Michelle Huber Photography

Cottage Grove, MN
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

I believe every wedding deserves the absolute best, no matter what the budget. I am fortunate to have been able to work with some of the most wonderful and interesting couples over the 20 plus years that I have been photographing weddings. I am inspired by my couples, and always strive to grow and improve both as an artist and a human being-never stop learning and enjoying life to the fullest!

My wife, Kristin, and I initially had engagement photos taken in Denver, CO. When Kristin began looking for a wedding photographer, she scoured for the best in Minnesota. The Knot led us to Michelle Huber Photography and her portfolio was spectacular. Fortunately, Michelle was available for our wedding date because her schedule was rapidly filling up. Despite having a set of engagement photos already taken, we could not turn down an opportunity with Michelle. I want to stress that her photography skills and abilities are magnificent. During the engagement photo session, her personality elevated the entire experience. It was as if we were working with an old friend. Michelle kept the experience lighthearted, she was patient when bystanders meandered into the shot, and never once did we feel as if the session was awkward. Needless to say, after the engagement photo session, we were excited to see her on the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, Michelle and her husband, Trent, are consummate professionals. Trent stayed with my groomsmen and myself, while Michelle was with Kristin and her bridesmaids. While Michelle deserves all the praise that she is due, Trent is on an equal plane. He captured wonderful in-the-moment photos and deftly staged everybody when it was necessary. Never once did I feel like he was an intrusion or the experience was inorganic. When the time came from the first look, transition to the ceremony site, and our numerous stops, Michelle and Trent did not miss a beat. The sheer amount of wholesome candid photos demonstrate their professionalism. We are still surprised at the details that we missed when we were in the moment. We are fortunate that Michelle and Trent captured these moments for us. I must recognize Michelle and Trent's flexibility. I am of Chinese-descent and my parents wanted to perform a tea ceremony prior to the actual ceremony. Michelle and Trent graciously made adjustments and captured this important moment for our families to experience. My family is grateful for their willingness to memorialize a family custom that was not highlighted on our itinerary. Overall, our experience with Michelle Huber Photography is phenomenal. My brother-in-law was impressed with the level of professionalism, quality, and skill, so he booked Michelle and Trent as well. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to work with them again. After that, my best friend/groomsman, Brian, also took my recommendation and booked Michelle. Every time I worked with them, the experience continues to raise the level of expectation for other professionals. We pick back up on old conversations and check-in on life changes. I am highly confident that other Minnesota/Midwest-based photography services cannot match Michelle Huber Photography. If you, the purveyor of professional services, want the best, do not hesitate to contact Michelle Huber. All other offerings will only disappoint and you will lament over what could have been with Michelle Huber Photogrphy. At this point, I am running out of marriage-ready friends to recommend but I will continue to shout their praises.

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

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.

So what are you waiting for? Let’s create the wedding of your dreams and make it a party that nobody will ever forget!

We had not one, but TWO other DJs cancel on us. We were getting deflated, frustrated, and losing money on DJs that would take our deposits and run. We even tried a "popular" service to find, it was a horrible match. The other, took outlr deposit and never spoke to us again. So for the 3rd try, (sadly shoulda went with them first) we called back these guys. We did check them out at first, but we're convinced cheaper was better. Nope. We learnt a lesson, a hard lesson. DJ Sound and Luke took us in battered, beaten, feeling defeated, and turned it all around. The planning with then made us feel at ease, and comfortable, and safe. They got our ides onto the forms, and the DJ was outstanding. It's like he knew our families and had the perfect songs picked and played. I'm not sure how they do it....but every time I reied to get off the dance floor, I had to turn around and gat back on because another awesome song was starting to play. Because I was on the dance floor all night with my friends, I missed some family connections, but I don't care, I'll see them at the holidays......it was MY night! DJ Sound taught me a few things. Patients, that great isn't cheap, and cheap isn't great, and that actually, they they were able to show my and my fiance love when we were beat down, hopeless, and discouraged. No jusgement from them, not even any talk about the other guys, they just hit the ground running. This company and all their employees are a blessing and we couldn't be more thank full. Highly recommend, but most of all, thank you for everything, it was an epic day.....just like you guaranteed!

