I work in the renewable energy sector, but photography is my passion. In addition to photographing weddings and portraits, I do landscape and wildlife photography. I love to see people inspired to get outdoors, explore and have adventures because they have seen my photographs. My wishes are to inspire YOU and capture photographs that describe you.

It was a pleasure to work with Cassandra for our wedding. Her communication style was flexible and she always answered our questions promptly. The quality of her work was outstanding - she was professional and flexible throughout the process. Cassandra was calm, patience, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though our engagement session was our first professional photo shoot together. She was amazing at capturing the special moments of our wedding day, and we loved the amazing engagement and wedding photos she delivered, which arrived earlier than expected. We highly recommend her!

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.

I am absolutely head over heels in love with the stunning photos that I had the privilege of shooting with Kenny. It’s abundantly clear that he possesses an extraordinary talent that truly sets him apart. Kenny’s ability to capture moments is nothing short of remarkable. Each photograph he takes is a work of art, a perfect blend of creativity and technical expertise. His keen eye for detail, coupled with an innate understanding of light, composition, and subject, consistently results in exceptional images. Working with Kenny was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and dedication to his craft were evident throughout the shoot. He created an atmosphere that allowed my personality to shine, resulting in photos that not only looked incredible but also felt authentic and true to who I am.

I've always been a creative at heart. I thrive when I am able to fulfill my passion of creating something beautiful that others will enjoy. I discovered my love for photographing portraits and couples after taking photos for friends and family, and the rest is history! My passion is to creatively capture the beauty and authentic personality of a person, couple, or family. When I'm not out photographing a couple or editing at my computer, I enjoy going out to the best new restaurant in the city, being outdoors, or planning a trip to a new destination to explore. I'm a lover of coffee, traveling, reading and anything outdoors.

Toly Dzyuba Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

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

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.

Bedecked Florals

  • Florist
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Cottage Grove, MN

I have always been captured by the beauty of nature and flowers. There is something miraculous and poetic in the way flowers grow out of the dirt and bring such variety and delight. ​​​​​​​​ This is why we incorporate flowers into the most pivotal moments in our lives. Flowers are symbols of all the potential in these moments; they speak to all the possibility of our lives while reminding us that, though beautiful, life is fragile. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​Participating in this language of flowers is what I love to do with Bedecked. Capturing and framing life’s significant moments with all the beauty and mystery of flowers!

Awarded Best of Zola
10/10 would recommend hiring Becca from Bedecked Florals. A little back story- I had hired a florist back in 2020 pre-pandemic-I met with her once to discuss my vision- didn't hear from that florist again until I had to reach out to her 2 months before our original date to ask if we should be meeting up again to discuss flowers.. that wedding ended up getting canceled due to covid and she ended up refunding us since our second date landed on her brothers wedding- I was pretty relieved to have the opportunity to hire someone else. It was when I hired Becca when I truly realized the bullet we dodged with our first florist. Becca was so wonderful. Her communication was incredible and she made the planning process SO much easier. She looked through my Pinterest page which had no direction at all- I liked about every type of style out there and somehow she understood the vision I could never describe to her. She would pick up on the things I liked that I wasn't able to articulate- I just knew I liked the photo I pinned but I could never pick out why I liked it. She would send me REAL options of vases to choose from and would create virtual renderings of bouquet options with the flowers she would be using. She made virtual renderings of different arrangements in my ACTUAL venue, using the tables, runners, plates, glassware, ect that I rented so I could see EXACTLY how everything would look in the space. I was AMAZED. Becca made flowers the easiest part of the planning process. Come wedding time, her execusion was FLAWLESS. So many people commented on how beautiful our flowers were- her passion and hard work really showed and she absolutely nailed it. With out pause, hiring her was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding!! Thank you so much Becca! You absolutely killed it!!

I grew up with a life saturated in creativity. To put it simply: I love my job. My style tends to be joyful, raw, romantic, & bold. I love a deep splash of color in a palette of neutrals and natural light. I love traveling, ethnic food, & ice cream!

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!! Thank you so much for rocking our day Jake and everything you brought to the table. We enjoyed your cheerful attitude and great ideas, God bless you and your family.

