Eric Turner Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (12 reviews)
Minneapolis, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

Bonnie Drake Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
Minneapolis, MN
  • 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.

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!

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

Ceri was a joy to have as our photographer! She captured both our engagement photos and wedding day. All our friends and family commented on how efficient, kind and patient she was. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful photos of our day and we felt so comfortable with her. Ceri excels at capturing moments and memories and really getting to know you as a couple.

Photography is more than a career to me, it's my passion. I want to give you an inspired photographic experience. ‍ Your wedding images should tell your story, not mine or anyone else's.

Through my lens, I strive to faithfully translate the love and emotion you feel into timeless and genuine images, so five, ten, or fifty years from the future you can relive that day the same way you experienced it. The timeless photographs will become your treasured and preserved works of art, ready to be gathered together in an album or hung on your walls.

I want to create with you a time capsule: a way to transport you back to your wedding day and how it all felt. I believe photography is the purest form of storytelling. I live for the unrehearsed, beautiful and genuine images. Those filled with pure joy and even tears. I also know how to help you treasure those family photos (your family ROCKS!) and capture all the details that become so precious. Your story is AMAZING and I can't wait to be there to celebrate together!

Laura brings excitement, kindness, and a little spunk to her sessions -- allowing us to feel relaxed and have fun. She was easy to stay in communication with and was open to all of my ideas. We booked Laura for her timeliness style, and she absolutely delivered on that. We've received endless compliments about our photos, and other members of our family booked her for a session after seeing ours! Thanks for everything, Laura! We appreciate you so much!

Mycah Bain Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Minneapolis, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,950

Capturing your beautiful & intimate moments is why I do what I do. Whether it's the brush of a hand, a first look, or an inside joke whispered at just the right time... I am constantly seeking to capture those beautiful moments. Those real, stunning and timeless moments that make up YOUR relationship. However, I pride myself on being more than a wedding photographer – As someone who has been an intimate part of over 200 weddings, I vow to be your number one hype woman, your timeline planner, your moment of zen, your personal cleavage taper, your family wrangler, your time pauser, and your memory keeper.

If you are still looking for a photographer (no matter the occasion) stop right now and hire Mycah!! Mycah did our engagement pictures, COVID small ceremony, and finally our real wedding & reception in July 2021...and every single picture is beyond perfect. I am still getting compliments to this day of how wonderful Mycah was during my whole wedding. She knows how to get everyone's attention and listen to her directions for big group photos -even that family member that tries to control the situation! We had a huge group of friends, not a wedding party, and Mycah was able to get the most amazing pictures of the entire group (think 35+ people! ). She thought of every picture that I would never think of asking her to take. She is the kindest, easiest to talk to, most caring person you want at your wedding to take your pictures. We are not the most comfortable people in front of the camera and are super awkward but Mycah makes you feel at ease AND you end up looking so natural when you get your pictures!! I have no doubt that I will be asking Mycah to take photos of my family for the rest of time. She is super talented at what she does and you will love every picture she takes!!

Hey! I'm Janet. I'm a photographer/videographer based in the Twin Cities, specializing in elopements and intimate weddings. I document couples who are unapologetically themselves and want to do things their way - even if that's out of the ordinary.

I'll start by saying that I'm not typically comfortable in front of the camera and was worried about that going into our engagement shoot. However, Janet did a great job of listening to me and checking in throughout the session to see how I was doing - her communication and ability to adapt put me at ease! Janet is so fun and if you aren't friends with her already, you will be by the end of the session. On top of that, she is professional and talented at what she does and wants nothing more than to capture the true essence of people. We couldn't be happier with how our engagement photos turned out!!

Penny here! Extroverted world traveling, dog snuggler who use creatively candid photography to connect with couples getting married. My method includes learning about my clients to establish trust, while adding an abundance of energy and ideas to showcase epic portraits and real moments throughout the day. I believe that people love candid photos because they get to relive the unexpected moments and connection they were having with those around them. From eye-popping laughs to full squishy hugs, I want to capture it all!

Photography was super important to my husband and I and Penny exceeded every expectation we had. Her unique style is exactly what we were looking for and she caught precious moments throughout the wedding as well as captured the absolute must-have shots as well. She made sure the day was structured so that we got all the type of photos we wanted to have. She also was absolutely INCREDIBLE the day of the wedding and how comfortable she made everyone feel. She honestly felt like part of the group and was a huge hit at the wedding. I can’t recommend Penny enough.

I'm a Minnesota-Based Wedding and Boudoir Photographer and believe in documenting the moments that matter most to you. Most days you can find me hanging with my three boys in yoga pants and my favorite baseball hat. And, of course, sipping my creamer with a slash of coffee. I’m not a girly girl, I don’t do the color pink, and can’t braid for the life of me - hence why God blessed me with boys. It’s those boys who are the heart behind my business.

Christina Naselli was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was clear, kind, flexible, fun and respectful throughout the entire planning process, which made her a pleasure to collaborate with. Christina created a thoughtful wedding day timeline for me and was happy to modify it based on my feedback to ensure we were aligned. She also provided incredibly helpful tips and advice and assisted with coordinating my wedding party. On the actual wedding day, Christina kept me calm with her upbeat energy. And most importantly, the quality of her work is stunning - the photos perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding and we could not be happier. I cannot recommend Christina highly enough!

I have been a photographer for 11 years, and specializing in weddings since 2014. I grew up in Minneapolis, but am far from a typical Midwesterner!

I’VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL FOR 10 YEARS. Yup, crazy I know! I've joined countless couples in their adventures of love. Why? People are my passion. Photography sprouted out of my desire to connect with people and make it known to the world that every human has equal worth and beauty. I dabbled in photojournalism before I fell in love with weddings. When I was in Kenya I had the privilege of documenting a few weddings, and that's when there was a SPARK.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Mariah doing henna for her at a local cultural event, she had such passion for cultures and photography, and was such a genuine and happy person! I followed her work knowing that one day I'd like to work with her. When a few years later I was planning my own multicultural wedding, (and launching my wedding decor business), Mariah was the perfect fit. Knowing that she had knowledge and experience and more importantly passion for the craziness of cultural weddings/events was huge. She took the time to meet with me and my fiance to go over what we wanted, what the focus of the event should be, how we were doing our wedding, answering all our questions, giving us suggestions, etc. Even though as usual on the wedding day some things were running late, and we were getting antsy with the picture taking, she kept her calm, kept us laughing, and made it easy for us to enjoy the moment. We received so many amazing pictures of us, of our friends and family, and such great captures from our wedding day and the events beforehand. Could not be happier with how the day went and how the pictures turned out (I just wish we could have posed all day and had more awesome pics)!! She truly captured the joy we felt that weekend - and she was feeling it through the weekend as well!! It was a blast working with her team!

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!
