Jennifer Christi Photo & Video was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Their communication was timely, easy, transparent, and they were always flexible from start to finish. The quality of their work was truly professional, efficient, intentional and excellent. This team made our day so much fun and felt like we were hanging out with friends. They listened to exactly what we wanted, were great at communicating, and were also very detailed which we really appreciated so there was nothing overlooked. They even went above and beyond when some family members didn't show on time for pictures, taking them a little bit later which we didn't expect but very much appreciated.

We seriously couldn’t be happier with our wedding photos! Devyn was amazing to work with from start to finish. She was super responsive, organized, and just really easy to talk to. On the day of, she handled all the people and timelines smoothly without ever making it stressful. She made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We honestly forgot she was there half the time (in a good way!), but somehow she still got every single shot we wanted. Even when it started raining, she rolled with it and turned it into some of our favorite photos of the day. The turnaround time for getting our photos back was way faster than we expected, and we’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful they look. We’re so glad we went with Devyn and can’t recommend her enough!

I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

Autumn G Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Gary, MN

Autumn G Photography is a journalistic style wedding photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am all about romantic photojournalism that captures authentic moments and beautiful portraits that truly tell the story of your day. I believe that everyone should get beautiful wedding photos. I will help create a detailed timeline of your day with quick turnaround time for images, and also offer an online gallery. I do have flexible payment plans available, making it even easier to book one of your most important vendors!

Our story is a little complicated. I am actually the mother of the groom. Both groom and bride are serving in the military overseas at 2 different bases. Between them, the bride's mother and I, we were dealing with planning a wedding with 4 different time zones. They asked me to find a photographer, which was in a different time zone from me (2 hours difference). I reached out to three photographers online, and Autumn was the only one to respond. Autumn was very helpful from the start. She was patient in dealing with all the different time zones, the busy-ness of military life, and even some procrastination on the part of the bride and groom. She helped develop a timeline for the pictures, but was flexible, making is easy to regroup and still get all the special pictures. She made sure to print out the questionnaire regarding certain desired photos so that none were missed. My son and daughter-in-law are thrilled with the pictures that Autumn captured. Even I’m still trying to choose which ones I want to print and which ones I want to make into an album. This leads me to one more thing that I love about Autumn. Our pictures are ours. We are not required to choose only a certain number of pictures, and then pay more if we want above and beyond. That was a huge plus in my book. I highly recommend Autumn for your wedding photography needs.

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
Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

At Studio Twelve:52, we believe your wedding day deserves to be captured as authentically and vibrantly as you experience it. As a married photography duo with over 14 years of experience and 600+ weddings documented, we specialize in creating true-to-life/timeless imagery that tells your unique love story. Serving Minnesota and beyond — we combine a 50/50 fine art approach with a documentary eye to capture every joyful, heartfelt, and beautifully unexpected moment while creating stunning portraits as well. Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

WOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

We're Jasmine and Jacob Charbonneau, the creative couple behind Charby & Co. As lovers of life, we admire all the moments, big and small, that make up the stories of our lives.Jasmine has been capturing the raw emotion of wedding days and their love stories for over 8 years with artistry. Five years ago, she met Jacob Charbonneau, a visual storyteller with his first Emmy winning story just one year into his TV career. After winning his second Emmy, Jacob quit his TV job to film weddings full-time and we came together to make Charby & Co in 2023.

Jasmine was AMAZING during our wedding. Not only did she take beautiful pictures, but she also was there with us for the whole process. She was always available to help give us advice for the small details. Jasmine was very professional the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to capture our perfect day. She is also wildly creative. We ended up taking some gorgeous pictures in an elevator in our venue! I would recommend Jasmine as a photographer any day!

As both a photographer and writer, I've found my niche focusing on the bits that make up each love story and wedding day. The quiet moments, the fierce ones, the happy and nostalgic ones. While I make sure clients get all the shots they need, my focus is to simply capture the day as it happens, documenting the moments that will fade from memory as time goes by. My style has a modern twist on classic photojournalistic-style—true to life color with a bit of mood, at times sharp and others soft, with creative composition and approach.

