check out some examples of that). I also spend a great deal of time and care capturing the bigger moments of the day, such as the ceremony, the speeches, the first dances, etc. So my couples have tons of content to watch back. Check out my website for more details and let me know what questions you have :D

Noah, When I booked with you you not once asked for a price you truly deserve to receive. You worked beyond what we could expect. You captured us and our day. You put a focus on us and what our love is. You are flexible to work with. You are reasonable in your expectations and you are so incredibly humble. You continually work to better yourself in your abilities to film what is in front of you. I have no clue how you do it with the crazy schedule you have. Always professional yet a friend. Thank you for making our day perfect for years to come.

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

Flower Moxie was a great floral vendor. Their wide range of diy tutorials was very helpful, and our florist helped us form a vision for our wedding flowers. We were very happy with how our flowers turned out, and proud we could have a hand in diy-ing this aspect of our wedding.

We also didn't want to spend thousands of dollars on flowers that would only last a day. We stumbled upon wood flowers and discovered Wood and Word Blooms! Working with Jen was wonderful and seamless. She helps you every step of the way to figure out what you would like. The DIY class was so much fun, and we were able to build all of our centerpieces, boutonnières, and bouquets. Jen also built my cascade bouquet and beautiful garland for us! Everything came out so beautifully and was perfect for our day. Thank you Jen!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

I have been following Hannah Lee Photography on Instagram and the way she captures someone’s authentic self during a photo shoot made it so easy to book her for our wedding. It’s not just the typically wedding shots she captures, it’s also all the extra unexpected ones that make her photos magical, such as the photo she took of myself and my now husband looking over our shoulders at our son in the audience. She made this experience feel intimate and did everything to help us take fun photos without it being awkward. She was easy to communicate with and responded to all our ideas, even prior to our wedding. She listened to us and turned these ideas into candid moments captured forever for us to look back at. Also, the quality of these photos are stunning and perfect for the big prints I imaged on our walls. She went above and beyond for our wedding. Our wedding was at our house, and she captured the perfect moment of my dad and me walking down the aisle. The hard part of having a wedding at home, is that in photos such as this one, the side of the house was in the background, and she went above and beyond by photoshopping out the house and turned it into a magical green background that if you didn’t know better, you would’ve thought it was always that way. Thank you, Hannah, for making our intimate wedding come to life in these photos!

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.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

We are a husband and wife team photographing weddings since 2010. We're total geeks that love music and films. When not photographing weddings, we love playing with our dogs and cats, watching music videos, cartoons, and horror movies, and photographing other things.

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.

I looked at SO MANY wedding videos and they were all so similar and cookie cutter. They were lacking something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. THEN I FOUND JIMMY SHIN. I watched his videos and found myself sobbing at strangers videos! He made me feel like I knew the bride and groom after just 7 minutes. He's so good! Jimmy will take your wedding video and turn it into the most beautiful story. The video he made for us just so beautifully captured my husband and I's day! It's a video i'll cherish for the rest of my life. I can't wait for our kids to be able to watch it. UGH, seriously hire this man and you won't regret it. Best wedding money we spent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?viVAKZzODr6E
