We had not one, but TWO other DJs cancel on us. We were getting deflated, frustrated, and losing money on DJs that would take our deposits and run. We even tried a "popular" service to find, it was a horrible match. The other, took outlr deposit and never spoke to us again. So for the 3rd try, (sadly shoulda went with them first) we called back these guys. We did check them out at first, but we're convinced cheaper was better. Nope. We learnt a lesson, a hard lesson. DJ Sound and Luke took us in battered, beaten, feeling defeated, and turned it all around. The planning with then made us feel at ease, and comfortable, and safe. They got our ides onto the forms, and the DJ was outstanding. It's like he knew our families and had the perfect songs picked and played. I'm not sure how they do it....but every time I reied to get off the dance floor, I had to turn around and gat back on because another awesome song was starting to play. Because I was on the dance floor all night with my friends, I missed some family connections, but I don't care, I'll see them at the holidays......it was MY night! DJ Sound taught me a few things. Patients, that great isn't cheap, and cheap isn't great, and that actually, they they were able to show my and my fiance love when we were beat down, hopeless, and discouraged. No jusgement from them, not even any talk about the other guys, they just hit the ground running. This company and all their employees are a blessing and we couldn't be more thank full. Highly recommend, but most of all, thank you for everything, it was an epic day.....just like you guaranteed!

Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a wedding is such an incredible time in your life! We are a husband and wife photographer team for weddings, so you'll get twice the laughs while taking photos and the peace of mind knowing we are helping you keep your day on schedule with all your planners! Being married with two kids of our own, we completely understand the craziness of the wedding world. We want to help make everything on your big day as exciting and as magical as you've envisioned since you were a child! We believe that two is better than one.

We could not have had a better photography experience at our wedding! Teagan was our main photographer with her husband as our 2nd photographer. They work so well together and everything ran smoothly. Teagan was fun, friendly, and connected with our group perfectly. We had a bounce house at our wedding and she got right in there take photos in it! We did have issues with our DJ, and Teagan made sure to advocate for us and our schedule to make sure the evening flowed perfectly. We cannot thank her enough for that! We met with her prior to the wedding to finalize details and the schedule, and she made sure to incorporate everything we wanted, even giving suggestions we hadn’t thought about and loved! We love looking back on our photos and cannot thank her enough for how perfect they turned out!

She clearly took the time to understand our vision and priorities for the big day.

Where do I even begin? We were a wedding that needed to reschedule during the pandemic. Our original photographer couldn't do our new date. We found Neil and Erica - we didn't even meet them in person until our wedding day. I felt like we had known them our whole life. They are very personable and go with the flow. They knew exactly what they're doing. The pictures turned out AMAZING and we got them back very quickly. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer. I know we will use them again in the future!

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.

Keighla's Fresh Face Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Elk River, MN

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Keighla was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I stumbled upon her work online and was immediately struck by how beautifully composed her photos were—full of texture, light, and balance that felt intentional and artful without ever feeling staged. From our very first interaction, she was reassuring, organized, and professional in a way that gave me so much confidence. Her packages were transparent, flexible, and thoughtfully designed—we especially loved that our engagement session was included (and turned out so beautifully, we used the photos everywhere from our wedding website to table decor). The engagement session was the first time we met her in person, and it confirmed everything I hoped: Keighla just gets it. She understood our vibe and the space we chose and made us feel instantly comfortable. I left that day already trusting her vision. On the wedding day, that trust only deepened. She was incredibly sensitive to some personal family dynamics and made sure my husband and I always felt prioritized and seen. Her timeline suggestions kept the day flowing naturally—and far better than the original version we’d created. Once the formal portraits were done, she practically disappeared into the background, capturing so many candid moments with grace and creativity. We had ping pong and pickleball at our reception (not exactly easy to photograph), and somehow she caught those fast-paced moments with such clarity and joy—they’re some of our favorite images. Receiving our gallery was like getting to live the day all over again. The turnaround was quick, and the photos moved us deeply. I’m usually reserved and self-conscious, but she made me look and feel beautiful. Even images from parts of the reception I missed feel like precious windows into moments I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. One favorite: a photo of my cousin mid-return in a wild ping pong rally. Another: everyone admiring the back of my dress. And I’ll never forget the idea to take portraits in front of a blooming crab apple tree—it’s led us to keep a sick tree in our own backyard, just because those blossoms now mean so much to us. Keighla is an exceptional blend of artist and professional. Her time management, communication, and people skills are as strong as her creative vision. If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding in a way that feels personal, artistic, and truly you, I can’t recommend her enough. She doesn’t just take wedding photos—she tells the story.

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!!

Kyra was the BEST choice to capture our big day!!! She was a joy to be around - making my partner and I laugh and feel comfortable. We even have guests comment on how awesome she was! Her work is incredible. We loved our engagement photos and the ones from our wedding SO much, we gave her an idea of what we liked and she DELIVERED! We event received sneak peak photos just a few days after our wedding! She is incredibly LGBTQ friendly and conscious which meant the world to us.

I photographed my first wedding at the Jerome last winter. It was such a unique space! I'd love to return!! The exposed brick and black accents were great inside the venue. I also thought the big windows at the front of the building gave good opportunities to get some indoor, natural light photos in the cold winter. The wedding party used an airbnb in town that was perfect for getting ready. I love when small businesses work together like that for a couple!

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

Hi, I’m Libby! I’m a laidback photographer who loves capturing real moments and genuine connections. Whether it’s a wedding, engagement, or elopement, I’m all about creating photos that feel like you. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring the outdoors, eating pizza, being cozy with my husband and pets, or planning my next adventure!

Libby Aos Photography is absolutely fabulous! From the very first interaction, Libby was warm, friendly and made us feel completely at peace. Her communication style is top-notch, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure our engagement was captured perfectly. The quality of her work is simply stunning - the photos are cinematic, strong, and absolutely gorgeous. Libby made us feel like models, teaching us how to pose naturally. She's a true genius behind the camera, and the final photos exceeded our wildest expectations. We still have family members raving about how beautiful the photos turned out.

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Nicole definitely understood us, our venue, our guests.... She did an amazing job hustling throughout her time with us to get the shots we had on our list, and lots of amazing other pics. Our venue had beautiful architecture and Nicole did a great job taking advantage of the incredible backdrop. She was easy to work with and had our pics ready two weeks after the wedding. I have a photography background so my bar on our wedding pics was pretty high. Nicole over achieved.