I'm a wedding coordinator/planner whose team worked with Zoe at a wedding a week ago and she was so great to work with! Leading up to the wedding day she was very responsive on all communication, and was great to work alongside with the day of the wedding! Her photos are absolutely stunning and I look forward to working with her again in the future! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events

I never saw myself having a wedding. Never imagined the venue, the flowers, or the centerpieces. Never had any ideas about what my hair would look like or the dress I would wear. One night I was sitting with my mom and she said “I see you getting married on a beach somewhere, with just a few friends. Then afterwards we have a bonfire and music, and we laugh all night.” It’s like she was living in my brain- that felt so right to me- and I had never seen a wedding like that. I didn’t know that kind of thing was allowed? From then on that’s the only way I’ve pictured my wedding to be one day. That’s what I want to help my couples find.

We highly recommend Lily and her work is amazing! She took our engagement photos and then our wedding photos on a rainy day and they turned out so good. I have received so many compliments on my photos and we aren't sure how they turned out so incredible in the rain, but she is magic! If you are looking for a fun time and moody, earthy photos Lily is your girl! She is incredibly talented and won't let you down.

One interesting FACT about me: I am published in Shutter Up Magazine. I am thrilled you are interested in choosing me to document your special day! I believe that choosing a wedding photographer is about more than just hiring someone with a camera to document your day. Your wedding photographer should be someone who inspires you, and someone who eases wedding day jitters. All of my packages have TRAVEL FEES included in the price. My only ask is a hotel room on you! Wherever my images take me I will go and am willing to travel outside of Illinois. I am LBGQT friendly as well!

Shutter Lane Imagery was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, Jasmine was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her communication style was top-notch, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work is simply stunning - Jasmine has an incredible eye for detail and captured the most beautiful, creative, and spontaneous moments of our special day. As someone who can feel awkward in front of the camera, Jasmine's direction and guidance put me completely at ease, and the end result is an album I'll cherish forever. You can tell Jasmine is not only an amazingly talented photographer, but also has a beautiful soul to match. She was flexible, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. I would recommend Shutter Lane Imagery to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their craft and delivering an exceptional experience.

MY APPROACH IS CREATING NATURAL MOMENTS, BUT REALLY CAPTURING THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN. MY STYLE IS EMOTION-FILLED, RADIANTLY JOYFUL, WARM, AND FULL OF FEELING. You are looking for a photographer that will stand by you as your friend on your wedding day - someone you can trust. You are looking for images that you can show your kids & grandkids someday - images that have a story that goes with them! You are ready to let loose at your session, and be completely yourself. You are ready for an adventure....

Rachel and team was the perfect photographer and I am not just saying that! They made the day so much fun with our wedding party and families and we got the sneak peaks back right away the next week. You can tell she has a ton of experience, she made you feel like you have known each other forever and super comfortable if you are awkward with getting photos taken and just a great person on top of it. Our engagement photos were so beautiful as well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for A photos and a great experience. Thank you Rachel and team! 3

My name is Amy and I am Minnesota born and raised - but have traveled to 9 countries and counting! I really love where I live - Duluth, MN - but I also love experiencing new cultures and FOOD (I love good food ha). I am pretty laid back and will do almost anything to get the perfect shot - but I can be assertive when needed. I am here to be more than just a photographer - I am here to be your partner, support, and friend through the exciting (but sometimes stressful) times of your major life events.

Amy Bendtsen Photography was an absolute delight to work with! From our very first interaction, Amy was prompt, hilarious, and incredibly friendly - putting us at ease right away. Her communication and demeanor made everything a breeze. The quality of her work is truly exceptional - she has such a gorgeous, flexible style that captured all the special moments in a way that felt comfortable and natural. Amy had so many creative ideas that added such a fun, personal touch, and she had us laughing the entire time. We are thrilled with the stunning photos that perfectly reflect the joy of our day!. Amy made everything so easy and was wonderfully accommodating throughout the entire process. We couldn't recommend her highly enough!
