Awarded Best of Zola
Sara did a phenomenal job for our engagement photos and wedding. She was so nice but also assertive for group photos which our group needed! She came very prepared and brought along items like a stain stick and a bride hanger to be prepared for anything that could’ve happened to ruin the look. She was flexible with us when we decided to tweak our timeline a little bit during our wedding and made sure to just go with it and capture all the moments of us with our guests. She really takes time to get to know you as a couple and has so much fun with you while she hypes you up to get the best shots. Not only do I love her work, but her personality makes her a great vendor to work with!

Photography is more than a career to me, it's my passion. I want to give you an inspired photographic experience. ‍ Your wedding images should tell your story, not mine or anyone else's. The images should evoke the raw and honest emotions of the love you share. Through my lens, I strive to faithfully translate the love and emotion you feel into timeless and genuine images, so five, ten, or fifty years from the future you can relive that day the same way you experienced it. The timeless photographs will become your treasured and preserved works of art, ready to be gathered together in an album or hung on your walls.

I've always been a creative at heart. I thrive when I am able to fulfill my passion of creating something beautiful that others will enjoy. I discovered my love for photographing portraits and couples after taking photos for friends and family, and the rest is history! My passion is to creatively capture the beauty and authentic personality of a person, couple, or family. When I'm not out photographing a couple or editing at my computer, I enjoy going out to the best new restaurant in the city, being outdoors, or planning a trip to a new destination to explore. I'm a lover of coffee, traveling, reading and anything outdoors.

Hi, I’m Toly Dzyuba, a Minneapolis based wedding photographer with over 10 years of experience capturing love stories across Minnesota. From the scenic shores of Lake Superior to charming rustic barns in the countryside, and elegant celebrations in the heart of downtown Minneapolis. My approach is all about blending the beauty of each location with the raw emotion and joy of your special day, creating timeless, authentic images that truly reflect who you are as a couple, infused with purpose and soul

My husband and I recently got married on the north shore of Lake Superior, and we hired Toly to capture our special day. He was amazing from the start! He was passionate about capturing the best photos possible and had a particularly great eye for scoping out spots with the best lighting. He for sure exceeded expectations - we genuinely could not imagine our wedding without him. He provided us with our photos about a month after the wedding, and we were able to see sneak peaks before then. The photos he delivered were absolutely spectacular! Would highly recommend!!

  • Serves Forest Lake, MN

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
I would give 15/10 stars if I could. Becca was the best. She was so kind, easy to work with, wonderful and her work was the most beautiful wedding flowers I have ever seen (yes, it was my wedding so while I might be biased I also have been to a LOT of weddings and I stand by the best wedding flowers I have ever seen). We didn't give her much direction other than "we like fall and its a fall wedding" and she took that and made it the fall wedding of our dreams. We received so many compliments on our flowers all night (even from strangers while we were taking pictures). And now that we have some of our pictures back people are STILL commenting on how good they look in pictures. She was timely, always responded to my many emails and took both my husbands and my ideas and made them one cohesive idea.

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey is a great photographer that's easy to work with and helps you feel really comfortable with the process. Our photos for our engagement as well as our wedding day turned out beautifully, and a couple of my friends ended up using him for their wedding days as well after seeing how well things went with ours! One of the best things was having the option to add an additional shooter for the wedding day!

Let’s get this out of the way, yes, Angela Divine is my real name. My grandmother was Divina, she passed the name Divine onto my mom, and my mom passed it onto me. Maybe it stems from my untraditional name, but I’ve always marched to the beat of my own drum. In my younger years, I never fit it in, and I didn’t find my people until I stopped trying and embraced what makes me weird. I love celebrating the unique with my photography, which is why I work best with those who want their photos to be truly authentic and one of a kind. Looking forward to hearing your vision, and what makes your story so unique.