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey was awesome! He has a very calm and professional presence and we will definitely be using him again in the future. Photos that we will have in the frame for years.

Cole Thomas is a pianist, guitarist, and singer with the ability to perform any song for any part of your wedding. Need a classical piece for your wedding party to process in to? No problem. Need a few hours of lounge and jazz music for cocktail hour? Cole's your musician. Need a Dueling Piano act or full Rock Band for your reception? Look no further. With over a decade of experience performing for ceremonies and receptions, Cole Thomas is your one stop music vendor.

Cole absolutely delighted and exceeded our wildest expectations at our wedding. He embraced the costume theme of our reception, performed significantly more music than we had expected (in a good way), and was the absolute heart and soul of our party. He improvised and adapted to every unique situation on the night with a musical and social sense of awareness that we continue to be grateful for. He even graciously agreed to play alongside Andrea's 94 year old grandmother on her accordion. Grandma is still beaming from this experience, and trust me, she's a hard woman to please. Seriously. I don't think we can ever repay him for the joy and energy he brought to our night. I couldn't get to the bar for a drink without answering the question: "Where did you FIND this guy?!" half a dozen times.

Let’s get this out of the way, yes, Angela Divine is my real name. My grandmother was Divina, she passed the name Divine onto my mom, and my mom passed it onto me. Maybe it stems from my untraditional name, but I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. In my younger years, I never fit it in, and I didn’t find my people until I stopped trying and embraced what makes me weird. I love celebrating the unique with my photography, which is why I work best with those who want their photos to be truly authentic and one of a kind. Looking forward to hearing your vision, and what makes your story so unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've had the privilege of working alongside Angela at a couple of weddings over the last few years; it's her work outside of that that I'm much more familiar with. Angela is a sweetheart; it's clear that she's passionate about what she does and it shows in the finished product. Among her strengths is how communicative and collaborative she happens to be. Weddings, in particular, are team efforts; as a wedding entertainer, I need to know where the newlyweds will be at all times to a certain point. Communicating our separate needs when it came to being on the same page and working together in a manner that allowed for both of us to be as successful as possible under the circumstances not only better served our mutual clients; it allowed me to trust in her more. I liked working with her so much that I featured her as a preferred vendor on my business blog. Whether it be as a wedding photographer or brand photography, don't pass up an opportunity to look more closely at Angela's work. I KNOW that I will be working with her again in the future.

I gravitate toward organic, lush and textural floral designs, taking my cue from seasonal blooms. My goal is to be communicative and transparent while discussing your ideal florals and to find creative and impactful ways to bring your vision to life. I always practice eco-conscious design techniques and put local flowers first.

Sarah did an exceptional job with our September 2024 wedding florals. We are absolutely thrilled to have been able to work with her and I hope this review lends some insight into how wonderful working with Sarah was! Planning and execution: Her suggestions for arrangements were thoughtful and inspired, taking into consideration our personal preferences, budget, design for our wedding and venue, and honestly... us as people. We wanted our florals and design to be an extension of our shared home of Portland and our personal aesthetics and it was just perfection. The flowers: -My bouquet was everything I dreamed it would be and more (and I'm extremely picky). Sarah was also kind enough to include a personal memorial charm that was very important to me to my bouquet. -Our boutonnieres were perfect for the groomsmen family. The pops of color tied together different ensembles and personalities. -Sarah also did florals on our vegan cakes and several statement arrangements and they were BEYOND GORGEOUS! -The freshest, most beautiful flowers. Sarah herself: is a delight to work with. She has a calm and professional demeanor. She is extremely passionate about her work in floral and very skilled and knowledgeable, without ever having the slightest touch of attitude. She was BEYOND pro and timely with every aspect of her delivery and setup. Hire her! She's amazing!!

I am a trained pianist with a passion for sharing music with others. I enjoy playing a wide variety of genres including pop, classical, Christian/gospel, and jazz and take many influences from musical theatre and pop culture performances.

Kyara was wonderful to work with and the music so professional. She really helped craft our prelude, processional, and recessional to fit our wedding style and structure. Kyara provided suggestions but also gave us freedom to decide the music we wanted to hear. Kyara’s contract and booking process was seamless, her positivity the day of was noticeable, and her kindness sincere. Definitely recommend!

