We used sound photography for our elopement at mount rainier. Eugene was our photographer and did such a great job I am in love with my photos they are everything I wanted. Communication was so easy and because we were in the park Eugene made sure we had a specific meeting spot so he was easy to find. Sounds made everything so easy!

Jessica Knighton Photography

  • Serves Golden Valley, 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 was a little overwhelmed with vendors, but choosing them was honestly the best decision. The photos are stunning, but what really touched me was how they captured the emotions like my mom holding back tears or my husband looking nervous before I arrived. It's not just photos, it's feelings. I look at them almost every day!"

I'm Hannah, a professional photographer based in the heart of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and I'm thrilled to be part of your wedding journey. My photography style is all about capturing the romance and intimacy of your special day, focusing on those heartfelt, candid moments that make your love story uniquely yours. I have a deep appreciation for the little details that make your wedding day unforgettable, and I take great care to ensure they shine through in every shot.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hannah first photographed our family when we were just starting out and wanted to have a cute baby announcement. She has now been photographing our family for 9 years, and she really is amazing. She manages to catch candid moments that show love and our natural personalities which are my favorite kind of photos. She never over edits, and I am always confident that the images will be ones that truly reflect our family dynamic. More importantly though, Hannah is an empath who understands neurodivergent brains. She is so patient with my boys who both struggle at times. She doesn’t judge, she can help prevent a meltdown, and knows when we might need a break or change. She cares deeply and that is always reflected in her work.

Penny here! Extroverted world traveling, dog snuggler who use creatively candid photography to connect with couples getting married. My method includes learning about my clients to establish trust, while adding an abundance of energy and ideas to showcase epic portraits and real moments throughout the day. I believe that people love candid photos because they get to relive the unexpected moments and connection they were having with those around them. From eye-popping laughs to full squishy hugs, I want to capture it all!

To put it lightly, I'm difficult to impress and often give a partial review that's neutral to express both the good and the bad. So when I say that Penny is a one of a kind photographer that you won't regret and will leave you going back to see your wedding again and again, I mean it. She's the only photographer I trust in the twin cities. From my engagement photos, to wedding, to maternity. Class act and dedicated service. Fun and energetic too.

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

This is long because we can’t figure out how to describe how amazing Vick is- If you’re searching for a photographer who is a true artist, will make you laugh, help you remember to take a breath and savor the little moments, aid in corralling your family (including the furry kind of family members) and friends, and go above and beyond in every way to help the wedding process proceed seamlessly seriously stop searching. Andrew Vick is the real deal. He made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and did so much for our wedding aside from taking beautiful pictures. He helped everyone coordinate, fixed dresses, captured all the moments we wanted, and especially the ones we didn’t know we would look back at and absolutely treasure. It has taken us a long time to try and write a review that will accurately describe his incredible work, and what a wonderful person he is. This review still doesn’t do him justice. Words can’t describe how amazing our experience with him was.

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.

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!

I love working hand in hand with couples to capture pure moments of love, laughter, and emotion. For me there is no cookie cutter wedding, each wedding is unique and should narrate the story of the couple's relationship. I work with my couples to find hobbies and/or pastimes they share that are special to them. We find fun and unique ways to integrate it into their photos making for a highly personalized and enjoyable experience.

Matthew is INCREDIBLE! We fell in love with his vibrant photos and use of color, and after meeting Matthew in person, we knew we found the best person to photograph our nerdy, gay wedding! He took our engagement photos and we so felt so comfortable going into the big day, and even then he exceeded our expectations. Our photo list was big, and he got through it and ensured we got all of the photos we wanted. He checked in on us throughout the day, got us water when needed (didn't even have to ask, it was just suddenly there which was fabulous), and had great energy that our guests loved. When we first met Matthew, I told him I wanted to see his detail pics because I love detail pics- he remembered that and I am IN LOVE with all of our photos of the people who celebrated with us, but also the photos of the small details that we worked so hard on. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Matthew- top notch energy, quality photos, and overall human. He truly went above and beyond for us, and I am happy to say we have found our photographer for life! Also well worth getting a second shooter - both Maddie and his assistant were wonderful and our guests loved them as well. Extra bonus points that we got our pictures back in less than 2 weeks.

They are transparent about pricing, and very generous with their time and attention to detail. All of our photographs are amazing. I’m not one for family photo sessions, etc. But Adam and MB are so fantastic that I plan to work with them in the future - just to keep them in our lives. We would give them 6 (or a hundred) stars if we could.

Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a wedding, portraits, and events photographer based in Minneapolis. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012, and have experience photographing over 500 weddings. 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!

We couldn't have asked for a better fit with Rachel Lahlum Photography. From our first conversation, Rachel's professional approach combined with experience of a timeline really stood out. She did our engagement photos in the same park and we loved those. What really impressed us was how she handled our large, split family dynamics and kept the kids engaged while getting everyone into position for shots—it felt effortless on her end. Her experience showed in every frame, and we were blown away when she sent us the preview in the first week after the wedding.. The photos look incredible and captured all the moments that matter. We'd recommend Rachel to any couple looking for a photographer who knows exactly what she's doing.

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!

Storyteller Co Minneapolis Wedding Photographers & Video 
Rating: 4.2 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Golden Valley, 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’m a wedding photographer based in Minnesota, and it is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. 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. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

A friend of mine recommended Catie’s services after doing a couples shoot and I am so grateful she did. 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!

I love capturing the moments that aren't posed or planned but that are special and YOU. I want you to be able to FEEL something when you look at my images. Your special day is unique and should be captured in a way that makes you remember every little moment as it was.

Macie is a phenomenal photographer! Her style is warm and inviting, just like her! For our engagement session, she asked us to share some of our favorite “poses” and also added in some of her favorites. The photos turned out stunning! The sneak peeks she shared with us from our wedding are absolutely beautiful. We are so excited to see the rest of the photos!

I'm a wedding planner who worked with with Amy a few weeks ago at a wedding and she was so amazing to work with!! Leading up to the wedding day she was super responsive on emails and informing us of any changes to the timeline or the weather plan. The day of the wedding, she kept the energy up & alive even though it was raining- and was just overall so great to work with. 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 Golden Valley, 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!
