HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

From the very beginning of planning my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, working with Grace was an absolute pleasure. She was not only receptive to my ideas but also shared her own equally creative suggestions. Grace's professionalism and attention to detail were outstanding. What truly made the experience special was how she made the entire photoshoot feel like a fun activity for us as a couple. Her creativity shone through as she guided us through various poses that felt incredibly natural. Grace's ability to put us at ease made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. One more remarkable detail was her dedication to research, ensuring we had perfect sunrise photos. It was evident that she went the extra mile to time everything perfectly. What stood out the most, though, was her unique talent for capturing the emotion and joy of the moment. I can't thank her enough for creating such a magical and unforgettable memory for us!

Love Knot Photography

  • Serves Akeley, 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.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have admired Steve's beautiful work for years! He has an artistic style that is uniquely his and that comes to him so naturally after years of honing his craft. He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

Sea Circus Weddings 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Akeley, MN

I am driven to capture wedding days in a purposefully artful, poetic, way – softly directing my couples into the most beautiful light and choosing compositions that highlight their love story. It is vital to give couples the time and encouragement to let go and be themselves. Couples wedding photos should feel like art – pieces they will hang on their walls and look at with awe. My work is heavily influenced by the romance and evocative emotion expressed in a ballet which leads me to create photographs that artfully express the feeling of ones wedding day through the play of movement and light.

Reyna at Sea Circus Weddings was SO wonderful to work with. She was easy going, early to our appointment, willing to go out of her way to make our photo shoot outstanding, and best of all, our pictures are out of this world! I highly recommend Sea Circus Weddings!

My inspiration is the raw, natural, and authentic moments during your session. I want you to be able to look back on these images and remember exactly what you felt.

We document your wedding day as it unfolds – with a photography style that is authentic, candid, intimate, and natural.

Victoria and Nick were wonderful to work with. They made us feel at ease and they exhibited flexibility, especially as we included children in many of our photo shoots. They worked very hard to include our preferences. We appreciated the way they broke down our options for photos and they helped us think through the schedule of the day from a photographer's perspective. Could not recommend highly enough.

While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Jasmine is incredible, which there isn’t quite a word adequate to describe her. She is fun, personable, and a bride’s champion. Our photos are absolutely gorgeous and she captured the vision I wanted. But, she was also the perfect hype woman and stood up for what I wanted. There’s truly no words to describe and express how glad I was to have her as my photographer.

Madison + McKenzie are best friends turned business partners. Since 2017, Mckenzie + Madison has photographer more than 65 individuals. In 2017, Mckenzie received a Canon Rebel T7 camera as a Christmas gift. This began the journey. As a senior, she was taking photos of other friends and family. One of these seniors included her best friend, Madison. Since then, they have been inseperable! About a year later, Mckenzie asked Madison if she would want to start a business together. Of course, Madison said yes.

My Husband and I found Lavenderie through Facebook and decided to go with them for our wedding in 2023. They were very affordable and their website and portfolio fit our style. They were very open and understanding to my ideas and what I wanted for my wedding. They brought their own ideas for the photos that I loved and ended up being my favorite ones! We decided to use them again for our maternity photos and they turned out amazing as well! Definitely a jack of all trades for any photo session you’d like to do! They know great places and are very easy to talk to if there’s something you’d like to change! Can’t wait to book my family photos sometime this year! Definitely recommend if you want a relatable, innovative, affordable photographer!

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!

Meg is not only beyond talented but also the kindest human being. We are so grateful to have had Meg as our photographer, she did beyond an amazing job capturing our engagement photos and wedding photos. She is on top of everything, extremely helpful and so kind. I had multiple people come up to me raving about how great she was at our wedding. Definitely our favorite wedding vendor we worked with!

I'll sing & dance to just about any song, have approximately 12 shades of lipstick in my purse at a time, and take pride in drinking over a gallon of water a day… lol #hydrated. I’m obsessed with dogs and love booping their noses. Very blessed to have been running this business since I was 14 years old, and eagerly got my videographer husband, Scott on board once we got married in May 2018. Since then we've added 7 amazing associates to our team and are proud to serve clients well no matter what their day looks like.

Kiley is the BEST! The only photographer my husband and I will hire. Photography was a top priority for me on our wedding day and I knew I needed someone who was going to capture everything I wanted. You only get your wedding day once! I’m so happy we went with her, I can’t stop looking at the pictures! We added videography to our wedding and am so glad we did. They made us feel so confident and comfortable the entire time! I can’t wait to see what else she photographs for us over the years. Thanks again, Kiley!!

