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.

Trisha is committed to providing an incredible Xsperience with AMAZING photos! She's so kind and patient which makes you feel comfortable to be yourself. Highly recommend Xsperience Photography!!!

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!

These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey.

We did our engagement photos downtown Chicago and the riverwalk was PACKED. I was worried we’d have strangers photobombing everything. He managed to angle us just right so the crowds look like intentional motion blur. A couple shots are a bit soft because we were moving fast, but we love them anyway. Super friendly and made us feel comfortable right away.

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
We had a wonderful experience with Jessica Knighton Photography. Even though we booked last minute, Jessica was kind, communicative, and incredibly helpful the whole way through. She went above and beyond—helping coordinate the location and even providing beautiful florals. Our wedding photos turned out absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!

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.
