I love weddings. All of the little details, the way you express who you are as a couple + individuals, and the total excitement of being there to capture your special day! It means the world to me that you picked me and my job is to witness and document your story. Everyone’s story is unique to you + your fiancé. And your story continues to grow and blossom with every change in life, so I want to focus on taking 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 to be admired and have your story shared.

You'll be in good hands with Stef! She was fun and easygoing that made the entire photography process smooth! She also helped gather and direct our wedding party and guests for all the important photos. The final photos had great quality and perfectly captured the theme and feel of our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the work Stef did for our wedding!

I 100% recommend using “Original Weddings” located in Texas. For 6 hours we payed well under 2,000 for light and airy style with others to choose from. Our photographer was so nice and friendly and helped us make our day comfortable. She was more than a photographer. We opted for our editing to take 4-12 weeks and at the 4 week mark we got our photos. Over 500 breathtaking photos were sent to us in our easy to use client portal. We can also send a guest link to our family members so they can download or print the photos they are in. Everyone was so helpful and the customer service from everyone we were in contact with was very impressive! Highly recommending to our friends as well.

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.

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

  • 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.

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!

Loui Photography LLC / Loui Co. was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Meg was incredibly timely, accountable, and friendly. Her work was simply spectacular - captured every special detail. Meg was more supportive to us on our wedding day than our day-of coordinator, ensuring our timeline stayed on track and that no important moment was missed. Despite Meg's growing popularity this year, we were able to book her at a lower price point but still receive the highest quality service. We cannot recommend Loui Photography enough to any couples looking for an exceptional photography experience on their wedding day.

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.

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!

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.

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 husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

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!

We hired Kendra as our wedding photographer last summer and had a wonderful experience. We specifically were looking for a documentary-style wedding photographer, so we got a bunch of great candids of us and our family. We also got great portraits and family photos, so best of both worlds! The film photos turned out spectacular :) She went above and beyond from the start, helping us sketch out the day's schedule so we knew how/when she would be helping us. During the day she was super on top of things, and made us feel comfortable when taking photos (we don't take a ton of photos so this was super nice!). We had some specific small decorations/moments we wanted to make sure she captured and she did a great job of that without having to talk about it on the day of. We got a quick sneak peek in less than a week, and a full brilliant set of 800 photos in a couple months!

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

We had an amazing experience working with Pluvia Studios as our wedding photographer and videographer. He was incredibly intentional and truly listened to the shots and edits we wanted, which made the final video feel so personal and meaningful. Especially since our wedding was at different locations in San Francisco, Presidio, and our local church, I loved how our package cohesively looked natural, fresh and beautiful. During our first intake call he was concise and walked through the package we were interested in. We were in awe by the timeless and beautiful photo gallery and videos we received that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. JayDee was also very responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful to have our day captured so beautifully and highly recommend him and his team.

Working with Mind Of Mo Weddings & Events for our wedding was a fantastic experience. They were incredibly responsive to our needs and questions throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was excellent, especially given the great price they charged. They made our wedding day fun and comfortable, even when they were holding a camera right in our faces. We actually added videography just 2 days before the wedding, and they were able to accommodate that last-minute request seamlessly. I would highly recommend Mind Of Mo Weddings & Events to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team for their special day.
