I’m not just your wedding photographer—I’m your built-in bestie, hype girl, and calm in the chaos. From fluffing your dress to fixing flyaways and making you laugh when nerves kick in, I’m there for it all. I’ll help you feel confident, relaxed, and totally yourself while capturing every moment, big and small. Your day should feel as good as it looks, and your photos should feel like you. Let’s create something beautiful together that you’ll cherish forever.

Kayla is truly something special behind the camera. From the moment we arrived at our session, she made us feel completely at ease — like we were just hanging out with a good friend. She captured our family’s love, laughter, and the little in-between moments that mean the most. Her eye for detail, use of natural light, and ability to make everyone (even our toddler!) feel comfortable is unmatched. When we got our gallery back, I cried — every image was full of emotion and beauty. We’ll treasure these photos forever. Kayla isn’t just a photographer, she’s a memory maker. We can’t wait to book with her again

The event ran so smoothly- easy to plan with her, she was very knowledgeable, and the guests had so much fun. Our guests told us how wonderful the experience was and how beautiful the florals were.

Their communication style is prompt, approachable and open to new ideas which made planning easy. The quality and value of their floral arrangements is exceptional - beautiful, colorful and incorporating natural elements.

I have been in the beauty industry for the past seven years. My goal is to make every bride look and feel their absolute best on their wedding day and to give them confidence leading up to their big day. My job doesn’t start on your wedding day, it starts months before. I am there to help prep your skin, take in all of your wants and needs for your desired look, and create a functioning system so that everything runs smooth on your wedding day while getting you ready. I have been trained by the best so that I can be the best for my clients.

Carly is so incredibly sweet! She responded quickly to all of the questions I had, and gave me great advice for what to do for the things that did not work during my trial. She was also very accommodating and was able to fit in another bridesmaid and my mom last minute! The makeup she used seemed very high quality, and she was able to do exactly what I wanted, as well as my bridesmaid’s! However, my makeup did not stay very well. She used a lot of setting spray on me because my photographer wanted pictures of the application of it, and even with the extra couple of coats, my makeup rubbed off on everyone. The hair styles she did on myself and my bridesmaids were pretty good! Sadly, we had the same problem, and the hair styles did not stay well for my bridesmaids. Overall, Carly was great! She is so fun and easy to talk to, and helped ease my stress and worry on my wedding day!

My goal is to help bring your beauty vision to life while providing a luxury experience for you and your bridal party. I'm looking forward to chatting with you about your special day!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a bit of a unique situation - the company I had originally hired to do my hair and makeup changed my artists THREE TIMES- the final time less than 10 days out from my wedding. Andi was incredibly sweet to step in after I let the original company go for lack of faith with only 10 days notice. Andi had wonderful detailed skin care and hair care instructions for me and my bridesmaids to follow as we were able, to make sure we would have the best application possible the day of. She was super professional, and I believe she mentioned she was trained in photo ready makeup, and oh boy can you tell from the photos! I had some trouble with my contacts in the middle of my session, and she was really patient while I sorted that out and she redid the work for that eye so that you could never tell. I had mentioned this might happen and she reccomended traditional makeup, so I could retouch it myself if it happened again. She can do either airbrush or traditional. She rolled with the punches and difficulties and I'm incredibly indebted to her and the other two artists who joined her to help me and my massive bridal party (8!) Get ready for the best day of my life. I felt stunning, and most importantly? I still looked like myself. She took into account every desire I had and talked me through her suggestions and processes. I have really really long hair and it was put through the ringer pre and post ceremony - we ran through the woods, we laid in grass, we went on a golf cart and it got tousled by wind, I cried a few times. I dont know how it managed to stay so pristine, but it all did :) I cannot recommend Andi enough- she was a calm, knowledgeable, and professional artist. I could never reccomend her highly enough.

With a million decisions to make for your event, it might be tempting to dial up the first search result for the event DJ in Minneapolis and hire them on the spot. The downside? Not every DJ is appropriate for every kind of event. If you’re hoping to plan a one-of-a-kind party with music catered to your theme and formality level, you’re going to want to find a special event DJ in Minneapolis with experience. Your event is special, and we think the person you select to DJ the party should be special, too!

From the moment we reached out to Complete Weddings Events in Minneapolis, their team was incredibly helpful and responsive. We ended up booking their photography, videography, DJ, and photo booth services, and we are so glad we did. The quality of their work was exceptional - the photos and video perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding day. We didn't even know what a videographer was at first, but now we watch our wedding video every anniversary, and it brings us right back to the joy of our special day. The DJ had everyone up and dancing all night long, keeping the energy high and making our reception an absolute blast. We couldn't have asked for a better group of vendors to work with, and we highly recommend Complete Weddings Events to any couples planning their wedding.

Steve describes himself as “hands-on.” “I thoroughly enjoy playing the director’s role when doing these events. From the first announcement over the microphone until my ‘See ya!’ to send everyone home, there’s a lot of pleasure that goes with commanding the room. While these events are serious business, there’s nothing saying that you can’t have fun with it.”

I had Ilaria from Beaute Beautique do my hair for my professional makeup artistry (Breanna Perez Makeup Artist) photoshoot and she did beyond what I expected. I have course, curly and fine hair and she was able to give me beautiful beach waves with lots of volume, which is something I lack on the crown of my head. I felt so beautiful!! I never get my hair done so it was a treat. And not only did she style it, she also taught me how to do my hair like that moving forward, as well as recommended products to use to provide this look. I also work and recommend my own brides/prospective clients to Ilaria for hairstyling and makeup. She is so kind, talented and absolutely fun to work with. You won’t regret it!

Hey there and happy engagement! You deserve to be completely present on your wedding day and know that all of the special moments and details of your day are preserved gracefully and efficiently. I'm a fun-loving, wife and mother of 2 crazy cute boys. I have been taking photos since 2009, but I officially launched my business in 2018 and never looked back! I dedicate several weeks each year furthering my skill set and education in regards to all things photography. Whether it's editing retreats, or online courses, I'm constantly adding to my knowledge and skillset to deliver the best quality and experience to my families and couples.

Erica made our wedding day super easy. We started the process about 8-9 months before the wedding, and she gave us plenty of time to plan out our photo ideas. We also had a blast with the engagement photos. She gave us everything we needed to prepare. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet Erica when she did the photos for my sisters wedding, and they highly recommended her too. Everyone had fun taking being in pictures and we are excited to take more family photos with Erica in the future!
