I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

  • Serves Alden, MN

We provide beautiful string music for your elegant ceremony or reception. We love working with you to tailor the music to your tastes. In addition to the classical repertoire we offer a broad range of Jewish, Scandinavian, Irish and contemporary popular music.

The Lake string Quartet was so easy to work with they were so seamless coordinating with me, the officiant, and my coordinator. I told them everything that I wanted, and they gave me so much more. My one recommendation to anyone is have your handful of songs that you really want played by the string Quartet, but then trust the experts to also pick out songs that they would recommend. What I did was I provided them a list of songs that I really wanted to hear and then let the experts do what they do best and pick out whatever song they thought would match the vibes from the guests.

I'm all about documenting love stories in a creative, documentary style that captures all the real stuff—candid moments, quirky expressions of love, and genuine personalities. My style comes from a balanced blend of documentary and editorial influences.

Brianna is beyond anything we could have imagined from our wedding photographer! We were very picky when we set out to look for wedding photographers - we wanted our photos to feel authentic and genuine to our personalities and we wanted a photographer who matched our overall wedding vibes. Brianna far exceeded our (very high) expectations. Brianna perfectly captured the beauty of every moment of our day. Plus, the super 8 film is stunning! It is amazing the emotion that Brianna captures in her work. And, as if it couldn't get any better, we felt such a genuine connection to Brianna. She was incredibly affirming to both me and my partner. I simply cannot imagine a better experience than the one we got with Brianna. If you are looking for a photographer who is responsive to your requests, a true artist, and affirming of queer love then look no further because Brianna is a perfect fit! - Annie Olson

Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a wedding photographer located in Wisconsin (but traveling anywhere!). I believe photography is a way to return to moments otherwise passed. It's a way to freeze time, emotions, and memories. I started my business at a young age, and have loved every second of it! Through ups and downs, photography has always been my passion, and I truly believe I have the best job in the world. When I'm not taking photos or editing at my computer, you will find me hanging with my husband, binging a 90's sitcom, reading Harry Potter for the 100th time, playing with my two cats, or caring for my very many plants!

She brings the fun energy that you need to wedding day photos while still being in control and getting what needs to be done, done!

My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

Over the past decade, I’ve transformed simple moments into unforgettable memories, working with over 30 couples each year. I take the time to get to know you—what makes your love story unique—and bring that to life in your proposal or wedding. Whether you want picture-perfect, luxe poses or prefer a more intimate vibe where a hug says it all, I’ve got the experience to capture it. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, my goal is to create a personalized experience that reflects your love, your way.

Katrina from KJensen Images was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first call, she helped us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, guiding us through poses and shots with ease. Katrina is hands down amazing at what she does - she can take your vision and turn it into lifelong memories. As a couple of newbies when it comes to photo shoots, Katrina made us feel like pros throughout the entire process. I highly, highly recommend her for all your photography needs!

Hey guys, we are a collective that has come together to better serve our community. They say “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Benjamin and Kelsey met at a coffee house when Kelsey was a cute girl with a camera in hand. Needless to say, they discovered that they had a mutual passion for more than just photography. We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

I have worked with Boxcar photography now on a couple of different projects and every time his photography blows me away! He is super easy to work with, and somehow always manages to capture just the right moments between the couples. He puts everyone at ease consistently throughout the shoot and the end result is truly magical. I HIGHLY recommend Ben and his team to capture the true essence of your special event.

I’m Justin, a professional videographer based out of Minnesota. I’m a college graduate from the University of Northwestern, St. Paul with a Bachelors in Creative Ministries. I love my family & friends, deep talks, the great outdoors, light-hearted fun, sports & a good board-game or movie!

When planning our wedding we were not even considering getting a videographer. After a couple months we decided it actually would be really nice and something we felt like it would be worth the investment. When I tell you, Justin absolutely delivered and blew us away will the video of our day! It was beyond beautiful and captured every emotion I felt throughout the day! His creative eye really made everything just come to life! He was so easy to work with, fun to have around day of, and so easy to communicate with! We are so pleased! Highly recommend hiring Justin! :)
