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.

I can’t say enough positive things about Dakota. From our initial meeting to receiving our final pics, we had the best experience. Dakota is extremely talented, kind, bubbly, energetic, a girl’s girl, and detail oriented. She helped us plan our day of schedule and followed it to a T. She worked quickly and efficiently but didn’t sacrifice quality. I’d recommend her to anyone and everyone. Can’t wait to work with her again in the future!

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Afton, MN

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless. He communicated the expected timeline and requirements so clearly, and he definitely delivered. During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

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.

Lauren was so amazing from the day we met her until the day we got our photos after our wedding! She did our engagement and wedding photos. She was so accommodating with us and very flexible as we changed a lot of our wedding plans due to covid. She was easy to communicate with and so so friendly! She felt like someone we had known forever and made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. We were so pleased with how our photos turned out and how fast we got them back! Lauren knows what she's doing and is very professional while also being personable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Tim Larsen Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Afton, MN

Writing an about me page is a terribly revealing experience! Who takes the time to think "Who am I?" or "How would I describe myself to other people?" The temptation is to brag and be pretentious in order to convince you that I'm important, but instead I looked at my life and made some amazing discoveries. My life revolves around people. I love people. When I need to make a decision the people that it will affect are always the number one priority.

Tim Larsen Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Tim's communication was on top of everything - he responded quickly to emails and calls, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of his work and value were the best we could have had. Not only did Tim capture incredible photos that we will treasure forever, his rates were very reasonable. Tim is so personable, witty, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He really contributed to making our wedding day go smoothly. In addition to taking fantastic photos, Tim helped create a seamless schedule, provided vendor recommendations, and went above and beyond in many little ways. We can't recommend Tim highly enough for wedding photography services. His professionalism, talent and friendly demeanor lead to photos we never dreamed we could have. Thanks Tim!

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

As a photographer, my goal is to capture stories in the form of images. Photos have the power to help you relive a specific moment in time and recall all of the emotions and details surrounding that moment. When I work with you on a photo project, my goal is to provide you with photographic records of those moments. I want you to be able to look back at your photos years from today and be able to relive that moment in time.

This team is seriously THE BEST!!!!! She photographed our engagement session and wedding and did amazing on both shoots! She is sooo patient, reliable, kind, and is very professional. She was so helpful on the day of our wedding. She guided us throughout the whole day (I am a little awkward so we needed her guidance. We had a VERY large bridal party (12 on each side) and she was so patient with all of us. My family and bridal party loved working with her and kept talking about how incredible she was!! She is SO GOOD at what she does and we were blown away by the amazing photos that we received back!! Thank you so much for capturing the best day ever in such a beautiful way!!!

My style is rooted in an editorial approach, allowing me to narrate your unique love story through timeless images that highlight genuine emotions. I prioritize unscripted moments, such as the reaction of your spouse as you walk up the aisle, the inside joke that makes you break out in laughter or the tears as your loved ones share thoughtful memories during toasts. These intimate details hold immense significance to me. As your photographer, I bring a heartfelt and genuine perspective, ensuring that your wedding day is portrayed in a way that truly reflects you and preserves the memories you'll cherish forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
My fiancé and I loved working with Lucia! She did an engagement photo session with us, and the whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. She set up a video call to get to know us, get a sense for who we were and what we were looking for, and then was super helpful and communicative when picking a location for the shoot. She was able to share sites she had used before with photos from those locations, and she shared input from other photographers on locations we thought of that she hadn't used before. When we started looking for a photographer we were apprehensive about the whole thing because we're both by nature pretty awkward in front of a camera, but she made us super comfortable and you can tell how relaxed we were when looking at the photos. We genuinely had family members say "now that's what I think of when I picture you two" when they saw our photos. She even asked for some of our favorite music and had it playing when we started, which was super thoughtful! For the shoot itself, she gave us plenty of direction but was also really collaborative and open to any of our ideas for poses or shots or areas of the location to use. We were worried on the way to the shoot because it was rainy when we first showed up at the park, but right away she had ideas for how to still find usable areas and took some great shots, and even had some clear umbrellas that made for a cute look. When the rain let up, we were able to get some wide shots that really took advantage of the location and she did a fantastic job of editing out the groups of oblivious sightseers that walked into frame. The photos definitely capture us as a couple and showcased the location we chose. After the session we got our preview gallery back in record time. She told us she was going out of town on a family trip a few days after our shoot but she'd get our preview turned around before she left so that we didn't have to wait, and she totally delivered (and probably 3x the amount she promised, so she even overdelivered). We got the full gallery back exactly when she said, and they all look amazing; we loved the experience and the photos we get to share with family and friends.

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

I’m Alyssa. You can call me Lys. (It rhymes with Kiss) ☺ I'm a photographer based in Des Moines, Iowa. I travel often. Couples, elopements, and small weddings are my speciality. My style leans documentary, timeless, and sincere, with some avant-garde editorial vibes, artsy influences, and good old fashioned weirdness mixed in. I love color, flash, film, and all things non-traditional. I got my start in music photography, which greatly informs my shooting style, and have been documenting Iowa's music scene and touring with bands for over 10 years!

I'm a micro-wedding venue owner and I recently hosted a gorgeous LGBTQ+ styled shoot. From beginning to end Alyssa was a pleasure to work with. She initiated correspondence - including overall vision, clear expectation, and a comprehensive schedule for all vendors. Her ability to pull a vision together and pay attention to detail are equally strong. She had the ability to manage a project while simultaneously making all vendors and models feel comfortable. She excels at bringing out the most of her models & left the venue in great condition. I will not hesitate to work with Alyssa again - She's an absolute pleasure!
