We're Natalie & Ricky - a husband and wife power team offering photo and video since 2013. We are a fine art, film inspired luxury wedding photographer and videographer located in Minneapolis, MN but available for travel across the country. We are Jesus followers, parents to 4 kids, and are crazy about watching The Amazing Race.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can't recommend Natalie and Ricky enough!! We started working with Lollipop Media MN 2 years before our wedding doing family shoots, sunflower photos, and our engagement session. Every single session I get more blown away by the results. The photos are BEAUTIFUL and I love Natalie's style of bright, natural and authentic pictures. The whole team on our wedding day was so easy to work with and made us feel like we could just be ourselves in front of the camera. One of our favorite moments of the day was taking sunset photos/videos. It was so fun and relaxing to run around with Natalie and Ricky and try so many fun shots. Our gallery perfectly captures all the moments of our wedding and our video makes me cry every time I watch it! I can't wait to continue to work with Natalie and Ricky for more life events :)

Mak was everything we could have hoped for as a wedding photographer. Since the moment we had a consultation, she was nothing but friendly and honest. She made my husband, who is extremely camera shy, feel comfortable in front of the camera and offered so many poses for us. Not to mention the quality of our gallery!! As someone who gets overwhelmed with major decision making, I can say with upmost confidence that Mak was the best and easiest decision as a vendor for our wedding, and I would choose her again and again!! This is your sign to book with her!!

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

I was lucky enough to have Manai photograph our special day this past July. Most of the wedding was a whirlwind, so I am so grateful to have such beautiful photos of our day to look back on. Manai was great to work with and captured the day in such a beautiful way. Even better than my wedding Pinterest board could have imagined!! I am not used to taking photos so I was pretty nervous at first but he had me laughing and put me at ease in no time. Photography is such an important part of your wedding day, and you want to make sure you pick someone great. That person is Manai!! You won’t be disappointed! Manai is such a professional and talented photographer. All my photos look like they belong in a magazine. They all came out so well. I have the most beautiful photos of not only me and my husband, but our friends and family having a great time. Thank you so much for capturing the most important day of our lives. I even have a photo of me running to get margaritas post ceremony!! He didn’t miss a thing! If you are looking for the perfect person to capture your special day, this is your sign!! Just look at these stunning photos. He is the best!!!

Heads up, we will be friends! I know the value of memories that photographs carry, so I am all in with you from the beginning.

We had the best experience working with Megan for our engagement and wedding shoot. She made us feel at ease and comfortable, especially as a couple who’s not used to being in front of the camera. Once we saw our engagement shoot pictures, I knew we had made the right decision in selecting someone to capture our special day! Megan helped us develop a timeline and prioritize elements and details of our wedding that were most important for us to capture. Our whole wedding day, I felt very comfortable and confident- I knew Megan understood our vision. She was very accommodating, making sure to capture what was important to us. Again, she made being in front of the camera feel effortless. I am blown away with the sneak peek pictures we got back. She absolutely captured our vision, our guests, and my husband and I perfectly. Everyone I’ve sent pictures to has raved about how amazing they look. Her photos are truly stunning and I can’t wait to see our whole gallery. I would absolutely work with Megan again in the future!

Stephanie Small Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Emporia, VA

I am from a small town in North Carolina. I grew up being in front of a camera doing pageants and modeling. I know what it is like to have no direction at a photoshoot and leave disappointed. I strive to never make anyone feel this way when they leave a session and certainly not on your wedding day. I coach you and help pose you so that you do not feel or look awkward. Photos are not only about how you look, but also the memories that go along with them. When I am not taking pictures, you can find me hanging out with my husband and two kids.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Stephanie as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our engagement photos to bridal portraits, and especially on our wedding day, Stephanie captured every moment beautifully and exceeded all of our expectations. Her attention to detail and artistic vision brought our love story to life in every image, and we couldn’t be happier with the final results. Beyond her incredible photography skills, what truly sets Stephanie apart is her emotional and physical support throughout the entire process. She was so much more than just a photographer—she felt like a friend, guiding us through the day with care and making sure we felt comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Stephanie and her second shooter Sheri were an amazing team, keeping us relaxed and calm while capturing all the important moments. Stephanie’s calming presence helped ease our nerves, and Sheri was always there with an extra hand, whether it was fixing my dress or coordinating the wedding party for photos. Their professionalism and warmth were exactly what we needed during such an emotional time, and they both went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The photos themselves are stunning—every shot feels timeless and captures the joy, love, and candid moments we’ll treasure forever. From the romantic engagement shots to the bridal portraits that made me feel beautiful, and the vibrant energy of our wedding day, Stephanie perfectly documented every stage of our journey. We can’t recommend Stephanie and Sheri enough! They’re not just incredibly talented photographers but also wonderful people who made our experience even more special. If you’re looking for someone who will capture your wedding day with heart and precision, Stephanie is the one.

