We are a husband and wife team photographing weddings since 2010. We're total geeks that love music and films. When not photographing weddings, we love playing with our dogs and cats, watching music videos, cartoons, and horror movies, and photographing other things.

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! 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.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! It's been my life's mission to beautifully capture every couple's love story along with every new chapter in their lives (from proposals to growing families). Studio Delphianblue was founded in 2013 and is a fully woman-owned company based out of Burnsville MN. We DO travel outside of the Twin Cities metro area! I absolutely LOVE photographing proposals, engagement sessions and weddings, and my passion is reflected in my photography work.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first time we spoke, Danielle at Studio Delphianblue demonstrated her commitment to capturing our wedding perfectly. She was very easy to communicate with, and answered any questions we had. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted at first, but she asked all the right things to help us create a vision and guide us through it. She was thorough, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted and some we didn't even know we needed! The quality of her work is exceptional - she is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and brought a fun energy to the day. Every photo we've seen has exceeded our expectations, and she even uploaded our sneak peek photos quickly so we could share them with our loved ones. It honestly feels criminal to try and pick just one to attach to this review! We highly recommend Danielle and Studio Delphianblue to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
I feel so lucky to have found these amazing people! Heather and her incredible team feel like family to us, even though we only met a few months ago. They really care about their clients and want them to have the best photos possible. During the wedding, Heather would always make sure I was comfortable by giving me flattering poses and pointing her portable fan at me when I was too hot from dancing at the reception, ha! She stayed in communication with me, the other vendors, and her own team flawlessly, so I didn't have to worry about a thing. Not only was everything organized and efficient, but it was also fun! Our whole wedding party had a great time making jokes and messing around with the photographers, and seeing them have fun made the whole vibe a lot better. They hyped us up in every pose and made the day nothing but positive. I would highly recommend Heather and her team to anyone who wants a photographer who cares about them! I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day, and I have to say it is mainly because of these incredible photographers. Finally, the results speak for themselves! The pictures we received literally look like they're out of a movie. Their talent is unmatched and should be talked about more. The feelings and emotions of our special day were captured in such a natural and beautiful way. I am so grateful to have these pictures for life, and I can't wait to show my kids one day. I will never be able to forget what it felt like, thanks to these incredible people with unreal talent. I also cannot believe how easy it was to book her and for such a reasonable price! Booking Heather and her team was truly the best decision we could have made. I recommend them to anyone from all walks of life. You will be welcomed and taken care of like a friend or even family!

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Nicole definitely understood us, our venue, our guests.... She did an amazing job hustling throughout her time with us to get the shots we had on our list, and lots of amazing other pics. Our venue had beautiful architecture and Nicole did a great job taking advantage of the incredible backdrop. She was easy to work with and had our pics ready two weeks after the wedding. I have a photography background so my bar on our wedding pics was pretty high. Nicole over achieved.

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
Keighla, her photos, and her work quality are the BEST! From the start, she is super responsive - the first sign of a quality vendor. Then throughout the planning process, she guided us through our day of timeline and logistics with ease, giving us tips and guidance on all things wedding. We were okay not taking engagement photos until Keighla suggested that we do them in order to get comfortable in front of the camera and meet her before our wedding day. So smart! We loved taking those photos and are so happy we have them forever and it was so much fun getting to know each other. Keighla is your biggest photo hype girl when she’s behind the camera and she makes you feel so comfortable. She will keep your day on track and will be by your side from getting ready to dance floor and everything in between. When we got our photos back, we swooned over them! We still do to this day. She captures the best moments in the most beautiful way. Recommend Keighla’s Fresh Face Photos 100%!

Plain and simple, we just love being a part of your love story! We love to hear how you met and live the greatest day of your lives, thus far, with you! We love to make memories and have them to help you relive even the smallest details of your day, over and over again.

