Wedding Photographers in St. Paul, MN

I’m Sammy, and I am a wedding photographer based in Minnesota. Although I serve out of Minnesota, I have also been lucky to reach couples from all over the place. I have a love for travel, coffee, dogs, and the simpler things in life. As a teenager, I was the girl carrying a camera everywhere I went collecting memories as I go. I grew up around music and picked up the guitar and piano at a young age. My childhood memories were filled with arts, music, and lots of imagination.

I have photographed over 500 weddings since 2007. I have experience photographing a variety of religions and non-traditions weddings; Hindu, Buddhist, Indian, Orthodox Jewish, Greek Orthodox, Traditional Latin, Somalian, destination and same-sex couples. Capturing every moment you want to remember. Emotions, tears, smiles and once in a lifetime moments shared with those you love dearly. Friends and family from near and far, intricate details that took months of planning. I will be there to uniquely, unobtrusively document every second of your wedding day.

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.

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!

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.

Your photographer will be one of the most important vendors you select, period. The photographers that Bellagala has hand-selected all have a photojournalistic base but have also developed their own sense of style, and a skill set that is unique to each of them through years of shooting weddings. 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.

I’m McKenzie, a photographer who embraces my couples who desire physical visual memories of their connection at any level, so you can have the stages of your relationship captured to look back on and remember all of the little things that feel so big; the way they brush your hair out of your face or beam at how beautiful you are, or even the smallest thing like a hand on your thigh. All of these things help you feel exactly how you felt in that moment. If you are here, you are the brave and courageous people who are willing to step in front of my camera and be honestly you, and who desire a photo gallery that makes you feel something.

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!

I specialize in St. Paul & Minneapolis Minnesota engagements, elopements & wedding photography. I love to work with people with vision, an appreciation for creativity and a love for adventure. If you're game then so am I. Let's make some gorgeous art together.

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!

Hello and welcome! My name is Lindsay and I am a Saint Paul based photographer. My style is a mix of candid, photojournalistic, traditional and artistic. With those techniques in mind, I do my best to tell your story. I believe every story and individual is unique, and therefore should be captured that way.

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.