They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

Zoe Yates Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Akeley, MN

As both a photographer and writer, I've found my niche focusing on the bits that make up each love story and wedding day. The quiet moments, the fierce ones, the happy and nostalgic ones. While I make sure clients get all the shots they need, my focus is to simply capture the day as it happens, documenting the moments that will fade from memory as time goes by. My style has a modern twist on classic photojournalistic-style—true to life color with a bit of mood, at times sharp and others soft, with creative composition and approach.

I'm a wedding coordinator/planner whose team worked with Zoe at a wedding a week ago and she was so great to work with! Leading up to the wedding day she was very responsive on all communication, and was great to work alongside with the day of the wedding! Her photos are absolutely stunning and I look forward to working with her again in the future! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events

I never saw myself having a wedding. Never imagined the venue, the flowers, or the centerpieces. Never had any ideas about what my hair would look like or the dress I would wear. One night I was sitting with my mom and she said “I see you getting married on a beach somewhere, with just a few friends. Then afterwards we have a bonfire and music, and we laugh all night.” It’s like she was living in my brain- that felt so right to me- and I had never seen a wedding like that. I didn’t know that kind of thing was allowed? From then on that’s the only way I’ve pictured my wedding to be one day. That’s what I want to help my couples find.

Lily was absolutely a thrill to work with! She is fun, down to earth, professional, etc. I could go on and on. She is great for those who are not comfy in front of a camera and doesn't expect you to have poses in mind or even a vibe. She will work with you on the spot and help feel it out. She also is easy to connect with and answers promptly. If you need a photographer for ANYTHING, please call on Lily!

Mariah R. Photography & Film

  • Classic style

  • Serves Akeley, MN

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Mariah, with Mariah R. Photography and Film, was so amazing and made me feel like a true princess/queen on my wedding day. Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly. She was my number one supporter through the whole day! I just can’t boast about her enough. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend her to capture your special moments. You seriously won’t regret it.

Toly Dzyuba Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Akeley, MN

For over a decade, with passion and professionalism, I've had the privilege of documenting legacies for over 250 amazing couples in the most beautiful way possible. I feel incredibly blessed for every ounce of trust placed in me. This drives me to create images that capture joy, emotions, and romance. Available for elopements and destination weddings.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Toly to photograph our wedding! From the moment we stumbled upon his portfolio, we were captivated by his ability to capture moments with such precision and artistry. His photos struck us as vivid, photorealistic memories that truly reflect how we perceive things in person. Unlike other photographers who we felt were over-editing or altering the natural beauty of a moment, Toly's choices in terms of setting, lighting, and editing style really capture those true vibrant colors while keeps everything authentic and timeless. Our first meeting with Toly for a consultation confirmed our choice. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. His pricing was competitive and flexible to fit any budget or event. We did our engagement photos with him, and the results were perfect. That helped us get used to being photographed and find the poses we loved, and Toly delivered the photos quickly so we could use them for our save-the-dates. Closer to the wedding, Toly was a pro at helping us plan the big day, making sure the time and place was right for the portraits to get that perfect natural lighting. His scheduling helped put us at ease that he'd be able to capture all of those key moments, and that we could make sure everyone knew exactly when and where to be for formal photos. During the wedding itself, he was a calm, reassuring presence who organized the big photos really efficiently and professionally, and just captured every little moment perfectly without us needing to worry about a thing throughout the day. Toly is also just a great guy. There was even a moment of crisis (unbeknownst to me at the time) when my wife Katherine had trouble with the zipper on her wedding dress, and Toly was the only one able to fix it! His quick thinking and support were beyond what we could have asked for. Now, as we look back on our wedding day, we have over 800 breathtaking photos that bring back all the emotions, joy, and beauty of that special day. Toly, thank you for everything—you truly made our day unforgettable, and we can't recommend you enough! To anyone reading, my advice would be to just take a look at his portfolio, and set up a consultation ASAP! My wife and I plan to use him for all of our photo sessions going forward.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

The purpose of documenting your wedding is day isn't just to relive it for the rest of your life but also to pass your legacy down for generations.

All those little moments that build not only your wedding day but your life. Trained with a photojournalist's eye, I work to get all the candid moments on a wedding day. While also small chunks of time throughout your day to get those beautifully posed photos.