Angela was fantastic to work with from our introductory conversation, all the way through the entire process. We never had any miscommunication whatsoever. She went above and beyond the call of duty!! We were married on Halloween, and she was happy to spend the holiday photographing our special time. She even did the research to see what it would take to get some full moon shots with us!! Angela was kind and thoughtful with our friends and family during the whole day. Her gentle professionalism is notable. We were able to view a few of her shots, and so far, so good! She is skilled, attentive, and most of all, a sweet person with an eye for detail. We absolutely recommend her to anyone who has an event that needs to be captured in pictures! All the Love! Jonny and Libby.

Planning and execution: Her suggestions for arrangements were thoughtful and inspired, taking into consideration our personal preferences, budget, design for our wedding and venue, and honestly... us as people. We wanted our florals and design to be an extension of our shared home of Portland and our personal aesthetics and it was just perfection. The flowers: -My bouquet was everything I dreamed it would be and more (and I'm extremely picky). Sarah was also kind enough to include a personal memorial charm that was very important to me to my bouquet. -Our boutonnieres were perfect for the groomsmen family. The pops of color tied together different ensembles and personalities. -Sarah also did florals on our vegan cakes and several statement arrangements and they were BEYOND GORGEOUS! -The freshest, most beautiful flowers. Sarah herself: is a delight to work with. She has a calm and professional demeanor.

I was born and raised in Minnesota and absolutely love being able to photograph in the 4 seasons we have here! I have had a passion for photography since I was a little girl and owned a little blue Sony digital camera. I would capture times spent with family on vacation and take pictures with my friends. My mom got me into scrap booking at a young age, so I knew growing up I wanted to continue capturing all the special moments of not only my life but now others too!

From our first interaction with Photos by Morgan Ann, we were impressed by her concise, detailed, and timely communication. She listened carefully to understand our vision for the day and provided creative ideas to capture our special moments. On the wedding day, her efficient, purposeful, and skilled approach ensured the photography flowed seamlessly, allowing us to fully enjoy the celebration. The final images beautifully reflect the joy and love of our wedding, and we are thrilled with the exceptional value Photos by Morgan Ann provided. We highly recommend them to any couple seeking an experienced, professional photography team to document their big day.

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Lauren was so amazing from the day we met her until the day we got our photos after our wedding! She did our engagement and wedding photos. She was so accommodating with us and very flexible as we changed a lot of our wedding plans due to covid. She was easy to communicate with and so so friendly! She felt like someone we had known forever and made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day. We were so pleased with how our photos turned out and how fast we got them back! Lauren knows what she's doing and is very professional while also being personable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Being part of my clients story, is where I have found my calling. Capturing moments in your life, freezing those memories, and making them stay alive each time you look at your photos, is truly what makes my time rewarding. There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

Honestly, our big day would have not been as amazing if it wasn’t for Cori. She literally is so amazing! She captured every detail and every unplanned beautiful moment wonderfully. She’s professional, fun, makes everything less stressful, helps out where she can even outside the photos and video just to help ensure your day is as beautiful as possible. We had a lot of hiccups on our wedding and she helped far past what was needed and it made the biggest difference for me personally more than she even knows. She’s level headed and helps you get back focused on your special day. The day, the pictures, the video all AMAZING!

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!

Moments by Danielle Nicole is a light and airy photographer and videographer, serving brides in South Dakota, Minnesota, and open to travel to beautiful destination locations. MBDN leans towards a luxury wedding photographer and fine art type of editing style.

We hired Danielle for our wedding after our original photo/video team cancelled on us 6 months out. As stressful as it was, I’m so glad that happened because Danielle is AMAZING. She is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and her light and airy photos are stunning. She is very professional and organized. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. We all know posing for pictures is awkward sometimes, but Danielle made us and our bridal party feel comfortable on the wedding day and it shows in the photos just how much fun we had with her. Danielle actually lives in SD about 45 minutes from my husband and I and we have already discussed that she will be our go to photographer for all our future photo needs. Her prices are beyond reasonable for everything included in her packages. We actually got the same amount of coverage as the original team we hired, but for about 1500 less which is huge when planning a wedding! If you’re looking for a photo/video team reach out to Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!
