Erica did an outstanding job photographing our wedding earlier this month. We initially reached out to her because we heard she had photographed another wedding at our venue and we are so thankful we did. Her work is amazing and she is so fun to work with. Neither my husband or I enjoy having our picture taken but she made the whole day carefree and fun. She had a schedule for all the photos and everything went smoothly. We even ended up with extra time which allowed us to get some fun night shots in during the reception. I would highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a photographer!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.

Bonnie Drake Photography

  • Serves Ely, MN

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
I've had the pleasure of working with Bonnie several times in the last year with her as my second shooter. She is on time, friendly, and a great person to work with.

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!

Meg assisted a fellow photographer at a wedding where we worked together! It was refreshing to work with her, as she was very friendly and outgoing. She has an amazing eye and wonderful sense of humor! Your in good hands with her! Looking forward to working more events together!!

Hey there, I’m Eric! Originally from Nebraska, I now reside in Minneapolis with my wife, three dogs, cat, and a bunch of reptile friends. Outdoors is my passion, whether hiking, biking, climbing, or camping, rain or shine. While I love capturing weddings in the heart of the Midwest, I’m always ready to travel across the country for a unique celebration. Elopements, especially, have a special place in my heart—there’s a thrill in capturing those intimate moments, wherever they may be. I've found love in documenting portraits, especially of couples, discovering a certain magic in their connection and the uniqueness of each love story.

Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!

With a passion for storytelling, I weave together posed portraits and candid moments, creating a visual narrative that defies traditional portrait photography. Each frame is an invitation to relive the most intimate and cherished moments of your life. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to authenticity. I strive to go beyond the surface, capturing the genuine emotions that make each story unique.

Madison and I met when she hired me to do her wedding flowers but since then we have worked together as collaborators on several wedding projects! She is sweet, funny, kind and wonderful at creating and sticking to realistic timelines. She captures the day as it really is and doesn't make you do corny poses or funny prompts like some other wedding photographers. Her style is dreamy fun vintage and she often brings several cameras so that you can have some photos that are digital as well as film. I am very excited to see that she is leaving her day job and spending time doing what she was meant to do, being a creative!

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.

Not only have I worked weddings with Jessica in the past, but I hired her to shoot my wedding this past September, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I think that alone says a lot, but Jessica is a pure wizard when it comes to photography. Her skills at capturing all the candid moments with friends and family is impeccable, and she really allows space for your individuality as a couple to shine through (as opposed to canned pose after canned pose). I don't know how she made our photos look like pieces of art in addition to capturing the essence of our relationship, but like I said, she's magic.

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.

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

I’m Colby (he/him), your local neighborhood dog parent/beer lover/former mascot/barbershop singer/wedding and elopement photographer. My love language is shouting compliments at you. I love people and hate crowds. I prefer long hikes in the mountains to ones on the beach, but both are better than sitting at home. I really, really don’t like having my photo taken - and if we have that in common, we might work really well together.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot put into words how perfectly Colby Campbell Photography made our special day. From day one we knew that Colby was going to be amazing to work with and that we had found the photographer to bring our wedding day to life and he did just that! The quality is top-notch and his passion shows through his work. I often go back and look through our photos from our wedding and I am in awe of how every moment was captured so perfectly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer for any type of event as they will bring joy, fun, and help you capture memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you Colby Campbell Photography!

MY APPROACH IS CREATING NATURAL MOMENTS, BUT REALLY CAPTURING THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN. MY STYLE IS EMOTION-FILLED, RADIANTLY JOYFUL, WARM, AND FULL OF FEELING. You are looking for a photographer that will stand by you as your friend on your wedding day - someone you can trust. You are looking for images that you can show your kids & grandkids someday - images that have a story that goes with them! You are ready to let loose at your session, and be completely yourself. You are ready for an adventure....

Rachel and team was the perfect photographer and I am not just saying that! They made the day so much fun with our wedding party and families and we got the sneak peaks back right away the next week. You can tell she has a ton of experience, she made you feel like you have known each other forever and super comfortable if you are awkward with getting photos taken and just a great person on top of it. Our engagement photos were so beautiful as well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for A photos and a great experience. Thank you Rachel and team! 3

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 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!!!

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

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’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). 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!
