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!!

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
​Wedding planning in general was incredibly daunting to me (as I'm sure it is for many). Scrutinizing over timelines, trying to think of every detail of the day, booking everyone that needs to be booked-- it is nearly impossible to do alone! I was so incredibly thankful that we booked Jess as a photographer, because she did SO much more than just take our (BEAUTIFUL) photos. Jess takes the time to truly get to know the couple through the months leading up to their big day. She is always available for questions regarding any part of planning because she wants to make sure the couple is taking time to savor the entire wedding experience. She ensures that the both partners are calm and free of stress on their wedding day so that they focus on what truly matters- celebrating their love- which absolutely comes through in each photo. I highly recommend doing an engagement session with Jess. My husband and I are not picture people, so taking the time to learn to be comfortable in front of the camera before our wedding was super helpful. Not to mention Jess works incredible magic, where you don't even feel that she is there. Her presence is so calming and encourages you to be authentically yourself, that being in front of camera doesn't feel awkward at all. Looking at other wedding photos I had always thought "Gosh, Ben and I will never be able to do that-- we both overthink EVERYTHING way too much!" But Jess didn't over-pose us or ask us to do anything that didn't feel genuinely us. I am so in love with our engagement and wedding photos- I legitimately look at them every day. Jess captured the gorgeous colors of our day so beautifully. I truly cannot recommend her enough!!!

We booked Trisha for our engagement and wedding photography and we couldn't be happier with the amazing photos she took. My husband and I are not fans of the camera and she made it so easy to be in front of the camera. She took in all of our requests between several first looks, lots of family photos, to having our bridal party pretend to run away from a dragon, with excitement! We are in awe of our photos and we are so happy to have these photos of our big day. 10 out of 10 will be using Trisha for any other photo needs!

Sea Circus Weddings 

5.0

Minneapolis, MN
  • Fine art style

I am driven to capture wedding days in a purposefully artful, poetic, way – softly directing my couples into the most beautiful light and choosing compositions that highlight their love story. It is vital to give couples the time and encouragement to let go and be themselves. Couples wedding photos should feel like art – pieces they will hang on their walls and look at with awe. My work is heavily influenced by the romance and evocative emotion expressed in a ballet which leads me to create photographs that artfully express the feeling of ones wedding day through the play of movement and light.

Awarded Best of Zola
Reyna and her husband, Casey, did an amazing job—we will never regret choosing Sea Circus Weddings to photograph our wedding day!! The choice of lighting and attention to detail was evident throughout our wedding album. Our family and friends were all very impressed with how beautiful everything turned out! :) I have personally known Reyna for many years — she is so talented and one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met! Thank you again, Reyna and Casey, for everything! We are so grateful to have such sweet photos from our big day to cherish forever :) Love, Caylee and Tanner

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.

Josh is the full package! You don't need to worry about a thing with him, he just gets it. He can tell what you value and care about and knows exactly how to capture the moment. He's cool calm and collected, and helps to guide you without making your day feel like a goofy photoshoot. On the lead up to your day, you can expect direct and clear communication. Photos arrived exactly on schedule. Expect lots of compliments from anyone who sees your photos!

Bonnie Drake Photography

Minneapolis, MN
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,100

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
Bonnie documented our wedding Oct '22, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning leading up to the event was timely, clear and simple. Her cool, calm manner made us all feel at ease and the candids that Bonnie grabbed between moments are some of our favorite shots. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of a lens, but we love the way she was able to capture our personalities on camera. We are so grateful to have had Bonnie at our wedding, and would highly recommend her services.

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. We are so pleased with the edits that make our day so magical when looking back.

I am a full-time film photographer and ceramic artist. I bring a calm, intentional, artful lens to whatever medium I am practicing, including wedding photography. I want images to feel a bit undone, honest, and full of life. The images that would be a treasure to find dust covered in a shoe box years and years from now and would tell an honest story of who you were and how you loved.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess was the best decision we made for our wedding day. Her calm energy, belief in a slow process and general kindness were key to making our day the dream that it was. We chose Jess to capture our wedding day because of her ability to create honest, down-to-earth images of moments in time with an artistic and detailed eye. Our images capture the vulnerability and joy that is a wedding day so naturally. Nothing about our images feel forced or cliche. She skillfully captured the spirit of the event and was clear in her understanding that a wedding is about community. We have images of our loved ones that we will treasure forever and are so deeply grateful for spending our day with her. We cannot recommend Jess enough.

