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 !!

Emma Jeanson Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,400
  • Serves Dakota, MN

For eight years I have had a passion for photography, and capturing moments that tell a story.  I love to bring an element of fun to the table during your shoot and build new, trusting, friendships.  While photography is my passion, I also share a lifelong career in nursing. I hold a diploma in Fine Arts Photography, as well as a Master's Degree in Nursing. I love the smell of the air on a summer morning, the silence of the city when it snows, my boyfriend of seven years, Daniel, and the beautiful life we have made together including our 2 dogs and 2 cats.

Emma is hands down one of my favorite photographers. She has an incredible vision but will always utilize the clients preferences or requests. If you don’t know what you’re looking for, she will give you personal opinions, experience and guide in the way she envisions for you/as a couple/or family. I have already done 3 photo shoots with her and I have never been or will ever be disappointed by her work! She’s so affordable for truly an amazing investment. My fiancé and I have already established that we have found our forever photographer, especially for our future wedding and when we’re ready for family photos. We recently did our engagement photos and about 4 hours after we left our shoot, she had already uploaded and given us access to a dozen photos. The sneak peak preview was everything and is always appreciated to give you that excitement and something to work with while waiting for her to finish editing all photos. The confidence, pride and awe I have from our photos can not fully be defined by words - the work she does speaks for itself. HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!!!!! You’d regret not using her as your photographer.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

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.

We were also touched with the short film Caz created, which beautifully captured the essence of our celebration. On top of that, they were generous of their time, even coming early to capture the beginning of our wedding preparations.

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae Krell Photo was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, they were communicative, professional, and made us feel so comfortable and at ease. As a queer couple where one of us is plus-size, we were nervous about being in front of the camera, but Mae put us right at ease. The photos they captured are absolutely beautiful - they have such an artistic eye and really highlighted the love and joy of our special day. We had never had professional photos taken before, but Mae made the entire experience comfortable and affordable. We would highly recommend Mae Krell Photo to any couple looking for gorgeous, personalized wedding photography.

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!!

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!

Oh my lanta. Where do I begin? If we had to get married again, my first task would be to see if Rigg & Co was available and if not, I’d change my wedding date. I couldn’t imagine not having her there! First, Kate listens to what you want. My husband and I really wanted a lot of candid photos of us and our guests. We had an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family so it was important to us that she captured them in the moment! Mission accomplished and more. Second, Kate is so talented and also just a fun human to be around. There’s no awkwardness or that “is this a good pose? Am I doing what I’m supposed to?” feeling because she makes you feel so comfortable! It was like she was just a part of the family and fit right in. She really was there at every moment - the rehearsal, up very early the next morning to go to the farmers market where I picked out my flowers, the ceremony, the dance, everything! Looking back, I’m extra thankful for her and the long day she put in because every moment was captured beautifully and exceeded my expectations. It even rained during our ceremony and the way she captured us during it was magical! I also can’t leave a review without mentioning the video she made! I was blown away by this. The video is so well done and thoughtful and really special to us as we got married during COVID and we had people who could not attend. This video allows them to see all of the intimate details of our wedding without actually being there. We even hired her years later to do family photos with our doggo! She’s the best. I feel like I’m rambling but it’s really because I cannot say enough positive things about Kate - hire her!

Lizzie and Logan are an absolute dream to work with! We took our engagement pictures and wedding pictures with LM photography and could not love our pictures more if we tried! They are so easy and fun to work with. They truly take in to account everything that you want out of your pictures and DELIVER! We had so much fun working with Lizzie and Logan - even my husband (who isn’t a pictures kind of guy) said he had an absolute blast with them. On top of making the process a breeze, we got our sneak peaks the MORNING AFTER our wedding!! To say they go out of their way for you and your pictures is an understatement - I wish I could rate them higher than 5 stars, they deserve it!
