Awarded Best of Zola
Kastina and her team made the wedding planning process totally stress free. She was always available for questions and felt such relief after each of our pre planning meetings because of her and her teams organization and planning skills. The day of the wedding, Kastina’s team, Lauren, Tory and Sammi, were so organized and made sure the day flowed effortlessly. I know I did not have to worry about a single thing with them around on the day of. Many of our guests commented how well the day went. One guest told me it was like watching a movie with how everything flowed together. Another guest said she had never been to a wedding where nothing went wrong. Maybe nothing went wrong and maybe something did. Bottom line was if anything did, our guests didn’t know and neither did we. For that we are grateful to this talented team! Not only are they all so very good at their jobs, but they were also very kind, supportive and positive throughout the entire day and did everything in their power to ensure the day went off without a hitch! I would highly recommend working with Kastina and Co for your wedding, you will not regret it!

On the wedding day itself, Ashlyn posed us perfectly, calmed our nerves when things got hectic, and was by our side for every important moment.

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cross Lake Media went above and beyond to make our entire engagement seamless. Meredith highlighted our interests during engagement pictures. She met with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything was in order. Her and Shawna kept us on our schedule on the wedding day. Her editing is phenomenal. She lets the natural beauty shine, while adding her artistic style to each picture. She cared for us as a couple, not as “Just another client.” 10/10 recommend!

Hello and welcome! My name is Lindsay and I am a Saint Paul based photographer. My style is a mix of candid, photojournalistic, traditional and artistic. With those techniques in mind, I do my best to tell your story. I believe every story and individual is unique, and therefore should be captured that way.

I had the opportunity to work with Lindsay Miller Photography at an October 2020 wedding. She was the photographer and I was the videographer. She is so wonderful and let me surprise our couple with an even more special full length video - one that showed the whole day through Lindsay's beautiful photos!!  Since I only shot the ceremony, I'm so ecstatic that she was kind enough to team up on the full length video so the couple could watch their entire day, including the parts I wasn't there to video. Her work took that video to the next level and I'm so happy to have gotten the chance to showcase her fantastic work. She was a dream to communicate with, replied in a timely manner, and is such an easy going person to work with. She truly is a dream photographer!

Hi, I'm Kellie! My inspiration comes from my faith, my love for people, and my parents' marriage of almost 40 years. It brings me so much joy to celebrate others. My couples typically describe me as bubbly, organized, and personable. I like to consider myself less like a vendor and more like a friend!

Enjoy contagious, her talent and passion for photography is incredible. Kellie made my husband and I feel like her only clients, and we still look at our photos weekly as if we just got them back. Her knowledge and expertise helped us plan or shot list perfectly, and she put all of my nerves at ease. She has such a knack for capturing the best moments full of love, laughter, and even a few happy tears. There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful we are to have had such a timely, attentive, and kind person to capture the most important day of our lives. We love Kellie’s work, and we love her as a person!

Hi! I'm Shara I LOVE WEDDINGS!! I began designing wedding bouquets in 2010 when I designed for my daughter's wedding.

From personal flowers... bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres to ceremony arrangements, installations, and reception centerpieces, I am energized with creative ideas and the execution of my client's vision!

Shara created the most beautiful, whimsical, and photo-worthy arrangements for our May wedding. Not only was her work stunning, but it was EXACTLY what we envisioned.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

I have always been captured by the beauty of nature and flowers. There is something miraculous and poetic in the way flowers grow out of the dirt and bring such variety and delight. ​​​​​​​​ This is why we incorporate flowers into the most pivotal moments in our lives. Flowers are symbols of all the potential in these moments; they speak to all the possibility of our lives while reminding us that, though beautiful, life is fragile. ​​​​​​​​ ​​​Participating in this language of flowers is what I love to do with Bedecked. Capturing and framing life’s significant moments with all the beauty and mystery of flowers!

Awarded Best of Zola
10/10 would recommend hiring Becca from Bedecked Florals. A little back story- I had hired a florist back in 2020 pre-pandemic-I met with her once to discuss my vision- didn't hear from that florist again until I had to reach out to her 2 months before our original date to ask if we should be meeting up again to discuss flowers.. that wedding ended up getting canceled due to covid and she ended up refunding us since our second date landed on her brothers wedding- I was pretty relieved to have the opportunity to hire someone else. It was when I hired Becca when I truly realized the bullet we dodged with our first florist. Becca was so wonderful. Her communication was incredible and she made the planning process SO much easier. She looked through my Pinterest page which had no direction at all- I liked about every type of style out there and somehow she understood the vision I could never describe to her. She would pick up on the things I liked that I wasn't able to articulate- I just knew I liked the photo I pinned but I could never pick out why I liked it. She would send me REAL options of vases to choose from and would create virtual renderings of bouquet options with the flowers she would be using. She made virtual renderings of different arrangements in my ACTUAL venue, using the tables, runners, plates, glassware, ect that I rented so I could see EXACTLY how everything would look in the space. I was AMAZED. Becca made flowers the easiest part of the planning process. Come wedding time, her execusion was FLAWLESS. So many people commented on how beautiful our flowers were- her passion and hard work really showed and she absolutely nailed it. With out pause, hiring her was one of the best decisions we made while planning our wedding!! Thank you so much Becca! You absolutely killed it!!