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 14+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiropix was a great photographer to work with. We wanted a photographer who was great at candid event shots, and we were very pleased with what Kenny did for us. He requested an initial consult to get to know us and our style, and then a follow-up as the wedding got closer. The day of the wedding everyone was forced to be flexible due to some ill-timed rain/hail, and Kenny was great at getting the families together for portraits between storms. The digital photos were all delivered in an easy user-friendly package. If you are looking for a creative and personable photographer, we recommend Hiropix.

Hi! My name is Jeremy and I'm THRILLED you're here. I am passionate about authentic story telling and believe that more than a just one thousand words, a picture evokes memories, comforts, heals and brings life & joy to people.

We were a little nervous about our wedding and engagement photos before meeting with Jeremy. We are a mixed couple with very different skin tones and wanted to make sure we both looked our best in the pictures. After the first meeting with Jeremy we immediately felt better and became excited about the pictures. Our engagement session was a ton of fun (even though we had freezing rain instead of the expected snow) and he was organized, ready to go and flexible the day of the wedding. He also wasn't obtrusive or in anyone's way (I've seen this at other weddings), but still managed to get all of the important shots plus so many more throughout the day. As for the actual pictures, Jeremy FAR exceeded our expectations. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL and there are so many amazing ones to choose from when printing our wedding album and pictures to hang in our home. Neither of us were washed out and we both seemed to be glowing (not sure how he worked that magic). We are so incredibly happy that we went with Jeremy Lee Photography for our engagement and wedding pictures and would choose him again if we were to plan our wedding a second time.

  • Starts at $4,450

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.

  • Fine art style

When we work together I’ll try to make it feel like you’re talking with an old friend. The spark is always there. You’re able to pick up right where you left off and worry less about making an impression and focus more on taking in what’s right in front of you. As a kid, I grew up in Minnesota and raised in a single-parent household. I’m tender to the prayers of a mother who’s empowered me to do all I can. Such as graduating from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities and being the career-oriented man I am today. For fun, I like to listen to my "Discover Weekly" on Spotify, fly drones, and enjoy a good meal between family and friends.

As the Sales Manager of a luxury venue in Minneapolis, I would recommend Profit to any of my wedding couples. We worked with him for a styled shoot this past summer, and I was very impressed with his professionalism and the quality of his photography. Our space is not the easiest to shoot in, so it requires a very seasoned photographer with advanced skills to capture the venue in a good light. Profit delivered an incredible gallery and I would continue to recommend him to future couples!

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 have professionally done photography for six years now and I’m so glad to call it my job! I love finding things in a whole new way and finding the beauty in everything. I love capturing all the special moments in peoples lives. I truly think it’s so special when you invite me into something so big and special in your lives that we can forever capture in time for you.

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!

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.

Ceri is, simply put, one of the best in the business, and she is sure to make your day a success! Her skills anticipating the needs of everyone involved at the wedding and her ability to pivot are astounding on their own, but when paired with her strengths in capturing moments you didn't even know you needed, well, she's out of this world! I highly recommend anyone to work with Ceri if they are looking to have a great time, an efficient process, and someone to make you feel comfortable and outright amazing!

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.

I have a degree in Sociology and Anthropology, so I genuinely am fascinated not only by your love story, but also your background, profession, and daily whereabouts!

If you're looking for someone who will creatively capture every single detail and moment, as well as every candid smile, laugh and tear on your wedding day, Athena of Empiria Studios is your gal! We absolutely LOVED having Athena as our wedding photographer. Not only does her work speak for itself, but her upbeat/positive attitude, spunk and calming nature truly did wonders to all of our nerves and excitement the day of and prior to. On top of her awesome personality, Athena is very proactive, organized and adaptable, and she made the entire planning experience such a breeze (even during COVID!). We were super impressed with the timeliness of our several sneak peaks, and also, how prompt she got us our entire wedding album! Athena was a true joy to work with and get to know, and we look forward to having her capture future moments/occasions. Now go check out her website, view her work and hire her - that’s exactly what we did - I promise you won’t regret it!

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.

She is never short of creative ideas so if you don't have your own, you're in safe hands!

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

She was so easy to work with, offering suggestions and creating fun moments with our group. Bethany also photographed our reception, and did a fantastic job spotlighting our guests and the energy of the evening. We appreciated Bethany’s professionalism and skill.

