Awarded Best of Zola
Jess was an incredible photographer to work with! She was flexible in creating just the experience my wife and I wanted for our small elopement ceremony at the Minneapolis City Courthouse. We very much appreciated her initial consultation phone call where she listened to what our vision was and encouraged us to reflect on what we actually wanted and how she could help that vision come to life. As someone who is not always comfortable in front of the camera I can't recommend Jess enough - she made the experience fun and easy and it's definitely reflected in our photos! We had general ideas of where we wanted photos taken but completely trusted Jess and let her take the creative lead which made the process very low stress for us and we can't thank her enough for that. We're looking forward to working with Jess again in the future and would whole-heartedly recommend her to any couple looking to have someone capture their special day.

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!!

  • Starts at $3,800

Hello! I'm Erica and I am based in Minnesota and Wisconsin but travel all over! I love fun adventures, traveling to new places, meeting people and learning about their unique experiences - a big part of why I love photography! I specialize in wedding and engagement portraits and love serving my couples!

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Erica’s page via an Instagram search, and I instantly fell in love with the vibrancy and authenticity of her style. Her work speaks for itself—she’s a tremendous artist—but what I hope to attest here is how much MORE you get with Erica. I’m not photogenic and I’m terribly awkward while being photographed. My fiancé and I also have a significant height difference, me being 4 inches taller. All this to say, it’s not easy to make us look good. But Erica put us immediately at ease, giving us perfect cues for posing, making us laugh, and giving genuine compliments to keep us motivated. We had an absolute blast on our engagement shoot finding awesome places in northern Minnesota, taking advantage of the gorgeous fall colors, and feeling like we’d made a great friend in Erica. It was the perfect chance to practice for wedding photos, and having that confidence in Erica made the day go so very smoothly. Nothing was left to chance or overlooked. Erica sent a detailed questionnaire to find out what our priority was for photos and what unique or meaningful touches were special to us. We talked through the whole day via video chat, and the photography timeline was laid out super clearly. Despite being crazy organized and overprepared, Erica is down for anything and great at improvising and adjusting to the needs of the moment, her easygoing personality set the tone for our entire day. She’s just fun to hang out with. She went above and beyond for us, even setting up a video call on a tripod so that my fiancé’s parents could watch our ceremony live from South Africa. And then there’s the actual photos: stunning. I can’t even believe the final product- the bright beautiful colors, the genuine emotion, the perfect timing, and delightful subtleties. She made us look SO good. And she sent a great number of our photos to us within a few days of our wedding, allowing us to share the excitement of the day while it was still fresh. I can’t say enough good things about Erica. I literally turned to my fiancé on our wedding day and said, “aside from agreeing to marry you, choosing Erica was the best decision I’ve made for this wedding.” I stand by that. 10/10 I recommend working with Erica, let her blow your socks off too.

So thankful to have had Adrian capture our favorite day. She provides absolutely stunning work with creativity and magic. We had so many options to pick from; classics, candids, and some amazing out of the box shots that we were blown away by. It also helps that she was such a breeze to work with. We knew exactly what to expect for the day and she kept our crew calm and on track. If there is one vendor from our wedding that I could recommend it would be her. Thank you, Adrian!

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

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500

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 

5.0

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
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!

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. 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.

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...

Minneapolis, MN
  • 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!

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,995

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.

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!

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.

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!

Hello there!! I’m so pumped to meet you!! Honestly, making new friends is the best. Surrounding myself with excitement, love, and happiness is the best career I could ask for. I have been a photographer for 11 years, and specializing in weddings since 2014. I grew up in Minneapolis, but am far from a typical Midwesterner! 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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. The photos of our event are just stunning – they are some of the best photos ever taken of us.

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.

    Well, “used to be” in the sense that it was my profession for many years. After dreaming of being a photographer, and the hard work it took to realize that dream, I found that pursuing a passion as a profession came at a significant cost -- the passion. So I moved on. Though, never really putting my camera down in hopes of preserving that passion. While my path took me away from photography and towards some success in another industry, the years have found me missing the connections and the stories that I took part in as a photographer.

      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!

        Hello, I'm Danielle. Thank you for taking time to look at my work. 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.

        Hi! I'm Mallory. Most days you can find me working from home in yoga pants and a messy bun, running my photography business while navigating through the chaos of parenthood with my two littles. When I’m not busy working, you can catch me at the local coffee shop drive thru with our spunky five-year-old daughter Vera and two-year-old son Landon in the backseat (most likely bargaining for cookies from Starbucks).

        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.

Attending these classes helps me stay on top of the latest trends in the business and allows me to give you the best creative gift I have to offer!

        Kerri was absolutely wonderful to work with! When I first was looking for a photographer no one was hitting the vibe or tone that I was looking for. Then I found Kerri. Kerri was the first one to give me a play by play on what to expect. Kerri made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera during our engagement session and did not push us to change anything for a good photo. Fast forward to our wedding day, Kerri and Erica showed up and killed it! They braved the cold winter wind and got such great shots for us to cherish for years to come. Erica’s attention to detail is wonderful matching and making things look beautiful! Kerri was just awesome the whole day. She knew when and how to quickly take photos when we were outside braving the winter wind. Our final photos were absolutely stunning and matched the vision that I wanted for our wedding pictures. 10/10 would recommend Kerri and Erica for your big day!

Looking back at my pictures throughout the day, I could not have asked for a better team by my side! Sarah & Amber absolutely killed the photos and are two of the biggest hype women I have ever met! Throughout the entire day they were constantly there singing praises and doing anything to get genuine smiles. Andrea was the one I talked to throughout this whole process and she is absolutely amazing! She was very kind and patient with me throughout the process (I can be indecisive and really didn't fully know my editing style) and she made it work and went above and beyond with editing! All three ladies are absolutely amazing and if you need a wedding photographer/videographer - look no further!! These ladies DO NOT disappoint!

        I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. 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. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

        Grace is an amazing photographer! If I could give her 10 stars I absolutely would. She was amazing working with both of our crazy families and from the very beginning I knew that she’d do a great job capturing the special moments of our special day. She worked with everyone and did a great job explaining what everyone needed to do to get a perfect shot. She also was absolutely wonderful with our 2 year old son who would’ve climbed in the car and went home with her if he could. If I could do it all over again I would definitely always pick Grace to shoot our wedding! She was an amazing addition to the day and we are so thankful that we found her.

        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.
