Two Oaks Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Big Lake, MN

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

Jake with Two Oaks Photography is the best photographer ever!!! We had the best experience working with Jake as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos. He made us feel so comfortable the entire time and gave us some guidance when we needed it.

Jake fit right in with our wedding party and went above and beyond on everything he did.

Photography is more than a career to me, it's my passion. I want to give you an inspired photographic experience. ‍ Your wedding images should tell your story, not mine or anyone else's. The images should evoke the raw and honest emotions of the love you share. Through my lens, I strive to faithfully translate the love and emotion you feel into timeless and genuine images, so five, ten, or fifty years from the future you can relive that day the same way you experienced it. The timeless photographs will become your treasured and preserved works of art, ready to be gathered together in an album or hung on your walls.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiropix was a great photographer to work with. We wanted a photographer who was great at candid event shots, and we were very pleased with what Kenny did for us. He requested an initial consult to get to know us and our style, and then a follow-up as the wedding got closer. The day of the wedding everyone was forced to be flexible due to some ill-timed rain/hail, and Kenny was great at getting the families together for portraits between storms. The digital photos were all delivered in an easy user-friendly package. If you are looking for a creative and personable photographer, we recommend Hiropix.

I work in the renewable energy sector, but photography is my passion. In addition to photographing weddings and portraits, I do landscape and wildlife photography. I love to see people inspired to get outdoors, explore and have adventures because they have seen my photographs. My wishes are to inspire YOU and capture photographs that describe you.

It was a pleasure to work with Cassandra for our wedding. Her communication style was flexible and she always answered our questions promptly. The quality of her work was outstanding - she was professional and flexible throughout the process. Cassandra was calm, patience, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though our engagement session was our first professional photo shoot together. She was amazing at capturing the special moments of our wedding day, and we loved the amazing engagement and wedding photos she delivered, which arrived earlier than expected. We highly recommend her!

I've always been a creative at heart. I thrive when I am able to fulfill my passion of creating something beautiful that others will enjoy. I discovered my love for photographing portraits and couples after taking photos for friends and family, and the rest is history! My passion is to creatively capture the beauty and authentic personality of a person, couple, or family. When I'm not out photographing a couple or editing at my computer, I enjoy going out to the best new restaurant in the city, being outdoors, or planning a trip to a new destination to explore. I'm a lover of coffee, traveling, reading and anything outdoors.

Toly Dzyuba Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves Big Lake, MN

Hi, I’m Toly Dzyuba, a Minneapolis based wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing love stories across Minnesota. From the scenic shores of Lake Superior to charming rustic barns in the countryside, and elegant celebrations in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. My approach is all about blending the beauty of each location with the raw emotion and joy of your special day, creating timeless, authentic images that truly reflect who you are as a couple, infused with purpose and soul

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.

Bedecked Florals

  • Florist
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Big Lake, MN

I have always been captured by the beauty of nature and flowers. There is something miraculous and poetic in the way flowers grow out of the dirt and bring such variety and delight. ​​​​​​​​ This is why we incorporate flowers into the most pivotal moments in our lives. Flowers are symbols of all the potential in these moments; they speak to all the possibility of our lives while reminding us that, though beautiful, life is fragile. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​Participating in this language of flowers is what I love to do with Bedecked. Capturing and framing life’s significant moments with all the beauty and mystery of flowers!

Awarded Best of Zola
I would give 15/10 stars if I could. Becca was the best. She was so kind, easy to work with, wonderful and her work was the most beautiful wedding flowers I have ever seen (yes, it was my wedding so while I might be biased I also have been to a LOT of weddings and I stand by the best wedding flowers I have ever seen). We didn't give her much direction other than "we like fall and its a fall wedding" and she took that and made it the fall wedding of our dreams. We received so many compliments on our flowers all night (even from strangers while we were taking pictures). And now that we have some of our pictures back people are STILL commenting on how good they look in pictures. She was timely, always responded to my many emails and took both my husbands and my ideas and made them one cohesive idea.

Hello there. I’m Andi Jo, but you can just call me Andi. I am blessed to be married to the hardest working, not to mention most attractive, concrete finisher around. As cliché as it sounds I find true beauty in everything around me. Yes, I mean EVERYTHING. Even snotty kid noses. I have an obsession for capturing real and raw moments that are both timeless and elegant. I live for the moments that aren’t rehearsed or posed. I love to spend time with my clients and make sure our bond is as strong as super glue. I cherish my brides and groom and always consider them my friends, not just a random face spending their wedding day with them.

Andi and Amanda were amazing to work with! They helped make the whole process so easy and made my magical day even more special! They helped us to include everyone we wanted (including our dog!) and helped to make as natural and beautiful photos as possible. Andi delivered our photos within a month of our wedding and I am already obsessed! Thank you so much for all your hard work!

Hi there, my name is Sophie! I'm a Minnesota based couple/wedding photographer but am happy to travel wherever you need me. I would describe myself as organized and determined, yet bubbly and laidback at the same time.