I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

This is long because we can’t figure out how to describe how amazing Vick is- If you’re searching for a photographer who is a true artist, will make you laugh, help you remember to take a breath and savor the little moments, aid in corralling your family (including the furry kind of family members) and friends, and go above and beyond in every way to help the wedding process proceed seamlessly seriously stop searching. Andrew Vick is the real deal. He made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and did so much for our wedding aside from taking beautiful pictures. He helped everyone coordinate, fixed dresses, captured all the moments we wanted, and especially the ones we didn’t know we would look back at and absolutely treasure. It has taken us a long time to try and write a review that will accurately describe his incredible work, and what a wonderful person he is. This review still doesn’t do him justice. Words can’t describe how amazing our experience with him was.

I humbly accepted their offer, making it clear to them that I've never photographed a wedding before. I wasn't even sure wedding photographer was a path I wanted to go down, but after that first wedding, I was certain I had to shoot more. And the more I shoot over the years, the deeper in love I fall. Without a doubt in my mind, capturing couples love stories is one of my greatest passions in life.

      Photography literally means “writing with light.” So above all, my job is to tell a story. Your story. And your story is best told when you are being you. Therefore, photography needs to be about capturing what’s there; the things that are easily seen, and things that may not initially be seen. I want to capture the natural, candid moments; life as it happens. Friends, family, loved ones- in laughter, and in tears. I prefer to capture things naturally, but I feel more than comfortable creating moments when necessary. I always strive to give my clients a strong variety of pictures they can choose from.

        I want to capture the real, authentic beauty you both share. The kind of beauty that comes from inside jokes only you two understand, or the romantic gestures you make when you forget the camera is there. Together, we’ll eternalize your favorite chapter of your grand love story: trading “I Do”s and becoming (travel) partners for life. If going out into the world without a map or a plan and coming back with a gallery of unique images that represent you sounds like a dream come true, you just met your match.

        My style can best be described as light, natural, organic, and airy yet also bright and vibrant. Lifestyle photography is my favorite. I enjoy feeling the emotions that my work has evoked after it is finished. That is why most of my work does not involve posing. Sessions with me are casual, relaxed and fun. It is in these moments, when my subjects are simply being themselves, that I can capture such raw and beautiful emotion. Combine these authentic sessions with my love of light and you are left with photos you will want to keep forever.

        I'm a 20-something gal married to a guy who makes me laugh until I snort. My pups bring me so much joy. There's few things I love more than the sounds of water hitting the shore. I consider myself a Minnesotan, but I'll always call Iowa home. 10 years in the city has taught me a thing or two about resiliency, independence, and who I want to be when I grow up. You can usually find me reading a book in my hammock or laughing over whiskey with someone I love. I believe in doughnuts for every celebration, that big earrings compliment every outfit, that music has the power to transport us, and, most of all, I believe in myself!

I pour my heart and soul into photography, and when you get the chance to view it, I feel like you are getting to know me on a personal level. Ten years ago, while living in upstate New York, I bought my first professional camera. I took every free moment to learn from experts and grow my skills. I soon discovered I had a natural way of engaging with people and taking photographs. I moved to the Twin Cities and in 2015 became a full time photographer.

        I love the outdoors and exploring new places. I'm inspired by raw emotions and the moments in between, by couples crazy in love, by the love that fills my heart with my fiance, Rob, and our own love for each other, and the moments that make relationships amazing. I love pickles and snacking on them like they're going out of style. Reruns of The Office are constantly playing in the background. Bare feet + summer sunshine are my favorite.

I've been shooting for years, many of them in NYC where I was lucky to learn from some of the greatest fashion shooters in the city and later, worked as a fashion photographer. With fashion photography in my background I shoot weddings and portraits with modern, fresh and organic style. With a good mix of direction and spontaneity, I make sure we go beyond the traditional to create images that are intimate, personal and fun.

        Evians Photography has great package deals! Now, in terms of communications, Evians is very straight-to-the-book and corporate. But the company compensates with good customer service, videography services, and videography team for sure. Our wedding was on 3.11.22 and while when we asked for a Spanish-speaking videographer months in advance, they said they’ll do their best, but it wasn’t a guarantee. Fair. While they didn’t meet our request, they made up for it with matching us up with George O. — a fantastic videographer. From the moment he showed up, he was all smiles, high energy, great personality, passionate, and kind. He showed us some sneak peeks of the 360 degree angle shots and they were amazing. Any time we had a question about our invoice or service, customer service was also there to find a solution — before and after our wedding. We are looking forward to seeing the finished product ( a reel and a portrait for free, in addition to our 30-min video). We recommend Evians for their high-level team and solution-based communications! Much thanks to George O. and Dughan J. for their immense help. So excited for our products! -Dynahlee & Joseph

I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos.

        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.

        We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

        We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!
