Toly Dzyuba Photography 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves Dayton, 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.

Erica did an outstanding job photographing our wedding earlier this month. We initially reached out to her because we heard she had photographed another wedding at our venue and we are so thankful we did. Her work is amazing and she is so fun to work with. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken but she made the whole day carefree and fun. She had a schedule for all the photos and everything went smoothly. We even ended up with extra time which allowed us to get some fun night shots in during the reception. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a photographer!

We travel all over this country, and even internationally, when the right opportunity presents itself, documenting love stories for our amazing couples. Our goal with each new wedding, is not to be just good or “good enough”--the goal is to be world-class, one of the top wedding photography teams in the world. Each couple helps us accomplish this.

Working with J. Roman was a dream! We won an engagement shoot with J and quickly knew we wanted him as our wedding photographer after an engagement shoot that was so fun! He delivered hundreds of photos that we loved. His range is amazing; from moody and dark, to vintage and chic, to glam and bright, all the versions of photography you crave for your big day, J covers! We were open to J's eye when it came to moments and he worked seamlessly on our big day--him or his team never felt intrusive to a special moment. The raw emotion of the wedding day was captured so beautifully-we get to relive such a momentous day over and over through his art. He was incredibly professional, was very easy to work with and was so helpful in planning. J has delivered amazing results: 2500 photos for our wedding, which we received in exactly 3 weeks. We received the first short video within 4 weeks of the wedding as well for his photography and videography package. So grateful that we booked with J Roman and would recommend his over and over again!

The whole team on our wedding day was so easy to work with and made us feel like we could just be ourselves in front of the camera. One of our favorite moments of the day was taking sunset photos/videos. It was so fun and relaxing to run around with Natalie and Ricky and try so many fun shots. Our gallery perfectly captures all the moments of our wedding and our video makes me cry every time I watch it! I can't wait to continue to work with Natalie and Ricky for more life events :)

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

Bonnie Drake Photography

  • Serves Dayton, MN

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are SO glad we hired Bonnie for both our engagement & wedding photos! Not only are her pictures gorgeous, fun, and full of natural personality, but she is just a total joy to work with! We were both a little nervous being in front of the camera, but Bonnie made us completely comfortable to be ourselves and made it feel like we were just hangin' with a pal. Our entire family loved her too! She was fun, friendly, respectful, and super great at her job. We all secretly wish we could be friends with Bonnie cause she's one super cool lady and an amazingly skilled photographer! Highly recommend!

Hey there, I’m Eric! Originally from Nebraska, I now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, three dogs, cat, and a bunch of reptile friends. Outdoors is my passion, whether hiking, biking, climbing, or camping, rain or shine. While I love capturing weddings in the heart of the Midwest, I’m always ready to travel across the country for a unique celebration. Elopements, especially, have a special place in my heart—there’s a thrill in capturing those intimate moments, wherever they may be. I've found love in documenting portraits, especially of couples, discovering a certain magic in their connection and the uniqueness of each love story.

Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!

Welcome to my corner of the internet :) I’m a couple’s and wedding photographer based in Minnesota! It is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

Catie made our day so special. She had shot ideas prepared specifically for our venue and captured just the right moments. We asked her to be more “behind the scenes” during the ceremony and reception and I honestly never saw her taking the shots that she got.

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!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Rachel as our wedding photographer! She was willing to accommodate our 2-day schedule, with photos at multiple locations including a courthouse and a brewery, and really listened to our vision for the events. She was great at making us and our guests feel comfortable (and look good) in photos. She’s a kind person and worked well with our other vendors to coordinate timing. We really appreciated that she sent us lots of preview photos quickly. It took a while to get all the final photos but they were worth waiting for, and the keepsake box she sent with our USB was so special. We’d highly recommend hiring Rachel!

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.

We were fortunate to find Ceri as a referral from another photographer and we cannot recommend Ceri's services enough. Not only are our photos incredible but she was kind, compassionate, and kept the day on schedule. My husband and I were worried about family photos since both of us have divorced parents but she has us make a list ahead of time and kept everyone happy and make photos go so fast. We love our photos and are so grateful to have them to treasure forever.

As you stand beside your soulmate on your big day, you will make your most awesome promise yet. A promise to forever with your best friend. I believe that the promise you make on your wedding day deserves to be memorialized in a way that does justice to you story. The images we’ll create will become your first family heirloom. I don't take that responsibility lightly! I’ll be there to capture everything: from the belly laughs in your getting ready room, to the tears in your honey’s eyes when they see you, to your friend’s and family’s hilarious dance moves. I promise to capture it all! Ready to get this party started?! Shoot me a message!

I've worked with Celisia a few times and she is wonderful to see in action! She knows what she is doing, gives great direction to couples (so don't worry about needing to know how to pose!), and is there every step of the way before and on the wedding day. She really gets to know her couples, make them comfortable in front of the camera, and is open to most everything. Celisia really cares about being inclusive, which is refreshing. I'm excited to continue working with her and seeing her business grow! 100% recommend.

We’re here to help. We’ve talked brides down from ledges, helped caterers break down tables, and pinned boutonnieres onto tuxedos. We’ll laugh, bring the fun, and always keep our heads even when something goes wrong. At Studio Veil, we think of ourselves as ducks on water. 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?

