Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even start?! We had Hanna Marie Events for our Day of Coordinator, Content Creation, and we also did the Wedding Management Package. If I could go back, I would do the same thing over again! From the very beginning, Hanna felt like a friend. She’s incredibly sweet, down to earth, and is truly there to support you in creating the best day of your life. On top of that, she’s very knowledgeable, organized, and can probably answer any question you’d ever have. Throughout the planning process, I always felt supported. Hanna responds quickly to emails and was always in my corner helping me make the right decisions when I had no clue what I was doing. There’s no way our wedding would have turned out so seamless and beautiful if it wasn’t for HME. On our wedding day, everything went smoothly and beautifully. They were so on top of everything, they worked with the other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page, it couldn’t have gone better. Having them there took off more stress than I can explain, and instead of worrying about random things, we got to enjoy our day and take in each moment. Lastly, content creation! We opted out of doing a videographer and instead chose content creation with HME. Best decision ever!!! She captured all the moments, big and small. She captured details from the venue, our first look, ceremony, dancing, etc etc. Anything you’d want videos of, Hanna’s got it. It’s been so fun to reminisce on our day, and looking back at all the videos is the best part. Hanna captured once in a lifetime moments that came and went in an instant, but now we have forever. Thank you SO MUCH Hanna, Brooke Team. You guys are amazing!!!!!

  • Beauty professional

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 did my makeup as well as my mother’s for my wedding day, and there aren’t enough positive words I could use to describe the wonderful experience I had with her. She is so truly talented at her craft and is easy and fun to work with! I was very pleased with my trial run and she somehow perfected the look even more for the big day - I have never felt more beautiful than I did at my wedding thanks to the work she did. A true professional with an enjoyable personality and overall great vibes. Can’t thank her enough!

Jessica Knighton Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (38 reviews)
Minneapolis, MN
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900

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'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.

I am so happy I chose Primped for hair and makeup on my wedding day, I felt like a Princess! I have never had my hair done so perfectly and my makeup so flawless. Primped has a very smooth system and were transparent with their menu and pricing. Having a trial built in to the package for me was huge. Being able to test my style out ahead of time allowed me to not have to be fully with it for my 6am start. Sabrina and Kimmy were outstanding for makeup and hair, respectfully. Even though it was very hot and humid outside and no air-conditioning in the church, my very long hair barely dropped and my makeup stayed perfect all day. I absolutely recommend Primped for all wedding beauty needs!

From the moment we began our journey with the Lumber Exchange, every staff member was flexible, friendly, helpful, and kind. Everyone we worked with truly wanted our day to be special. The food is incredible, and the chefs were so attentive to dietary needs—during our tasting they sat down with us, and the head chef even came out during the reception to make sure everything was perfect. The entire team puts their best foot forward. The value of the service, food, beverages, and overall experience is absolutely worth the cost, and compared to other venues, it’s not overpriced in my opinion. The Lumber Exchange offers several beautiful event spaces and is conveniently connected to a hotel, which made everything so easy for us and our guests. Our day was magical, and the Lumber Exchange team was truly wonderful. We look forward to hosting another event there someday and will always hold our wedding day close to our hearts!

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first toured Nicollet Island Pavillion we met Morgan. She was incredibly helpful starting from the initial planning stages, selecting a date, and arranging a special tasting to accommodate the bride's dairy and gluten allergies. Mintahoe was so on top of it that they even had multiple gluten and dairy free wedding cakes for the bride to taste. This was especially impressive to us because other gluten and dairy free bakeries wouldn't even accommodate cake tastings. (The cakes were all delicious. We went with chocolate raspberry/ lemon poppyseed with lemon curd and vanilla buttercream.) Morgan went above and beyond through every step of the planning process, and she and the Mintahoe staff thought of everything. At our final planning meeting we met Nikita. She had the venue set up and then we went through every step of the day according to the timeline. On the big day, Nikita coordinated with our DJ, Pastor, and Photographers and things could not have gone better! A few things that really stood out to us were: - After the ceremony, the venue had our favorite drinks and small appetizer plates ready for us in the back room. - The late night snacks (nacho bar and wings) were also allergen free. - They put up all of our signage and place cards (which saves a lot of stress). Overall, the day was so perfect because of Morgan, Nikita, and Mintahoe's professionalism and planning. As the bride and groom, we were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day!