We booked Sophie after meeting with a handful of photographers who just weren’t a good fit for us personality wise. Sophie is easygoing, punctual, thorough, and professional. On our day, Sophie was early, had such a bubbly, upbeat positive attitude and was SO helpful to us. She was often the first person to offer to help us with set up and take down. Our pictures turned out even better than we had hoped, and all of the crucial moments throughout the day were captured exactly as how we experienced them. Sophie was not only an amazing photographer, but a huge asset to us on our wedding day and we could not be happier with her services!

  • Serves Big Lake, MN

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey and Miriam were fantastic to have as first and second shooters on our wedding day. Both my husband and I have large extended families, and our goal was to use the occasion to get everyone together for group photos (pre-COVID). It was a huge hassle, and took FOREVER to get everyone in the right spot but Morey didn't settle for less than great shot (even when people were goofing around and being difficult). Our sunset hour session was amazing. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera, so I was so thankful we got to work with a photographer who is chill but decisive and who captured some really beautiful moments for us.

With over a decade of experience performing for ceremonies and receptions, Cole Thomas is your one stop music vendor.

Cole absolutely delighted and exceeded our wildest expectations at our wedding. He embraced the costume theme of our reception, performed significantly more music than we had expected (in a good way), and was the absolute heart and soul of our party. He improvised and adapted to every unique situation on the night with a musical and social sense of awareness that we continue to be grateful for. He even graciously agreed to play alongside Andrea's 94 year old grandmother on her accordion. Grandma is still beaming from this experience, and trust me, she's a hard woman to please. Seriously. I don't think we can ever repay him for the joy and energy he brought to our night.

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
I've had the privilege of working alongside Angela at a couple of weddings over the last few years; it's her work outside of that that I'm much more familiar with. Angela is a sweetheart; it's clear that she's passionate about what she does and it shows in the finished product. Among her strengths is how communicative and collaborative she happens to be. Weddings, in particular, are team efforts; as a wedding entertainer, I need to know where the newlyweds will be at all times to a certain point. Communicating our separate needs when it came to being on the same page and working together in a manner that allowed for both of us to be as successful as possible under the circumstances not only better served our mutual clients; it allowed me to trust in her more. I liked working with her so much that I featured her as a preferred vendor on my business blog. Whether it be as a wedding photographer or brand photography, don't pass up an opportunity to look more closely at Angela's work. I KNOW that I will be working with her again in the future.

My name is Sarah Rose, owner of Faded Era Floral. Established in 2020, Faded Era offers full service wedding florals, elopement packages and special occasion local deliveries. I gravitate toward organic, lush and textural floral designs, taking my cue from seasonal blooms. My goal is to be communicative and transparent while discussing your ideal florals and to find creative and impactful ways to bring your vision to life. I always practice eco-conscious design techniques and put local flowers first.

Sarah did an exceptional job with our September 2024 wedding florals. We are absolutely thrilled to have been able to work with her and I hope this review lends some insight into how wonderful working with Sarah was! Planning and execution: Her suggestions for arrangements were thoughtful and inspired, taking into consideration our personal preferences, budget, design for our wedding and venue, and honestly... us as people. We wanted our florals and design to be an extension of our shared home of Portland and our personal aesthetics and it was just perfection. The flowers: -My bouquet was everything I dreamed it would be and more (and I'm extremely picky). Sarah was also kind enough to include a personal memorial charm that was very important to me to my bouquet. -Our boutonnieres were perfect for the groomsmen family. The pops of color tied together different ensembles and personalities. -Sarah also did florals on our vegan cakes and several statement arrangements and they were BEYOND GORGEOUS! -The freshest, most beautiful flowers. Sarah herself: is a delight to work with. She has a calm and professional demeanor. She is extremely passionate about her work in floral and very skilled and knowledgeable, without ever having the slightest touch of attitude. She was BEYOND pro and timely with every aspect of her delivery and setup. Hire her! She's amazing!!

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. We can accommodate large wedding parties and meet the needs of all of our brides. I am so thankful to use my passion and creativity to serve brides on their wedding day!

From the moment I reached out to 139 Hair by Heidi, I was impressed by their clear communication and attentiveness to answering all of my questions. During the trial run, I had a lot of fun working with Jessica and loved how my hair turned out for the big day. I very much appreciated Heidi's coordination with my makeup artist to ensure we were all on the same timeline for getting ready. On the wedding day, Jessica's expertise truly shone through, and I could not have been happier with the final look. 139 Hair by Heidi played an integral role in making our special day perfect.

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

Awarded Best of Zola
Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and were blown away by the everything she captured for us. She is professional, yet laid back and fun to work with. She made us feel totally at ease with the process. We opted for a second shooter for our wedding, and we are so glad we did! Erin and Brandon were able to capture so many candid moments from our day, and were so creative with locations and poses for our photos. We cannot speak more highly of Erin and her services, 100/10 would recommend!

The day of, Jamie and the second artist Cailyn both arrived early, kept on schedule, and made everyone look and feel gorgeous - took our requests for “soft glam” well and even moms who had never got makeup or lashes done loved their makeup and didn’t feel overdone.

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!

There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.
