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!!

In all facets of my work, I always strive to tell a story. For weddings, that means telling not only the story of an event - but one of two people who’ve spent countless hours together. Your photos should be a direct reflection of your relationship - timeless, emotional, and authentic. I believe in keeping things simple and work in a way that allows you to appreciate your day and its details, while I capture everything in a modern journalistic style. I want you to be able to relive the moments of your wedding, both seen and unseen, with your photos. Photography isn’t just my career, it’s my life, and I can’t wait to make it part of yours.

  • Serves Golden Valley, 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
Bonnie documented our wedding Oct '22, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning leading up to the event was timely, clear and simple. Her cool, calm manner made us all feel at ease and the candids that Bonnie grabbed between moments are some of our favorite shots. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of a lens, but we love the way she was able to capture our personalities on camera. We are so grateful to have had Bonnie at our wedding, and would highly recommend her services.

With over a decade of experience, I believe your wedding day should reflect who you are and the journey you share. Whether an intimate mountain elopement, a seaside ceremony, or a grand celebration, my focus is to capture your love story – the genuine, heartfelt moments that make your day unforgettable. I work closely with you to ensure each image feels natural and meaningful, letting you relive the day’s emotions. Based in Minnesota and ready to travel, I blend seamlessly into your day, preserving every detail with care. Let’s create a timeless collection that truly reflects your love and the legacy you’re building.

Oh my lanta. Where do I begin? If we had to get married again, my first task would be to see if Rigg & Co was available and if not, I’d change my wedding date. I couldn’t imagine not having her there! First, Kate listens to what you want. My husband and I really wanted a lot of candid photos of us and our guests. We had an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family so it was important to us that she captured them in the moment! Mission accomplished and more. Second, Kate is so talented and also just a fun human to be around. There’s no awkwardness or that “is this a good pose? Am I doing what I’m supposed to?” feeling because she makes you feel so comfortable! It was like she was just a part of the family and fit right in. She really was there at every moment - the rehearsal, up very early the next morning to go to the farmers market where I picked out my flowers, the ceremony, the dance, everything! Looking back, I’m extra thankful for her and the long day she put in because every moment was captured beautifully and exceeded my expectations. It even rained during our ceremony and the way she captured us during it was magical! I also can’t leave a review without mentioning the video she made! I was blown away by this. The video is so well done and thoughtful and really special to us as we got married during COVID and we had people who could not attend. This video allows them to see all of the intimate details of our wedding without actually being there. We even hired her years later to do family photos with our doggo! She’s the best. I feel like I’m rambling but it’s really because I cannot say enough positive things about Kate - hire her!

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.

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!

Capturing your beautiful & intimate moments is why I do what I do. Whether it's the brush of a hand, a first look, or an inside joke whispered at just the right time... I am constantly seeking to capture those beautiful moments. Those real, stunning and timeless moments that make up YOUR relationship. However, I pride myself on being more than a wedding photographer – As someone who has been an intimate part of over 200 weddings, I vow to be your number one hype woman, your timeline planner, your moment of zen, your personal cleavage taper, your family wrangler, your time pauser, and your memory keeper.

Mycah came down to Chicago to take our engagement pictures – We started at the Chicago Institute of Art, walked the streets to the Chicago theater, and ended on a bridge overlooking the river. These are hands down some of the greatest pictures I have ever had taken of me, and I have had so many people reach out to me asking who the photographer was. Not only is Mycah absolutely brilliant when it comes to photography, and capturing love in a way that is authentic and powerful, but she also has a natural ability to make the entire process so seamless and calm. My fiancé made it very clear before we took pictures that we were going to be doing his 2 least favorite things – PDA, and taking pictures. Yet after the afternoon we spent taking pictures together he was so grateful for the experience, and even rated it a 10/10! I can't say enough about how talented Mycah is, and I would never trust anybody else to take my pictures.

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.

They want quality work at reasonable prices. Great price points. Hey look, when all other things go wrong at a wedding, the photos are the one thing you want done right! Don’t skimp!! Highly recommend!!!

Hi all, I’m Erin! I’m a wedding photographer based in Minneapolis but I’m always up for a destination or travel wedding/elopement. I feel my favorite images are always ones that are captured vs manufactured and embracing the true interactions between the couple, their friends and family. I LOVE love and I’ll probably cry at your wedding, all those feels get me.

I can't imagine anyone better to work with for our wedding pics. Erin effortlessly met our vibe and helped us keep everything calm, cool, and moving right along. She was essential in helping us nail down a timeline that maximized our priorities but also resulted in an incredible variety of photos that perfectly captured the day. We ended up with so many photos we loved that our moms scheduled a day to reminisce on the wedding and go back through the pics together. Everything 10/10, can't recommend enough!