Even the feel of the petals is so incredibly real, it is amazing. We had an installation at our bridal shop for a trunk show and I so badly wished I could take the arrangements home with me. Absolutely stunning. I will definitely be using Reverie & Rose for my wedding in the future!!

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.

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.

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!

Crave was one of the caterers at a wedding we planned. In addition to setting up and managing their own food, they were a huge help to the other caterer that was late and underprepared. As a wedding planner, any vendor that is helpful with things they don't have to be helpful with, particularly with one that is doing the same thing they are, is amazing in my book and someone I want to work with again. Plus, their food is great and they have a great presentation for stations. You won't be disappointed!

Even when the lighting in our church ceremony was less than ideal, she put in so much extra time and effort to make them as good as they could be. Ricky did our videography and it was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined and we were so happy we had the video package. I felt so lucky to have found Lollipop media for our special day!

As a bride, I could not have been more happy with Machine Shop as a venue. Upon our initial tour with Sheridan, it was clear the Machine Shop team would be incredibly professional, accommodating, and organized throughout the entire planning process leading up to our event, as well as day of. Sheridan was so personable and a pleasure to work with. Having attended several weddings leading up to and after our day, I've gained a sense of appreciation for how important the staff is to the flow of the day. 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.

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.

We're Adam and MaryBeth Kennedy and together we make up the crew behind AKP. With over 15 years of experience photographing weddings, newborns, family portraits and everything in between, we’ve truly seen it all. Whether you're saying "I do" in a backyard, a lake country resort, or somewhere totally unexpected—we're here for all of it. We love what we do, and we’d love to do it for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Adam and MB are the absolute best. They photographed our fall wedding 2024 at the St Paul College Club, as well as an engagement photo session the summer in Minneapolis. 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.

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.

We met Matthew and his second photographer, Maddie, at the Twin Cities Bridal Show and felt an instant connection. From that first conversation, Matthew understood our Whimsical Fairy Tale theme and our love for Disney in a way that felt truly special. On our wedding day, both Matthew and Maddie brought such a calm, reassuring energy that put us at ease and allowed us to just be ourselves. Capturing the magic of the day from the first look, ceremony, to the candid shots capturing the real moments of the evening, the laughter, the tears, the joy, that are enchanting and magical. It's been a year since our wedding and seeing his photos again invokes the same magic all over again. Matthew's creative eye turned our vision into photos that look like they're straight out of a storybook. We're so grateful to have found photographers who didn't just take pictures, but helped us tell our love story in the most beautiful way possible.

Working with Hannah was great! She was attentive, offered recommendations based off of inspo pics, and was very helpful through the whole process. She also made me feel very comfortable and walked me through her application process, which I really appreciated as someone who hardly ever wears full glam. I will 100% be booking with Hannah again!

Bonnie has had a camera in her hands since high school. What began as a quiet fascination with documenting life turned into a calling when she photographed her first wedding in 2017. Bonnie believes that some of the most meaningful moments in life are often the most fleeting, but photography gives us the rare gift of remembering them forever. Her approach centers on presence over perfection, leaving room for genuine laughter, quiet tenderness, and unscripted joy to unfold naturally. Her mission is to document your most cherished memories - the joy, the vulnerability, the celebration - to create photographs that become lasting heirlooms.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bonnie is such a gem, we had so much fun working with her! During our engagement shoot and wedding day, we were constantly laughing and just having a ball, she made us feel completely comfortable. Bonnie is chill, down-to-earth, friendly, and so much fun. She had great suggestions and was down with our ideas, too. We're extremely appreciative of her communication, transparency, and flexibility, and we can't wait to hopefully work with her again for family photos! Could not recommend her highly enough, she's the best!

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. Because no two couples (or weddings) are exactly alike, I customize my approach specific to you. From the moment we connect, it’s my goal to help you feel at-ease. 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!

Rachel did an amazing job for both our engagement and wedding photos. I knew she was the right fit during our first meeting in which I could see her organization, professionalism, and expertise. I felt completely as ease throughout our wedding day knowing we would get all the pictures we asked for, and more. She was so kind and helpful (and did a great job wrangling a large family/wedding party). Our pictures are beautiful and I can’t recommend her enough!