I’ve shot over 75 weddings, and continue to in Las Vegas, NV, MN, ND, and beyond. I would love to serve you as a part of my journey. All I want is to build a relationship with you, be your third wheel, & send you off with memories.

Nikayla and Co is just an incredible company. No other words to say than I highly recommend her organized, beautiful & timeless artwork that is capturing one of the most beautiful, divine days of someone’s life.

Our videograoher, Max, was an absolute pleasure to work with. He made sure he knew our vision and captured it on the day of our wedding. Our wedding video came out amazing. We were also matched to two photographers who captured the rich moody tone we were looking for. Unfortunately one of the photographers was late to the wedding and missed our ceremony, and although the lead photographer did an excellent job capturing what he could by himself, this mishap resulted in a crushing lack of photos of my dad walking me down the aisle. Picture This Wedding did reach out with a sincere apology, and offered us some additional services at no cost, which we appreciated.

Hey there, I'm Brianna! I am an film lovin', free-spirited, traveling photographer. I'm based out of Minnesota and available for wherever your love takes us. I'm all about documenting love stories in a creative, documentary style that captures all the real stuff—candid moments, quirky expressions of love, and genuine personalities. My style comes from a balanced blend of documentary and editorial influences.

Brianna is beyond anything we could have imagined from our wedding photographer! We were very picky when we set out to look for wedding photographers - we wanted our photos to feel authentic and genuine to our personalities and we wanted a photographer who matched our overall wedding vibes. Brianna far exceeded our (very high) expectations. Brianna perfectly captured the beauty of every moment of our day. Plus, the super 8 film is stunning! It is amazing the emotion that Brianna captures in her work. And, as if it couldn't get any better, we felt such a genuine connection to Brianna. She was incredibly affirming to both me and my partner. I simply cannot imagine a better experience than the one we got with Brianna. If you are looking for a photographer who is responsive to your requests, a true artist, and affirming of queer love then look no further because Brianna is a perfect fit! - Annie Olson

Floret & Foliage

  • Florist
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

Welcome! I am Allison! The Badass Behind The Flowers. The official flower handler of Floret & Foliage. I live in Wahpeton, with my bearded husband, Jesse; two dogs, Ruxin, Penny, and three cats, Dottie, Kit, & Lewis affectionately known as Poopis. I rarely brush my hair, and it is almost always in a ponytail or a bun, and probably a different color than the last time you saw me.

Allison absolutely nailed our wedding florals! After giving her (probably too many) ideas and visions and descriptions of what we hoped our wedding florals would look like, she somehow knew my vision and my dream way better than I ever did - and I was totally blown away on our wedding day. I 1,000% trusted her through every step of every process - as she is a professional and has tons of experience and quite simply just has an eye for florals. She is SO talented. I was never worried - and never questioned our decision to partner with her on our wedding day, not once. We got several compliments from our friends and family, too. We will forever be grateful for the beautiful work she did for us.

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.

Emily - and her husband, Dan - are an absolute joy to work! They put as much effort into trying to be helpful, and to be a friend to you, as they do into getting incredible photos. They’re easy to communicate with, fun to be around, as professional as they come, more creative than you can imagine, and the end product will leave you breathless! Absolutely cannot recommend them enough!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

Where to start on Jake Lanes ability to take AMAZING photos!?! Two Oaks photography is something you’ll want to check out. I randomly came across Jake on the internet looking for someone to shoot Josh and I’s wedding on 10.3.2020. We got an engagement session with him to better get to know him, his style, and see the quality of the photos. The engagement session was so much fun, we actually got fully submerged into the Mississippi river to try and get the perfect shot! Yes, the shots did turn out quite great. Jake is creative, witty, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond. As thrilled as we were about the engagement photos, we were that much more excited about our big day and it being captured! We had Jake, his lovely wife Amanda and actually a videographer which was a total surprise on our big day (a good one). We just got the wedding photos back and am totally blown away by the amazing photos. These are photos Josh and I will cherish the rest of our lives!! Thank you so much for rocking our day Jake and everything you brought to the table. We enjoyed your cheerful attitude and great ideas, God bless you and your family.

I never saw myself having a wedding. Never imagined the venue, the flowers, or the centerpieces. Never had any ideas about what my hair would look like or the dress I would wear. 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.

the best thing you can do as a newly wed is make sure you have the right man and more importantly the right photographer lol jk but seriously :). ‘happy’ doesn’t begin to describe the intense emotions you have on your wedding day and ‘happy’ is an understatement compared to what i felt when i got the photos back from lily. she’s an artist & an artist needs space and time to work. we just let her do her thang and my wedding photos literally came out magazine worthy. the one thing I tell everyone who has seen our photos is it was captured the way i remember it. her photos are influenced by all the emotion and aura throughout your day. she captured my Caribbean dream better than anyone else could. Forever grateful.
