β€œAlan was easy to communicate with, easy to get ahold of, easy to make payments to. He’s super friendly and easily adapts to people and situations! I can’t say enough good things about him. Alan’s absolutely hilarious and so fun to be around. He showed up when I asked, he left at the end of the night and our wedding was about 2 hours away from his home base. He was EVERYWHERE taking photos of everything and everyone! I couldn’t believe it. I haven’t received my wedding photos yet but if they’re as good as my engagement photos, 10/10. ️”

I'm Hannah, a professional photographer based in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I'm thrilled to be part of your wedding journey. My photography style is all about capturing the romance and intimacy of your special day, focusing on those heartfelt, candid moments that make your love story uniquely yours. I have a deep appreciation for the little details that make your wedding day unforgettable, and I take great care to ensure they shine through in every shot.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œHannah first photographed our family when we were just starting out and wanted to have a cute baby announcement. She has now been photographing our family for 9 years, and she really is amazing. She manages to catch candid moments that show love and our natural personalities which are my favorite kind of photos. She never over edits, and I am always confident that the images will be ones that truly reflect our family dynamic. More importantly though, Hannah is an empath who understands neurodivergent brains. She is so patient with my boys who both struggle at times. She doesn’t judge, she can help prevent a meltdown, and knows when we might need a break or change. She cares deeply and that is always reflected in her work.”

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
β€œA few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.”

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œKeighla's Fresh Face Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Keighla's communication style was direct, thoughtful, and thorough, putting us at ease and making us confident that she would capture our special day perfectly. Her photographic work is truly organic, natural, and captivating - she had great ideas that incorporated and showcased the beauty of our venue as well as the love between my husband and I. Keighla's photos really captured the essence of our relationship, and we are thrilled with the final results. I would give Keighla's Fresh Face Photography a 10/10 recommendation to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer.”
