Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start?! We had Hanna Marie Events for our Day of Coordinator, Content Creation, and we also did the Wedding Management Package. If I could go back, I would do the same thing over again! From the very beginning, Hanna felt like a friend. She’s incredibly sweet, down to earth, and is truly there to support you in creating the best day of your life. On top of that, she’s very knowledgeable, organized, and can probably answer any question you’d ever have. Throughout the planning process, I always felt supported. Hanna responds quickly to emails and was always in my corner helping me make the right decisions when I had no clue what I was doing. There’s no way our wedding would have turned out so seamless and beautiful if it wasn’t for HME. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and beautifully. They were so on top of everything, they worked with the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, it couldn’t have gone better. Having them there took off more stress than I can explain, and instead of worrying about random things, we got to enjoy our day and take in each moment. Lastly, content creation! We opted out of doing a videographer and instead chose content creation with HME. Best decision ever!!! She captured all the moments, big and small. She captured details from the venue, our first look, ceremony, dancing, etc etc. Anything you’d want videos of, Hanna’s got it. It’s been so fun to reminisce on our day, and looking back at all the videos is the best part. Hanna captured once in a lifetime moments that came and went in an instant, but now we have forever. Thank you SO MUCH Hanna, Brooke Team. You guys are amazing!!!!!

Jessica Knighton Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica is the best. Hands down. Hire her immediately and never look back. She is a master of her craft. She was fun but professional, everyone loved her, and the photos are beyond anything I could have hoped for. We were not the easiest customers. First, our venue was a museum, not a wedding venue, so she had to be creative and work around a space not designed for weddings. Jessica was unperturbed. She considered everything: where the sun would hit, what time to be where, and how to account for different types of weather. At the end of the day, the photos look like they were not taken in a museum, but belong in a museum. Second, my husband does not like being in photos or having any attention on him whatsoever. When told to smile for the camera, he usually makes a face like he just smelled bad eggs. I do not know what kind of wizard Jessica is, but she is definitely magic. She put him at ease and managed to capture sincere, loving looks. Third, she indulged and hyped up all of my silly ideas, like our first look, which I did in an inflatable dinosaur costume. She reflected exactly the balance of quirky and classy I was going for in our photos. When I got engaged, I envisioned being surrounded by my closest, most cherished friends and family. I did not think about the fact that there would also be a virtual stranger there trying to catch it all on tape. Jessica and I spent almost the entire day together, and it was great. She managed to capture intimate moments without ever being intrusive, but she was not a wallflower either. She was helpful, fun, and truly a joy to be around, making a special day even more special.

My husband and I got married here in June and loved everything about it! The venue itself is perfect for smaller-medium size weddings and very affordable compared to other places we looked it. Also, most of our guest were coming in from out of town, so it was important to us to have a fun area with lots of restaurants and accessibility without a car. This location couldn't have been better. Gabby was so helpful with answering any questions and assisting us through our wedding planning. She even helped navigate the rehearsal since our coordinator couldn't be there. Overall, we can't recommend Watson Block enough for its price, aesthetic, and service!

From the moment we began working with FIVE Event Center, we felt supported, and that feeling only deepened on our wedding day. The space itself is stunning, with a romantic industrial feel that feels both elegant and warm, but what truly sets FIVE apart is the people. Robin and her team took an incredible amount of stress off our shoulders. They handled the flow of the day with such calm confidence that if anything was frustrating or unexpected, we never felt it. Their professionalism and quiet reassurance allowed us to stay present and actually enjoy every moment. We even had a last-minute oversight and forgot our cake cutting supplies - and somehow, without hesitation, Robin completely saved the day (and our photos) by magically having exactly what we needed. It was one of those moments that could have caused stress, but instead became a reminder that we were in the best possible hands. We had initially worried about parking, but it ended up being a non-issue - not a single guest mentioned it. Everything flowed smoothly, the space photographed beautifully, and our guests consistently commented on how welcoming, beautiful, and well-run the venue felt. We are so grateful to Robin and the entire FIVE Event Center team for creating an experience that felt seamless, thoughtful, and genuinely cared for. We would wholeheartedly recommend FIVE to any couple looking for a beautiful space paired with a team that truly goes above and beyond.

I truly cannot recommend this company enough! From start to finish, the entire process of booking hair and makeup for my wedding was seamless, organized, and completely stress-free. On a day when there are so many moving pieces, it was such a relief to work with a team that was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making everything perfect. I had the pleasure of working with Kimmy for my hair and makeup, and she was absolutely incredible. She really listened to what I envisioned and took the time to understand my style. During my trial, she made me feel so comfortable sharing feedback and making small adjustments, which meant so much to me. I never once felt rushed or dismissed—she truly wanted me to feel 100% confident. On the wedding day, everything came together beautifully. My hair and makeup looked flawless, lasted all day, and still felt like me. I felt confident, comfortable, and so well taken care of. My bridesmaids also had such a wonderful experience with the other stylists on the team.

STUDIO x SARAH was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day beauty!! From the very start, her communication was prompt, and she brought such great energy to every interaction! She was incredibly flexible, taking the time to do a second makeup trial with me when I wasn't quite sure about the right look. Her attention to detail and ability to turn my inspiration into reality was truly impressive. She is a great listener, very receptive to my feedback, and made wonderful suggestions to achieve my desired look, enhancing my hair with creative ideas. Beyond her talent, Sarah also has an authentic, compassionate energy on the wedding day, noticing when I needed a moment and discreetly getting my Maid of Honor to help me settle. I felt so taken care of, and my hair and makeup turned out beautifully. I wanted an elegant modern make up look, and an updo for my long curly hair that was somewhere between Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and a Greek goddess. She NAILED IT. BOOK BOOK BOOK! This is who you want doing your hair and make up!

Hey, I'm Adrian! I'm a wedding and elopement photographer specializing in creative photos for lighthearted couples and their loved ones. I focus on you, your family, and an un-boring retelling of the day's events - wherever they may take place - because you deserve photos that are elevated, not stuffy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our experience with Adrian and her wedding photography was outstanding. From our first meeting, she helped guide us and felt like an unofficial wedding planner. We loved her artistic approach to photography and attention to detail. As a couple not known for their modeling skills, Adrian made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The moments she captured felt genuine, not staged. She was so attentive to us during our wedding day, anticipating our needs before we even knew what we needed! Adrian was able to tactfully guide a room of busy, jittery people and kept us all on schedule. Be reassured that if you book Adrian for your wedding, you will be taken care of and get amazing photos in return!

  • Serves Excelsior, 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 flair—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.

Working with Eric was such a great experience! He’s easygoing, fun, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. His posing tips and prompts helped so much, and we absolutely love how our photos turned out. Thank you for capturing us so perfectly! Highly recommend!

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

We are so glad that we chose the Graduate for our wedding this July (2023). Michael was great to work with in getting the day together. Extremely helpful, responsive, and professional throughout the entire planning process. The food and bar were great from the appetizers all the way to late night snacks. We received many compliments on how helpful and friendly the staff were the entire night. And the hotel was a beautiful setting for pictures!
