Coral Mia Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
St. Paul, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,700

I moved to downtown Minneapolis from Iowa to attend college. My husband and I met my husband at a cafe concert where we both never thought we’d see each other again. A few days later, he walked into my college class and the joy on my face was indescribable. The rest is history! I met a local photographer who took me under their wing where I learned the beauty of photography. This is where I fell in love with people, specifically the connection between two who are madly in love. I am passionate about documenting love in its rawest form for who the couple really is and for how their day naturally unfolds. It’s ALWAYS about the couple.

“We are endlessly grateful for Coral and the incredible talent, care, and heart she brought to our wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel comfortable, calm, and truly celebrated. Her presence is warm and grounding — the kind of energy you want with you on such an emotional, unforgettable day. Coral has a gift for capturing the moments you don’t even realize are happening — the quiet looks, the happy tears, the laughter, the little details that make your day uniquely yours. When we received our photos, we were blown away. Every image felt intentional, authentic, and full of emotion. She didn’t just take pictures; she told the full story of our day in a way we’ll cherish forever. Beyond her talent, Coral is simply amazing to work with. She communicated clearly, guided us naturally without making anything feel posed, and made everyone — from our families to our wedding party — feel comfortable and seen. She went above and beyond to make sure we got every shot we hoped for, and so many more we didn’t even know we needed. Choosing Coral as our photographer was truly one of the best decisions we made. Her photos are timeless, heartfelt, and beautifully captured — and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives. We cannot recommend her enough.”

Nikki Jilek Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
St. Paul, MN
  • Photojournalistic style

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

“Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!”

Depict Photography 
St. Paul, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

My love of weddings started early in life. The design and decor, the endless creative options, the unique venues, the gowns, and of course, the romance. What has kept me going for the last thirteen years has been the storytelling. The immersion into true emotions and connections. Not only with the newlyweds but with the group of bridesmaids standing along side their lifelong friend; the empathetic glances between the in-laws as they watch their "kids" tie the knot; and the blossoming friendships over a few too many glasses of wine and groovy dance moves. A real look into so many different loves, lives, and relationships.

Each of our wedding photographers, even at the Apprentice level, are subject to a thorough evaluation process before being invited to join the Bellagala team, and we ensure they have a solid record of client service and a strong creative portfolio. We promise you will love their work.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We booked Andrew Parfenov through Bellagala as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We were looking for a photographer with a strong visual voice and a good mix of non-traditional/dramatic portraits and photojournalistic (candid) photos in their portfolio. Andrew brought the drama, the joy, and so much more! From the get-go, Andrew was a delight to work with - he shot our engagement photos and helped us find and arrange a venue for them - and immediately set us at ease. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect pose. On our wedding day, Andrew took the lead on finding locations for photos around our venue, posing us/our bridal party/our family, and finding moments for candid shots at the reception. Multiple family members have reached out after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed Andrew's approach and how at ease they felt with him. If you're considering Andrew for your special occasion, book him - we can't recommend him highly enough!”

“Madison and I met when she hired me to do her wedding flowers but since then we have worked together as collaborators on several wedding projects! She is sweet, funny, kind and wonderful at creating and sticking to realistic timelines. She captures the day as it really is and doesn't make you do corny poses or funny prompts like some other wedding photographers. Her style is dreamy fun vintage and she often brings several cameras so that you can have some photos that are digital as well as film. I am very excited to see that she is leaving her day job and spending time doing what she was meant to do, being a creative!”

  • Serves St. Paul, MN

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!

“Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!”

Hello, I'm Denae! I am an MN-based photographer but always open wherever your love leads me. There’s something so special about being trusted to document such meaningful moments, and I love capturing your story in a genuine, intentional way as it naturally were. Being a part of those memories is truly an honor.

“From our first conversation, Denae was consistent and thorough in helping us plan every detail. She walked us through creating a timeline when we had no idea where to start, and showed us that we didn't need a ton of poses to get stunning shots. On our wedding day, she was more than a photographer she behind the scenes helping as well —she captured moments we never would have thought to ask for and kept things fun and relaxed. Her directing style is calm and confident, which made us feel at ease the entire time. The photos are beautiful and we've gotten so many compliments that we booked her again for another event. Denae knows what she's doing, and we couldn't recommend her enough.”

