Alexandra Robyn Photo + Design 

5.0

Lakeville, MN
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $6,500

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

  • Starts at $1,800

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first time that I worked with Nicole, we've developed a relationship that goes beyond simply being colleagues in the wedding industry. Nicole is personable, friendly, dedicated and she clearly LOVES what she does. I've had the opportunity to work alongside her at a few wedding receptions; she and I have also traded referrals for events as well. I am a BIG fan of her work; the turnaround is VERY fast, in my experience. I have been so impressed that I also became a client, hiring her to do a photo shoot of my children for a surprise birthday gift for my wife. In my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Nicole and Little Mac Design.

Emily means it when she says she will be your storyteller and biggest cheerleader! I audibly gasped when my husband and I first opened the sneak peaks to our wedding photos. She so beautifully captured the sweet, wholesome and hilarious moments between ourselves and our family members. From my husband cleaning up my knee after I gracefully fell to the tender joy on my mom’s face as I shared a dance with my dad. She fully understood the assignment and clearly embraced our personalities and love. Before the big day, she helped us to feel comfortable, silly and authentic during our engagement shoot. Yes, we even had a little fun with some department store styled photos just because! Emily is one of a kind as a human, artist and professional! We are so grateful for her!

Lakeville, MN
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,200

Simple things that set us apart from the rest... I make any necessary announcements throughout the night but avoid the annoying DJ chatter that takes away from an amazing event. I play the music you want to hear. I let my clients have as much control over the music as they want. DJing since 2012 with ZERO cancellations. 300+ events of experience (weddings, dances, schools, etc.). Lights for the dance floor, with colorful patterns and shapes but without being overwhelming or annoying. Lyric editing capabilities, to keep the night fun.

We hired Only Toons DJ Service to provide the music and lighting for our wedding reception. Dan was very responsive and professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day, which we really appreciated while planning a hectic wedding! The DJ himself was organized, prepared, and talented. He set up beautiful uplighting around our venue that really enhanced the atmosphere. Even though we didn't have a big dancing crowd, he was still able to keep the energy and vibes upbeat with his music selections while folks mingled and conversed. Overall, we were very happy with Only Toons - he delivered a high quality service and contributed positively to our special day. Their lighting and DJ skills definitely took our reception to the next level while staying within our budget. We'd happily recommend them to other couples planning a wedding!

RS Florals

Lakeville, MN
  • Florist

RS Florals was founded by me, Rachel — a Minnesota native with a lifelong love for creating meaningful, beautiful things. After studying retail merchandising and communication at the University of Minnesota and working in fashion in New York and Chicago, I felt drawn back home and back to hands-on creativity. Floral design allows me to combine artistry, storytelling, and connection. I’m passionate about creating timeless florals that feel personal, photograph beautifully, and are paired with a thoughtful, stress-free experience for every couple.

RS Florals provided exceptional service for our wedding. Their communication was accurate, timely, and professional throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was exquisite - the floral arrangements were truly breathtaking, as if they came straight out of a wedding magazine. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, from the ceremony arrangements to the stunning reception decor. Nothing was missed, and they helped make our wedding look like a million-dollar event. We cannot recommend RS Florals highly enough for any couple looking for a florist that will bring their wedding vision to life with perfection.

I never fail to laugh really loudly or really quietly with that little weezy noise, dance crazily to songs that someone would usually slow dance to & of course to ones that have a solid beat, I sing when I talk & am the person who sings a song that goes with what someone is saying (kind of like a Pitch Perfect riff off, but only with myself), and I wholeheartedly love what I get to do everyday.

Always such a joy being able to work with Jacquie!!! She's such a hard worker and always makes everyone around her feel so comfortable and the best looking selfs in every photo :)

Keighla's Fresh Face Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Lakeville, MN

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Keighla was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I stumbled upon her work online and was immediately struck by how beautifully composed her photos were—full of texture, light, and balance that felt intentional and artful without ever feeling staged. From our very first interaction, she was reassuring, organized, and professional in a way that gave me so much confidence. Her packages were transparent, flexible, and thoughtfully designed—we especially loved that our engagement session was included (and turned out so beautifully, we used the photos everywhere from our wedding website to table decor). The engagement session was the first time we met her in person, and it confirmed everything I hoped: Keighla just gets it. She understood our vibe and the space we chose and made us feel instantly comfortable. I left that day already trusting her vision. On the wedding day, that trust only deepened. She was incredibly sensitive to some personal family dynamics and made sure my husband and I always felt prioritized and seen. Her timeline suggestions kept the day flowing naturally—and far better than the original version we’d created. Once the formal portraits were done, she practically disappeared into the background, capturing so many candid moments with grace and creativity. We had ping pong and pickleball at our reception (not exactly easy to photograph), and somehow she caught those fast-paced moments with such clarity and joy—they’re some of our favorite images. Receiving our gallery was like getting to live the day all over again. The turnaround was quick, and the photos moved us deeply. I’m usually reserved and self-conscious, but she made me look and feel beautiful. Even images from parts of the reception I missed feel like precious windows into moments I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. One favorite: a photo of my cousin mid-return in a wild ping pong rally. Another: everyone admiring the back of my dress. And I’ll never forget the idea to take portraits in front of a blooming crab apple tree—it’s led us to keep a sick tree in our own backyard, just because those blossoms now mean so much to us. Keighla is an exceptional blend of artist and professional. Her time management, communication, and people skills are as strong as her creative vision. If you’re looking for someone to capture your wedding in a way that feels personal, artistic, and truly you, I can’t recommend her enough. She doesn’t just take wedding photos—she tells the story.

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

I’m Sammy and I am the founder and creator behind Ackin Events. As someone who has a passion for serving others, working with couples to make their unique visions come to life is what I enjoy most! The most important memories made on your wedding day are the moments that can never be recreated, and it’s my job to make sure everyone can be fully present in those moments. Seeing the groom’s reaction during the walk down the aisle is the absolute best! While everyone is looking back at the bride, I look forward because that reaction is a once in a lifetime moment.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sammy was an absolute rockstar! Choosing her as our day-of-coordinator was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From helping us nail down all the details to being the calm, reassuring voice we needed the day of, she was excellent! I wasn't quite sure I would need a day-of-coordinator since I'm very organized and DIY-oriented, but boy am I glad we did. Being able to spend the day relaxed knowing that Sammy had everything taken care of was a godsend. And, on top of it all, she's a joy to be around. I would recommend Sammy to anyone getting married.

Plain and simple, we just love being a part of your love story! We love to hear how you met and live the greatest day of your lives, thus far, with you! We love to make memories and have them to help you relive even the smallest details of your day, over and over again.

From the moment we booked Agape Moments, the communication with Kelly was excellent. She was very open and responsive throughout the entire process, which put us at ease. On the day of our wedding, Kelly was easy to work with and captured all the photos we wanted, plus some we didn't even know we would love. The final photos are absolutely beautiful and truly captured the essence of our special day. Agape Moments provided incredible value, and we are thrilled with the results. We highly recommend Kelly and Agape Moments to any couple looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer.
