Since 2011, I've been capturing all kinds of love. I work with you to bring your dream vision for your wedding day to life, and to make sure it's captured in a timeless way that you can look back on for decades to come. I work with you to capture photos that are authentic to you and your story, while also ensuring that you are comfortable and having a great time! I don't just want to be your photographer - I also want to be your friend and someone you can trust and connect with during the biggest moments of your life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Devyn was amazing throughout the entire process! We were so happy with all the photos (which she delivered in record time) as well as her presence at the wedding. She had the ability to blend in and I never felt like there was a camera in my face, which was very important to me. However, she didn’t miss a single shot and captured moments that I didn’t even know she was around. We are a bit stiff, but she was incredibly warm and friendly and helped us loosen up for formal portraits. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a discrete, creative and reliable photographer.

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for the past 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time. My current active markets are Minnesota and New York, but I'm available to travel anywhere in the US and the world for additional fees!

I was able to book Emilee at short notice, and found her to be efficient, professional, and very easy to work with. We came up with a shot list, but she had a good eye in terms of suggesting ways of capitalizing on the venue and working with the space in real time - her confidence in directing us made me feel comfortable and natural. Our pictures came out beautifully, in what I feel is record time compared to my peers’ experiences with photographers, and now have our happiest moments with friends and family captured for us to look back at in the future. Would highly recommend!

At Studio Twelve:52, we believe your wedding day deserves to be captured as authentically and vibrantly as you experience it. 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. Serving Minnesota and beyond — we combine a 50/50 fine art approach with a documentary eye to capture every joyful, heartfelt, and beautifully unexpected moment while creating stunning portraits as well. 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

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.

The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

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!!

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

There are so many reasons why I love weddings: I love all of the little details, the way you get to express who you are as a couple, and the excitement of capturing your special day! My job as a photographer is to witness your story. I realize your story is unique to you and your fiancé. Your story doesn't stop at the wedding, it continues to grow and blossom with every change in life. That's why I want to focus on getting 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.

Would give 6 stars if I could - Tonya is truly incredible. Not only did we love her for her attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond at our engagement shoot & wedding, how she made us feel comfortable, her efficiency (we got to enjoy our wedding and not spend hours taking pictures, but still have every shot we want!) - but our family and friends even commented on how lovely she was! Talent, kindness, thorough, communicative, collaborative with us and our vendors - I cannot recommend Tonya enough! She impressed me from the start when I met with her for our consultation and she had a presentation of the packages, recommendations, and even a sample timeline. Thank you Tonya 3

When you become my client, you become my friend. I'll be your photographer, but I'm also your hype girl and biggest fan. I'll fix the lipstick smudge before you can even ask, I can even sew a rip in a wedding dress before you walk down the aisle (yes, I am speaking from experience!), and you can catch me on the dance floor at your reception.

Lexi was the best decision we made! From our chilly engagement session to the wedding day, she made us feel at ease and guided us through everything with warmth and humor. She captured every moment—both big and small—with care and creativity. She even surprised us with printed Polaroids on the day, which was so special! Her photos are stunning, and we truly love them all. Lexi is talented, thoughtful, and an absolute joy to work with!

We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

From the moment we first reached out to Boxcar Photography, their communication style was open, supportive and professional. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing - their talented team captured so many special candid moments that we didn't even witness ourselves, helping to create lasting memories for everyone in attendance. Boxcar Photography was amazingly supportive throughout our wedding day, keeping everything running smoothly without any pressure. They are an exemplary team of photographers who are truly undervalued for the exceptional service and beautiful work they provide. We couldn't be happier with the photos from our special day.

I'm an easy-going, adventure loving photographer, who loves that my job means meeting so many new people and giving them memories to keep. If you like having fun during your wedding day or session, and aren't afraid to showcase what makes you YOU, I'm your girl!

Hey there, I'm Rachel! I'm the lady behind the lens and the passion behind the story. I like backpacking on the North Shore, dreaming up my next travel plans, and picking up a good book before I have time to finish the last one. I have two dogs that know all the commands but do whatever they want to on a regular basis, and they are my couch buddies for nights when I settle in with a glass of wine and an episode of Friends! I’m a foster parent and I’ve been riding that rollercoaster since December of 2020. My life is never boring and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
