Keighla's Fresh Face Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Virginia, MN

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. 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.

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 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.

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

We hired Vick Photography for our wedding and Andrew delivered solid work from start to finish. He showed up with positive energy and a cooperative spirit that made the day feel smooth. Andrew takes a high volume of shots to ensure nothing gets missed, which gives you confidence in the coverage. That said, communication before and after the wedding was slower than we hoped, and during the day it felt like the direction was mostly his call rather than a collaboration with us. He's clearly experienced and skilled at what he does, though the process felt a bit more transactional than personal. If you're looking for a seasoned photographer who will capture your day reliably, Andrew is a solid choice—just know that you'll want to discuss your vision upfront since he doesn't ask for much input once the day begins.

Lucien Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the very first interaction, Trisha was prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly. She really put us at ease and made the photo process feel natural and fun, even though my husband and I are both a bit shy. The final photos are absolutely stunning - they capture the romance and beauty of our special day in such an amazing way. Trisha has an amazing eye and we are thrilled with how all the staged shots and candid moments turned out. We will treasure these photos forever and are so grateful to Lucien Photography for their incredible work in helping to make our wedding day so special.

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.
