We interviewed Erica and Neil before selecting our photographers. They knocked it out of the park. They were prepared, professional, and most importantly, personable. I feel like we had friends with us the whole time. I lack any creative bones so thank the Lord Erica and Neil are so awesome at what they do. We were stress free during pictures thanks to them and they gave us highlight pictures immediately after the wedding. Our shots were done and ready for us to see in weeks, not months, and they are BEAUTIFUL. Erica's team are above and beyond in service and communication, they lent ears when we had to change our date and things felt crazy. We completely made the right choice in having them as part of our day. I could not, can not stress how much you'll love this business if you hire them.

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Beyond that, though, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and our relationship, love, and personalities really shine through in her work. Keighla’s work is TIMELESS ART, that is not over-edited like other photographers I’ve seen. (She also photographed both of my husband’s siblings’ weddings as well… our family can’t get enough!)

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

Bonnie Drake Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Carlton, MN

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've had the pleasure of working with Bonnie several times in the last year with her as my second shooter. She is on time, friendly, and a great person to work with. Her work is also great and I can always trust that her photos will be a great addition to my own! She'll absolutely be a great addition to your day; I wouldn't ever hesitate to hire her!

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 made us feel so comfortable from the moment we met her. Our photoshoot felt like just hanging out with a friend, we were so at ease I almost forgot we were in front of a camera! If you’re looking for a photographer to make you and your partner feel special, and get some BOMB photos, I highly recommend Meg!

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 14+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!

Hey there, I’m Eric! Originally from Nebraska, I now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, three dogs, cat, and a bunch of reptile friends. Outdoors is my passion, whether hiking, biking, climbing, or camping, rain or shine. While I love capturing weddings in the heart of the Midwest, I’m always ready to travel across the country for a unique celebration. Elopements, especially, have a special place in my heart—there’s a thrill in capturing those intimate moments, wherever they may be. I've found love in documenting portraits, especially of couples, discovering a certain magic in their connection and the uniqueness of each love story.

Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

With a passion for storytelling, I weave together posed portraits and candid moments, creating a visual narrative that defies traditional portrait photography. Each frame is an invitation to relive the most intimate and cherished moments of your life. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to authenticity. I strive to go beyond the surface, capturing the genuine emotions that make each story unique.

Madison and I met when she hired me to do her wedding flowers but since then we have worked together as collaborators on several wedding projects! She is sweet, funny, kind and wonderful at creating and sticking to realistic timelines. She captures the day as it really is and doesn't make you do corny poses or funny prompts like some other wedding photographers. Her style is dreamy fun vintage and she often brings several cameras so that you can have some photos that are digital as well as film. I am very excited to see that she is leaving her day job and spending time doing what she was meant to do, being a creative!

You'll be in good hands with Stef! She was fun and easygoing that made the entire photography process smooth! She also helped gather and direct our wedding party and guests for all the important photos. The final photos had great quality and perfectly captured the theme and feel of our wedding. We couldn't be happier with the work Stef did for our wedding!

I can’t say enough about our experience with Jenny. The magic of our day was captured perfectly, she knows just how to get those little in between moments that you would miss in the blink of an eye without her there. When they say they will tell your story, they mean it. Beginning with our engagement photos, to our recent five year anniversary pictures (with some other milestones in between, we have continued to work with Jenny because of that magic), we have looked to JCPV to capture the times we treasure the most. Communication is so easy with them, it’s really a weight off your shoulders when planning for such a huge event, it becomes one less stressor. The day of our wedding, the team just made us all feel at ease, and even jumped in to help with some on the fly wardrobe needs. Their professionalism and kindness are truly amazing. I’m always blown away. I would shoot with them a million times over and I recommend them to every bride and family.

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.

the best thing you can do as a newly wed is make sure you have the right man and more importantly the right photographer lol jk but seriously :). ‘happy’ doesn’t begin to describe the intense emotions you have on your wedding day and ‘happy’ is an understatement compared to what i felt when i got the photos back from lily. she’s an artist & an artist needs space and time to work. we just let her do her thang and my wedding photos literally came out magazine worthy. the one thing I tell everyone who has seen our photos is it was captured the way i remember it. her photos are influenced by all the emotion and aura throughout your day. she captured my Caribbean dream better than anyone else could. Forever grateful.

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!

I have worked with Savannah a couple times and absolutely love working with her! She is so so creative and never runs out of ideas! 10/10 on professionalism!

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot put into words how perfectly Colby Campbell Photography made our special day. From day one we knew that Colby was going to be amazing to work with and that we had found the photographer to bring our wedding day to life and he did just that! The quality is top-notch and his passion shows through his work. I often go back and look through our photos from our wedding and I am in awe of how every moment was captured so perfectly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer for any type of event as they will bring joy, fun, and help you capture memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you Colby Campbell Photography!

MY APPROACH IS CREATING NATURAL MOMENTS, BUT REALLY CAPTURING THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN. MY STYLE IS EMOTION-FILLED, RADIANTLY JOYFUL, WARM, AND FULL OF FEELING. You are looking for a photographer that will stand by you as your friend on your wedding day - someone you can trust. You are looking for images that you can show your kids & grandkids someday - images that have a story that goes with them! You are ready to let loose at your session, and be completely yourself. You are ready for an adventure....

Rachel and team was the perfect photographer and I am not just saying that! They made the day so much fun with our wedding party and families and we got the sneak peaks back right away the next week. You can tell she has a ton of experience, she made you feel like you have known each other forever and super comfortable if you are awkward with getting photos taken and just a great person on top of it. Our engagement photos were so beautiful as well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for A photos and a great experience. Thank you Rachel and team! 3

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

This is long because we can’t figure out how to describe how amazing Vick is- If you’re searching for a photographer who is a true artist, will make you laugh, help you remember to take a breath and savor the little moments, aid in corralling your family (including the furry kind of family members) and friends, and go above and beyond in every way to help the wedding process proceed seamlessly seriously stop searching. Andrew Vick is the real deal. He made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and did so much for our wedding aside from taking beautiful pictures. He helped everyone coordinate, fixed dresses, captured all the moments we wanted, and especially the ones we didn’t know we would look back at and absolutely treasure. It has taken us a long time to try and write a review that will accurately describe his incredible work, and what a wonderful person he is. This review still doesn’t do him justice. Words can’t describe how amazing our experience with him was.

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!
