Shawnee Custalow Studios

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Dayton, MN

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,700
  • Serves Dayton, MN

Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a wedding photographer located in Wisconsin (but traveling anywhere!). I believe photography is a way to return to moments otherwise passed. It's a way to freeze time, emotions, and memories. I started my business at a young age, and have loved every second of it! Through ups and downs, photography has always been my passion, and I truly believe I have the best job in the world. When I'm not taking photos or editing at my computer, you will find me hanging with my husband, binging a 90's sitcom, reading Harry Potter for the 100th time, playing with my two cats, or caring for my very many plants!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Savannah at over 10 weddings together and she is an amazing photographer to work with as a videographer. She brings the fun energy that you need to wedding day photos while still being in control and getting what needs to be done, done! She even photographed my wedding and I recommend her to all of my clients! There is no way that you would ever regret having Savannah as your photographer- She might just be the best decision you’ll make for your wedding day

Hey there, I'm Bethany. I love meeting people, celebrating people, and making people feel awesome. My photography is all about authenticity and a sense of adventure! I'm a love-obsessed individual whose passion and joy come from telling visual stories. I use a natural approach to photograph every smile, tear, and embrace shared on your special day. I believe that by being unobtrusive I can capture moments that aren’t staged, and are full of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn't be happier with our photos from Bethany! Not only did she bring wonderful energy to our day, but she managed to get every photo we hoped for on our list and more. On a day that could have been stressful and overwhelming, Bethany was a positive and focused presence, and made all of our family and friends super comfortable. We knew we loved Bethany's Kodak-inspired aesthetic, and were so excited when we got our gallery full of timeless, romantic, and beautiful photos. She also turned around a mini gallery for us right away, so we could share highlights with those who couldn't be there on the day. We recommend Bethany to all the engaged couples we know, because she's not only a talented photographer, but someone who really cares about capturing the memories of your special day.

Christina Naselli Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Dayton, MN

I'm a Minnesota-Based Wedding and Boudoir Photographer and believe in documenting the moments that matter most to you. Most days you can find me hanging with my three boys in yoga pants and my favorite baseball hat. And, of course, sipping my creamer with a slash of coffee. I’m not a girly girl, I don’t do the color pink, and can’t braid for the life of me - hence why God blessed me with boys. It’s those boys who are the heart behind my business.

Christina Naselli was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was clear, kind, flexible, fun and respectful throughout the entire planning process, which made her a pleasure to collaborate with. Christina created a thoughtful wedding day timeline for me and was happy to modify it based on my feedback to ensure we were aligned. She also provided incredibly helpful tips and advice and assisted with coordinating my wedding party. On the actual wedding day, Christina kept me calm with her upbeat energy. And most importantly, the quality of her work is stunning - the photos perfectly captured all the special moments of our wedding and we could not be happier. I cannot recommend Christina highly enough!

Hello lovely couples! I am you Midwest wedding photo father of Three! I found photography 6 years ago when We had our first son, after having a video camera in my hand since I was about 14 snowboarding photography naturally was something that hooked me. After shooting my first wedding only a couple years later (in 2017) I put all my eggs in the wedding industry. I love the moments between the moments! All the energy of a wedding day is what I feed off of! I LOVE LOVE!

When I got engaged I had no doubt we would choose Narvold Photography to capture our special day. We even chose our wedding date based on his availability! Nick has worked with 3 generations of my family and has always provided the most beautiful photos. For our wedding specifically, he took mine and my husband's desires for our wedding day and blew them out of the water. He captured everything and everyone so perfectly. Nick's friendly and easy-going personality is one that made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole wedding process. I show off our video and photos any chance I get and recommend Narvold Photography to everyone! His ability to work with each couple to make their personal wedding dreams come true is amazing!!

