  • Starts at $400

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.

Jessica Knighton Photography 

5.0

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
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

I truly cannot recommend this company enough! From start to finish, the entire process of booking hair and makeup for my wedding was seamless, organized, and completely stress-free. On a day when there are so many moving pieces, it was such a relief to work with a team that was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making everything perfect. I had the pleasure of working with Kimmy for my hair and makeup, and she was absolutely incredible. She really listened to what I envisioned and took the time to understand my style. During my trial, she made me feel so comfortable sharing feedback and making small adjustments, which meant so much to me. I never once felt rushed or dismissed—she truly wanted me to feel 100% confident. On the wedding day, everything came together beautifully. My hair and makeup looked flawless, lasted all day, and still felt like me. I felt confident, comfortable, and so well taken care of. My bridesmaids also had such a wonderful experience with the other stylists on the team. Everyone felt listened to, looked amazing, and the energy in the room was calm, fun, and professional all at once. It truly set the tone for the entire morning.

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

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.

Bonnie Drake Photography 

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

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!

My husband and I hired Morgan last minute to capture our wedding day. We weren't sure we would even hire a videographer for our day. It wasn't until I saw some of Morgan's films that I knew we had to hire her. When our wedding day came, Morgan and her assistant were a joy to work with the entire day. Once we got our wedding film, Evan and I were blown away by how perfectly she captured and curated our film. It truly shows how our day felt and brings us to tears every time we watch it. Many family members that couldn't make it due to the virus now had the chance to watch the best moments from our day and hear our vows exactly how they were said. I couldn't ask for a more perfect person to capture my day. Hire Morgan for your wedding day! You won't regret it! Thank you so much, Morgan! Xo, Mr. + Mrs. Lagerloef

WarPaint International was the beauty team for my wedding day and what a well oiled machine they are! We had 13 people getting hair and makeup services, which could have easily become chaos, but because of the personalized schedule they created for us, the communication before, during, and after the booking process, and the ample amount of artisans they were able to provide everything went off without a hitch. When arriving at my venue the team was already there set up and ready to go! We definitely felt like royalty walking into our own personal glam team. Wendy did my hair and spent extra time perfecting my retro glam waves, making sure I was 100% happy with my look. Mia, Mariah, & Keely helped with the bridal party and everyone looked so beautiful and classy! If there were any adjustments to be made, these ladies got right to work without complaint to make sure everybody was satisfied with their services. You can tell this team is passionate about their work and have a lot of experience in wedding beauty. My recommendation would be to book well in advance so you don't lose your chance to work with them!

Hey, I'm Bobby! I'm an award-winning wedding filmmaker based in Minneapolis and shooting around the world.

We just got our wedding shot by Bobby. While we have not received our video yet, since it was very recent, we can not say enough great things about Bobby. He was absolutely amazing to work with! So professional, easy going, and fun! I have no doubt that we are going to love the final product based on some of the shots he was taking during our day. 10/10 would recommend him to anyone looking to have their day documented.
