Jeff DoseΒ PhotographyΒ 

5.0

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Monticello, MN

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love being out doors, visiting new places, and photographing people that are a little crazy for each other. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œMy wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!”

β€œFrom the beginning of our wedding planning my husband and I both agreed that photography was very important to us. We had our first meeting with Adam and MB and knew right away we had found our match. Not only are they incredibly talented but they are also so kind and brought so much ease and fun to our day. We received numerous compliments from our wedding party and guests. You can tell they love what they do and genuinely care about the couples they work with, this isn't just a "job" to them. We truly had the best wedding day; we laughed, we cried and now we have amazing photos of it all. 10/10 Highly recommend Adam Kennedy Photography.”

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œGoing into the wedding planning process, my now husband and I didn’t have a strong vision for what we wanted in terms of photography. We just wanted to have lots of fun and end up with some great candid shots. We chose Original Weddings because we really liked their Instagram photos, and they had pricing options that fit our budget comfortably. Their online platform and regular communication made the process super simple and straightforward. We met with the Original team and our photographer, Eugene, a month or so before the wedding, and gave him pretty much no direction except that we wanted a lot of candid shots. The day of the wedding, he was on point. He got amazing candid shots, but also recommended certain group photos or locations for us to shoot throughout the evening. We are so thrilled with how our photos turned out, and owe it all to Eugene’s guidance, skill, and professionalism.”

Tonya HjortΒ PhotographyΒ

Monticello, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

There are so many reasons why I love weddings: I love all of the little details, the way you get to express who you are as a couple, and the excitement of capturing your special day! My job as a photographer is to witness your story. I realize your story is unique to you and your fiancΓ©. Your story doesn't stop at the wedding, it continues to grow and blossom with every change in life. That's why I want to focus on getting photos that will stand the test of time. These photos are bigger than just the wedding day - they will be in hallways of homes, placed in photo books, and be passed down to future generations.

β€œWould give 6 stars if I could - Tonya is truly incredible. Not only did we love her for her attention to detail, willingness to go above and beyond at our engagement shoot & wedding, how she made us feel comfortable, her efficiency (we got to enjoy our wedding and not spend hours taking pictures, but still have every shot we want!) - but our family and friends even commented on how lovely she was! Talent, kindness, thorough, communicative, collaborative with us and our vendors - I cannot recommend Tonya enough! She impressed me from the start when I met with her for our consultation and she had a presentation of the packages, recommendations, and even a sample timeline. Thank you Tonya 3”

Keighla's Fresh FaceΒ PhotographyΒ 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Monticello, 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 picturesβ€”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
β€œHiring 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 wereβ€”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 designedβ€”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 naturallyβ€”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 joyβ€”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 treeβ€”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 photosβ€”she tells the story.”

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
β€œFirst, 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!”

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.”

As a married photography duo with over 14 years of experience and 600+ weddings documented, we specialize in creating true-to-life/timeless imagery that tells your unique love story.

β€œWOW, where do I begin. Kasey and Tyler are masters at what they do! From two different engagement sessions to our wedding day, they knew exactly how to get the "perfect shot". Our wedding day came with a small amount of "conveniently timed" rain (during our first look and wedding party photos!), and they knew exactly how to work with what we had (a tall tree to hide under and an umbrella..). The attached photo was taken during a downpour rain and it STILL looks beautiful!! They were incredibly organized and all photos were pre-planned so they had a set plan in order to avoid wasting time. They listened to what my husband and I wanted, and made sure we were taking care of ourselves (eh-hem, reminding us to eat multiple times throughout the day..). They were so easy going but didn't have a problem putting their foot down if a random family member or other vendor were "problematic" (per the brides request!!). I cannot wait to work with them again! THANK YOU Kasey and Tyler for being the best in the business!!! 3”

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
β€œFrom the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!”

β€œEmily is a talented photographer with a keen eye for detail and a positive energy that helps keep her sessions really positive and fun! My partner and I originally booked Emily for our engagement photos, but did not have a date set for our wedding since we couldn’t book our venue until the next calendar year. We had so much fun during our engagement session that we knew we wanted to book Emily for our wedding as well. She was super flexible and understanding of our predicament, and luckily enough, she was able to accommodate our situation. When we reached out a couple of months after our engagement session, we were able to book with her. When our wedding day came, she was fantastic! She was super positive and worked really well with the different personalities of our families. We got our sneak peeks from the wedding in just a couple days, and they were so gorgeous! I know we made the right choice with booking Emily, and I would highly recommend her to any couple considering a photographer who can truly capture the essence of your big day!”

You two & your marriage is what REALLY matters - and I’m a firm believer that your wedding photography experience should reflect that! When you feel valued, cared for & comfortable, you walk away with more than just photos. I'm not just obsessed with your gorgeous florals, I'm also committed to making you feel comfortable & cared for so that your wedding photos look like YOU on (one of) the best days of your life!

β€œI spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for. She exuded calm and was incredibly organized, her professionalism showing in every planning session and resource. She even provided a photography planning guide full of wedding day resources, tips, and vendor recommendations. On the day of our wedding, Natalie navigated my massive bridal party with ease, capturing every carefully considered detail and breathtaking wide-angle shot of every moment. We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. And then, while we were on our honeymoon, she surprised us only a few days later with stunning sneak peek shots! She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.”

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

β€œOmg Ari is a life saver. She is without a doubt the only reason our wedding day went smoothly. She knows what she is doing and she helped me with more than I thought a photographer would. That shows how much she cares about making the photos look good for her clients. Also, her personality is amazing. Even this introvert could vibe and not feel uncomfortable. Meaning I know my photos are going to look more natural. 110% recommend.”

β€œI literally cried when we got our photos back! We couldn’t have asked for a more talented photographer! Liv made the experience so comfortable. My fiancΓ© and I were able to just be ourselves, which made the whole session fun and natural. She came prepared with the perfect pose ideas, guiding us without making anything feel unnatural. She has an amazing eye for these moments and every photo she captured is absolutely stunning. Liv truly managed to capture our love in the most authentic way, and we’ll cherish these pictures forever.”

β€œDanielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!”

β€œJasmine was AMAZING during our wedding. Not only did she take beautiful pictures, but she also was there with us for the whole process. She was always available to help give us advice for the small details. Jasmine was very professional the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to capture our perfect day. She is also wildly creative. We ended up taking some gorgeous pictures in an elevator in our venue! I would recommend Jasmine as a photographer any day!”
