Tiffany L. Clark is a New York-based freelance photographer, photo editor and producer, originally from St. Paul, Minnesota.

Tiffany was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, she had a fun energy that made the whole experience really enjoyable. She came to our engagement photo session with a great base vision, but was also really open to incorporating our own ideas and preferences. Tiffany worked with us to get some truly unique and thoughtful shots that perfectly captured the spirit of our relationship. The final photos were professional, high-quality, and unique to us. We couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Stargazer Designs 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Waconia, MN

I started Stargazer Designs in 2004 after seeing a need for a designer to create wedding day looks. As a decorator I am able to provide an eye for where décor and flowers can be placed to best utilize the space and make the most impact. With most couples on a budget for a wedding you need to decide where your money will be best spent based on what's important to you. Having been in the floral business for over 30 years gives me the experience to offer you different options to achieve your dream wedding!

Michelle and her team brought our Whimsical Fairy Tale wedding theme to life in a way we could’ve never imagined. From florals to magical touches throughout the venue, every element was stunning. When we stepped into the ceremony and reception spaces, we were in tears — it was absolutely perfect. Special shoutout for the gorgeous floral lapel boutonnière — it added the perfect pop and personal flair. Michelle is a visionary and a joy to work with, especially if you’re getting married at The Gardens of Castle Rock!

Studio Veil - Videography 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Waconia, MN

Your wedding video captures your day and allows you to relive it in a way that photos just can’t. You have spent countless hours and days planning every detail. You’ve poured money into making sure that everything will be just right. But the truth is: when the big day finally comes, it’ll feel like it’s over in a flash. There will be parts you barely remember and moments you missed entirely. While photography is great at capturing moments, videography helps you to travel back in time and experience them again.

I've had the pleasure of working with Studio Veil - Videography on several occasions through TCWEP, and I can confidently say they are a top-notch vendor. Their communication style is clear and easy to follow, also listens well and collaborates to bring the project to life. The quality of their work is excellent, with professional, timely service. The recorded sound is spot-on, and the lighting and camera positioning for their video projects are simply stunning. Ryan and the team at Studio Veil are reliable, responsive, and go above and beyond to exceed expectations. I highly recommend them for any of your videography needs.

  • Serves Waconia, MN

Let’s get this out of the way, yes, Angela Divine is my real name. My grandmother was Divina, she passed the name Divine onto my mom, and my mom passed it onto me. Maybe it stems from my untraditional name, but I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. In my younger years, I never fit it in, and I didn’t find my people until I stopped trying and embraced what makes me weird. I love celebrating the unique with my photography, which is why I work best with those who want their photos to be truly authentic and one of a kind. Looking forward to hearing your vision, and what makes your story so unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angela was fantastic to work with from our introductory conversation, all the way through the entire process. We never had any miscommunication whatsoever. She went above and beyond the call of duty!! We were married on Halloween, and she was happy to spend the holiday photographing our special time. She even did the research to see what it would take to get some full moon shots with us!! Angela was kind and thoughtful with our friends and family during the whole day. Her gentle professionalism is notable. We were able to view a few of her shots, and so far, so good! She is skilled, attentive, and most of all, a sweet person with an eye for detail. We absolutely recommend her to anyone who has an event that needs to be captured in pictures! All the Love! Jonny and Libby.

So shoot us a message and let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t often leave reviews, but this is truly a remarkable crew to work with. Booking with Voyageur Motion Pictures should be at the top of your “getting married” priority list. We eloped in Glacier National Park summer of 2020. The team at Voyageur Motion Pictures were the ONLY ones present for our elopement outside of my spouse and I. Having such a small group, the energy of everyone involved is incredibly important. They were so fun to be around! They made us relax and enjoy the process and we NEEDED that outside energy. We laughed SO much. We cried. We celebrated. We continue to laugh and cry watching and re-watching our videos with our friends and family. Because of the work of Voyageur Motion Pictures, we had one of the best days of our lives and we get to relive it whenever we watch our videos. After the day has come and passed, having video will mean so much to you. We cherish our videos above any photo taken that day. If you are looking for a destination wedding videographer, elopement videographer, or someone to capture your wedding celebrations, Kea and her team are exceptional. They are incredibly talented in their craft. They know how to make posing for video a natural part of the day. They are fun, vibrant humans with a gift for making you feel special. They love love.

  • Starts at $149
  • Serves Waconia, MN

FêteFone® is a modern twist on the traditional guest book—where guests talk instead of write. Using a stylish vintage phone, your loved ones can leave heartfelt, funny, and unforgettable voice messages that capture the true spirit of your celebration. Your big day goes by in a flash, but with FêteFone, you’ll have the voices, laughter, and love preserved forever. Imagine hearing your grandmother’s kind words, your best friend's inside jokes, or the excitement in your guests’ voices—all at the lift of a receiver. FêteFone helps you capture the magic of your celebration—the joy, the tears, the laughter—in a way you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

We were initially drawn to FêteFone because it was such a fun and different idea—but I had no idea just how meaningful it would become. Hearing our grandparents’ voices, our best friends cracking up, and even the sweet slurred messages from our dance floor crew—it all made us laugh and cry in the best way. The setup was truly plug-and-play. We now keep our vintage mint-green FêteFone displayed on a shelf at home, and every so often we pick up the receiver just to relive that joy. It’s not just a guest book—it’s a time capsule of love. I can’t recommend it enough.

