The Hol Idea Productions

Cambridge, MN
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000

I am all here for making your photos look as natural as possible which means that I will give you direction that will lead to the natural action with out feeling stiff and posey. My inspiration is the raw, natural, and authentic moments during your session. I want you to be able to look back on these images and remember exactly what you felt. This means that you will be given a gallery that captures you, just as you are. We document your wedding day as it unfolds – with a photography style that is authentic, candid, intimate, and natural.

I have nothing but good things to say about Victoria and Nic! Their keen eye for detail, as well as their ability to immediately put you at ease, resulted in the most authentic professional photos I have ever received. The Hol Idea took my engagement and wedding photos, as well as videography, and they truly are the reflection of the two best days of my life. Looking at those photos sparks the exact feelings my husband and I shared in that moment, even years later, and that means everything to me. Everything felt easy and fun, and the results were nothing short of breathtaking. The Hol Idea will always be my first call for any future photography needs!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is one of the most caring photographers I’ve ever had. She really went above and beyond even before I booked her. She sent out a timeline of how my session was going to go and even send me suggestions of what to wear. Then came the session, she made me really comfortable in my own skin and made me giggle so much with her awesome humor. I was really worried about how I would look, but when I saw the photos I was so happy I almost cried! She got all my best angles and captured my true personality in those photos!! If you want someone that goes above and beyond, takes care of your needs, and is FUN to work with and captures your best angles, SHE IS THE ONE!!!

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

Had an amazing time working with Allie! She is super sweet and fun and gives very direct pose ideas which made the shoot so much easier for us. She listened to everything we wanted, was able to provide location suggestions, and was super flexible with us when we decided to push back our session because of weather limitations. Our engagement photos turned out so great, I can’t wait for the wedding photos!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: 15/10 -- She simplifies EVERYTHING about wedding planning AND takes the most beautiful photos I have ever seen. She will be taking our pictures for the rest of our lives. They are incredible. Kyra from beginning to end made everything absolute perfection. The pictures, my sanity, basically everything. We brought her to Crozet, VA for our engagement photos and our big day. Pre-Engagement get to know you session: We face-timed for 2.5 hours (not required just happened naturally). She cares about everything and anything you want to share and supports your vision. Engagement Session: She took the time (right after having a baby nonetheless) to come to us and make sure we were happy and comfortable in every way. Kyra got to know Dan (my husband) better and is the only person to this day that can make him smile naturally for pictures. Planning: Kyra provided anything and everything I needed or didn't know I needed. Refined/recommended timelines, pictures, hair styles, dresses, snacks for getting ready, laughter, you name it, she did it. If I had another vendor I needed a second opinion on, she reviewed their work. If I wasn't sure on chicken or crab cakes, she knew what would be a crowd pleaser. Basically she had wisdom and advice well beyond her years to accompany her incredible talent. Weekend of: Kyra and Heather came out early and scoped out the best locations for everything indoors and outside at the exact time the ceremony would be held to make sure the lighting was perfect. Day of: I would have fallen apart without her. Every picture she took was of real, candid, happy moments that my brain was too stressed to miss. When I ripped my dress, she and Heather whipped out sewing scissors to fix the problem. They kept the train moving and captured every moment beautifully. Best to have a photographer dancing with y'all to get the moment just right, and she does that. If I could give more stars I would.

Madison + McKenzie are best friends turned business partners. Since 2017, Mckenzie + Madison has photographer more than 65 individuals. In 2017, Mckenzie received a Canon Rebel T7 camera as a Christmas gift. This began the journey. As a senior, she was taking photos of other friends and family. One of these seniors included her best friend, Madison. Since then, they have been inseperable! About a year later, Mckenzie asked Madison if she would want to start a business together. Of course, Madison said yes.

My Husband and I found Lavenderie through Facebook and decided to go with them for our wedding in 2023. They were very affordable and their website and portfolio fit our style. They were very open and understanding to my ideas and what I wanted for my wedding. They brought their own ideas for the photos that I loved and ended up being my favorite ones! We decided to use them again for our maternity photos and they turned out amazing as well! Definitely a jack of all trades for any photo session you’d like to do! They know great places and are very easy to talk to if there’s something you’d like to change! Can’t wait to book my family photos sometime this year! Definitely recommend if you want a relatable, innovative, affordable photographer!