We're a husband and wife wedding photography duo! We love meeting new couples and providing a service that will have you looking back at your images years from now and still have you feeling those emotions you felt on your wedding day.

I had my session done by Debra and I felt so comfortable around her! At first, I was super nervous about how to pose and she told me what to do and I felt comfortable after that. I enjoyed every bit of the session and she gave me the edited photos within 3 days max which is awesome! I love the photos and the way she makes you feel beautiful on your special day! :) I highly recommend her for any kind of shoot that you have!

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't imagine anyone better to work with for our wedding pics. Erin effortlessly met our vibe and helped us keep everything calm, cool, and moving right along. She was essential in helping us nail down a timeline that maximized our priorities but also resulted in an incredible variety of photos that perfectly captured the day. We ended up with so many photos we loved that our moms scheduled a day to reminisce on the wedding and go back through the pics together. Everything 10/10, can't recommend enough!

Milkweed Moments

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

Working with milkweed moments is a breeze! I was nervous because I have a 3 and 1 year old, and wasn’t sure how they would cooperate. Aubriana made everything go smoothly. She’s great with kids, great with directives on posing, and really made the day so fun! She got all the shots I dreamed of!”. Will be booking her again in the future!

I love capturing the moments that aren't posed or planned but that are special and YOU. I want you to be able to FEEL something when you look at my images. Your special day is unique and should be captured in a way that makes you remember every little moment as it was.

Macie does an amazing job capturing all of those special moments between poses. The moments that are raw and make you feel something when you look at them. The photos that Macie took on my wedding day tell a story and I am forever grateful to her. The photos are beautiful and edited wonderfully. I get to relive my wedding day as many times as I’d like through those photos. Also, Macie is a such a kind and genuine person. She is easy to work with and does an amazing job. I could not recommend Macie enough.

I was born and raised in Minnesota and absolutely love being able to photograph in the 4 seasons we have here! I have had a passion for photography since I was a little girl and owned a little blue Sony digital camera. I would capture times spent with family on vacation and take pictures with my friends. My mom got me into scrap booking at a young age, so I knew growing up I wanted to continue capturing all the special moments of not only my life but now others too!

From our first interaction with Photos by Morgan Ann, we were impressed by her concise, detailed, and timely communication. She listened carefully to understand our vision for the day and provided creative ideas to capture our special moments. On the wedding day, her efficient, purposeful, and skilled approach ensured the photography flowed seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. The final images beautifully reflect the joy and love of our wedding, and we are thrilled with the exceptional value Photos by Morgan Ann provided. We highly recommend them to any couple seeking an experienced, professional photography team to document their big day.

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Coming from 10+ years in venue management & wedding planning I've seen my share of photographers weekend after weekend. Let me tell you - it takes a special kind of photographer to have all the right skill set to be a good wedding photographer. Lauren is beyond that, she's great. She's personable, caring, professional, artistic, and can give you direction (this is huge) while capturing you, your mate, and your family. Her portraits are out of this world and her style is brilliant. She's in my top 5 of all time.

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

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.

Colby delivers the best possible product in the field. The lighting, composition and quality of his photos are unmatched. But he doesn't stop there... The communication from the booking date, lead up to shoot, and execution on the day is what makes Colby Campbell Photography an immersive experience that is unmatched.

Moments by Danielle Nicole is a light and airy photographer and videographer, serving brides in South Dakota, Minnesota, and open to travel to beautiful destination locations. MBDN leans towards a luxury wedding photographer and fine art type of editing style.

We hired Danielle for our wedding after our original photo/video team cancelled on us 6 months out. As stressful as it was, I’m so glad that happened because Danielle is AMAZING. She is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and her light and airy photos are stunning. She is very professional and organized. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. We all know posing for pictures is awkward sometimes, but Danielle made us and our bridal party feel comfortable on the wedding day and it shows in the photos just how much fun we had with her. Danielle actually lives in SD about 45 minutes from my husband and I and we have already discussed that she will be our go to photographer for all our future photo needs. Her prices are beyond reasonable for everything included in her packages. We actually got the same amount of coverage as the original team we hired, but for about 1500 less which is huge when planning a wedding! If you’re looking for a photo/video team reach out to Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!
