My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cross Lake Media went above and beyond to make our entire engagement seamless. Meredith highlighted our interests during engagement pictures. She met with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything was in order. Her and Shawna kept us on our schedule on the wedding day. Her editing is phenomenal. She lets the natural beauty shine, while adding her artistic style to each picture. She cared for us as a couple, not as “Just another client.” 10/10 recommend!

Floret & Foliage 

4.0

  • Florist
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Brainerd, MN

Welcome! I am Allison! The Badass Behind The Flowers. The official flower handler of Floret & Foliage. I live in Wahpeton, with my bearded husband, Jesse; two dogs, Ruxin, Penny, and three cats, Dottie, Kit, & Lewis affectionately known as Poopis. I rarely brush my hair, and it is almost always in a ponytail or a bun, and probably a different color than the last time you saw me.

Allison absolutely nailed our wedding florals! After giving her (probably too many) ideas and visions and descriptions of what we hoped our wedding florals would look like, she somehow knew my vision and my dream way better than I ever did - and I was totally blown away on our wedding day. I 1,000% trusted her through every step of every process - as she is a professional and has tons of experience and quite simply just has an eye for florals. She is SO talented. I was never worried - and never questioned our decision to partner with her on our wedding day, not once. We got several compliments from our friends and family, too. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful work she did for us.

Hey there! My name is Tara, and I'm the creator of Flowers Of The Press. I ran around forests and gardens with my mother, looking for flowers to press between books.

Our designs showcase the airy, wild, and beautiful flowers Mother Nature has given us! We believe that flowers can hold onto memories, so we're here to help you hold onto your flowers forever.

The magic of our day was captured perfectly, she knows just how to get those little in between moments that you would miss in the blink of an eye without her there.

Beginning with our engagement photos, to our recent five year anniversary pictures (with some other milestones in between, we have continued to work with Jenny because of that magic), we have looked to JCPV to capture the times we treasure the most. Communication is so easy with them, it’s really a weight off your shoulders when planning for such a huge event, it becomes one less stressor.

The Lake string Quartet was so easy to work with they were so seamless coordinating with me, the officiant, and my coordinator. I told them everything that I wanted, and they gave me so much more. My one recommendation to anyone is have your handful of songs that you really want played by the string Quartet, but then trust the experts to also pick out songs that they would recommend. What I did was I provided them a list of songs that I really wanted to hear and then let the experts do what they do best and pick out whatever song they thought would match the vibes from the guests.

Hi, I’m Toly Dzyuba, a Minneapolis based wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing love stories across Minnesota. From the scenic shores of Lake Superior to charming rustic barns in the countryside, and elegant celebrations in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. My approach is all about blending the beauty of each location with the raw emotion and joy of your special day, creating timeless, authentic images that truly reflect who you are as a couple, infused with purpose and soul. Let’s create something beautiful together.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Toly to photograph our wedding! From the moment we stumbled upon his portfolio, we were captivated by his ability to capture moments with such precision and artistry. His photos struck us as vivid, photorealistic memories that truly reflect how we perceive things in person. Unlike other photographers who we felt were over-editing or altering the natural beauty of a moment, Toly's choices in terms of setting, lighting, and editing style really capture those true vibrant colors while keeps everything authentic and timeless. Our first meeting with Toly for a consultation confirmed our choice. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. His pricing was competitive and flexible to fit any budget or event. We did our engagement photos with him, and the results were perfect. That helped us get used to being photographed and find the poses we loved, and Toly delivered the photos quickly so we could use them for our save-the-dates. Closer to the wedding, Toly was a pro at helping us plan the big day, making sure the time and place was right for the portraits to get that perfect natural lighting. His scheduling helped put us at ease that he'd be able to capture all of those key moments, and that we could make sure everyone knew exactly when and where to be for formal photos. During the wedding itself, he was a calm, reassuring presence who organized the big photos really efficiently and professionally, and just captured every little moment perfectly without us needing to worry about a thing throughout the day. Toly is also just a great guy. There was even a moment of crisis (unbeknownst to me at the time) when my wife Katherine had trouble with the zipper on her wedding dress, and Toly was the only one able to fix it! His quick thinking and support were beyond what we could have asked for. Now, as we look back on our wedding day, we have over 800 breathtaking photos that bring back all the emotions, joy, and beauty of that special day. Toly, thank you for everything—you truly made our day unforgettable, and we can't recommend you enough! To anyone reading, my advice would be to just take a look at his portfolio, and set up a consultation ASAP! My wife and I plan to use him for all of our photo sessions going forward.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Hello there. I’m Andi Jo, but you can just call me Andi. I am blessed to be married to the hardest working, not to mention most attractive, concrete finisher around. As cliché as it sounds I find true beauty in everything around me. Yes, I mean EVERYTHING. Even snotty kid noses. I have an obsession for capturing real and raw moments that are both timeless and elegant. I live for the moments that aren’t rehearsed or posed. I love to spend time with my clients and make sure our bond is as strong as super glue. I cherish my brides and groom and always consider them my friends, not just a random face spending their wedding day with them.

Andi was amazing during the entire process. We had her do our engagement photos and our wedding session. She even helped set up the reception when the location didn't have it done. She is the best!