Michelle Huber Photography

I believe every wedding deserves the absolute best, no matter what the budget. I am fortunate to have been able to work with some of the most wonderful and interesting couples over the 20 plus years that I have been photographing weddings. I am inspired by my couples, and always strive to grow and improve both as an artist and a human being-never stop learning and enjoying life to the fullest!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife, Kristin, and I initially had engagement photos taken in Denver, CO. When Kristin began looking for a wedding photographer, she scoured for the best in Minnesota. The Knot led us to Michelle Huber Photography and her portfolio was spectacular. Fortunately, Michelle was available for our wedding date because her schedule was rapidly filling up. Despite having a set of engagement photos already taken, we could not turn down an opportunity with Michelle. I want to stress that her photography skills and abilities are magnificent. During the engagement photo session, her personality elevated the entire experience. It was as if we were working with an old friend. Michelle kept the experience lighthearted, she was patient when bystanders meandered into the shot, and never once did we feel as if the session was awkward. Needless to say, after the engagement photo session, we were excited to see her on the wedding day. On the actual wedding day, Michelle and her husband, Trent, are consummate professionals. Trent stayed with my groomsmen and myself, while Michelle was with Kristin and her bridesmaids. While Michelle deserves all the praise that she is due, Trent is on an equal plane. He captured wonderful in-the-moment photos and deftly staged everybody when it was necessary. Never once did I feel like he was an intrusion or the experience was inorganic. When the time came from the first look, transition to the ceremony site, and our numerous stops, Michelle and Trent did not miss a beat. The sheer amount of wholesome candid photos demonstrate their professionalism. We are still surprised at the details that we missed when we were in the moment. We are fortunate that Michelle and Trent captured these moments for us. I must recognize Michelle and Trent's flexibility. I am of Chinese-descent and my parents wanted to perform a tea ceremony prior to the actual ceremony. Michelle and Trent graciously made adjustments and captured this important moment for our families to experience. My family is grateful for their willingness to memorialize a family custom that was not highlighted on our itinerary. Overall, our experience with Michelle Huber Photography is phenomenal. My brother-in-law was impressed with the level of professionalism, quality, and skill, so he booked Michelle and Trent as well. Needless to say, I was overjoyed to work with them again. After that, my best friend/groomsman, Brian, also took my recommendation and booked Michelle. Every time I worked with them, the experience continues to raise the level of expectation for other professionals. We pick back up on old conversations and check-in on life changes. I am highly confident that other Minnesota/Midwest-based photography services cannot match Michelle Huber Photography. If you, the purveyor of professional services, want the best, do not hesitate to contact Michelle Huber. All other offerings will only disappoint and you will lament over what could have been with Michelle Huber Photogrphy. At this point, I am running out of marriage-ready friends to recommend but I will continue to shout their praises.

With 10 years of experience, Cassaundra began her photography journey at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire as a Fine Arts student majoring in Photography. During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business. The desert and mountains ignited in her a new passion for photography. After a short stint in LA, Cassaundra now lives in Milwaukee with her eight-year-old daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

My engagement shoot was INCREDIBLE thanks to Cassaundra's vision! We shot at a beautiful Malibu beach during the sunset and she was reassuring, creative, and communicative throughout the process. Our photos were such a hit with my family, that we used her for our wedding and my sister also enlisted her services for her civil ceremony. Cassaundra has become our family photographer!

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for almost 8 years. I was drawn into weddings after shooting my first one and loving how fun it was to hang with people on their best day ever. They're surrounded by their family and friends and so much love and happiness. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I love so much, that it doesn't feel like work. I'm married to my favorite person in the world and we love to travel. We have 3 kids, one son in law and 2 little grand babies that we completely adore!

You don’t know it yet, but you need Julie. She is absolutely amazing. Stop your photographer search here and choose Julie. She makes you feel so comfortable and that you’ve know her for years. Her passion for photography does not go unnoticed. Julie’s photos are of high quality and we absolutely love the natural brightness of her edits, even on gloomy days. Julie was so so easy to contact, was flexible and literally took stress off my plate. I cannot thank her enough. She was a huge part of our big day and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. She’s like a personal attendant and photographer and best friend all in one. You need Julie. We cannot wait to work with her (and her husband and team!) again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

We received a small preview the day after our wedding & are even more in awe of their work now than we were before. 10/10 in every way possible & I wouldn't hesitate to book them for any life event or photoshoot.

