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!

Erica Johanna Photography

Hello! I'm Erica and I am based in Minnesota but travel all over! I love fun adventures, traveling to new places, meeting people and learning about their unique experiences - a big part of why I love photography! I specialize in wedding and engagement portraits and love working with my couples throughout the whole wedding planning process.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the most wonderful wedding experience. Working with Erica from the beginning I knew she had it all taken care of. Starting off with price, she had multiple packages for all different needs and budgets. Our package included the engagement session which was a great lead into what the wedding day would be like. Erica never rushed or pushed us to do things we didn’t want to do. She was very considerate of what we wanted as well as knowing what we didn’t know we wanted! We received our engagement photos back in record time which was very helpful with sending invites out and such. The wedding day was smooth sailing. Erica arrived early and got right to work, she new exactly what she needed to get done to stay on time. I really appreciated her attention to time as well as her calming presence, I think that’s why I stayed calm too. There was nothing distracting during the ceremony, Erica and her partner were sneaky and quiet during the whole thing which I also appreciated looking back because I’ve been to weddings where the photographer sort of steals the show with distractions. As far as the rest of the day Erica knew exactly what photos had to be done and kept us on track, if not ahead of schedule! We had plans to greet all the guests at their tables and get a picture but it didn’t work out as I thought it would so Erica quickly solved the problem and had us take a group photo with ALL 200 guests and got the most awesome photo that we will remember forever. I would recommend Erica Johanna photography to anyone looking. Do you want someone organized? Done. Do you want someone with a calm demeanor? Done. Do you want someone with extreme talent for getting the most beautiful photos? Done! She does it all and I couldn’t be more happy with my choice to have her for my wedding

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.

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

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 found Bonnie on Instagram and fell in love with her photograph style. She was wonderful for our engagement photos, and we are so excited to see the rest of our wedding photos. She was able to drive several hours to meet us, since our venue wasn't in her home base, for an additional reasonable charge. She was kind and fun, putting us at ease while getting our photos taken (we are not used to it at all!). She even helped us incorporate some of our ideas about playing games and reading books during our photoshoot and was very encouraging and accommodating. She made sure our photos didn't look posed, and captured many genuine laughs and smiles. Her photos are warm and colorful, without washed out skies or whites. We highly recommend Bonnie if you are looking for a photographer!

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!

Heather Hanson Wedding Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,650
  • Serves Ely, MN

My art is dedicated to capturing genuine, raw human emotion through playful and experimental photography. With a background in photojournalism and 14+ years of experience photographing couples, she tells the story of both the wedding day and the couple in a unique combination of candids, details, and portraits.

Finding a photographer who clicks with your family is a game-changer, and we hit the jackpot! Her bubbly personality lit up the room, making everyone, especially my toddler, feel like they were part of a fun playdate rather than a photo session. It’s not just her warm vibe but her exceptional talent that captured our moments so beautifully, making each photo a treasure. Working with her was a breeze; she’s accommodating, genuinely caring, and has an amazing eye for capturing life’s little wonders. If you’re looking for fun and stunning photos, she’s your go-to.