NYLONSADDLE Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves St. Paul, MN

My love for photography began as a sophomore in high school taking black and white photography. Following high school I lived abroad for a bit and once back in the states started capturing friends weddings. I started my business in 2014 and have never looked back. I capture with both digital and film and believe photos are one of the most important things we have to hold on to for lifetimes to come. I love freezing memories in time and hope my couples feel the same.

“We couldn’t be happier with selecting NYLONSADDLE PHOTOGRAPHY for our wedding photos! Nicole did an excellent job wrangling our large family & wedding party as well as capturing all the details and the vibe that was so very us. As the bride, I missed a lot of the little details of the day and I’m so thrilled to have those captured as well as the big moments so beautifully documented. In addition to digital photos, we chose to add on a roll of film to our photos and the results were just stellar. It was perfect and we are over the moon with the results! On top of all that, Nicole was just so much fun to get to know. We would love to work with her again in the future!”

Hello, I’m Britt. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 10 years. I was named one of the Best Wedding Photographers in the U.S. by Brides magazine in 2018. My photography aesthetic can be described as documentary with a blend of fine art.

“Britt did an incredible job with our wedding photos!! We loved her artistic eye and journalistic storytelling. She was incredibly accommodating and supportive: We had a BIG change of venue close to the wedding that she easily adapted to. On the day, she was a calm presence, seamlessly fitting into the flow of everything—we didn't notice her (in the best way!) during the ceremony and reception and were so pleased with everything she captured!”

  • Serves St. Paul, MN

I landed my first wedding in Seattle in 1999 somewhat by accident. After a couple loved the portraits I made for them, they asked if I would shoot their wedding. I said yes, but was secretly terrified. Fortunately, my naivety was inadvertently a bonus because I photographed that wedding the same way I photographed news stories: as discreetly as possible and recognizing key moments at the speed they are happening rather than directing the action or creating artificial scenarios. I don't have the preconceived notions of an advertising photographer. I am just as excited to see the final images as you are!

“We worked with Bradley in 2017 for our wedding, he is so personable and makes you feel comfortable. He captured images that we will cherish forever and bring back the emotion of the day. They are truly stunning! We are so grateful to have these memories and to have worked with Bradley. Thank you again!”

Welcome to my little online corner! I'm Kelly, a wedding, family, and brand photographer based in Minnesota. My goal with photography is to capture YOU! Your love. Your adventures. Your snuggles. Your chaos. Whatever it is that makes you, you, I want THAT to come through in your photos. I’m always looking for ways to direct less and simply create an environment for you to be. For many years I shot exclusively with film and although I shoot with it less now, my style is still very film driven. All editing is done to emulate film. It’s timeless, not trendy. You’ll never look back and cringe at that year’s filter trend.

Awarded Best of Zola
“One of the biggest parts of a wedding day is having the memories captured in a way that allows you to be transported back. As someone who worked in a creative field, I was very picky about who would take our photos and in the end went with George Street because of the company's reputation of delivering quality photos with experienced photographers. I'm so glad we made this choice, because during our first look the weather decided to turn to a thunderstorm and it rained 1.5 inches for the next few hours. While this could be a day ruiner, we quickly pivoted and moved everything into our tent and I know that with a less experienced photographer we might not have the incredible photos we do. Josh was easy to work with, made us comfortable and went with the flow when we had ideas about shooting in the rain, getting wet and muddy. The photos we have are incredible and I can feel the exact way I did when we did our private vows, said I do and had our first dance. George Street also impressed me with a quick turnaround and I loved that I could have all of my images with a fee. I have thousands of outtakes and moments to look at for the rest of my life! I'd definitely make the same choice over again.”

“Original Weddings (formerly Sound Originals) delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We just received our full wedding gallery, and the photos are absolutely stunning — over 1,300 beautiful images capturing every detail, emotion, and moment of our day.

