Eric TurnerΒ PhotographyΒ

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flairβ€”meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

β€œEric was such a joy to work with. His creativity and eye for detail made our photos absolutely stunning. He has a way of making the whole experience feel natural and fun, putting us completely at ease in front of the camera. He captured our connection in such an authentic way. Nothing felt forced, just real moments full of love. We would absolutely work with Eric again in a heartbeat.”

β€œDevyn is absolutely amazing! She is so fun to work with. She effortlessly made me feel instantly comfortable, and she was so encouraging and wonderful throughout our whole shoot. I have a bigger body, so I was a little nervous going in, but I’m in LOVE with my galleryβ€” she really made me feel so beautiful and captured me in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She made me fall more in love with myself, and we had the funnest time together. We then did a very cool moody lights session together which I loved! She’s so great at communication, too! Any time I get to work with her, I know it’s going to be a great experience with beautiful results. I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time, and I highly recommend her for any of your photo needs!”

β€œWe had an incredible experience working with Chris for both our engagement session and our wedding day. From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation we had. For our engagement photos, he made the entire shoot so fun, especially because we were able to include our pets. They turned out beautiful. It was the perfect start to our wedding journey. On our wedding day, he was just as impressive. Not only was he punctual and professional, but he also took the time to review our shot list and make sure we stayed on schedule. We took photos before the ceremony and family photos afterward, and he worked so efficiently that we actually ended up early to our reception. We received 50 sneak peek photos by Monday, and they were absolutely stunning. We love that he gave us access to all of the photos he took- he gave them to us on a flash drive and gave us a drop box link so we could immediately share it with friends and family. One of our favorite parts of working with him is that we get to keep all the photos he took, not just the edited ones. It truly feels like we get to relive every moment of the day. With his experience (including having shot at both of our venues before), he made everything feel effortless. We never had to worryβ€”he knew exactly where to be, what shots to prioritize, and how to capture our day perfectly. We are so grateful we chose him and can’t recommend him enough.”

β€œI highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.”

Michelle HuberΒ PhotographyΒ

Cottage Grove, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

I believe every wedding deserves the absolute best, no matter what the budget. I am fortunate to have been able to work with some of the most wonderful and interesting couples over the 20 plus years that I have been photographing weddings. I am inspired by my couples, and always strive to grow and improve both as an artist and a human being-never stop learning and enjoying life to the fullest!

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œMy wife, Kristin, and I initially had engagement photos taken in Denver, CO. When Kristin began looking for a wedding photographer, she scoured for the best in Minnesota. The Knot led us to Michelle Huber Photography and her portfolio was spectacular. Fortunately, Michelle was available for our wedding date because her schedule was rapidly filling up. Despite having a set of engagement photos already taken, we could not turn down an opportunity with Michelle. I want to stress that her photography skills and abilities are magnificent. During the engagement photo session, her personality elevated the entire experience. It was as if we were working with an old friend. Michelle kept the experience lighthearted, she was patient when bystanders meandered into the shot, and never once did we feel as if the session was awkward. Needless to say, after the engagement photo session, we were excited to see her on the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, Michelle and her husband, Trent, are consummate professionals. Trent stayed with my groomsmen and myself, while Michelle was with Kristin and her bridesmaids. While Michelle deserves all the praise that she is due, Trent is on an equal plane. He captured wonderful in-the-moment photos and deftly staged everybody when it was necessary. Never once did I feel like he was an intrusion or the experience was inorganic. When the time came from the first look, transition to the ceremony site, and our numerous stops, Michelle and Trent did not miss a beat. The sheer amount of wholesome candid photos demonstrate their professionalism. We are still surprised at the details that we missed when we were in the moment. We are fortunate that Michelle and Trent captured these moments for us. I must recognize Michelle and Trent's flexibility. I am of Chinese-descent and my parents wanted to perform a tea ceremony prior to the actual ceremony. Michelle and Trent graciously made adjustments and captured this important moment for our families to experience. My family is grateful for their willingness to memorialize a family custom that was not highlighted on our itinerary. Overall, our experience with Michelle Huber Photography is phenomenal. My brother-in-law was impressed with the level of professionalism, quality, and skill, so he booked Michelle and Trent as well. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to work with them again. After that, my best friend/groomsman, Brian, also took my recommendation and booked Michelle. Every time I worked with them, the experience continues to raise the level of expectation for other professionals. We pick back up on old conversations and check-in on life changes. I am highly confident that other Minnesota/Midwest-based photography services cannot match Michelle Huber Photography. If you, the purveyor of professional services, want the best, do not hesitate to contact Michelle Huber. All other offerings will only disappoint and you will lament over what could have been with Michelle Huber Photogrphy. At this point, I am running out of marriage-ready friends to recommend but I will continue to shout their praises.”

β€œKerri Ann was communicative from the start of the whole wedding process. She helped us, as we were wedding planning, make a mock schedule of how the day could flow. She was always willing to go the extra mile for us. She accomendated us when we said we wanted our engagement photos in Duluth, Minnesota. We met with her a couple of weeks before the wedding to make a plan of all the different photographs we wanted as a couple and she was attentive and made notes to ensure we got all the photos we wanted for our special day. On our wedding day, Kerri and Ava, helped so much with us staying on schedule and getting all the photos we wanted. Ava helped get all the groomsmen photos while Kerri got all the bridal party ones. Having 2 photographers helped so much on the day of. We got our photos back really quickly and they all turned out amazing.

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

β€œFirst, 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!”

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.

β€œWOW, 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.

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
β€œFrom 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!!”

β€œEmily Doane Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day and engagement shoot. From the very first interaction, her communication was clear, complete, and responsive, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was worth every penny - the pictures and editing were simply gorgeous. Emily followed us around all day, capturing shots we didn't even think to request, and used a variety of techniques to ensure we had a wide range of beautiful options to choose from. Emily was so personable and friendly, and we'll definitely be using her services again for other big life events in the future.”

β€œWe are absolutely blown away by our wedding photos. Natalie did a fabulous job with everything from capturing the most gorgeous detail shots, to posing us in the most beautiful compositions, to photographing the emotional and joyous moments from our day. During the planning process Natalie provided really good guidance as we were working to finalize our timeline for the day. I am so grateful she weighed in because her suggestions really helped the day run smoothly. Her planning materials were also SUPER helpful to make sure I wasn't forgetting any key details. On wedding day Natalie and her second shooter showed up bright and early to get settled and went right into capturing gorgeous detail shots for us. Throughout the entire day she helped keep our photography schedule on time but never made us feel rushed. She was super attentive in giving us feedback when we needed to fix our hair or if something looked out of place. She did a great job checking in with us to see if we needed a break or if we wanted to make day of changes. As a type A person who was feeling all the feels on wedding day this was GREATLY appreciated! Natalie brought a calm but focused energy to our day and it really shows through all of our gorgeous photos. She captured every photo we were hoping for and hundred and hundreds more! We truly can't thank Natalie enough. I knew from the moment we booked her that we were in good hands! Her artistic eye and attention to detail really stand out. Thank you Natalie for capturing these memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. - AJ Walsh”

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

β€œWe had the absolute pleasure of working with Kayla for both maternity and newborn photosβ€” 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 awayβ€”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!”

β€œDanielle 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!”

β€œJasmine is incredible, which there isn’t quite a word adequate to describe her. She is fun, personable, and a bride’s champion. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured the vision I wanted. But, she was also the perfect hype woman and stood up for what I wanted. There’s truly no words to describe and express how glad I was to have her as my photographer.”