Hello! 139 Hair by Heidi is my boutique bridal hair and makeup company. I've been creating updos my whole life and did my very first wedding over 19 years ago. After a few years by myself, I started growing my team. I now have an intimate group of artists who are extremely talented.

As a 2020 COVID bride I've changed my wedding plans 4 times already. My husband and I eloped on our original wedding date but are still planning a party for 2021 when hopefully things are a little safer. Heidi was so incredibly supportive through all the turmoil and always responded to my emails promptly and with empathy. She was able to work with me to change plans last minute and be there with a makeup artist to help me get ready for our backyard elopement. My look held up to sweat, rain, and tears and I could not have been happier with the results. Heidi is talented, warm, and responsive - absolutely everything you want in a wedding vendor. I cannot wait to work with her again when we can eventually have our larger wedding celebration.

  • Serves Waconia, MN

I'm Melissa (she/her) and I'm so glad you're here. I've been photographing couples in love since 2019 and it's truly an honor to capture your love during one of the most important times of your life. One of my favorite memories in childhood was sneaking away with my sister and looking through old photo albums, especially our parent's wedding album. Providing those happy and emotional memories for my clients is one of my favorite parts of wedding photography. I pride myself on offering my couples a creative, high-touch, seamless wedding photography experience from start to finish. I look forward to meeting you and your partner!

When my husband and I started planning our wedding, having beautiful photos was at the very top of both of our lists. For us, a photographer came before all other vendors, and we both agreed it was simply not an area in which we’d cut corners. When I cam across Melissa’s photos, I immediately knew she was obviously the style and vibe we were going for. Within a matter of seconds, I was blown away by the amount of details her pictures had, and within a matter of minutes, I was sending her a message praying to the heavens above that she was available for our date. I could not recommend Melissa enough. Her photos are absolutely stunning - they speak for themselves. But what you can’t see by scrolling through her galleries or social media pages, is the absolute GEM behind the camera. Melissa is professional, fun, energetic, happy - and she brings that energy with her through every single click of her shutter. She was so good at guiding and directing us throughout all our photos — and you’re hearing this from a couple who is extremely awkward posing for pictures! She made us feel beyond comfortable — confident! She even made a super impression on our families and wedding party. They all made a point to tell me how much they enjoyed her throughout the day! We had so much fun with her and she captured us and our wedding day absolutely perfectly. Melissa goes above and beyond and truly listens to what her couples want out of their pictures. She managed to get every single picture I could have ever hoped for— and then some! We absolutely love both our engagement and wedding photos, and they will be on display in our home forever. I could not thank her enough. I can guarantee you, you will not be disappointed in hiring Melissa! She was the easiest, and by far the best, vendor we hired! I’d hire her again any day!

Cassaundra Cherney Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! Cassaundra was very communicative on her schedule, needs and working with us on what vibes we wanted for the wedding.

The wedding photos were absolutely beautiful, and she went above and beyond for service and helpfulness throughout the day. Cassaundra is so easy to work with and makes the space relaxed. She has a background in event planning, so she understands the ins and outs of a wedding day and can communicate effectively with everyone - family, staff, other vendors and more.

Thoughtfully designed, authentically you, and crazy-fun weddings. That’s what we do. HappiLily Events is a Minnesota-based wedding planning & design company for couples who love a good party. We specialize in making each wedding day as unique as it is memorable with thoughtful details and personal touches.

My husband and I recently celebrated our 1 year anniversary and we are still talking about the impact Lily and HappiLily Events had on our wedding day. We were, at times, planning across 3 different time zones and Lily made the whole process seamless. She kept us organized, accountable, and focused on our vision. We had some wild ideas (and frequently fluctuating vision) and she met us exactly where we were at every time - either making our dreams possible or walking us off the ledge when we really started to spiral, never pressuring us to be anyone but us. When she says “best friend-level support”, she means it. We always thoroughly enjoyed getting on planning calls with her because she made everything stress-free and fun! Lily goes above and beyond for her clients, always incredibly thoughtful and intentional with how she supports you throughout the process, day of and even the day after! We can not recommend HappiLily Events enough, our day was perfect and Lily was a huge reason for that. Pick Lily!!

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Coming from 10+ years in venue management & wedding planning I've seen my share of photographers weekend after weekend. Let me tell you - it takes a special kind of photographer to have all the right skill set to be a good wedding photographer. Lauren is beyond that, she's great. She's personable, caring, professional, artistic, and can give you direction (this is huge) while capturing you, your mate, and your family. Her portraits are out of this world and her style is brilliant. She's in my top 5 of all time.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love being out doors, visiting new places, and photographing people that are a little crazy for each other. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

My wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!

Natural, Relaxed & Candid Photography & everything in between. We have been capturing Love in action telling visual stories for over 17 years. To be honest, I STILL love every single minute of the wedding day. I've got a bag packed like Mary Poppins - ready for whatever comes our way. Your day will be imperfectly - perfect. With natural, authentic story telling photo's along the way. Memories that grow better with age; very much like a fine wine or an aged whiskey. Whatever floats your boat - just choose TSP to document your one of a kind love story. We are here to help keep the planning process simple and stress free.

I am so happy we invested in our wedding photos with tellastory. I still look back on them 6 years later.