They seamlessly blended into the day, always present but never intrusive — giving us gentle direction when needed while allowing us to fully live in each moment. Their friendly, calming energy put us, our wedding party, and our guests completely at ease. It truly felt like they were as personally invested in capturing our day as we were in living it. The crew’s creativity, attention to detail, and personalized approach made us feel like we were in the best possible hands.

“I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Brayley. From start to finish, she was hands down one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. I originally found her on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. From our very first consultation, I knew I wanted her as our photographer. She was so incredibly sweet, knowledgeable, and intentional with the questions she asked. She genuinely wanted to get to know us and make sure our personalities, vision, and overall vibe were a good fit for her photography style — and that level of care continued through the entire process. Once we booked her, she made everything SO easy. She checked in with us throughout the planning process, sent update emails, always offered to help however she could, and gave us the most detailed resources to prepare for the wedding day. She had checklists for detail photos, preference sheets, planning documents — seriously, everything you could possibly think of. I never once felt like I had to wonder what she needed from me because she had already thought of it. And then came the wedding day… Brayley was absolutely INCREDIBLE. We only booked her without a second photographer, and somehow she managed to capture our entire night so perfectly. She was everywhere without ever feeling intrusive. She never made us feel rushed or stressed, even when we were running a little behind while getting ready. She rolled with everything, kept things moving, and somehow even managed to wrangle all of the boys and get every group photo we wanted. What I loved most, though, was how much I trusted her creatively. We gave her the freedom to do what she does best, and she gave us photos that are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She captured the big moments, the tiny moments, the emotions, the people we love, and so many little pieces of our wedding that I didn’t even realize were happening at the time. Looking through our gallery genuinely feels like reliving our wedding night. I tear up EVERY SINGLE TIME I look through our photos. She didn’t just give us beautiful wedding pictures — she gave my husband and me the ability to go back and experience one of the best nights of our lives over and over again. If you are looking at Brayley’s work and considering booking her, DO IT. There is absolutely no one else I would have wanted behind the camera on our wedding day. She is talented, organized, patient, kind, creative, and just an absolute joy to work with. Brayley, THANK YOU for capturing our wedding so beautifully and giving us photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives. I truly cannot recommend you enough.”

“We truly couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Erica! Not only is her work absolutely stunning and artistic, but she was also such a fun and calming presence on our big day. She kept everything running smoothly, helped guide us through every moment, and made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Her attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond made such a difference. We are beyond grateful for the memories she captured and would recommend her to anyone looking for gorgeous photos and an incredible experience!”

I’m Cat, a Colorado based wedding and elopement photographer who believes the best photos come from real connection, not stiff posing. I’m passionate about documenting love as it naturally unfolds, the quiet in between moments. My approach is documentary with gentle guidance so you can be fully present on your day while I capture images that feel timeless, true to color, and deeply personal. I care just as much about how your wedding feels as how it looks.

“From the moment we booked Cat, she was invested in making our day (and entire wedding season) special. Cat is not someone who will just show up on wedding day to take pictures, she’s truly soooo much more!! Her thoughtful approach and genuine kindness made planning feel easy and stress-free (seriously photos were the one thing I was like okay cool I don’t have to worry at all about this, Cat’s got it), and she went above and beyond every step of the way. On the day itself, Cat and her second shooter Anna were integrated into everything, capturing candid moments that felt true and honest while keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes. They were SO fun, easy to have with us all day, slotted right into our entire vibe, party, all of it. Our guests have also been nonstop about how fun and great they were day of, as well as how beautiful the pics turned out. Which, speaking of the photos themselves - I could just die they’re so amazing. I was very clear that I wanted to be in the moment, have fun, and I didn’t want to take too much time for portraits but that I still wanted some. Cat took this and ran with it. The pics feel like US, and represent our day and our love. And I look INCREDIBLE in them. She nailed it. I seriously cannot recommend her enough. If you want documentary style, candid, in the moment pics - this is your girl.”