But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story.

I have unofficially been the family photographer for years. Whether it be formals or family reunions, I’m usually the one behind the camera. The two things I value most are my family and our memories. What better way to engrain a memory than having it in a timeless photo? That leads me to where I am today! I am here to learn, grow and along the way help other people freeze their memories in time, as I do my own. When I’m not behind the camera or with my nose in a book, I am with my two fur babies; Sadie and Nash; my life partner and best friend, Isaiah; or my family.

Kelsey is a dream to work with. I looked through her portfolio and knew I wanted to work with her. Not only did I love the engagement shoots she has done, but it was amazing to see that she had done a lot of weddings at the venue I picked. I had her do my engagement photos & 6hrs for the wedding. She was very responsive anytime I reached out. I know wedding season is very busy, I never felt like I was left hanging. While my new husband is comfortable in-front of the camera, I was very much not. Kelsey is great at guiding and making you feel comfortable. Our engagement photos were something different from her portfolio, the arcade, and she did a phenomenal job like I knew she would. Stephanie assisted us on the day of the wedding and she was wonderful too. I provided a detailed shot list for the family portraits and she did a great job navigating the family. After dinner Kelsey was able to provide me with a sneak peek of my photos. I am so excited to see the rest of my photos!

Emily and Dryden exceeded our expectations and we only knew them 10 days before the wedding day! We ran into an issue with our originally booked wedding photo + video crew only 2 weeks out before our big day, and in came this remarkably talented duo to save the day. We didn’t give them much time to coordinate and plan the photo + video for the day with us and yet, they did it all so effortlessly—all while genuinely getting to know us as a couple. They made the day go smoothly with our day-of schedule, brought the fun with some music during photos and fun posing prompts, were professional and courteous towards us and our guests, and deliver quality AND quantity! We are so happy to have had Fuse Media Studios capture our big day and to now call these two dear friends in the process is a special bonus!

When the decorations are gone, and the food is eaten - all you'll be left with are the photos telling your story. Leave that to us!

River Songs Photos. 10/10. Amazing price for an even better quality delivery of services. Both photographers were personable, easy to work with and very professional. They stayed with us the entire day of our wedding and captured some of the most beautiful photos we’ve ever seen. The quality of our photos were just breathtaking. The edits were done phenomenally. I can’t recommend River Songs Photos enough!!!!

Working with Kelly was better than I could have imagined! She talked with me over a Zoom call at the beginning of planning our wedding and made a wedding timeline with me. Over the months of planning our wedding, we edited the timeline a few times, and I was so happy to have her experience and guidance in that since we were not hiring a wedding coordinator. Kelly was prompt with her responses to my texts and emails, and always professional. Our engagement session with Kelly was so fun, and she made us both feel comfortable during our first professional photo shoot ever. She delivered over 100 photos just from our engagement shoot! The day of our wedding, Kelly wore many hats. She acted as coordinator by keeping everyone in line and everything according to our timeline. She was also basically my maid of honor, fixing my dress, buttoning my gown’s sleeves in the car on the way to our ceremony, and swapping her shoes with mine for 30 minutes so my feet could have a break from my uncomfortable shoes before our first dance. I also appreciated her taking charge when needed. It took some stress off of me and allowed me to enjoy our big day without having to boss people around, haha. When it was all said and done, she delivered about 1,000 stunning photos of our day that we will always cherish, and even sent 100 printed photos as a gift to us. Kelly, THANK YOU for making our wedding day run smoothly, hyping us both up, making us feel comfortable and heard, and delivering such special memories in picture form. 3 So thankful we found you to be our photographer!

