Hi! I'm Shara, and I absolutely LOVE weddings! My journey with flowers began in 2010 when I designed for my daughter’s wedding.

I believe that every wedding deserves the perfect finishing touch—especially when it comes to flowers!

I get energized by creative ideas and seeing those ideas executed perfectly!

Shara created the most beautiful, whimsical, and photo-worthy arrangements for our May wedding. Not only was her work stunning, but it was EXACTLY what we envisioned. I couldn’t have asked for better. Also, Shara’s process from the consultation to delivery and setup was seamless, convenient, and efficient. Her communication was open, quick, and detailed. I appreciated her so much as my florist and I’m so glad we got to work together to make my wedding day come to life!

We’re Dan and Alisha Amundsen, a husband and wife photography team from Ham Lake, MN. We met in 2007, and have been happily married since 2015. We enjoy traveling, home improvement projects, and parenting (most days!). We both have a background in digital media and photography, and started getting more serious about photography when we had our daughter in 2018. We got such great feedback about our photo work with our own daughter, and we wanted to help our friends and family capture memories and milestones. From there, Bella Cattura was born. In late 2019, we started shooting weddings, and found our ultimate passion in capturing love!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Bella Cattura for wedding photos and video! We absolutely loved the way our photos turned out and the video was amazing! Dan and Alycia were so great to work with (even during a pandemic) and very laid back but also kept the photos moving and planned ahead to ensure things went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Bella Cattura!

She took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we felt confident and comfortable leading up to the big day. Connecting with her was such a relief and I knew she was the perfect photographer for our day! On the wedding day, she was a calming presence and very professional. She helped everything flow seamlessly, working beautifully with the natural setting and guiding us through the photos without ever making it feel stiff or forced. Her creativity really shined in the way she used the outdoor light and scenery—our photos look magical! What meant the most was how she made me feel important, seen, and celebrated every step of the way. Her attention to detail, warm energy, and professionalism made such a difference. We couldn’t be happier with the photos or the experience of working with her.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a bit of a unique situation - the company I had originally hired to do my hair and makeup changed my artists THREE TIMES- the final time less than 10 days out from my wedding. Andi was incredibly sweet to step in after I let the original company go for lack of faith with only 10 days notice. Andi had wonderful detailed skin care and hair care instructions for me and my bridesmaids to follow as we were able, to make sure we would have the best application possible the day of. She was super professional, and I believe she mentioned she was trained in photo ready makeup, and oh boy can you tell from the photos! I had some trouble with my contacts in the middle of my session, and she was really patient while I sorted that out and she redid the work for that eye so that you could never tell. I had mentioned this might happen and she reccomended traditional makeup, so I could retouch it myself if it happened again. She can do either airbrush or traditional. She rolled with the punches and difficulties and I'm incredibly indebted to her and the other two artists who joined her to help me and my massive bridal party (8!) Get ready for the best day of my life. I felt stunning, and most importantly? I still looked like myself. She took into account every desire I had and talked me through her suggestions and processes. I have really really long hair and it was put through the ringer pre and post ceremony - we ran through the woods, we laid in grass, we went on a golf cart and it got tousled by wind, I cried a few times. I dont know how it managed to stay so pristine, but it all did :) I cannot recommend Andi enough- she was a calm, knowledgeable, and professional artist. I could never reccomend her highly enough.

Sam has created over 150 wedding videos since 2013, and Sarah is lead editor with her background in traditional art. We call ourselves Natural Media because our number one priority is to capture the natural feeling of your day. Planning a wedding is a big venture, but once the day actually comes, we find that the gravity of the day allows couples to be themselves more than any other time. We seek out whatever it is that makes you and your wedding unique and capture that feeling in your video.

Sam & Sarah are amazing! Not only are they friendly, professional, and responsive, but they are amazing at what they do. They arrived to our venue before we were able to and captured beautiful aerial shots with their drone, as well as shots of our reception space. They worked extremely well with our photographer and executed every request we had of them, plus much more! We received SO much content from them when it was ready for us. Rewatching all the videos they made was like reliving our day. They included voice overs from speeches in our main video as well, which was so great to hear the voices of a few of our wedding party members and parents. We are thoroughly impressed and forever grateful!!

With a million decisions to make for your event, it might be tempting to dial up the first search result for the event DJ in Minneapolis and hire them on the spot. The downside? Not every DJ is appropriate for every kind of event. If you’re hoping to plan a one-of-a-kind party with music catered to your theme and formality level, you’re going to want to find a special event DJ in Minneapolis with experience. Your event is special, and we think the person you select to DJ the party should be special, too!

We used Complete Weddings Events for photography and they were amazing! Ari walked me through the process every step of the way and answered my hundreds of questions every time. Deea edited our photos beautifully! We had Bryce do our engagement session and James did our wedding photos. They were both so chill and down to earth! They made us so comfortable and were so much fun, but still professional as well. They were both so great to work with and we still talk to both of them too! Complete was all-around wonderful to work with and we cannot recommend or thank them enough! :)

My approach to photography is personal and client-focused. I strive to understand your vision and goals for every shoot, ensuring that the end result not only meets but exceeds your expectations. With a keen eye for detail and a passion for perfection, I work tirelessly to ensure that each image is a reflection of the beauty and uniqueness of the moment. Join me at Creative Imagery, where we don't just take photographs; we create visual stories that are as unique and special as you are. Let's capture the beauty of your life's moments together.

I can't begin to tell you how truly happy we were to have had Markus capture the memories of our wedding. Honestly, we were very nervous about hiring someone that we didn't know at all, but from the very first moment that we spoke with him on the phone, we knew that he was going to be the perfect photographer for our special day. His genuine charismatic personality, combined with his talent and professionalism, enabled us to capture beautiful lifetime memories. Additionally, he has a special gift of making everyone feel extremely comfortable throughout the entire process. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone who's looking for a talented, fun, kind-hearted professional photographer.

“WHEN I’M BEHIND THE BOARD, MUSIC IS MY VOICE, MY WAY TO CONNECT WITH THE CROWD. WHEN EVERYTHING CLICKS, NOTHING BEATS THE SYNERGY THAT’S ACHIEVED.” That’s Steve’s favorite thing about being a DJ; the shared experience that comes with performing at events. Steve describes himself as “hands-on.” “I thoroughly enjoy playing the director’s role when doing these events. From the first announcement over the microphone until my ‘See ya!’ to send everyone home, there’s a lot of pleasure that goes with commanding the room. While these events are serious business, there’s nothing saying that you can’t have fun with it.”

Look no further if you want a DJ who will be fully invested in your wedding day. Steve takes the time to know every couple, their likes & dislikes and puts together a great mix for their day, but also makes sure the night itself is fun and kept moving! Never an empty dance floor with Steve in charge!
