Awarded Best of Zola
We had an incredible experience working with Chris for both our engagement session and our wedding day. From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation we had. For our engagement photos, he made the entire shoot so fun, especially because we were able to include our pets. They turned out beautiful. It was the perfect start to our wedding journey. On our wedding day, he was just as impressive. Not only was he punctual and professional, but he also took the time to review our shot list and make sure we stayed on schedule. We took photos before the ceremony and family photos afterward, and he worked so efficiently that we actually ended up early to our reception. We received 50 sneak peek photos by Monday, and they were absolutely stunning. We love that he gave us access to all of the photos he took- he gave them to us on a flash drive and gave us a drop box link so we could immediately share it with friends and family. One of our favorite parts of working with him is that we get to keep all the photos he took, not just the edited ones. It truly feels like we get to relive every moment of the day. With his experience (including having shot at both of our venues before), he made everything feel effortless. We never had to worry—he knew exactly where to be, what shots to prioritize, and how to capture our day perfectly. We are so grateful we chose him and can’t recommend him enough.

I highly recommend Sound Originals for wedding photography based on the communication, organization, value, and most importantly, the final product. Gabriella was always very responsive and clear in the messages sent via the online portal when we had questions. I was a bit hesitant to book this vendor because I didn’t know anyone who’d used the company before, but I’m glad I did. We were lucky to get paired with Jared as our photographer and immediately felt comfortable with him on our virtual planning call. On the day of our wedding he was prompt and had plenty of ideas ready to go, but he was also very open to any ideas we had. He never made us feel rushed at all as you could tell he wanted to take his time to get the shots right. He was patient when necessary, efficient when necessary and always reminded us to let him know if any poses didn’t feel comfortable or natural. We didn’t have a second shooter but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at our photos as Jared managed to get great variety in the angles during the ceremony and reception. The photos are beautiful and we are looking forward to framing a few. We got the sneak peak within 2 weeks and the full photo gallery not too long after that. The only critique I have is that the florist we used was incorrectly tagged on the sneak peak instagram post, and wasn’t corrected even though I reached out via direct message and comment. The flowers were beautiful & the correct florist deserved the credit. Overall, I would definitely work with Sound Originals and Jared in particular again in the future.

Jessica Knighton Photography

  • 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.

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.

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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Eric was amazing to work with and super communicative leading up to the wedding. On the day, he and Alexis (his second shooter) captured beautiful photos and documented the day perfectly, and even shot a video of our full ceremony and produced a highlight reel of clips from the day! They were always present but never in the way, and struck the perfect balance so we could fully enjoy our wedding day.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Britt enough, or emphasize how grateful we are to have found Render Photography. From the first Zoom get-to-know-you meeting to our engagement session through to the big day, Britt was an absolute knowledgeable and helpful pro, helping us make decisions on key details like day-of timelines while exuding a warm, friendly style that helped my partner and I feel at ease in front of the camera (we both are naturally camera shy). Her ability to maintain a calm and chill demeanor through tight schedules while simultaneously wrangling our 18-person wedding party into looking like movie stars is honestly a superpower. I'm absolutely obsessed with how our photos turned out. They say that choosing a wedding photographer is one of the most important choices you make, as they're likely the person you and your spouse spend the most time with on your wedding day. You want to trust that this person has got it all under control, and will capture your day beautifully. Trust me - choose Britt.

Bonnie has had a camera in her hands since high school. What began as a quiet fascination with documenting life turned into a calling when she photographed her first wedding in 2017. Bonnie believes that some of the most meaningful moments in life are often the most fleeting, but photography gives us the rare gift of remembering them forever. Her approach centers on presence over perfection, leaving room for genuine laughter, quiet tenderness, and unscripted joy to unfold naturally. Her mission is to document your most cherished memories - the joy, the vulnerability, the celebration - to create photographs that become lasting heirlooms.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonnie is such a gem, we had so much fun working with her! During our engagement shoot and wedding day, we were constantly laughing and just having a ball, she made us feel completely comfortable. Bonnie is chill, down-to-earth, friendly, and so much fun. She had great suggestions and was down with our ideas, too. We're extremely appreciative of her communication, transparency, and flexibility, and we can't wait to hopefully work with her again for family photos!

I think I have the best job in the world. My approach is to capture the story of your wedding day, from start to finish.

I'll help you plan your day, work with you to find the best locations for photos, guide you through poses, and we'll make it fun!

Rachel did an amazing job for both our engagement and wedding photos. I knew she was the right fit during our first meeting in which I could see her organization, professionalism, and expertise. I felt completely as ease throughout our wedding day knowing we would get all the pictures we asked for, and more.

Storyteller Co Minneapolis Wedding Photographers & Video 
Rating: 4.2 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

Storyteller Co captures the lived-in energy of immersive weddings through a bespoke intersection of photojournalistic integrity and high-fashion aesthetics. A documentary-meets-editorial wedding archive on film, Polaroid, Super 8/16mm, and digital photography + cinema. Delivering physical negatives for global generational stewardship.

