Jeff Dose Photography 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love being out doors, visiting new places, and photographing people that are a little crazy for each other. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

My wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!

Adam Kennedy Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

We're Adam and MaryBeth Kennedy and together we make up the crew behind AKP. With over 15 years of experience photographing weddings, newborns, family portraits and everything in between, we’ve truly seen it all. Whether you're saying "I do" in a backyard, a lake country resort, or somewhere totally unexpected—we're here for all of it. We love what we do, and we’d love to do it for you.

Adam and MB are the absolute best. They photographed our fall wedding 2024 at the St Paul College Club, as well as an engagement photo session the summer in Minneapolis. They are transparent about pricing, and very generous with their time and attention to detail. All of our photographs are amazing. I’m not one for family photo sessions, etc. But Adam and MB are so fantastic that I plan to work with them in the future - just to keep them in our lives. We would give them 6 (or a hundred) stars if we could.

Awarded Best of Zola
I own a wedding venue and we do over 80 weddings per year. We see a lot of photographers each year and it is clear that there are people who own expensive cameras and then there are photographers. A true photographer has an eye for the right light at the right angle at the right exposure at the right focus at the right distance. Michelle is one of the true photographers. She does great work with a creative eye for detail. To top it off she is great to work with. Pleasant and professional with none of the arrogance. If you can get on her calendar, do it.

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

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

As a married photography duo with over 14 years of experience and 600+ weddings documented, we specialize in creating true-to-life/timeless imagery that tells your unique love story.

Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

WOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

I spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for. She exuded calm and was incredibly organized, her professionalism showing in every planning session and resource. She even provided a photography planning guide full of wedding day resources, tips, and vendor recommendations. On the day of our wedding, Natalie navigated my massive bridal party with ease, capturing every carefully considered detail and breathtaking wide-angle shot of every moment. We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. And then, while we were on our honeymoon, she surprised us only a few days later with stunning sneak peek shots! She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

We're Jasmine and Jacob Charbonneau, the creative couple behind Charby & Co. As lovers of life, we admire all the moments, big and small, that make up the stories of our lives.Jasmine has been capturing the raw emotion of wedding days and their love stories for over 8 years with artistry. Five years ago, she met Jacob Charbonneau, a visual storyteller with his first Emmy winning story just one year into his TV career. After winning his second Emmy, Jacob quit his TV job to film weddings full-time and we came together to make Charby & Co in 2023.

Where do I begin, Charby & Co is the most amazing photographer to work with. As me and my husband were planning our elopement we had no idea where to begin. We came across Charby & Co and I told her about the vision I had for our wedding elopement. She was very professional and she stayed in touch with me for months leading up to our big day. She was very insightful of the location we picked, and she had many recommendations for places near by during our stay. Charby & Co exceeded my expectations when it comes to her amazing, talented, beautiful work! I will forever be grateful that she was my photographer for one of the best days in my life. The entire experience was breathtaking and she made me and my husband so comfortable in front of the camera. She truly made our elopement so special and our pictures speak for themselves. The gallery of amazing work that was captured on our beautiful day, was a complete dream come true!! Charby & Co is truly one of a kind, and her work is extraordinary.

Hi, I'm Kayla — your go-to hype girl behind the camera. I’m not just your wedding photographer—I’m your built-in bestie, hype girl, and calm in the chaos. From fluffing your dress to fixing flyaways and cracking jokes when nerves hit, I’ve got you. I’m here to make sure you feel confident, relaxed, and totally yourself while capturing every moment—big, small, and everything in between. Your wedding day should feel as good as it looks, and your photos should reflect the real, joy-filled magic of it all. Let’s create something beautiful you’ll never forget.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kayla for both maternity and newborn photos— and we couldn’t be more grateful. At 39 weeks pregnant, I wasn’t feeling my most glamorous, but Kayla made me feel beautiful and comfortable throughout the entire shoot. She has such a calming, encouraging presence and a natural eye for capturing the sweetest, most genuine moments. They are photos I didn’t know I needed and they will be so special to look back on. When our son Charlie arrived, Kayla came back for his newborn session, and once again, she delivered the most stunning photos. She was so gentle and patient with him, taking her time to get the perfect shots while making sure he was cozy and content. The final photos truly took our breath away—timeless, heartfelt, and full of emotion. Kayla’s passion for photography shines through in every image. She captured moments we will cherish forever, and we’re so thankful to have these memories beautifully preserved. Jason (my husband) and I couldn’t thank her enough for sharing her talent with us during such a special time in our lives. Thank you, Kayla!

I love weddings. All of the little details, the way you express who you are as a couple + individuals, and the total excitement of being there to capture your special day! It means the world to me that you picked me and my job is to witness and document your story. Everyone’s story is unique to you + your fiancé. And your story continues to grow and blossom with every change in life, so I want to focus on taking photos that will stand the test of time. These photos are bigger than just the wedding day - they will be in hallways of homes, placed in photo books, and be passed down to future generations to be admired and have your story shared.

You'll be in good hands with Stef! She was fun and easygoing that made the entire photography process smooth! She also helped gather and direct our wedding party and guests for all the important photos. The final photos had great quality and perfectly captured the theme and feel of our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the work Stef did for our wedding!
