Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!

Tyler Herwig

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Bloomington, MN

When I was 16 years old I began to teach myself how to play guitar so that I could impress a girl that I had a huge crush on... she wasn't very impressed at the time. However, one day I was playing outside and a woman walking by asked my to sing in her wedding. That day change my entire life. I truly fell in love with music when I performed at that wedding, and have since made it my job to make every wedding day as special, and unforgettable as possible. (please email herwigmusic (at) gmail for booking-- sorry i can't put the actually email address in there...)

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding photographer, I've experienced the impact vendor communication has on the overall perfection of a wedding day. I have had several opportunities to work along side Tyler Herwig and even though our wedding day roles are different Tyler's professionalism and attention to detail spills out inspiring everyone involved to go above and beyond. Knowing that Tyler is keeping guests entertained during happy hour helped my bride and groom relax while we took some time for a few post ceremony photos. Tyler easily makes the switch from ceremony accompaniment to happy hour melodies to filling the air with that perfect love song as the bride and groom dance their first dance. I highly recommend Tyler Herwig to create that perfect 'soundtrack' for your special day.

Welcome to my corner of the internet :) I’m a couple’s and wedding photographer based in Minnesota! It is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

Rachel Lahlum Photography

  • Serves Bloomington, MN

Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a wedding, portraits, and events photographer based in Minneapolis. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012, and have experience photographing over 300 weddings – not one has ever felt like work. I think I have the best job in the world. My approach is to capture the story of your wedding day, from start to finish. Because no two couples (or weddings) are exactly alike, I customize my approach specific to you. From the moment we connect, it’s my goal to help you feel at-ease. I'll help you plan your day, work with you to find the best locations for photos, guide you through poses, and we'll make it fun!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Rachel as our wedding photographer! She was willing to accommodate our 2-day schedule, with photos at multiple locations including a courthouse and a brewery, and really listened to our vision for the events. She was great at making us and our guests feel comfortable (and look good) in photos. She’s a kind person and worked well with our other vendors to coordinate timing. We really appreciated that she sent us lots of preview photos quickly. It took a while to get all the final photos but they were worth waiting for, and the keepsake box she sent with our USB was so special. We’d highly recommend hiring Rachel!

I am a full-time film photographer and ceramic artist. I bring a calm, intentional, artful lens to whatever medium I am practicing, including wedding photography. I want images to feel a bit undone, honest, and full of life. The images that would be a treasure to find dust covered in a shoe box years and years from now and would tell an honest story of who you were and how you loved.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Her calm energy, belief in a slow process and general kindness were key to making our day the dream that it was. We chose Jess to capture our wedding day because of her ability to create honest, down-to-earth images of moments in time with an artistic and detailed eye. Our images capture the vulnerability and joy that is a wedding day so naturally. Nothing about our images feel forced or cliche. She skillfully captured the spirit of the event and was clear in her understanding that a wedding is about community. We have images of our loved ones that we will treasure forever and are so deeply grateful for spending our day with her. We cannot recommend Jess enough.

Welcome to a world of modern romance and timeless elegance, where tales of both the young and old are beautifully captured. A picture is worth a thousand words - I'm inspired by the charm of old films reimagined in the present, I weave the old into the new with the timeless elegance and meaning.

As you stand beside your soulmate on your big day, you will make your most awesome promise yet. A promise to forever with your best friend. I believe that the promise you make on your wedding day deserves to be memorialized in a way that does justice to you story. The images we’ll create will become your first family heirloom. I don't take that responsibility lightly! I’ll be there to capture everything: from the belly laughs in your getting ready room, to the tears in your honey’s eyes when they see you, to your friend’s and family’s hilarious dance moves. I promise to capture it all! Ready to get this party started?! Shoot me a message!

Celisia was on a very short list of photographers that we had in mind after we got engaged in Spring 2019. For our engagement and wedding pictures, we really wanted someone who would have the photos really reflect the day for what it was. Celisia did just that. When we were meeting with photographers, she came up with packages that fit our needs, she was really comfortable to work with (also helps that she and I went to school together back in the day), and brought a lot of energy to the shoots. Something that I looked at a lot when it came to photographers was the ethnic and racial diversity of their portfolios. I knew that was something important to Celisia, and that's what sealed the deal for me. Not unrelated, but just a great tidbit, during our couples' pictures before the ceremony, I went to pose with my husband and my leg just cramped up, I had to cling to him to keep from falling over. Jessica, the second shooter, offered to go grab water and basically made it to the basement of the church and back outside in less than five minutes. The rest of that portion they both made sure that I hydrated and break if needed. It was a great experience, and we really appreciated the ease and respectfulness they had for our venue when taking pictures. We've gotten lots of compliments about all of our pictures since receiving the full gallery back. Overall, an amazing experience, would highly recommend, and support Black businesses, especially professional services like photography!

If you want a packed dance floor from beginning to end, a club like experience and the BEST DJ's in town - then choose GenNOW for all your Wedding Day needs. From the first interaction, we knew we were in good hands. Tim responds quickly and really takes care of his couples. When our original GenNOW DJ had a family emergency and could no longer DJ our wedding, Tim immediately found us a new GenNOW DJ - and this is when we were introduced to DJ Matt. I don't have enough words to tell you how incredible Matt is! He is the most energetic, most caring, most bubbly, down-to-earth DJ there ever was. He immediately took my husband and I under his wing and would do anything to make us happy. By the end of the night, he was more like family to us than a vendor. Nonetheless, our dance floor was more like a club then a wedding and every single guest, young or old, was dancing all night long. To this day, people still say how much fun they had! Book GenNOW, ask for Matt, and you won't regret it!!

