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.

Your life is full of exciting moments—and I’m here to capture them all. As a professional photographer in Minnesota, I’ve worked with countless couples, families, professionals, and graduates to document their lives’ most precious memories, from weddings and engagements to senior headshots and family portraits. Regardless of the occasion, clients appreciate my distinct perspective and dedication to perfection. My goal is always to capture the unique quality and personality of every individual, couple, or family that I photograph.

I would recommend Joe to anyone that is looking for a compassionate, thoughtful, and caring Photographer. I would almost call him family. He was always a phone call away with an answer when I had a question. He made our day extra special. With all his thoughtfulness and after the wedding service he offered, He set aside a day to go over our photos and showed some really cool ideas we could do with our photos, and he was very affordable. I will hire Joe when I have maternity photos done.

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

Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a wedding, portraits, and events photographer based in Minneapolis. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012, and have experience photographing over 300 weddings – not one has ever felt like work. I think I have the best job in the world. My approach is to capture the story of your wedding day, from start to finish. Because no two couples (or weddings) are exactly alike, I customize my approach specific to you. From the moment we connect, it’s my goal to help you feel at-ease. I'll help you plan your day, work with you to find the best locations for photos, guide you through poses, and we'll make it fun!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Rachel as our wedding photographer! She was willing to accommodate our 2-day schedule, with photos at multiple locations including a courthouse and a brewery, and really listened to our vision for the events. She was great at making us and our guests feel comfortable (and look good) in photos. She’s a kind person and worked well with our other vendors to coordinate timing. We really appreciated that she sent us lots of preview photos quickly. It took a while to get all the final photos but they were worth waiting for, and the keepsake box she sent with our USB was so special. We’d highly recommend hiring Rachel!

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.

There are not enough words to express how grateful we are that Emilee and Dan were a part of our wedding day. When searching for vendors to work with, my goal was to find people who would support a calm, grounded, flexible wedding day. With Emilee I hit the absolute jackpot. Her and Dan took the time to get to know us, to understand our values, personality and vision to collaborate on capturing a deeply personal experience. My husband and I are not fans of stiff, posed or inorganic photos on our wedding day, but instead wanted to capture who we are and our community. Emilee's approach did exactly that. She is flexible, willing to pivot at any moment and had amazing ideas from the start of our engagement shoot. Neither my husband and I are very comfortable being photographed and she immediately put us at ease. Emilee QUICKLY sent us 30 photos from our wedding as a sneak preview of our gallery and we instantly fell in love with every single one. We had so many friends reach out to us telling us how much they loved our photos and several people asked how they could reach Emilee for their own wedding day! We cannot wait to see our whole gallery. Please book Emilee you will not be disappointed!

I love to see people inspired to get outdoors, explore and have adventures because they have seen my photographs. My wishes are to inspire YOU and capture photographs that describe you.

It was a pleasure to work with Cassandra for our wedding. Her communication style was flexible and she always answered our questions promptly. The quality of her work was outstanding - she was professional and flexible throughout the process. Cassandra was calm, patience, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even though our engagement session was our first professional photo shoot together. She was amazing at capturing the special moments of our wedding day, and we loved the amazing engagement and wedding photos she delivered, which arrived earlier than expected. We highly recommend her!

Hey there and happy engagement! You deserve to be completely present on your wedding day and know that all of the special moments and details of your day are preserved gracefully and efficiently. I'm a fun-loving, wife and mother of 2 crazy cute boys. I have been taking photos since 2009, but I officially launched my business in 2018 and never looked back! I dedicate several weeks each year furthering my skill set and education in regards to all things photography. Whether it's editing retreats, or online courses, I'm constantly adding to my knowledge and skillset to deliver the best quality and experience to my families and couples.

Erica made our wedding day super easy. We started the process about 8-9 months before the wedding, and she gave us plenty of time to plan out our photo ideas. We also had a blast with the engagement photos. She gave us everything we needed to prepare. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet Erica when she did the photos for my sisters wedding, and they highly recommended her too. Everyone had fun taking being in pictures and we are excited to take more family photos with Erica in the future!
