Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

Loui Photography LLC / Loui + Co 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Dayton, MN

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

Your day should tell your unique story, and that will only happen if you feel comfortable being yourself! Starting with your complimentary engagement session, we'll work together to make sure you feel confident and relaxed, and most importantly HAVE FUN! Happiness looks amazing on everyone, and my style is centered around just that. If you're looking for joyful, genuine images that are as unique as you are, then you've come to the right place!

I first connect with Hilary when I hired her as my second shooter for a 10 hour wedding last September. She impressed me with her professionalism, attention to detail, and her overall fun personality during the wedding. Her amazing experience as a second shooter will absolutely carry through at her own weddings! She truly cares for the couples she works with and has a deep passion for creating stunning work and an unforgettable experience. After reviewing all the images she captured from the wedding we had together I was blown away by her incredible eye and ability to capture unique and amazing angles. She brought a whole new perspective to the day that showcase the love and joy of it all! I’m definitely stealing her for 2024 weddings! She is AMAZING

I've been photographing weddings and love stories for ten years and have captured 200+ wedding days. After photographing my very first wedding for a dear friend, I couldn't believe how much I LOVED photographing wedding days. To tell each couple's completely unique and beautiful love story from behind my camera...there is no greater honor and joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
First, I am SO incredibly happy I went with Winterlyn to capture my wedding day! As soon as she got to the venue, she went to work and did not stop until she left for the night. I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY! I wanted light, airy, magical pictures, and she delivered beyond my wildest dreams (and I only have seen the sneak peaks). Between the detail pictures, portraits, groups, ceremony and reception, Winter sure knows how to capture the magic of a wedding. If you are looking for a photographer, Winterlyn is hands down the best! Thank you for everything Winterlyn!

We’re Dan and Alisha Amundsen, a husband and wife photography team from Ham Lake, MN. We met in 2007, and have been happily married since 2015. We enjoy traveling, home improvement projects, and parenting (most days!). We both have a background in digital media and photography, and started getting more serious about photography when we had our daughter in 2018. We got such great feedback about our photo work with our own daughter, and we wanted to help our friends and family capture memories and milestones. From there, Bella Cattura was born. In late 2019, we started shooting weddings, and found our ultimate passion in capturing love!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Bella Cattura for wedding photos and video! We absolutely loved the way our photos turned out and the video was amazing! Dan and Alycia were so great to work with (even during a pandemic) and very laid back but also kept the photos moving and planned ahead to ensure things went smoothly. I would definitely recommend Bella Cattura!

Hi there, I'm Emily! Your personal cheerleader & storyteller behind the camera lens. I'm a creative, goofy, easy-going girl that loves working with passionate, fun couples! I believe that every love story is unique and deserves to be told in an authentic way that captures the true essence of your relationship.

I'm excited to work with you to capture the candid, emotional moments between you and your loved ones that you can cherish for years to come. 

I highly, HIGHLY recommend Emily Doane Photography for your next photoshoot or wedding. Her work is truly top notch and well worth the investment. Her photos are candid, clear, and true to color, and communicating with her was easy and always prompt. On the day of the wedding, Emily had a great mix of candid moments and fun poses for us to do in front of the camera to truly capture the love between my husband and I. She made it so easy to just be a bride! Her second shooter was on her game too and was incredibly helpful as well. So many dress fluffs and small details never went unchecked.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

Caleb was fantastic to work with. From the very beginning, he had excellent communication(from the time we booked him for our wedding.) Caleb made sure to touch base constantly to make sure everything was going good, and to see if we needed anything from him, and to send him any photo ideas we had. He was punctual to the wedding, and his professionalism and laid back style, was perfect for us and our wedding. By the time we got home from our wedding reception, he had already sent us some edited photos. Caleb’s editing style also matches the look we were after. He always had pose suggestions for us, constant ideas for how to take group shots large or small. He made us, our family and our wedding guests VERY comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Caleb for your wedding, or any event.

I am a Duluth, Minnesota wedding and engagement photographer and I travel all throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin photographing weddings! I am for the couples who are wildly in love, who have a little adventure in their hearts, and who are crazy about unposed, authentic photographs that they will look back on for eternity.

Ashlyn was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style is warm and responsive - she was always quick to answer any questions we had leading up to the big day and helped put us at ease. The quality of Ashlyn's work is just beautiful. She has an eye for capturing emotional, passionate moments and every photo has a peaceful, calming feel to it. On the wedding day itself, Ashlyn posed us perfectly, calmed our nerves when things got hectic, and was by our side for every important moment. She's a breath of fresh air and has a way of making you feel comfortable and relaxed even as the craziness swirls around you! Ultimately the photos turned out exactly as we had envisioned thanks to Ashlyn's flexibility with our timeline and desired photo locations.

