Rigg & Co. were the perfect photographer for our wedding day!! She made the entire process of selecting the perfect wedding package and planning our wedding day seamless, putting us completely at ease. Her energy and passion for her work shine through the entire process and are reflected in the photos!! The quality of their work was more than we could have imagined - she was incredibly detail-oriented and captured all the small, special moments that we'll treasure forever.

Ceri McCaffrey Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,950
  • Serves Cologne, MN

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

Ceri was a joy to have as our photographer! She captured both our engagement photos and wedding day. All our friends and family commented on how efficient, kind and patient she was. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful photos of our day and we felt so comfortable with her. Ceri excels at capturing moments and memories and really getting to know you as a couple. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Loui Photography LLC / Loui + Co 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Cologne, MN

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!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

She's got the skills, the eye for detail, and an amazing personality to match. We're so grateful to have had her as part of our special day, and we'll cherish the memories she captured forever.

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding. If you are looking for a photographer, Winterlyn is hands down the best! Thank you for everything Winterlyn!

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Meredith is amazing! She's so easy to work with, she kept up with my neurotic emails and texts. She's great at communicating all details and scheduling. She is just the most down to earth soul you'll meet. She did a fantastic job at corralling my family for our group picture. I have a HUGE family, and it's not easy to get us all in one spot (especially with children and babies all over) But Meredith was so patient with us. She managed to get AMAZING shots in the chaos. Everyone loved her aura. She really captured the love that was shared that day. I am forever grateful for her capturing our special day.

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!

Ok! Get on her books now because I cannot say enough positive things about Rachel! (As if her photos don't speak for themselves?! Her work is stunning!) Rachel met with me 1:1 and I was super impressed with her knowledge and organization. She was the MVP vendor of my wedding day!

Jason is professional, friendly, and his outgoing personality makes the shoot so comfortable and enjoyable. During our wedding, he also went above and beyond by making sure to take care of us. He knows the ups and downs of a wedding, so he would make sure we were okay by reminding us to stay hydrated and to eat, he would be so great communicating the schedule for the day, and what to expect and what to do throughout the photoshoot. So grateful for his expertise and we totally recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Not only have I worked weddings with Jessica in the past, but I hired her to shoot my wedding this past September, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I think that alone says a lot, but Jessica is a pure wizard when it comes to photography. Her skills at capturing all the candid moments with friends and family is impeccable, and she really allows space for your individuality as a couple to shine through (as opposed to canned pose after canned pose). I don't know how she made our photos look like pieces of art in addition to capturing the essence of our relationship, but like I said, she's magic.

We may be crazy kicking underneath to keep things rolling smoothly, but above the water, we’ll always stay calm and collected

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 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.

Where to start on Jake Lanes ability to take AMAZING photos!?! Two Oaks photography is something you’ll want to check out. I randomly came across Jake on the internet looking for someone to shoot Josh and I’s wedding on 10.3.2020. We got an engagement session with him to better get to know him, his style, and see the quality of the photos. The engagement session was so much fun, we actually got fully submerged into the Mississippi river to try and get the perfect shot! Yes, the shots did turn out quite great. Jake is creative, witty, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond. As thrilled as we were about the engagement photos, we were that much more excited about our big day and it being captured! We had Jake, his lovely wife Amanda and actually a videographer which was a total surprise on our big day (a good one). We just got the wedding photos back and am totally blown away by the amazing photos. These are photos Josh and I will cherish the rest of our lives!!

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.

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.

I’ve shot over 75 weddings, and continue to in Las Vegas, NV, MN, ND, and beyond. I would love to serve you as a part of my journey. All I want is to build a relationship with you, be your third wheel, & send you off with memories.

Nikayla was wonderful to work with and our photos turned out incredibly. Her artistry, professionalism and flexibility captured the romance and beauty of our wedding day.
