Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

  • 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
​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

We're Natalie & Ricky - a husband and wife power team offering photo and video since 2013. We are a fine art, film inspired luxury wedding photographer and videographer located in Minneapolis, MN but available for travel across the country. We are Jesus followers, parents to 4 kids, and are crazy about watching The Amazing Race.

From our first chats, Natalie was the sweetest human ever. She helped me pick a location for engagement photos when I didn’t know what to do. And she put up with me rescheduling our wedding date several times due to covid. You can tell she really loves what she does and it really shows through in her work. Even when the lighting in our church ceremony was less than ideal, she put in so much extra time and effort to make them as good as they could be. Ricky did our videography and it was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined and we were so happy we had the video package. I felt so lucky to have found Lollipop media for our special day!

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.

He has a way of making the whole experience feel natural and fun, putting us completely at ease in front of the camera. He captured our connection in such an authentic way. Nothing felt forced, just real moments full of love. We would absolutely work with Eric again in a heartbeat.

  • Serves Excelsior, MN

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

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! Could not recommend her highly enough, she's the best!

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

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.

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!

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 14+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!

I am a full-time film photographer and ceramic artist. I bring a calm, intentional, artful lens to whatever medium I am practicing, including wedding photography.

Not only have I worked weddings with Jessica in the past, but I hired her to shoot my wedding this past September, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I think that alone says a lot, but Jessica is a pure wizard when it comes to photography. Her skills at capturing all the candid moments with friends and family is impeccable, and she really allows space for your individuality as a couple to shine through (as opposed to canned pose after canned pose). I don't know how she made our photos look like pieces of art in addition to capturing the essence of our relationship, but like I said, she's magic.

I’ll be there to capture everything: from the belly laughs in your getting ready room, to the tears in your honey’s eyes when they see you, to your friend’s and family’s hilarious dance moves. I promise to capture it all! Ready to get this party started?! Shoot me a message!

Celisia was on a very short list of photographers that we had in mind after we got engaged in Spring 2019. For our engagement and wedding pictures, we really wanted someone who would have the photos really reflect the day for what it was. Celisia did just that. When we were meeting with photographers, she came up with packages that fit our needs, she was really comfortable to work with (also helps that she and I went to school together back in the day), and brought a lot of energy to the shoots. Something that I looked at a lot when it came to photographers was the ethnic and racial diversity of their portfolios. I knew that was something important to Celisia, and that's what sealed the deal for me. Not unrelated, but just a great tidbit, during our couples' pictures before the ceremony, I went to pose with my husband and my leg just cramped up, I had to cling to him to keep from falling over. Jessica, the second shooter, offered to go grab water and basically made it to the basement of the church and back outside in less than five minutes. The rest of that portion they both made sure that I hydrated and break if needed. It was a great experience, and we really appreciated the ease and respectfulness they had for our venue when taking pictures. We've gotten lots of compliments about all of our pictures since receiving the full gallery back. Overall, an amazing experience, would highly recommend, and support Black businesses, especially professional services like photography!

We’re here to help. We’ve talked brides down from ledges, helped caterers break down tables, and pinned boutonnieres onto tuxedos. We’ll laugh, bring the fun, and always keep our heads even when something goes wrong. At Studio Veil, we think of ourselves as ducks on water. We may be crazy kicking underneath to keep things rolling smoothly, but above the water, we’ll always stay calm and collected

If I could give 6 stars, I would. If you are looking for a no-drama vendor, look no further. Not only did Ryan help us take our engagement photos 8 months before our wedding (and it was Ryan himself, not some random photographer), but his team was our entire media-suite for the wedding. From DJ who played all of the songs we had on our list, to a fun photo booth, to taking wonderful video and pictures of our entire special day... he was literally alongside us for all of the documentation of our wedding. As terrible as it is for me to say, thankfully, his team was never in view, never in the way; they captured the intimate moments, the big raucous crowds, and everything in between. Moreover, his involvement goes beyond day-of, as the photo book he created from our wedding now lives on our mantel as a permanent reminder of one of the happiest day of our life. There is no over-selling Ryan Veil or his team. Wedding planning is complicated, and Ryan not only delivered with his artistry, but his organized approach and proactive communication allowed my wife and I to focus on each other instead of worrying that the moment would be captured (which is a big deal because my wife has a terrible tendency to always have her phone out needing to 'capture the moment'). The candid pictures were fire. Also... with the last name Veil, what are you doing choosing someone else?

We are now friends with both Matt and Anna of Royal Hart because we hired them! They are clear about expectations and services from the beginning, while also incorporating creativity and spontaneity in whatever you hire them for. For example, we hired them for our wedding, and we got pictures with CONFETTI!! We saw their extensive work with other couples we knew, and knew that we loved their style as well as how personable they are. Do yourself a favor and work with them!!