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cross Lake Media went above and beyond to make our entire engagement seamless. Meredith highlighted our interests during engagement pictures. She met with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything was in order. Her and Shawna kept us on our schedule on the wedding day. Her editing is phenomenal. She lets the natural beauty shine, while adding her artistic style to each picture. She cared for us as a couple, not as “Just another client.” 10/10 recommend!

Hello and welcome! My name is Lindsay and I am a Saint Paul based photographer. My style is a mix of candid, photojournalistic, traditional and artistic. With those techniques in mind, I do my best to tell your story. I believe every story and individual is unique, and therefore should be captured that way.

Lindsay is one of the very best Photographers I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I absolutely loved the way her images come out especially her thought and consideration to the angels for makeup to color adjustments to the way the makeup appears. Often it can be so altered it does not look like the makeup I did and can be tough to navigate. Her work is so clean, fresh and approachable! Loved the fact that she shared the work with me and we have now been able to build a connection to collaborate and assist more brides together!

Specializing in weddings, events, & portraits, I provide a personalized approach to each client, ensuring their vision is at the heart of every session.

Our planners recommended our GeeQ Photos, and I’m so glad they did. From our first initial meeting with George, everything was so well organized and seamless. He communicated the expected timeline and requirements so clearly, and he definitely delivered. During our wedding weekend, he had a clear vision of how our photos should turn out, and he made sure to capture the perfect shots. George is very detail-oriented and ensured that every moment was beautifully captured. He and his team got along with my family and friends wonderfully, and everyone was impressed with his professionalism. After our wedding, he communicated the timeline for delivering the final photos and met the deadline as promised. The photos came out absolutely stunning and everyone is so impressed with his work. We would highly recommend George and GeeQ Photos team again and again. They were amazing, and I pray God continues to elevate his business to greater heights.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Jason was recommended to me by a family member, and to this day, I'm so grateful. Jason was so quick with communication. He responded and asked for details from the very beginning. He was easy to talk to. We ended up booking him for our engagement photos AND our wedding photos. Our engagement photo session was seamless. Jason was easy to work with and he made my (now) husband and I feel so comfortable. Photo sessions do NOT have to be awkward with Jason. He recommended the LA Arboretum and the Pasadena City Hall for our shoot and we couldn't have asked for any better location. Jason knew exactly where to go and what to do. When it came time for our wedding day, Jason and Mae (his second) were so nice. They did not rush us for any photoshoot. He had us take our time, take breathers, and helped us stress about one less thing during the day. We just got our photos back and they are downright GORGEOUS. I could not believe these were us. I am still amazed by it all. The turnover time was so quick as well. Again, communication was so easy with him. I HIGHLY recommend Jason as a photographer. We could not have asked for anyone better.

I love a good love story. There’s nothing I enjoy more than photographing the kind of love that sets the soul on fire. Or capturing the excitement that comes from saying ‘yes’ to forever with your best friend. I’m empowered by the couples who are passionate about life but don’t take it too seriously. The ones who crave adventure and aren’t afraid to blaze their own trail. Who value connection and intentional conversation while making the time and space in their relationship to grow in love and as individuals.

Emily - and her husband, Dan - are an absolute joy to work! They put as much effort into trying to be helpful, and to be a friend to you, as they do into getting incredible photos. They’re easy to communicate with, fun to be around, as professional as they come, more creative than you can imagine, and the end product will leave you breathless!

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

I never saw myself having a wedding. Never imagined the venue, the flowers, or the centerpieces. Never had any ideas about what my hair would look like or the dress I would wear. One night I was sitting with my mom and she said “I see you getting married on a beach somewhere, with just a few friends. Then afterwards we have a bonfire and music, and we laugh all night.” It’s like she was living in my brain- that felt so right to me- and I had never seen a wedding like that. I didn’t know that kind of thing was allowed? From then on that’s the only way I’ve pictured my wedding to be one day. That’s what I want to help my couples find.

We highly recommend Lily and her work is amazing! She took our engagement photos and then our wedding photos on a rainy day and they turned out so good. I have received so many compliments on my photos and we aren't sure how they turned out so incredible in the rain, but she is magic! If you are looking for a fun time and moody, earthy photos Lily is your girl! She is incredibly talented and won't let you down.

Morey Lindquist Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Dayton, MN

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey and Miriam were fantastic to have as first and second shooters on our wedding day. Both my husband and I have large extended families, and our goal was to use the occasion to get everyone together for group photos (pre-COVID). It was a huge hassle, and took FOREVER to get everyone in the right spot but Morey didn't settle for less than great shot (even when people were goofing around and being difficult). Our sunset hour session was amazing. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera, so I was so thankful we got to work with a photographer who is chill but decisive and who captured some really beautiful moments for us.
