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!!

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Keighla, her photos, and her work quality are the BEST! From the start, she is super responsive - the first sign of a quality vendor. Then throughout the planning process, she guided us through our day of timeline and logistics with ease, giving us tips and guidance on all things wedding. We were okay not taking engagement photos until Keighla suggested that we do them in order to get comfortable in front of the camera and meet her before our wedding day. So smart! We loved taking those photos and are so happy we have them forever and it was so much fun getting to know each other. Keighla is your biggest photo hype girl when she’s behind the camera and she makes you feel so comfortable. She will keep your day on track and will be by your side from getting ready to dance floor and everything in between. When we got our photos back, we swooned over them! We still do to this day. She captures the best moments in the most beautiful way. Recommend Keighla’s Fresh Face Photos 100%!

Jessica Knighton Photography 

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Minnesota

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

On the wedding day itself, Rachel blended into the background, capturing the laughter, tears, and joy. When we received our photos, we were blown away. Each picture tells a story, from the little details to the big emotions. Rachel captured the essence of our day perfectly. We can’t thank Rachel enough for her talent and dedication.

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. 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. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

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.

Our experience with Adrian and her wedding photography was outstanding. From our first meeting, she helped guide us and felt like an unofficial wedding planner. We loved her artistic approach to photography and attention to detail. As a couple not known for their modeling skills, Adrian made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The moments she captured felt genuine, not staged. She was so attentive to us during our wedding day, anticipating our needs before we even knew what we needed! Adrian was able to tactfully guide a room of busy, jittery people and kept us all on schedule. Be reassured that if you book Adrian for your wedding, you will be taken care of and get amazing photos in return!

As a married photography duo with over 14 years of experience and 600+ weddings documented, we specialize in creating true-to-life/timeless imagery that tells your unique love story. Serving Minnesota and beyond — we combine a 50/50 fine art approach with a documentary eye to capture every joyful, heartfelt, and beautifully unexpected moment while creating stunning portraits as well. Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

WOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique.

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

With a love of serving chic and down-to-earth couples and families, I founded Julia Jacobs Photo in 2021. I believe in capturing raw emotion and beautiful details to create a gorgeous, timeless gallery you'll love to look at 50 years from now

Julia Jacobs photo was top notch. We had a fantastic experience working with Julia throughout our session. She was attentive, professional, and understood what we were going for. She was quick to deliver our gallery and we love the final product!

Authentic moments are what set our hearts on fire! We strive to capture you exactly as you are and bring out your personality. Think of us as your best friends that you haven't gotten to meet yet - we are known for dancing with our couples at receptions, snuggling babies to get a few solo pictures of the parents, and becoming lifelong friends with our seniors. We cannot wait to meet you!

Kyra was the BEST choice to capture our big day!!! She was a joy to be around - making my partner and I laugh and feel comfortable. We even have guests comment on how awesome she was! Her work is incredible. We loved our engagement photos and the ones from our wedding SO much, we gave her an idea of what we liked and she DELIVERED! We event received sneak peak photos just a few days after our wedding! She is incredibly LGBTQ friendly and conscious which meant the world to us.

Jessica photographed our “engagement” and wedding photos. She is an amazing photographer and is great to work with. She made Parker and I feel comfortable and relaxed during both of the sessions. Jessica brought in a second photographer for our wedding, and they captured SO MANY beautiful moments from our special day. Jessica’s work is just breathtaking, and I could not have asked for a better photographer!

The BEST DAY OF YOUR Life! Your wedding day is so special; you might never have all the people that you love all together ever again. The day goes by so quickly that you don’t get to appreciate all the precious details you spent months planning. My goal as your photographer is to preserve the memories and details of your special day so you can re-live and share them for generations to come.

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 !!

Welcome!! We are Madison + McKenzie, best friends turned business partners and the heart behind Lavenderie Photos! Our story began back in 2017. What started as snapping photos of friends and family quickly grew into a full blown passion. Fast forward a year, and the two decided to turn their love for photography into something even bigger. Lavenderie Photos was born, and we’ve never looked back! Since then, we’ve had the absolute joy of photographing over 65 amazing individuals and couples. Every session is a celebration, and every love story feels like the first all over again.

Mackenzie was so kind from the first time I messaged to inquire about engagement photos! She delivered exactly what we wanted and even arranged for us to take photos at the coffee shop we had our first date at! It was so evident that she truly cared and wanted to make our experience nothing short of wonderful! We also got our photos back so quickly and were completely in love with them! I definitely recommend Lavenderie photos for any photography needs!!!

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Nicole was such an amazing photographer to work with! She was so easygoing and brought a lot of brilliant ideas to our wedding that we never would've thought to do ourselves. We'd love to work with her again someday!