After a decade of producing action sports content internationally, we decided to pursue cinematic wedding videography in Spring 2013. We have filmed over 200 weddings and have won many awards. We have filmed together for over 15 years. We can’t wait to capture your day & give you a beautiful wedding video that you can enjoy forever. We use 5 HD cameras with 2 videographers at all events in order to capture the intimate details & not miss a moment. We use drones to capture epic aerial footage at all weddings. Packages start at $2800. Based in Minneapolis, but love to travel.

Michael and Blake are phenomenal people and even more amazing videographers. They floated throughout our wedding day without a snag and captured every special moment we could have imagined! A videographer was something my husband and I debated cutting from our wedding budget, but wow are we glad we didn't! We had a vision in mind that we communicated with them during pre-wedding meetings and they executed it to a 'T'. They were responsive, professional, and not to mention timely! We had our wedding video back to us fully edited within 3 weeks, hands down to the team that provided such a special video to let us relive our wedding day for years, thank you!

We’re here to help. We’ve talked brides down from ledges, helped caterers break down tables, and pinned boutonnieres onto tuxedos. We’ll laugh, bring the fun, and always keep our heads even when something goes wrong. At Studio Veil, we think of ourselves as ducks on water. We may be crazy kicking underneath to keep things rolling smoothly, but above the water, we’ll always stay calm and collected

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give 6 stars, I would. If you are looking for a no-drama vendor, look no further. Not only did Ryan help us take our engagement photos 8 months before our wedding (and it was Ryan himself, not some random photographer), but his team was our entire media-suite for the wedding. From DJ who played all of the songs we had on our list, to a fun photo booth, to taking wonderful video and pictures of our entire special day... he was literally alongside us for all of the documentation of our wedding. As terrible as it is for me to say, thankfully, his team was never in view, never in the way; they captured the intimate moments, the big raucous crowds, and everything in between. Moreover, his involvement goes beyond day-of, as the photo book he created from our wedding now lives on our mantel as a permanent reminder of one of the happiest day of our life. There is no over-selling Ryan Veil or his team. Wedding planning is complicated, and Ryan not only delivered with his artistry, but his organized approach and proactive communication allowed my wife and I to focus on each other instead of worrying that the moment would be captured (which is a big deal because my wife has a terrible tendency to always have her phone out needing to 'capture the moment'). The candid pictures were fire. Also... with the last name Veil, what are you doing choosing someone else?

I've had the joy of spending the past 7 years capturing more than 120+ weddings! My style is timeless and story focused. I’m not here to give you a music video or a highlight reel. I'm here to create an heirloom. One that you'll love, cherish, and pass on for generations to come.

From the start, he was incredibly easy to work with—professional, friendly, and truly passionate about his craft. At first, we weren’t even planning on having a wedding video, but now, looking back, it’s the one thing we cherish the most. Chris captured every special moment beautifully, and the final video was beyond what we ever expected. The way he brought our day to life makes us feel like we’re reliving it every time we watch.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

With 16 years of bartending experience under my belt, I have cultivated a deep love for the art of mixology. This passion has blossomed into my mobile bar business, where I bring the bar experience directly to your event.

We have been seeing Tiffany at her establishment for years, when she said she was opening a business we were so excited to have her work our events. She has a passion for what she does and she is SO good at it! I wouldn't hire any other bar service- she is by far the best!!

Hello Hello! I'm Eleanor Severina, but my friends call me El ! I am a Documentary Wedding Photographer Based in Minneapolis and NYC, but will travel wherever your love is. I specialize in documentary-style, artistic, and timeless wedding and portrait photography.

Let me save you ALL the time by telling you to BOOK SEVERINA STUDIOS NOW! I spent countless hours searching for wedding photographers on wedding apps, IG, etc. and Elle's portfolio is unmatched. She was everything we hoped for and more! She kept everyone at ease during photos and captured so many moments and details we'll cherish forever. She worked so well with our coordinator to keep our timeline on track and kept us laughing all along the way. Our venue is known to be difficult for photographers, as it's very dim and intended to be candlelit. It was no challenge for Elle - her work was stunning! Seriously - end your stressful search for this critically important role and book Severina Studios!

Owner, Jennifer Guion performs the many jobs needed to own and operate a small business: owner, manager, designer, buyer, and accountant. She has always had interests in both science and art, and pursued a degree in environmental science with a concentration in biology but found that it wasn’t a creative enough environment. After nurturing interests in creative fields, floral design won out over photography and other pursuits. In 1998 Jennifer decided the perfect way to balance her diverse interests in art and science would be to become an entrepreneur and open her own floral business.

Clare at Luna Vinca provided incredible service and flowers. She was very upfront about pricing, which flowers would be best, and which ones would be a waste of money. Clare was very communicative and went above and beyond to design flowers that fit my vision. The floral set up was absolutely spectacular and even better than I imagined. I can't recommend Luna Vinca and Clare highly enough! Just incredible to work with!

I want to create with you a time capsule: a way to transport you back to your wedding day and how it all felt. I believe photography is the purest form of storytelling. I live for the unrehearsed, beautiful and genuine images. Those filled with pure joy and even tears. I also know how to help you treasure those family photos (your family ROCKS!) and capture all the details that become so precious. Your story is AMAZING and I can't wait to be there to celebrate together!

Laura has captured every part of our wedding journey from the proposal to our engagement photos to our wedding day. She is the sweetest soul and consistently puts out amazing photos. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera but she always made us feel so comfortable. We brought our dog to both our engagement photos and our wedding. He’s not great in front of the camera either but she was able to get some of my favorite shots of both days with him behaving for 30 seconds at a time.
