“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!!!!!”

They were also super accommodating and helped fine ways for us to meet out budget while still getting the experience we were looking for. The venue and surrounding area had a number of spots for stunning, industrial vibe photos and we couldn't be happier with the look and feel for our day. Our food was also outstanding.

“WarPaint International was the beauty team for my wedding day and what a well oiled machine they are! We had 13 people getting hair and makeup services, which could have easily become chaos, but because of the personalized schedule they created for us, the communication before, during, and after the booking process, and the ample amount of artisans they were able to provide everything went off without a hitch. When arriving at my venue the team was already there set up and ready to go! We definitely felt like royalty walking into our own personal glam team. Wendy did my hair and spent extra time perfecting my retro glam waves, making sure I was 100% happy with my look. Mia, Mariah, & Keely helped with the bridal party and everyone looked so beautiful and classy! If there were any adjustments to be made, these ladies got right to work without complaint to make sure everybody was satisfied with their services. You can tell this team is passionate about their work and have a lot of experience in wedding beauty.

  • 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
“​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).”

Every experience we have ever had with both Hannah and Oliver has been fun, light-hearted, and stress-free (which is super important on your wedding day). Oliver even helped get our dog out of the lake after she decided to swim after some ducks! At out wedding, they captured photos of things I didn't even think about, helped stage our families for group photos, and got the most beautiful portraits of my husband and I even in a time crunch. I had a fairly specific vision for my getting-ready and detail photos, and Hannah made sure that my vision came to life. She also took some of the coolest photos I've ever seen of people dancing at our reception with some cool lighting effects.

Primped has a very smooth system and were transparent with their menu and pricing. Having a trial built in to the package for me was huge. Being able to test my style out ahead of time allowed me to not have to be fully with it for my 6am start. Sabrina and Kimmy were outstanding for makeup and hair, respectfully. Even though it was very hot and humid outside and no air-conditioning in the church, my very long hair barely dropped and my makeup stayed perfect all day. I absolutely recommend Primped for all wedding beauty needs!”

I've had the joy of spending the past 7 years capturing more than 120+ weddings! My style is timeless and story focused. I’m not here to give you a music video or a highlight reel. I'm here to create an heirloom. One that you'll love, cherish, and pass on for generations to come. The real investments on your wedding day are the ones you can enjoy for decades after your special day, and that bring back all of those priceless memories and emotions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We can’t say enough great things about Chris! He filmed our wedding, and the experience was absolutely amazing. From the start, he was incredibly easy to work with—professional, friendly, and truly passionate about his craft. At first, we weren’t even planning on having a wedding video, but now, looking back, it’s the one thing we cherish the most. Chris captured every special moment beautifully, and the final video was beyond what we ever expected. The way he brought our day to life makes us feel like we’re reliving it every time we watch. If you’re on the fence about getting a wedding video, do it—and make sure Chris is the one behind the camera! You won’t regret it.”

At Uniquely Yours, ceremonies by Fia, I believe every couple deserves a wedding ceremony that is truly unique and personalized to them.

From the vows to the readings, storytelling to unity rituals, every detail can be tailored to your vision. My goal is to create a genuine, memorable, and engaging ceremony that celebrates your commitment and your future together.

“Fia has a true gift and we were lucky enough to witness it on our wedding day having her as our celebrant! She made the process so easy and together we crafted the most beautiful ceremony. It was our favorite part of the wedding day! We look forward to keeping in touch with Fia for years to come. She is the best investment you could make on your big day!”
