Sound Originals Photo & Video is a team of EMMY award winning storytellers. Our photography and videography packages are tailored to you, customizable and perfect for every wedding. We offer engagement photography, wedding photos, highlight films, wedding coverage and more.

I’m so glad we went with Sound Originals for our wedding photos! Both photographers and videographer were awesome. Booking was easy and I love their online portal – they asked all the right questions and made sure everyone was on the same page with the vision for the day. We were able to have a planning call to “meet” our lead photographer, Carly, before the wedding day. I really appreciated that so we could go over some details and feel a little bit more comfortable going into the big day (husband and I are not huge picture people). Carly and team were right on time and I can’t say enough good things about how comfortable they made us feel and how hard they worked to make sure we got every shot that we wanted. It rained on our wedding day so there were some pictures I was disappointed about not getting, but Carly got out her phone and was tracking the weather so we could take advantage of every single break in the rain – even if it was only a couple minutes! We ended up getting every picture that I wanted and I’m so grateful! We got our picture gallery back ahead of what was stated in the contract and it’s everything we hoped for. The color is exactly what we chose (we went with the “Timeless” edit. Despite the rain they managed to capture every location on the property and it looks absolutely beautiful. We had an awesome experience, and I highly recommend them. Thank you for being a part of our favorite day!

  • Serves Golden Valley, MN

With a passion for storytelling, I weave together posed portraits and candid moments, creating a visual narrative that defies traditional portrait photography. Each frame is an invitation to relive the most intimate and cherished moments of your life. At the heart of my approach is a commitment to authenticity. I strive to go beyond the surface, capturing the genuine emotions that make each story unique.

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!

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.

Bonnie Drake Photography

  • 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
I've had the pleasure of working with Bonnie several times in the last year with her as my second shooter. She is on time, friendly, and a great person to work with. Her work is also great and I can always trust that her photos will be a great addition to my own! She'll absolutely be a great addition to your day; I wouldn't ever hesitate to hire her!

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Stop looking for another photographer!!!! Just stop. Don't waste your time with anybody else, you want Britt from Render Photography. Britt has now photographed us on three separate occasions, including our wedding. We were married in the dead of Minnesota winter. She came prepared for indoor and outdoor photos and had fantastic ideas. She worked with us prior to the wedding to ensure that we got photos with all of our family members, which was very important to us. (Pro tip: make this list BEFORE your wedding day. Don't worry, Britt will remind you.) Not only does Britt have an amazing eye for light, but she will also help to pose you and your family/wedding party/friends/dogs to help accentuate your best looks. Read that again - yes, I said dogs. Britt works well with humans and just as well with furry friends. Britt was absolutely integral to the success of our wedding. Make no mistake, she's the reason we started on time. She's professional to the core while bringing a light and warm energy to any space she enters. Are you silly and light-hearted? She's got you. Are you dramatic and serious? No problem. When you work with one of the best in the business, your personality is captured regardless of how you emote. Give yourself the gift of beautifully captured memories by working with Britt. It will be one of the best decisions you make.

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.

Heather is such an amazing photographer to work with! We did both our engagement and our wedding photos with her and both of them were such fun and unique experiences! Heather is the BEST if you're looking for something very personalized, unique and off-beat, and she really knows how to capture the unique spirit of your wedding. On the day, she knows how to manage your time and keep the day going smoothly. I also just want to mention she is the BEST at beautiful candid moments. So many photographers can be great at beautiful posed shots, but fall down when it comes to capturing those in-the-moment photos. Hers are well lit, beautifully framed and really speak to those special moments that really make your day memorable. 10/10!

Eric Turner Photography

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!

Welcome to my corner of the internet :) I’m a couple’s and wedding photographer based in Minnesota! It is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

Catie made our day so special. She had shot ideas prepared specifically for our venue and captured just the right moments. We asked her to be more “behind the scenes” during the ceremony and reception and I honestly never saw her taking the shots that she got. We are so pleased with the edits that make our day so magical when looking back.