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

From the very first time that I worked with Nicole, we've developed a relationship that goes beyond simply being colleagues in the wedding industry. Nicole is personable, friendly, dedicated and she clearly LOVES what she does. I've had the opportunity to work alongside her at a few wedding receptions; she and I have also traded referrals for events as well. I am a BIG fan of her work; the turnaround is VERY fast, in my experience. I have been so impressed that I also became a client, hiring her to do a photo shoot of my children for a surprise birthday gift for my wife. In my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Nicole and Little Mac Design.

Josh was absolutely AMAZING to work with. Honestly I cannot say enough good things. My husband and I have been to many weddings, and one thing we have learned is that the DJ/dance floor can make or break the night -- Harmony DJ DID NOT DISAPPOINT. They kept the party going the entire time.

Noe at Viva La Fiesta did an absolutely incredible job as DJ and MC at our wedding. We had a few meetings with him prior to our special day where he came organized and prepared to discuss all of the important songs and overall vibe that we were going for. Our wedding was a beautiful mix of central Minnesota and South Texas cultures, and we expressed wanting the music to cater to all of our loved ones in attendance. We had cumbia, salsa, country, Chappel Roan, bachata and all of the fun music of today! It truly was perfect. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Noe and his ability to read a crowd and deliver a great party. No matter what you’re looking for, Noe at Viva La Fiesta is your guy!! Leia and Taylor

Awarded Best of Zola
Reeds & Rushes is an amazing venue! When we first toured the place, it was still under construction, but we trusted Curtis and Maddy's vision. They truly impressed us with the final result. With the wood details and black and white accents, the venue provides the perfect backdrop for your special day. We were thrilled with the addition of the dock and the pergolas in the back patio. Our outdoor ceremony by the lake was beautiful. The Bridal & Groom suites were terrific, I loved that the Groom suite had a golf simulator – it kept the guys entertained while they waited! The Bridal suite was also gorgeous and spacious enough for 8 girls. Curtis and Maddy were excellent to work with, very responsive, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. I would definitely recommend them!

We are a personalized Wedding DJ company based out of Becker Mn. We help you plan your wedding from day one. Our goal is to have you trust our DJ 100% BEFORE your wedding day. Then of course rock the party at your wedding.

Nicholas Thomas Entertainment was fantastic to work with for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was exceptional - they were always checking in to see if we had any questions or needed help with anything music-related. On the day of our wedding, their DJ was so in tune with our favorite songs and kept the dance floor packed all night long. The only minor downside was that our social hour location wasn't able to have music, but overall their service and value was fantastic. I'd give them a 9/10 rating and highly recommend them to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding entertainment team.

  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

Ari Reynolds Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

Ari has been amazing to work with. I think any photo gallery really shows off her talent. I'll point out that our event had both full-sun spaces and windowless interiors, and she captured the everything equally well. But what you can't so easily see from the galleries would be everything else that Ari does. She's one of those people that always runs at 110%. She helped us to create a timeline for the day and executed it, and she acted as an announcer when needed... really, she directed the show! Another couple we are friends with were so impressed with her work on the day-of, saying they would have wanted to hire her if they hadn't already gotten married a few months prior. Overall 10/10 recommend working with Ari!

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer based in Minneapolis. I also travel often for weddings, so I can be available wherever you are! I enjoy all of the classic things about a wedding, and also love to get creative with trendy images too.

I am a person that is very camera shy and stiff and do not know how to pose so I was nervous about my wedding day photos. I told Maddy about that and after the first few minutes of her taking photos of me I forgot about it. Maddy was able to direct me, my husband and guests in a way that was comfortable, made everyone relaxed and just felt organic. I was actually having fun taking photos for the first time ever and was excited to see the results which, by the way, were AMAZING! I am so happy I chose her as my photographer and I could not recommend her more.
