Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a wedding is such an incredible time in your life! We are a husband and wife photographer team for weddings, so you'll get twice the laughs while taking photos and the peace of mind knowing we are helping you keep your day on schedule with all your planners! Being married with two kids of our own, we completely understand the craziness of the wedding world. We want to help make everything on your big day as exciting and as magical as you've envisioned since you were a child! We believe that two is better than one.

We could not have had a better photography experience at our wedding! Teagan was our main photographer with her husband as our 2nd photographer. They work so well together and everything ran smoothly. Teagan was fun, friendly, and connected with our group perfectly. We had a bounce house at our wedding and she got right in there take photos in it! We did have issues with our DJ, and Teagan made sure to advocate for us and our schedule to make sure the evening flowed perfectly. We cannot thank her enough for that! We met with her prior to the wedding to finalize details and the schedule, and she made sure to incorporate everything we wanted, even giving suggestions we hadn’t thought about and loved! We love looking back on our photos and cannot thank her enough for how perfect they turned out!

  • Serves Elk River, MN

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Jasmine was AMAZING during our wedding. Not only did she take beautiful pictures, but she also was there with us for the whole process. She was always available to help give us advice for the small details. Jasmine was very professional the day of the wedding. She went above and beyond to capture our perfect day. She is also wildly creative. We ended up taking some gorgeous pictures in an elevator in our venue! I would recommend Jasmine as a photographer any day!

Before venturing out as Ari Reynolds Photography, my job was to do sales and operations for 700 Weddings and Events each year. With each wedding my knowledge and passion continues to grow. My dad would tell me, "Go make a new friend today." and that is exactly what I do with every client. Celebrate with you like you are my best friend! On your wedding day you can trust that I am going to know your wants and wishes, making it so I can help you navigate through the process. Once we have the vision, I make that dream wedding become a reality.

Omg Ari is a life saver. She is without a doubt the only reason our wedding day went smoothly. She knows what she is doing and she helped me with more than I thought a photographer would. That shows how much she cares about making the photos look good for her clients. Also, her personality is amazing. Even this introvert could vibe and not feel uncomfortable. Meaning I know my photos are going to look more natural. 110% recommend.

And everyone who interacted with her at our wedding agreed! She captured all the photos I was hoping for and then found time to grab more that I didn’t think we’d be able to get.

Capturing your story and making your memories last forever is why I love what I do. I get to meet new people and experience their life for a brief moment. Learning about who or what they love. Sharing memories and experiences together.

Alex Rae Photography was a wonderful photographer for our wedding day. Alex was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, always providing clear communication. On the wedding day, Alex was able to go with the flow when needed but also confidently take charge to guide us through portraits. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing all the special moments. Alex made the entire process easy and comfortable. We felt at ease in front the camera and the photos reflect the joy we felt.

My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

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!!!

Hannah Mae and her team were wonderful company to have on our Wedding Day. We completely trusted Hannah and Marie to capture our event. They had scoped out the venue/surrounding park multiple times before our time together, and were prepared to take all the pictures we needed with various friends and family throughout the event at different locations. Her attention to showcasing us (the bride and groom) while capturing the tiniest of details in moments throughout the day continues to be greatly appreciated. Our wedding celebration was a tad untraditional, and from the beginning of our communications, Hannah was very excited and flexible with when/what we needed captured. Many of our family members have loved gifts of printed pictures from our special day; and thanks to Hannah Mae's digital gallery, family and friends near and far are still able to view all of the pictures Hannah and Marie captured on our Wedding Day.

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

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!

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!