As a wedding planner and florist in the Twin Cities wedding industry, I have the opportunity to work with SO MANY photographers. That being said, Royal Hart Studio is always at the top of my list. Anna and Matt are so organized, professional, and FUN. Their editing style is timeless, which is one of my favorite things about them. You'll love looking back on your wedding photos for years and years to come!

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.

Capturing your beautiful & intimate moments is why I do what I do. Whether it's the brush of a hand, a first look, or an inside joke whispered at just the right time... I am constantly seeking to capture those beautiful moments. Those real, stunning and timeless moments that make up YOUR relationship. However, I pride myself on being more than a wedding photographer – As someone who has been an intimate part of over 200 weddings, I vow to be your number one hype woman, your timeline planner, your moment of zen, your personal cleavage taper, your family wrangler, your time pauser, and your memory keeper.

Mycah came down to Chicago to take our engagement pictures – We started at the Chicago Institute of Art, walked the streets to the Chicago theater, and ended on a bridge overlooking the river. These are hands down some of the greatest pictures I have ever had taken of me, and I have had so many people reach out to me asking who the photographer was. Not only is Mycah absolutely brilliant when it comes to photography, and capturing love in a way that is authentic and powerful, but she also has a natural ability to make the entire process so seamless and calm. My fiancé made it very clear before we took pictures that we were going to be doing his 2 least favorite things – PDA, and taking pictures. Yet after the afternoon we spent taking pictures together he was so grateful for the experience, and even rated it a 10/10! I can't say enough about how talented Mycah is, and I would never trust anybody else to take my pictures.

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.

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.

Erin was absolutely wonderful to work with. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her and were blown away by the everything she captured for us. She is professional, yet laid back and fun to work with. She made us feel totally at ease with the process. We opted for a second shooter for our wedding, and we are so glad we did! Erin and Brandon were able to capture so many candid moments from our day, and were so creative with locations and poses for our photos. We cannot speak more highly of Erin and her services, 100/10 would recommend!

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 am an introvert and an extravert in one. I am honest, loyal, creative, committed, passionate, and genuine. I am a simple person with a complex personality. I love the little things in life, from a good latte to the perfect fitting jeans to a bright summer day. Being outside rejuvenates. I am crazy about my family; my husband, and 3 daughters. I love traditions, like the same family vacation every year, but I also can't wait for my next spontaneous girlfriend getaway. If I am not out exploring the world, I enjoy living in the four seasoned state of Minnesota. There are so many adventures to have right in my backyard!

We absolutely love working with Erin! We recommend her to our clients all the time! She is professional, kind, confident, and patient. She is a wedding industry veteran who will help your day go smoothly!

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.

This might surprise you...Prior to photography, I was a professional concert dancer. So I understand what it's like to be in the spotlight. And I understand how to use my training as a dancer to make you look stunning in front of the camera. I know the mechanics of the body and how to pose you to look your best. And on your wedding day, that is exactly how you should feel.

Lauren is so incredibly talented at what she does! I'm a wedding planner and florist, so I have the opportunity to work with many photographers in the area. Lauren is by far one of the best in the industry. We recently worked on a styled shoot together, and she captured our vision and design so perfectly! She is the perfect blend of professional, and easy-going. Do yourself a favor and hire her!!

MY APPROACH IS CREATING NATURAL MOMENTS, BUT REALLY CAPTURING THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN. MY STYLE IS EMOTION-FILLED, RADIANTLY JOYFUL, WARM, AND FULL OF FEELING. You are looking for a photographer that will stand by you as your friend on your wedding day - someone you can trust. You are looking for images that you can show your kids & grandkids someday - images that have a story that goes with them! You are ready to let loose at your session, and be completely yourself. You are ready for an adventure....

Rachel and team was the perfect photographer and I am not just saying that! They made the day so much fun with our wedding party and families and we got the sneak peaks back right away the next week. You can tell she has a ton of experience, she made you feel like you have known each other forever and super comfortable if you are awkward with getting photos taken and just a great person on top of it. Our engagement photos were so beautiful as well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for A photos and a great experience. Thank you Rachel and team! 3

I want to create with you a time capsule: a way to transport you back to your wedding day and how it all felt. I believe photography is the purest form of storytelling. I live for the unrehearsed, beautiful and genuine images. Those filled with pure joy and even tears. I also know how to help you treasure those family photos (your family ROCKS!) and capture all the details that become so precious. Your story is AMAZING and I can't wait to be there to celebrate together!

Laura has captured every part of our wedding journey from the proposal to our engagement photos to our wedding day. She is the sweetest soul and consistently puts out amazing photos. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera but she always made us feel so comfortable. We brought our dog to both our engagement photos and our wedding. He’s not great in front of the camera either but she was able to get some of my favorite shots of both days with him behaving for 30 seconds at a time.

I’VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL FOR 10 YEARS. Yup, crazy I know! I've joined countless couples in their adventures of love. Why? People are my passion. Photography sprouted out of my desire to connect with people and make it known to the world that every human has equal worth and beauty. I dabbled in photojournalism before I fell in love with weddings. When I was in Kenya I had the privilege of documenting a few weddings, and that's when there was a SPARK.

We really enjoyed working with Mariah! She's just so full of love and energy and you can see it through the way she treats her clients. She is never short of creative ideas so if you don't have your own, you're in safe hands! The pictures really tell a story and when you look back through them, it feels like you're re-living your wedding day all over again. You just can't go wrong with Mariah!
