  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Hamel, MN

MAKEUP ARTIST ONLY Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ashley is truly THE makeup artist you want for your wedding day. From the moment we met at the trial, she was so warm, genuine, and down to earth. I honestly felt like I was catching up with an old bestie!!! She took the time to listen to what I envisioned, offered helpful suggestions, and made the whole experience feel effortless. On the day of the wedding we decided to tweak a couple of things and she executed them all with perfection. My wedding day was the hottest day of the year and still my makeup stayed flawless from morning to night! Ashley worked calmly and professionally while bringing such a fun and calming energy to the morning. If you are looking for someone who is so insanely talented, kind, and makes you feel like the best version of yourself, Ashley is your girl!!!

From the moment we stepped into Watson Block we just knew it was exactly what we were looking for in a venue. If your vibe is intimate, romantic, old world charm this is your spot. Pictures don’t do it justice and it’s so beautiful you truly need very little to make it your own. Gaby was incredible for the entire planning process all the way through to our big day. We did almost everything ourselves- including creating an arch to be married under, to signage, to table decor, even our own wedding flowers. Gaby answered every question with ease and was incredible at assuaging my nerves. She and her team set things up perfectly from the ceremony to the switch for dinner and then dancing. I often questioned if we needed a day of coordinator and was so happy I didn’t waste my money on one because it wasn’t needed. I never knew a day could be as truly magical as our wedding was and a huge part of that was how much we loved our venue. I would happily suggest it to anyone asking. The other huge bonus is it was truly one of if not the best value for venues in the twin cities. This gem will continue to gain notoriety as an incredible venue for years to come!!

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!!

Their expert DJs are on hand to ensure that your guests live it up on the dance floor from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Studio Veil was exceptionally professional and organized. We never had a single concern about the DJ services leading up to our wedding. What we loved most was Studio Veil’s philosophy—weddings are about the couple, not the vendors. They offered as much or as little support as we needed, allowing us to have as much input over the DJ experience as we wanted. Brent was our DJ, and he was outstanding. In our pre-wedding meeting, we introduced him to a few unique ideas, and he embraced them all without hesitation. We even sent him our playlists just two days before the wedding, and he managed to perfect everything in time. On the day itself, Brent adapted to every last-minute change, flawlessly hitting all cues and keeping our song wishlist front and center. He checked in with us throughout the night in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, quieted the crowd gracefully, and kept the energy flowing without ever making it about him. Brent’s set was brilliant. He began the night with familiar favorites for our older guests and then shifted to a younger, more upbeat vibe as the evening progressed. His transitions were seamless, and he truly read the room perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The Van Dusen Mansion was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the first time we reached out, the staff was fast, efficient, and incredibly kind throughout the entire planning process.

Sheridan was so personable and a pleasure to work with.

When I say there was not a single glitch in the day, I mean it. David could not have been more amazing ensuring from guest arrival to the final dance that the event stayed organized and on track. The venue itself could not be more stunning with the large windows and natural light. Our guests were so complementary of the venue and set up. I am so thankful and appreciative for the incredible team who made sure our day would be one we always remember.

Eric Turner Photography

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.

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!

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
Britt was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. Her planning was seamless, and her communication was clear. We always felt we were in good and trustworthy hands. On the day itself, she fit in perfectly with the mood, striking the ideal blend of hip, professional, fun, and generous. Her coordination was excellent, and she moved through the day with an effortless balance of direction and ease. The photos Britt captured were outstanding. She has a remarkable eye for composition, space, and detail. Her images are deeply felt, beautifully composed, and consistently strong. They created exactly the look we’d hoped for, capturing the energy and emotion of the day without ever feeling staged or intrusive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone seeking a photographer who brings artistry, warmth, and genuine care to her work.

Stephanie was amazing to work with on our wedding day. She did hair for me and my bridal party. She was very professional and timely. My event was a little away from Twin cities and she was all set up ahead of time to start. I sent her some images of my Pinterest board and she made my vision a reality. I would recommend her any day for an event.

Hi! I'm Anna and I’m a queer wedding photographer who specializes in LGBTQIA+ weddings here in MN and all over! I’m an adventurous soul who loves to get lost in the wilds of nature. I approach my photography the same way. Every shoot and every wedding is a new adventure. Sure, we might have a basic roadmap, but I want us to be open to exploring the lesser-traveled trails and the secret paths that line our route. That’s the kind of thing that’s going to make your wedding totally unique to you two! I'm a human just like you and I want to make all HUMANS feel totally comfortable around me and my camera. So let's connect and share some kindness!

Awarded Best of Zola
Anna was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so generous with her time and resources helping us think through the logistics of the day, and was really thoughtful about the way she made sure she knew what things were most important to us. Not to mention the finished product of all of the photos was so incredibly beautiful! We were especially excited about the nighttime lantern pictures, and we're blown away by how cool those turned out! She made us as well as our family and friends feel so comfortable. She went way above and beyond our expectations, both in how she was to work with day-of as well as the finished product. We are so glad we chose Wildly Connected!