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Jasmine was AMAZING during our wedding. Not only did she take beautiful pictures, but she also was there with us for the whole process. She was always available to help give us advice for the small details. Jasmine was very professional the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to capture our perfect day. She is also wildly creative. We ended up taking some gorgeous pictures in an elevator in our venue! I would recommend Jasmine as a photographer any day!

I (Shauncey) have known Kasey and Tyler longer than I have known my husband - a crazy thought! Studio Twelve:52 has been my go-to pet photographer since I got my pugs. Fast-forward to our surprise engagement session - which Kasey and Tyler plotted the logistics with Cory - we knew we wanted to be sure they had availability on the weekend we selected for our wedding. Their portal makes connecting with them easy. And we really appreciated that they have a great experience, but are willing to go along with our vision - like taking pictures on a frozen lake! Kasey and Tyler are very genuine at the end of the day, regardless of photo session type - you can tell they love love, and that is absolutely reflected in their work.

Professional third wheel, people lover, incredibly loud singer, and consumer of too much popcorn and candy, in that combo. I'll sing & dance to just about any song, have approximately 12 shades of lipstick in my purse at a time, and take pride in drinking over a gallon of water a day… lol #hydrated. I’m obsessed with dogs and love booping their noses. Very blessed to have been running this business since I was 14 years old, and eagerly got my videographer husband, Scott on board once we got married in May 2018. Since then we've added 7 amazing associates to our team and are proud to serve clients well no matter what their day looks like.

Kiley is absolutely fantastic!  She shot our engagement photos and wedding.  She has a way of making you feel comfortable and natural so you look that way in the pictures.  She is so laid back, and helped keep the day stress free!  I would recommend her over and over again!

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.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

We connected with her through Facebook and she responded to us within the hour and had us planned for a sit down meeting the week following. She spent the entire day with our bridal party taking photos of hair and makeup to dance ending goodbyes. The photos were beyond words. She captured the special moments of the day in each and every photo.

My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for almost 8 years. I was drawn into weddings after shooting my first one and loving how fun it was to hang with people on their best day ever. They're surrounded by their family and friends and so much love and happiness. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I love so much, that it doesn't feel like work. I'm married to my favorite person in the world and we love to travel. We have 3 kids, one son in law and 2 little grand babies that we completely adore!

You don’t know it yet, but you need Julie. She is absolutely amazing. Stop your photographer search here and choose Julie. She makes you feel so comfortable and that you’ve know her for years. Her passion for photography does not go unnoticed. Julie’s photos are of high quality and we absolutely love the natural brightness of her edits, even on gloomy days. Julie was so so easy to contact, was flexible and literally took stress off my plate. I cannot thank her enough. She was a huge part of our big day and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. She’s like a personal attendant and photographer and best friend all in one. You need Julie. We cannot wait to work with her (and her husband and team!) again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We can honestly say that we made a new friend in our photographer. We booked Kristen early in 2019 and ended up knowing her for well over a year when our wedding was moved from May to Sept. Kristen helps make the planning process easier by offering advice, helping to recommend vendors, and being a calm, cool, and collected person able to handle whatever kind of challenge your wedding throws at her. She was a key component in me staying sane during the pandemic planning process and wasn’t afraid to speak up when she thought something might not work. She came to our wedding to make sure we would have fun and to keep the day 100% about us. She is so fun and easy to be around and did not ever feel like a stranger photographing one of the most important days of our lives. Her photographs speak for themselves and all of our images are beautiful. Her style is candid, gorgeous, and natural. We never felt overly posed and the portrait process was a breeze, especially with my husband who hates his picture taken. Her talent is amazing. Having a vendor that works with your day and fits in so seamlessly goes beyond any words I could say. Book her. You won’t regret it. <3

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

I hope to always bring that enthusiasm and fun to every wedding as well. I tell myself before every wedding to treat it like it was my very first. I do only weddings, and I only do 30 per year.

I opened my photography studio in 2009. I love working with people and making them happy with my pictures. I capture single special moments and entire stages of people’s lives, photographing all types of portraits – family, new born, maternity, fashion, business head shots, boudoir, engagement sessions, senior pictures and much more. I also shoot different events including, of course, weddings. My first professional photography job was being a second shooter at weddings, so, for me, wedding is the type of photography that I feel I was born to do. I enjoy shooting commercial and fine art photography as well.
