I’m a certified photographer who specializes in lifestyle imagery, including engagements and weddings. There’s just something so special about capturing two people starting their lives together, and I truly love being part of those moments. Your wedding day isn’t just about the big things it’s the laughs, the happy tears, the little in-between moments that mean the most. My goal is to capture all of it in a way that feels real, natural, and true to you. My sessions are easygoing and fun. I’ll guide you when you need it, hype you up when you don’t know what to do and make sure you feel comfortable the whole time.

Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

Your day should tell your unique story, and that will only happen if you feel comfortable being yourself! Starting with your complimentary engagement session, we'll work together to make sure you feel confident and relaxed, and most importantly HAVE FUN! Happiness looks amazing on everyone, and my style is centered around just that. If you're looking for joyful, genuine images that are as unique as you are, then you've come to the right place!

Hillary is amazing! She was so easy to work with and talk to. When she had to take lead, there was no hesitation. The couple and guests seemed to absolutely love her too. She helped us, as coordinators, stay on track as much as possible for the timeline. She was so fun and easy to get along with. Really hoping we get to work with her again in then future.

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meredith is amazing! She's so easy to work with, she kept up with my neurotic emails and texts. She's great at communicating all details and scheduling. She is just the most down to earth soul you'll meet. She did a fantastic job at corralling my family for our group picture. I have a HUGE family, and it's not easy to get us all in one spot (especially with children and babies all over) But Meredith was so patient with us. She managed to get AMAZING shots in the chaos. Everyone loved her aura. She really captured the love that was shared that day. I am forever grateful for her capturing our special day.

Two Oaks Photography

  • Serves St. Paul, MN

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jake is SOooo great to work with and I couldn’t recommend him and Two Oaks Photography more. He took our engagement photos as well and was so easy to work with, he had great ideas for poses to try and entertained all of my ideas too. I knew when I got those pics back that I definitely made the right choice for a wedding photographer! He was with us ALL DAY and night on our wedding day, going to both the bride and groom locations of getting ready and then never missed a beat all day (and night when he even took pics at the bar after the reception!!). He brought in a second photographer too which put me at ease that literally every moment of our day was being captured. Jake is the best and definitely comes highly recommended by me and my husband!!!

Hey there, I'm Bethany. I love meeting people, celebrating people, and making people feel awesome. My photography is all about authenticity and a sense of adventure! I'm a love-obsessed individual whose passion and joy come from telling visual stories. I use a natural approach to photograph every smile, tear, and embrace shared on your special day. I believe that by being unobtrusive I can capture moments that aren’t staged, and are full of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bethany was the photographer for a wedding I planned. She was already hired by the couple when I came on board and I hadn't worked with her so I wasn't sure what to expect. I really appreciated her communication ahead of the day by letting me know what she needed in order to get the shots she needed but was also able to work within the timeline we needed. She was able to hit up three different locations on the day for photos with a ton of ground to cover and she got it all covered! The pictures were definitely amazing and overall she was just to work with.

I'm a Saint Paul-based intimate wedding and elopement photographer, immigrant from Venezuela, mom to a semi-feral rescue dog, extroverted introvert, and proud Leo (duhhhhh). As someone who grew up hating rom-coms and avoiding all things lovey-dovey, no one was more surprised than me when I found myself photographing weddings and crying at every ceremony and father-of-the-bride speech. My cold heart melted, and now I can't imagine doing anything other spending the day with two folks who are madly in loooove.

We had such great experiences with Kat! She did our engagement and wedding photos, and she made us feel comfortable from the start. Throughout both days with her, Kat kept the mood light, the experience fun, and kept us and our wedding party on track. The schedule Kat helped us make for our wedding day was so helpful, and she held us to it on the actual day to keep us on time. We've been so happy with the photos we have from our wedding season, and can't wait to share them with our families and hang them on the walls of our home.

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.

  • Serves St. Paul, MN

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).

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you.

I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—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
From the very beginning, Kaleigh brought a calm, steady presence that allowed us to feel completely at ease on our wedding day. Looking through our photos, we’re struck not only by how beautiful they are, but by how genuinely they reflect the emotion and atmosphere of the day. Kaleigh has an incredible ability to capture quiet, meaningful moments alongside joyful movement and celebration. The natural light, thoughtful composition, and attention to detail give our photos a timeless quality that feels effortless rather than staged. Every image feels intentional and true to how the day actually felt. What truly set Kaleigh apart, though, was her professionalism and composure. We experienced a few unexpected moments during our ceremony, and she handled everything with such grace and discretion. If it affected her at all, she never let it show - and even more importantly, she made sure we never felt it. Her calm presence allowed us to stay fully present, which meant more than we can put into words. Kaleigh was attentive without ever being intrusive, supportive without drawing attention, and deeply respectful of the emotions of the day. These photographs don’t just document our wedding they absolutely preserve the feeling of it. We are incredibly grateful for her care, artistry, and professionalism, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for photographs that feel both refined and deeply personal.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

He was super open to my suggestions, but also at the various spots gave great advice and helped us pose in a way that looked natural. I could not be more thrilled with our sneak peak, and all of our friends and family have been blown away with the photos so far. Eugene was excellent at getting candids, the formal, photos, and especially the romantic photos I had saved from pinterest. I spent hours and hours researching photographers as that was most important to me, and I am so glad I went with Eugene. We will be referring him to all our friends who get married nearby!

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.

Mercy is amazing! She came to our home to take newborn photos, and didn’t rush us, and let me take time to feed our new baby in the middle of the session so he would calm down and be settled for pictures. She got us sneak peeks about a week later and the whole gallery a couple weeks after that! She was helpful suggesting different poses and working with the inspiration pics I had sent her before hand. She is also so sweet to be around and made us feel super comforting while taking pictures, I highly recommend Mercy !!

I felt completely as ease throughout our wedding day knowing we would get all the pictures we asked for, and more.
