Shoreview, MN
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

I have a passion to share raw and real moments between people. I want to be able to tell stories the way our eyes experience things. Keeping them as authentic as they can be. When you look at my images I want you to be able to feel all of the emotions behind the image itself.

Hannah Kristine Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was easy, focused, helpful, and communicative from the very beginning. The quality of her work was truly professional, producing beautiful and special photos that captured all the important moments of our special day. Hannah prioritized making sure I was comfortable and okay on my wedding day, always being so sweet and helpful. She created a detailed timeline and made sure she knew exactly which photos were most important to us. I didn't have to worry about the photography at all during the wedding because I had full confidence that Hannah would be taking amazing shots. She helped us feel confident and natural while she was taking the photos. Overall, Hannah Kristine Photography provided an amazing experience and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos we have to remember our wedding day.

Craig and I picked Emmerlee for our photographer after stalking her underwater photo skills on IG. That is how we knew she was the one for us. She was able to perfectly capture our vision for timeless nighttime city scape photo shoot with a little twist of our own personality. She nailed it! We were so in love with our engagement photos that we knew we would love our wedding photos. Her talent, attention to detail, and fabulous eye helped to capture the ascetic we were going for and letting us be our selves and letting our own personalities show too. Our wedding day was perfect. We are so excited to see our photos, we are also so glad we chose a second shooter. Barclay also killed it, brining another beautiful fun eye that matched our exact wants without us knowing it. You can feel the passion Barclay brings to each shot. Thank you both so much for helping capture the best day of our life!! You were so fun to work with and made us feel like the hottest versions of ourselves ever!

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Shoreview, MN

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was looking for a bridal hairstylist in the Minneapolis area on Instagram and came across Kristy’s work. I could tell from her page and our first email correspondence that she had incredible talent and true passion for what she does for brides! I cannot recommend Kristy enough! From the moment we met, she made me feel so at ease knowing she had my bridal hair under control. She was not only incredibly professional, arriving on time and fully prepared, but also super talented. My hair looked absolutely stunning and lasted the entire day and night— through the rain! She took my vision and elevated it, making me feel so confident and beautiful. If you're looking for a stylist who blends personality, professionalism, and top-notch skill, she's the one!

Awarded Best of Zola
We used Green Mill Catering for our wedding this April, and I can't say enough good things about them! The biggest feedback we got on our wedding was that it was the best food they had ever tasted. We had a hard time choosing during the tasting, because everything was just so good! They are really flexible with the menu arrangement, and even made a custom-requested dessert for us. They accommodated every request and question, and were so patient as we debated our choices. I wish I had more photos of the meals, but the presentation was equally as great! Everything was truly delicious, but we especially recommend trying the almond crusted chicken, the mashed potatoes, the crab-stuffed mushrooms, the coconut chicken skewers, the mini walleye cakes, the Swedish meatballs, and the mini shooters.

A’bulae is wonderful! My husband and I do not live in town so we chose the Essentials Package with A’bulae so it would make the planning easier. It really did help everything go smoothly! First, the A’bulae venue is gorgeous and perfect for any weather condition (which helped me not to feel stressed!). The people working at A’bulae respond to emails promptly and professionally. They also help lay out a day-of schedule and handle a lot of the planning. They reach out and meet with the couple several times throughout the wedding planning process to put everyone at ease. Another plus is their in-house decorations, linens, chairs, and tables they set up for weddings. They have several options you can choose from. Further, while A’bulae does require you to use their in-house catering, the food is amazing. All the apps and entrees we chose were delicious. Above all, my favorite part about A’bulae is how they allow you to personalize your wedding as you see fit. My husband and I made our own monogram and cake topper, we made a slideshow to scroll during the social hour, my husband played piano, and we did an about-the-couple trivia game on the screens. It was really fun and made the event special and unique to us. A’bulae worked really hard to make this happen. Even when there was a slight technology issue, they called someone to figure out the solution remotely, and they had the problem solved very quickly. The team worked hard to make everything seamless. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I’m really glad we chose A’bulae.

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Meg is not only beyond talented but also the kindest human being. We are so grateful to have had Meg as our photographer, she did beyond an amazing job capturing our engagement photos and wedding photos. She is on top of everything, extremely helpful and so kind. I had multiple people come up to me raving about how great she was at our wedding. Definitely our favorite wedding vendor we worked with!

It has been nearly two years since my husband and I got married and it is safe to say Breanna was the perfect photographer for us. She answered any questions I had and captured all the beautiful moments of our wedding day. Breanna was also a wonderful hype woman, encouraging my ideas and making me feel beautiful while I was getting ready. She even loved the idea of recreating my mom’s wedding day photo, and she captured it perfectly. She was the perfect choice!

Hi I'm Kieran! I'm an inclusive luxury Photographer in St. Paul, MN but I love traveling all over the state! I specialize in Weddings, Couples and Boudoir Photography. I LOVE love! If theres a moment I can capture that involes a loving glance at your partner while you dance on your wedding day or a transformative moment while doing boudoir that makes you remember WHO you are- I want to be the one to capture that emotion <3

I spent so long planning our wedding day and even though it was freezing and rained, Black Gem captured every moment so perfectly that the rain felt magical and meant to be rather than a setback. Everyone felt comfortable and confident, and it showed in the photos. She left nothing to chance and came with posing ideas and great backdrop spots in a venue she’d never been to. I’ve even booked with her after because she’s that good and makes me feel like myself.

Awarded Best of Zola
As event pros of 13 years, the Lowlands is one of our team's absolute favorite venues to work in! I truly can't recommend the space enough. The staff are top notch - communicative, kind, fun, flexible, & always on top of every little detail. They bring a sense of calm & an above & beyond helpful attitude to the event venue space that is often lacking, making for such easygoing, smoothly running, and FUN events. We have done numerous events in this space over the past couple years, as both wedding day coordinators & floral/design pros, and in all experiences have been over the moon working in this space. Venue wise, we love the combination of unique character the space has to offer, and a truly customizable backdrop for designing one of a kind events. The Lowlands is a favorite venue of our clients & our team alike!