If you’re debating between documentary-style photography and a more traditional approach, go with documentary and more importantly, hire Kayla and Zoey. These two are true artists with an incredible eye for detail. They photographed both our engagement and wedding, and their creative vision blew us away. We’re big film lovers, so when we saw their work on Instagram, including Super 8/16mm film, 35mm, and Polaroid, we instantly knew we had to book them, even though our wedding was nearly two years out. From our first meeting for the engagement shoot, Kayla and Zoey made us feel completely at ease. By the time our wedding day came around, it felt like we had invited two friends to capture our day. They brought so much energy and were fully present to capture every detail, big and small. Our only initial hesitation was that they don’t use shot lists. But in all honesty, you don’t need one when your photographers have such a strong instinct for capturing genuine moments and meaningful connections. We still got our family photos since we had some adamant family members, but the photos we’ll cherish forever were the candid ones: the laughter, the tears, and all the little in-between moments that made our day special. If their stunning work on their website and Instagram hasn’t convinced you yet, their delivery SPEED will. We received a generous sneak peek within 24 hours, tons of film and video deliverables within the week, and the full gallery of nearly 2,000 digital and film photos and videos WITH RAWs just two weeks after the wedding (we were only promised at least 800). We didn’t even get over our wedding high yet and they delivered the entire day’s worth of memories for us to re-live it all and feel that rush again! We could go on and on about how amazing they are. Kayla and Zoey, we hope you continue to have a passion for what you do because you guys truly have a gift. If you're lucky enough to work with them, you’ll understand exactly what we mean. We hope they continue to share their passion because the world needs more of what they create.

I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing.

From the beginning, Catie was easy to talk to, very straight forward, professional, and extremely kind. The minute we met at our engagement shoot we immediately hit it off. It felt as if we had known her for years. She is very passionate about her work and is always making sure to do whatever she can to make your experience seamless. She does an amazing job preparing for the big day and gives you the opportunity to connect to ask questions and share your thoughts so you are both on the same page. Not only is she a genuine person who cares about you as a couple, her work is flawless. We absolutely LOVED every single photo we received. There were so many friends and family who still continue to comment on our photos and rave about the amazing job that she did. Overall, if you are looking for a photographer who does amazing work but also cares about you as a couple, I would highly recommend Catie and her services to anyone looking for a photographer!

Awarded Best of Zola
Oh my lanta. Where do I begin? If we had to get married again, my first task would be to see if Rigg & Co was available and if not, I’d change my wedding date. I couldn’t imagine not having her there! First, Kate listens to what you want. My husband and I really wanted a lot of candid photos of us and our guests. We had an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family so it was important to us that she captured them in the moment! Mission accomplished and more. Second, Kate is so talented and also just a fun human to be around. There’s no awkwardness or that “is this a good pose? Am I doing what I’m supposed to?” feeling because she makes you feel so comfortable! It was like she was just a part of the family and fit right in. She really was there at every moment - the rehearsal, up very early the next morning to go to the farmers market where I picked out my flowers, the ceremony, the dance, everything! Looking back, I’m extra thankful for her and the long day she put in because every moment was captured beautifully and exceeded my expectations. It even rained during our ceremony and the way she captured us during it was magical! I also can’t leave a review without mentioning the video she made! I was blown away by this. The video is so well done and thoughtful and really special to us as we got married during COVID and we had people who could not attend. This video allows them to see all of the intimate details of our wedding without actually being there. We even hired her years later to do family photos with our doggo! She’s the best. I feel like I’m rambling but it’s really because I cannot say enough positive things about Kate - hire her!

Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer!! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events

Ceri McCaffrey Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,450
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

Ceri was a joy to have as our photographer! She captured both our engagement photos and wedding day. All our friends and family commented on how efficient, kind and patient she was. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful photos of our day and we felt so comfortable with her. Ceri excels at capturing moments and memories and really getting to know you as a couple. We couldn’t recommend her more!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

Welcome to a world of modern romance and timeless elegance, where tales of both the young and old are beautifully captured. A picture is worth a thousand words - I'm inspired by the charm of old films reimagined in the present, I weave the old into the new with the timeless elegance and meaning.

Irina with Irina Partyka Photography is an absolute gem, both as a photographer and as a person. She exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding photos, capturing moments and emotions that we’ll cherish forever. Her vision and attention to detail were beyond what we hoped for, and it's clear she is passionate about her work. Not only did she take our engagement photos, but we’ve also gained a lifelong photographer—and a true friend. She’s incredibly detail-oriented, guiding us with how to pose, angle our heads, and position our arms, making sure we always looked our best. Our entire bridal party loved working with her and appreciated her direction. If you're looking for a photographer with a modern, romantic, classy and elegant style, Irina is your go-to! We couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Your wedding day isn’t just a party! It’s a story about the people who shaped you and the life you’re building together. My job is to notice the moments that matter: the nervous laughter while you’re getting ready, the look on your partner’s face when they see you, the way your friends completely lose it on the dance floor. The photos we make together will become the first heirlooms of your new family, and I take that responsibility seriously.

We are so thankful to Celisia and her team for capturing our beautiful wedding day. We had many unique moments like a table photo dash, and Celisia captured the authenticity of our family and friends perfectly. Celisia was also incredibly efficient with our wedding party and portrait photos. We did not do a first-look, so Celisia and her team did a great job directing everyone to get the best shots. The photos turned out amazing, were easy to print in large format, and we love looking at them and reliving our day.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love being out doors, visiting new places, and photographing people that are a little crazy for each other. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

My wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!
