Marin Rose Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Madison Lake, MN
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,050

Midwest -based photographer and 2026 bride who truly understands how meaningful your wedding day is 🤍 I focus on capturing natural, candid moments that feel genuine, emotional, and uniquely you. I’m currently building my wedding portfolio, which means I bring a hands-on, intentional approach to every couple I work with. My goal is to create a relaxed, comfortable experience so you can be fully present while I document the moments you’ll cherish forever ✨

“We hired Marin Rose Photography for our wedding day and couldn't be happier with our choice. From our first conversation, she was kind and easy to work with—the kind of photographer who makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Beyond just taking photos, she went above and beyond by helping us with details that had nothing to do with photography, which showed how much she cares about making our day special. Her communication was reliable and gentle throughout the entire planning process, and we always felt like we could ask her anything. The photos she captured are stunning and truly reflect the love and joy we felt that day. We'd recommend Marin Rose Photography to any couple looking for someone who will treat their wedding like it's her own.”

I’m a certified photographer who specializes in lifestyle imagery, including engagements and weddings.

“Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!”

I love all things that involve being creative wether that is baking and decorating cupcakes, practicing calligraphy, or decorating.

“I have been lucky enough to work with Andrea and the team at Budding Creations on many occasions and the final product that they deliver is truly some of the most incredible floral design I have seen in over 7 years as a wedding planner. Recently I worked with Andrea to turn a client's whimsy garden wedding into something beyond what the bride could even dare to envision. The look on the Bride's face when she saw what Andrea had created for her wedding reception is something I will never forget! Attention to detail and thoughtful design as well as impeccable taste are all highlights of working with this team. I am confident that any couple's floral dreams are possible when working with Budding Creations.”

Flower Moxie – Do-It-Yourself Wedding Flowers

  • Serves Madison Lake, MN

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

“We decided to do our own wedding flowers to save money, and Flower Moxie made the whole process feel simple and stress-free. Their team got back to us right away whenever we had questions, and they walked us through everything we needed to know. The how-to videos they provided were clear and easy to follow, which gave us the confidence to actually pull it off. On the day of our wedding, our arrangements turned out beautiful and our guests had no idea we made them ourselves. If you're thinking about DIY flowers but are nervous about it, Flower Moxie is the way to go. We saved a ton of money and felt so proud of what we created.”

Hey there!! My name is Alexis and I'm so glad you're here. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Hankinson, ND, with ties to Minneapolis as well, so I am in MN often and will gladly come wherever you are! I love the all things outdoors, especially forests and couldn't live without coffee.

“I had Alexis (and Sam) photograph my wedding at the Avalon Events Center on 6/13. She was awesome every step of the way, from having a huge bag of wedding kit items, helping pose and manage family for photos, and coming up with ideas for photos to make use of the large gap of time we had between the ceremony and the grand march. I don't think I saw her and Sam put down their cameras the entire 8 hours they were there on that day, so I'm excited to get the full gallery of photos! She was also able to rush us out for some awesome sunset photos when we only had a few minutes to get them. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Her price is extremely reasonable for the great quality of service and photos she provides.”

“Louis Pettinelli Entertainment was a true pro from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, and they were a pleasure to work with in the lead up to our wedding. On the big day, their talents shone through as they played our exact music playlist and did a fantastic job as the emcees, keeping the energy high and our guests entertained. They came dressed impeccably and had the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band and DJ - they truly helped make our special day unforgettable.”
