​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

Kate is truly an exceptional wedding photographer/ videographer. Her communication style is respectful, empathetic, and she is an active listener, ensuring she understood our vision. The quality of her work and value is unparalleled - she is reliable, creative, and genuinely cares about capturing the emotion and excitement of our special day. Kate beautifully documented every moment, from the vows to the dance floor, allowing us to relive the day as if it were happening all over again. I have used Kate not only for our wedding videography, but also for other important life events like our engagement, gender reveal, and family photos. Her attention to detail and ability to preserve precious memories is truly remarkable.

I am a believer in the beauty of storytelling and sharing our history with future generations, which is why I am drawn to wedding photography! Wedding days allow a couple to create a magical environment filled with personal touches and to share their love with the people who are most important in their lives - I love that I am able to help document and share each unique love story for them to cherish in the years to come!

I'm a wedding planner who worked with with Amy a few weeks ago at a wedding and she was so amazing to work with!! Leading up to the wedding day she was super responsive on emails and informing us of any changes to the timeline or the weather plan. The day of the wedding, she kept the energy up & alive even though it was raining- and was just overall so great to work with. Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer!! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events

Welcome to a world of modern romance and timeless elegance, where tales of both the young and old are beautifully captured. A picture is worth a thousand words - I'm inspired by the charm of old films reimagined in the present, I weave the old into the new with the timeless elegance and meaning.

Irina with Irina Partyka Photography is an absolute gem, both as a photographer and as a person. She exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding photos, capturing moments and emotions that we’ll cherish forever. Her vision and attention to detail were beyond what we hoped for, and it's clear she is passionate about her work. Not only did she take our engagement photos, but we’ve also gained a lifelong photographer—and a true friend. She’s incredibly detail-oriented, guiding us with how to pose, angle our heads, and position our arms, making sure we always looked our best. Our entire bridal party loved working with her and appreciated her direction. If you're looking for a photographer with a modern, romantic, classy and elegant style, Irina is your go-to!

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!

We had an amazing experience working with Celisia! We have received endless compliments on our gorgeous photo gallery, and Celisia was extremely helpful with putting together a day-of timeline to guide our planning process. Photography was the most important piece for us after picking our venue, and Celisia worked with us to find a package within our budget. My husband and I both have large families, and Celisia very kindly and efficiently was able to give clear guidance for all pictures we requested. She fully captured the story and joy of each part of our day. I would recommend working with Celisia to anyone looking for a wedding photographer-she is phenomenal!

Studio Veil - Photography

  • Serves Dayton, MN

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?

I have worked with Chris a handful of times in the last 2 years. He has a great energy, positivity, and good vibes! He really makes it special for the couples and their families. He makes sure to get all the photos the couples request as well as his own creative photos to make it more special. He’s detail oriented and makes sure that everything is perfect and special.

I’m a wedding photographer located in Minneapolis serving modern and chic couples across the state, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. I am inspired by art, architecture, and European design giving her wedding collections a timeless look in the Midwest.

Gretchen was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding celebration. She is so kind, made you feel so comfortable and at ease during every shoot! She makes you feel so special and absolutely not judged at all. Communication throughout the whole process was transparent and very professional as well! As someone who needs reassurance throughout the way, Gretchen made me feel at ease. I've never worked with a kinder person and the photo delivery was better than we expected. We are so glad she was the one to capture our forever pictures. She's the kindest human to trust during your most special moment!
