Their communication style was fantastic, and we felt at ease working with them every step of the way.

Trisha puts her heart and soul into this business. She loves bringing out the best in people, making them feel comfortable, and showing them how absolutely perfect their own little story is in this big ole busy world. She craves adventure, loves to travel and believes the prettiest pictures are captured on film because they are real and perfectly imperfect. She can't decide if she wants to be an adventure photographer or a fine art wedding photographer so she combines the two styles and makes it her own.

Xsperience Photography is fast, professional, and has a detailed communication style that will put any wedding couple at ease. Her superior, authentic, emotional, and one-of-a-kind photography work exceeded all of our expectations. Trisha captured the special moments that we didn't even know needed to be captured, focusing not on posed pictures but on the genuine experience of our wedding day and the authentic, candid moments that highlighted the love between us and our family. We are forever grateful for Xsperience Photography's incredible work that allowed us to relive our special day through stunning and heartfelt photographs.

Tim Larsen Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Brainerd, MN

Writing an about me page is a terribly revealing experience! Who takes the time to think "Who am I?" or "How would I describe myself to other people?" The temptation is to brag and be pretentious in order to convince you that I'm important, but instead I looked at my life and made some amazing discoveries. My life revolves around people. I love people. When I need to make a decision the people that it will affect are always the number one priority.

Tim was absolutely the right choice for our wedding weekend! He made an effort to get to know everyone, he was punctual, focused, and kept us on track - all while having fun! He came with ideas and knew how to get the perfect photos! He delivered sneak peeks within days of our wedding and the full album before even a week had passed!

When you become my client, you become my friend. I'll be your photographer, but I'm also your hype girl and biggest fan. I'll fix the lipstick smudge before you can even ask, I can even sew a rip in a wedding dress before you walk down the aisle (yes, I am speaking from experience!), and you can catch me on the dance floor at your reception.

Lexi was the best decision we made! From our chilly engagement session to the wedding day, she made us feel at ease and guided us through everything with warmth and humor. She captured every moment—both big and small—with care and creativity. She even surprised us with printed Polaroids on the day, which was so special! Her photos are stunning, and we truly love them all. Lexi is talented, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to work with!

George Street Photo & Video were an amazing company to work with for photographing my wedding!! Coordinator was very communicative and helpful for whatever I may need or want. Even went through what different packages include, what would most likely work best for what I’d like, and lists of photographer’s portfolios while also giving recommendations based on what I had described being desired styles I was looking for in photos. The price was budget friendly while also providing quality service. My photographer was Ron and he did a beautiful job for both the engagement shoot and wedding day shoot. He was very professional, kind, and flexible throughout both days as well as ensuring that my husband and I captured everything we wanted for our getting ready, first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, family, you name it!

Jessica Knighton Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Brainerd, 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).

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac’s 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.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it!