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!

I want to create with you a time capsule: a way to transport you back to your wedding day and how it all felt. I believe photography is the purest form of storytelling. I live for the unrehearsed, beautiful and genuine images. Those filled with pure joy and even tears. I also know how to help you treasure those family photos (your family ROCKS!) and capture all the details that become so precious. Your story is AMAZING and I can't wait to be there to celebrate together!

Laura has captured every part of our wedding journey from the proposal to our engagement photos to our wedding day. She is the sweetest soul and consistently puts out amazing photos. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera but she always made us feel so comfortable. We brought our dog to both our engagement photos and our wedding. He’s not great in front of the camera either but she was able to get some of my favorite shots of both days with him behaving for 30 seconds at a time.

Hello there!! I’m so pumped to meet you!! Honestly, making new friends is the best. Surrounding myself with excitement, love, and happiness is the best career I could ask for. I have been a photographer for 11 years, and specializing in weddings since 2014. I grew up in Minneapolis, but am far from a typical Midwesterner! I have a degree in Sociology and Anthropology, so I genuinely am fascinated not only by your love story, but also your background, profession, and daily whereabouts!

If you're looking for someone who will creatively capture every single detail and moment, as well as every candid smile, laugh and tear on your wedding day, Athena of Empiria Studios is your gal! We absolutely LOVED having Athena as our wedding photographer. Not only does her work speak for itself, but her upbeat/positive attitude, spunk and calming nature truly did wonders to all of our nerves and excitement the day of and prior to. On top of her awesome personality, Athena is very proactive, organized and adaptable, and she made the entire planning experience such a breeze (even during COVID!). We were super impressed with the timeliness of our several sneak peaks, and also, how prompt she got us our entire wedding album! Athena was a true joy to work with and get to know, and we look forward to having her capture future moments/occasions. Now go check out her website, view her work and hire her - that’s exactly what we did - I promise you won’t regret it!

I’VE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL THIRD WHEEL FOR 10 YEARS. Yup, crazy I know! I've joined countless couples in their adventures of love. Why? People are my passion. Photography sprouted out of my desire to connect with people and make it known to the world that every human has equal worth and beauty. I dabbled in photojournalism before I fell in love with weddings. When I was in Kenya I had the privilege of documenting a few weddings, and that's when there was a SPARK.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Mariah doing henna for her at a local cultural event, she had such passion for cultures and photography, and was such a genuine and happy person! I followed her work knowing that one day I'd like to work with her. When a few years later I was planning my own multicultural wedding, (and launching my wedding decor business), Mariah was the perfect fit. Knowing that she had knowledge and experience and more importantly passion for the craziness of cultural weddings/events was huge. She took the time to meet with me and my fiance to go over what we wanted, what the focus of the event should be, how we were doing our wedding, answering all our questions, giving us suggestions, etc. Even though as usual on the wedding day some things were running late, and we were getting antsy with the picture taking, she kept her calm, kept us laughing, and made it easy for us to enjoy the moment. We received so many amazing pictures of us, of our friends and family, and such great captures from our wedding day and the events beforehand. Could not be happier with how the day went and how the pictures turned out (I just wish we could have posed all day and had more awesome pics)!! She truly captured the joy we felt that weekend - and she was feeling it through the weekend as well!! It was a blast working with her team!

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!!!

I’m a wedding photographer located in Minneapolis serving modern and chic couples across the state, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois. I am inspired by art, architecture, and European design giving her wedding collections a timeless look in the Midwest.

Gretchen was our photographer for both our engagement shoot and wedding celebration. She is so kind, made you feel so comfortable and at ease during every shoot! She makes you feel so special and absolutely not judged at all. Communication throughout the whole process was transparent and very professional as well! As someone who needs reassurance throughout the way, Gretchen made me feel at ease. I've never worked with a kinder person and the photo delivery was better than we expected. We are so glad she was the one to capture our forever pictures. She's the kindest human to trust during your most special moment!

I am an introvert and an extravert in one. I am honest, loyal, creative, committed, passionate, and genuine. I am a simple person with a complex personality. I love the little things in life, from a good latte to the perfect fitting jeans to a bright summer day. Being outside rejuvenates. I am crazy about my family; my husband, and 3 daughters. I love traditions, like the same family vacation every year, but I also can't wait for my next spontaneous girlfriend getaway. If I am not out exploring the world, I enjoy living in the four seasoned state of Minnesota. There are so many adventures to have right in my backyard!

We absolutely love working with Erin! We recommend her to our clients all the time! She is professional, kind, confident, and patient. She is a wedding industry veteran who will help your day go smoothly!
