Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

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 was so wonderful to work with and efficient! At a wedding where I was the planner/coordinator, there were so many moving parts, and times were getting pushed around on the timeline. She and I worked together and communicated efficiently to get things back on track and made sure the couple was happy and got all their pictures.

We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

We came across Charby & Co and I told her about the vision I had for our wedding elopement. She was very professional and she stayed in touch with me for months leading up to our big day. She was very insightful of the location we picked, and she had many recommendations for places near by during our stay. Charby & Co exceeded my expectations when it comes to her amazing, talented, beautiful work! I will forever be grateful that she was my photographer for one of the best days in my life.

I spent hours searching for the best wedding photographer for my big day, vetting 25 different professionals. The moment I met Natalie, I knew she was the visionary I was hoping for. She exuded calm and was incredibly organized, her professionalism showing in every planning session and resource. She even provided a photography planning guide full of wedding day resources, tips, and vendor recommendations. On the day of our wedding, Natalie navigated my massive bridal party with ease, capturing every carefully considered detail and breathtaking wide-angle shot of every moment. We received luxurious photos that my friends and family have told me look straight out of a bridal magazine. And then, while we were on our honeymoon, she surprised us only a few days later with stunning sneak peek shots! She was my absolute favorite member of my vendor team and I have recommended her to every friend of mine getting married.

Capturing your story and making your memories last forever is why I love what I do. I get to meet new people and experience their life for a brief moment. Learning about who or what they love. Sharing memories and experiences together.

Alex Rae Photography was a wonderful photographer for our wedding day. Alex was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, always providing clear communication. On the wedding day, Alex was able to go with the flow when needed but also confidently take charge to guide us through portraits. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing all the special moments. Alex made the entire process easy and comfortable. We felt at ease in front the camera and the photos reflect the joy we felt. The quality shows in the final edited photos and the value was well worth the cost. We would highly recommend Alex Rae Photography for your wedding or special event photography needs.

My goal is to always serve you well in all areas of your wedding or elopement! I love capturing love! It is my absolute favorite!

My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a wedding is such an incredible time in your life! We are a husband and wife photographer team for weddings, so you'll get twice the laughs while taking photos and the peace of mind knowing we are helping you keep your day on schedule with all your planners! Being married with two kids of our own, we completely understand the craziness of the wedding world. We want to help make everything on your big day as exciting and as magical as you've envisioned since you were a child! We believe that two is better than one.

We could not have had a better photography experience at our wedding! Teagan was our main photographer with her husband as our 2nd photographer. They work so well together and everything ran smoothly. Teagan was fun, friendly, and connected with our group perfectly. We had a bounce house at our wedding and she got right in there take photos in it! We did have issues with our DJ, and Teagan made sure to advocate for us and our schedule to make sure the evening flowed perfectly. We cannot thank her enough for that! We met with her prior to the wedding to finalize details and the schedule, and she made sure to incorporate everything we wanted, even giving suggestions we hadn’t thought about and loved! We love looking back on our photos and cannot thank her enough for how perfect they turned out!

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for almost 8 years. I was drawn into weddings after shooting my first one and loving how fun it was to hang with people on their best day ever. They're surrounded by their family and friends and so much love and happiness. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I love so much, that it doesn't feel like work. I'm married to my favorite person in the world and we love to travel. We have 3 kids, one son in law and 2 little grand babies that we completely adore!

You don’t know it yet, but you need Julie. She is absolutely amazing. Stop your photographer search here and choose Julie. She makes you feel so comfortable and that you’ve know her for years. Her passion for photography does not go unnoticed. Julie’s photos are of high quality and we absolutely love the natural brightness of her edits, even on gloomy days. Julie was so so easy to contact, was flexible and literally took stress off my plate. I cannot thank her enough. She was a huge part of our big day and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. She’s like a personal attendant and photographer and best friend all in one. You need Julie. We cannot wait to work with her (and her husband and team!) again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

If you're looking for a stress-free day that you can truly enjoy and someone there to capture all the moments you were hoping for and more...can I just say HEYO!! More than anything, it is my pride and joy to guide you from our first meeting to your final gallery with ease and support. Our preparation will ensure that your day is centered around the two of you instead of literally anything else. As your wedding should be!

Awarded Best of Zola
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

From our first chats, Natalie was the sweetest human ever. She helped me pick a location for engagement photos when I didn’t know what to do. And she put up with me rescheduling our wedding date several times due to covid. You can tell she really loves what she does and it really shows through in her work. Even when the lighting in our church ceremony was less than ideal, she put in so much extra time and effort to make them as good as they could be. Ricky did our videography and it was so much more beautiful than I ever imagined and we were so happy we had the video package. I felt so lucky to have found Lollipop media for our special day!

Mercy is amazing! She came to our home to take newborn photos, and didn’t rush us, and let me take time to feed our new baby in the middle of the session so he would calm down and be settled for pictures. She got us sneak peeks about a week later and the whole gallery a couple weeks after that! She was helpful suggesting different poses and working with the inspiration pics I had sent her before hand. She is also so sweet to be around and made us feel super comforting while taking pictures, I highly recommend Mercy !!

So, imagine we are doing that while I invite you into my world for just a bit. I'm Mindi with Mindi Jennings Photography. My husband, my boys and I own Pleasant Pastures Weddings & Events on our ranch property. We also run a small herd of cattle and sheep. I have taken my love of photography and created a business. I like to keep things simple, authentic & fun with true to color photographs.

Mindi Jennings Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, Mindi's communication was quick, clear, and honest. She has a joyful energy that immediately put us at ease and there was never any pressure. The quality of her work is spot on - the photos are gorgeous in color and she has a real talent for making you feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. On our wedding day, Mindi was extremely well-organized, with poses ready to go that kept everything moving along seamlessly. When I felt a bit awkward, she made me feel confident and comfortable, and the final photos show that we felt like a million bucks! Hiring Mindi was money very well spent, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories she captured of our special day.

I find great joy in the art of capturing the merging of two lives as they become one. I understand the importance of capturing the beauty, emotion, and intricacies of the day so that they can be remembered forever. It is an honor for me to work alongside you and your family and capture this monumental milestone. My sessions are filled with laughs, crazy stories, and adventures. I can't wait to meet you! I also speak Spanish.

Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

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. Kate, fit right in with everyone and kept us smiling all day with her jokes and throughout our photos. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and I couldn't have imagined a better photographer. I would recommend Rigg & Co. to anyone, and I can't wait to work with her again in the future.