I landed my first wedding in Seattle in 1999 somewhat by accident. After a couple loved the portraits I made for them, they asked if I would shoot their wedding. I said yes, but was secretly terrified. Fortunately, my naivety was inadvertently a bonus because I photographed that wedding the same way I photographed news stories: as discreetly as possible and recognizing key moments at the speed they are happening rather than directing the action or creating artificial scenarios. I don't have the preconceived notions of an advertising photographer. I am just as excited to see the final images as you are!

We worked with Bradley in 2017 for our wedding, he is so personable and makes you feel comfortable. He captured images that we will cherish forever and bring back the emotion of the day. They are truly stunning! We are so grateful to have these memories and to have worked with Bradley. Thank you again!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

Father. Husband. Quiet, creative type. I love creating wedding videos because the pure happiness and joy that every couple experiences never gets old. I've always been enamored with capturing raw emotion. That's why I like to joke that I'm a wedding ninja; I like to work in the shadows. I don't do too much set-up or too many poses, because I want you to be you. I also will do everything I can to make sure your wedding day goes flawlessly. I've been known to fasten boutonnieres, hold babies and save ceremonies from audio troubles.

Loved their personalities. Made the experience feel effortless and fun. My husband and I don’t typically love photographs of ourselves and although we haven’t received our final photographs, we got to see some along the way, and let’s just say we can’t wait to see the rest!! We are so glad we decided to use them for our special day.

Hi there- I'm Jessie. A midwest woman on a mission to celebrate and document couples from all over the country as they say “I do” in some of the most incredible nooks, crannies, peaks, valleys, and lakes this world has to offer. I fell head over hiking boots for elopements while traveling with my hubby and our baby in our Airstream. While on our own adventure, we kept stumbling upon wild weddings—deep in the forests, teetering at the tallest points, and every last jaw-dropping location you can imagine. Not just the adventure—but the entire experience of creating a space couples felt seen, heard, valued, loved, and celebrated in.

My husband and I exclusively use Jessie as our photographer for all our biggest milestones. Her talent shines in her photographs. I can’t recommend her enough for her talent, personality and professionalism. We are using her for our maternity photos and she never fails to go above and beyond to capture our vision so I am beyond excited!

Hi, I'm Jenna! I'm a destination wedding and elopement photographer living in Madison, Wisconsin. My approach is artistic and documentary, focusing on candid moments and real emotion which results in non-traditional wedding photographs.

Jenna is AMAZING! She was so easy to work with, and highly professional. My husband and I were drawn to the authenticity of her work, and we are so in love with our engagement and wedding photos! Jenna captured the genuine emotion of our wedding day, without any of the "cheesiness" that can be typical of wedding photos. On our wedding day, Jenna and her second shooter, Cody, were present to capture all our special moments, but it never felt crowded or overwhelming. We're also really glad that we went with the option to have a second shooter. We would highly

I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

Nikki and her sidekick did an amazing job capturing photos of our wedding day from beginning to end. We opted for the 2nd photographer and were so glad we did. That allowed us to get a large volume of pictures from multiple angles. Plus when the wedding party took a photoshoot tour of Minneapolis with Nikki, her partner captured photos of the cocktail hour at the wedding reception. The photos came out beautifully. Nikki also worked super well with our videographer, grabbing complementary shots. We have a great set of candid pics. She also composed tons of fun and creative setups for the bridal party that turned out wonderfully! For Christmas, we took (600) of the best shots and built a photobook for our parents as gifts. They were an instant hit and something we'll treasure forever. We're so glad we went with Nikki and would highly recommend you having her photograph your wedding!

Benjamin and Kelsey met at a coffee house when Kelsey was a cute girl with a camera in hand. Needless to say, they discovered that they had a mutual passion for more than just photography. We are chasers of our next adventure. Whether that be on a windy mountaintop, or in a deep valley for intimate quite moments. We are obsessed with capturing images of our couples that truly resonate with them.

From the moment we first reached out to Boxcar Photography, their communication style was open, supportive and professional. They made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly amazing - their talented team captured so many special candid moments that we didn't even witness ourselves, helping to create lasting memories for everyone in attendance. Boxcar Photography was amazingly supportive throughout our wedding day, keeping everything running smoothly without any pressure. They are an exemplary team of photographers who are truly undervalued for the exceptional service and beautiful work they provide. We couldn't be happier with the photos from our special day.