I am so incredibly thankful we chose Agape Moments Photography for our wedding. Our photos were one of the most important parts of the entire day to me, and I made sure Sarah knew that from the beginning. I told her that even if the cake didn’t show up or dinner was ruined, it would have been less upsetting to me than not having beautiful photos. That is how much they mattered to me. Sarah absolutely exceeded every expectation. She captured the big moments, the emotional moments, all the little details, my dress, the ceremony, the golden hour photos, and everything in between so beautifully. I honestly cannot even pick a top 10 because I am obsessed with every single gallery. What meant the most is that she truly listened to what mattered to me. She made sure I got the photos I wanted, and you can tell she put so much care into editing and delivering a gallery that we will treasure forever. I would recommend Agape Moments Photography over and over again, especially to any bride who deeply cares about her wedding photos like I did.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

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
I’m someone who usually avoids being in photos and never let anyone, not even my partner, take pictures of me. But working with Eric completely changed that. Quinn and I were blown away by our photos. The entire experience felt effortless, like hanging out with a friend. Eric is incredibly laid-back and easygoing, which made the session so enjoyable. If you’re camera-shy or nervous about having your photo taken, I can’t recommend Eric enough. You won’t regret it.

Booking Kailey for our wedding was a decision I’d make 100x over. From start to finish, she was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Her ability to capture the essence of our day so beautifully still has us speechless every time we look at our photos. Kailey was incredibly professional yet fun to be around; she struck the perfect balance of keeping things on track while making us laugh and feel completely at ease. When anything took longer than we planned, she was able to get us back on track while managing to capture all of the moments we wanted. As someone that is uncomfortable being photographed, she made it so easy to feel comfortable in front of the camera. What really stood out was her level of organization. She coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors, keeping the day flowing smoothly without us ever having to worry. Every moment felt effortless because of how well she planned and communicated. And the pictures were absolutely stunning. The way she sees the world through her lens is something special. We loved seeing the day through her eyes and are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. Kailey is a true talent, and working with her was one of the best choices we made for our wedding and engagement photos.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

Autumn G Photography is a journalistic style wedding photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am all about romantic photojournalism that captures authentic moments and beautiful portraits that truly tell the story of your day. I believe that everyone should get beautiful wedding photos. I will help create a detailed timeline of your day with quick turnaround time for images, and also offer an online gallery. I do have flexible payment plans available, making it even easier to book one of your most important vendors!

Our story is a little complicated. I am actually the mother of the groom. Both groom and bride are serving in the military overseas at 2 different bases. Between them, the bride's mother and I, we were dealing with planning a wedding with 4 different time zones. They asked me to find a photographer, which was in a different time zone from me (2 hours difference). I reached out to three photographers online, and Autumn was the only one to respond. Autumn was very helpful from the start. She was patient in dealing with all the different time zones, the busy-ness of military life, and even some procrastination on the part of the bride and groom. She helped develop a timeline for the pictures, but was flexible, making is easy to regroup and still get all the special pictures. She made sure to print out the questionnaire regarding certain desired photos so that none were missed. My son and daughter-in-law are thrilled with the pictures that Autumn captured. Even I’m still trying to choose which ones I want to print and which ones I want to make into an album. This leads me to one more thing that I love about Autumn. Our pictures are ours. We are not required to choose only a certain number of pictures, and then pay more if we want above and beyond. That was a huge plus in my book. I highly recommend Autumn for your wedding photography needs.

We are so happy that we chose Olivia as our wedding photographer. The photos we’ve received are absolutely beautiful and truly captured our day better than we could have imagined. Every image feels natural and genuine, and she did an incredible job capturing both the big moments and all of the little details that made our wedding so special. Looking through our photos brings back so many memories and emotions from the day. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and she was professional, organized, and made everything feel easy. She helped keep things running smoothly while making sure we got all of the photos that were important to us. Her talent is obvious in every photo she delivers. The quality, attention to detail, and ability to capture real moments is something we will always be grateful for. These are memories we’ll be able to look back on for the rest of our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with how she documented them. We cannot recommend Olivia enough and are incredibly grateful for the amazing work she did. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture your wedding beautifully, she is absolutely the person to hire.

WOW, 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.

From 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!!

We can’t say enough good things about them! From the start, they felt like part of the crew, super chill, easy to work with, and just fun to be around. On the big day, they somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling like they were in the way. They caught all the laughs, happy tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. And when we saw the photos/video? Absolutely blown away. It’s like they bottled up the whole feeling of the day, and now we get to relive it forever.
