The Hilton Minneapolis/Bloomington was an incredible venue for our wedding block. From the moment we booked, their communication was prompt, clear, and quick - they were so responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. The quality of their work and overall value was amazing. The venue itself was beautifully clean and had such an aesthetic look and feel. They went above and beyond for our special day, even providing complimentary champagne at check-in for our guests and an amazing shuttle service. While it was an expensive venue, it took so much stress away on the wedding day and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an incredible location for hosting our wedding block and getting ready morning.

  • Classic style

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

From our first conversation with Cori at CNK Photography, we knew we had found the right fit. She was quick to respond to our questions and gave us detailed guidance that helped us feel confident about our wedding day. Cori helped us plan out our timeline, but what really impressed us was how she stayed flexible when things didn't go as planned—she kept everything on track and made sure we didn't miss a beat. Her eye for positioning people is incredible, and she always knew exactly where to place everyone to capture the best shots. The photos she delivered are breathtaking and show so much attention to detail. We couldn't be happier with CNK Photography and highly recommend Cori to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their day.

Jessica Knighton Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Bloomington, MN

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).

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend working with Primped for your bridal party. I hired them to do hair and makeup for myself, my mom, my mother-in-law, and five bridesmaids. Our artists for the wedding day were Jamie A (head stylist), Christine O, and Danielle S. Primped was responsive to all communications, sent quotes for services in a timely manner, and kept me informed about any changes. They were also proactive about asking follow-up questions whenever something needed clarification. I did a bridal hair and makeup trial with Jamie A several weeks before my wedding. She asked me to send inspiration photos for my wedding look, and despite the influx of AI-generated content on Pinterest these days, we were able to capture the essence of what I wanted. It was nice to meet her in person before the wedding, and I appreciated the opportunity to give feedback on my look and share how it held up throughout the day. She took detailed notes on what to adjust for the wedding day. I was initially apprehensive about doing a hair and makeup trial, but I’m so glad I did—if you can afford it, I highly recommend it. On the day of the wedding, the entire team arrived at the Van Dusen Mansion 15 minutes early to set up and spent four hours with us. Everyone was happy with their hair and makeup, and the artists provided minor touch-ups toward the end of their time to ensure we were photo-ready. I loved everyone’s final look. I was especially concerned about my elderly mother-in-law, who has short hair and a very particular way she prefers it styled, including a blowout. Jamie was incredibly accommodating and executed it perfectly. This meant a lot to me because I wanted her to be fully included in the getting-ready process. She looked stunning. Thank you for everything!

The venue and staff were incredibly professional, organized, and helpful from start to finish. I planned my wedding from another state, which can be overwhelming, but Will made the process smooth by guiding me through every step and keeping me on track with clear communication and organization. The food was absolutely fantastic. Many of our guests commented on the generous portions and amazing flavor, my husband and I were actually able to sit down and enjoy the meal. The team was also very accommodating with dietary restrictions and flexible in helping us stay within our budget. The venue itself is stunning, with high ceilings and exposed brick that create a timeless, elegant atmosphere. The only challenge we experienced was during the unloading process. Since we brought in many of our own items, unloading had to be done directly on the street, which was hectic and involved stopping traffic and dealing with frustrated drivers. This could be difficult for couples doing a lot of DIY decor, though it likely wouldn’t be an issue if vendors are handling setup and breakdown. Aside from this logistical challenge, we had an overall wonderful experience.

Brookview as a wedding venue is a hidden gem. The location is absolutely perfect: centrally located in the twin cities, stunning surroundings with the golf course and great indoor/outdoor facilities for ceremony and reception. Kailyn was so easy to work with, super responsive for all our questions and very organized. We used the onsite restaurant three one six as our caterer. Anna was also great to work with and all guests loved the food. Highly recommend to consider Brookview as your wedding venue!

Eric Turner Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Bloomington, MN

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. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!