Hey there, I'm Elena! I’m a wedding and engagement photographer based in Bristol, VA/TN serving clients across Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina. While my heart is in the Southeast, I'm always ready to pack my bags and capture your love story wherever it takes you across the country. My shooting style is relaxed, playful, and evocative. I value connection, authenticity, and true colors. I help couples who love candid shots and cherish raw emotions! Before becoming a wedding photographer, I spent a decade as a travel reporter. This shaped my photojournalistic and observant approach. I absolutely LOVE hunting for the ideal moment!

We had the best experience shooting our engagement session with Elena. She made sure that we were comfortable and gave us confidence through teaching us how to pose. Her photos from the session captured the best light and were beautiful. Elena was a joy to work with and was very communicative throughout the process from giving tips, to being receptive to our ideas, and going the extra mile to find the perfect location.

Within such short notice, she coordinated meeting time, researched the area for photo ops, and was ready with so many poses for us. She even agreed to be a witness for our ceremony! Working with her during the shoot was a joy. She was very fun and upbeat, making it an even more enjoyable experience. And the pictures turned out AMAZING! So so thankful for Josie and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated photographer who will give you the most beautiful photos.

We easily chose Shack Photo and Film for our wedding day. Their communication style was open, continuous, kind, and mindful throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was superior, first-rate, excellent, and of the highest quality - truly exemplary.

Hi, I'm Coby! I am so excited you are here! It is a privilege to be invited to some of the most pivotal and beautiful moments in people's lives. My couples choose me to preserve true, honest memories of their newly forming family tree. They trust me to truly see these connections and document them with professionalism and artistic ability so that they come away with photos that are treasured for the rest of their lives.

I worked with Coby at a fall wedding in Raleigh, and she was a dream photographer for my client. She spent several months before the wedding helping myself and my client prepare for their wedding, which made wedding photography the day of extremely smooth. From the first moment of inquiry to well beyond the final delivery of the wedding gallery, she made the whole wedding planning process a team event.

We have been friends since 2006, married since 2008, and capturing memories through photography since 2010. The years of experience in all three make us uniquely qualified to tell your budding love story. If the years have taught us anything, its that fulfilling, long-lasting marriages have a foundation of friendship, and are built with joy - and perhaps quite a few carbs! We strive to help you feel confident during your big day, and not awkward or stressed - so you can look back on joyful memories that tell your love story.

We had the most amazing experience with Him & Her Photography! Josh and Alisha did both our engagement and wedding photography and went above and beyond from the very beginning. They were so fun to work with and on the wedding day, provided great support for timeline and guidance. They even had our sneak peek pictures ready DURING our reception for guests to view— which both we & the guests were in awe of. I can’t recommend them enough!

Audra is a fantastic photographer and person. Audra did an engagement photo shoot for me and my wife and photographed our wedding, and I cannot speak highly enough about what an awesome job she did. The photos are phenomenal, she took the small amount of feedback we had to heart and incorporated it, and she made sure we were all on the same page about the style of photographs we wanted. She was able to capture the two of us and our loved ones in a natural and intimate way without ever taking away from the moment. Also, she was incredibly fun to work with and made the whole experience a blast. I highly recommend her for any photography needs!

I am bubbly, make bad jokes to get giggles out of you, and I strive to feel more like a friend than a stranger on your wedding day. So if you love my work and you can vibe with that, you are in the right place!

Darryl and his staff were amazing in two ways. 1. They slipped right in and felt like family. They were so great to work with. 2. They were crafty ninjas on our wedding day getting shots I wasn’t fully aware they were around to take. Like theater techs they blended in the background and took amazing pics of me, my husband and our family. We had so much fun. Bonus, the vide they crafted for us….wooo! If you want to relive your special day and be a ball of tears and joy in the best way, hire Optikool Illusions.

Josie with Give Photography was my wedding photographer and I'm so grateful to her for her incredible photos. My husband and I had never done professional photos and had no idea how to pose or what to do but Josie sure knows a thing or two! She got the most romantic and beautiful photos and everything felt so natural and easy. Plus our reception venue was pretty dark and had weird lighting so a lot of our guests photos didn't turn out, so it was a real gift to have Josie's incredible photos at the reception. I have no idea how she pulled it off but they look so magical and caught everyone having fun, all the exact memories I'll always cherish.