I am a full-time film photographer and ceramic artist. I bring a calm, intentional, artful lens to whatever medium I am practicing, including wedding photography. I want images to feel a bit undone, honest, and full of life. The images that would be a treasure to find dust covered in a shoe box years and years from now and would tell an honest story of who you were and how you loved.

Awarded Best of Zola
Not only have I worked weddings with Jessica in the past, but I hired her to shoot my wedding this past September, and it wouldn't have been the same without her. I think that alone says a lot, but Jessica is a pure wizard when it comes to photography. Her skills at capturing all the candid moments with friends and family is impeccable, and she really allows space for your individuality as a couple to shine through (as opposed to canned pose after canned pose). I don't know how she made our photos look like pieces of art in addition to capturing the essence of our relationship, but like I said, she's magic.

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 am absolutely head over heels in love with the stunning photos that I had the privilege of shooting with Kenny. It’s abundantly clear that he possesses an extraordinary talent that truly sets him apart. Kenny’s ability to capture moments is nothing short of remarkable. Each photograph he takes is a work of art, a perfect blend of creativity and technical expertise. His keen eye for detail, coupled with an innate understanding of light, composition, and subject, consistently results in exceptional images. Working with Kenny was an absolute pleasure. His professionalism and dedication to his craft were evident throughout the shoot.

Bree was such a pleasure to work with for both our wedding day and reception on a later date. We had so many adventurous ideas and Bree was on board! We went to a waterfall, jumped in puddles, and ran under rainbows; it rained a lot. The photos she took were so fun and beautiful! She was able to capture all the special/fun moments along with all the family photos that we will cherish! I highly recommend working with Bree. For the nuts and bolts: 1) We had a pre-event meeting to set expectations 2) She clearly communicated timelines for both day-of and when we should expect to get our photos back 3) She was kind and took time to hear what our wants and needs were for the day 4) Her photos are beautiful!

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.

If you are still looking for a photographer (no matter the occasion) stop right now and hire Mycah!! Mycah did our engagement pictures, COVID small ceremony, and finally our real wedding & reception in July 2021...and every single picture is beyond perfect. I am still getting compliments to this day of how wonderful Mycah was during my whole wedding. She knows how to get everyone's attention and listen to her directions for big group photos -even that family member that tries to control the situation! We had a huge group of friends, not a wedding party, and Mycah was able to get the most amazing pictures of the entire group (think 35+ people! ). She thought of every picture that I would never think of asking her to take. She is the kindest, easiest to talk to, most caring person you want at your wedding to take your pictures. We are not the most comfortable people in front of the camera and are super awkward but Mycah makes you feel at ease AND you end up looking so natural when you get your pictures!! I have no doubt that I will be asking Mycah to take photos of my family for the rest of time. She is super talented at what she does and you will love every picture she takes!!

I love capturing the moments that aren't posed or planned but that are special and YOU. I want you to be able to FEEL something when you look at my images. Your special day is unique and should be captured in a way that makes you remember every little moment as it was.

Macie does an amazing job capturing all of those special moments between poses. The moments that are raw and make you feel something when you look at them. The photos that Macie took on my wedding day tell a story and I am forever grateful to her. The photos are beautiful and edited wonderfully. I get to relive my wedding day as many times as I’d like through those photos. Also, Macie is a such a kind and genuine person. She is easy to work with and does an amazing job.

MY APPROACH IS CREATING NATURAL MOMENTS, BUT REALLY CAPTURING THE MOMENTS IN BETWEEN. MY STYLE IS EMOTION-FILLED, RADIANTLY JOYFUL, WARM, AND FULL OF FEELING. You are looking for a photographer that will stand by you as your friend on your wedding day - someone you can trust.

You are ready for an adventure....

Rachel and team was the perfect photographer and I am not just saying that! They made the day so much fun with our wedding party and families and we got the sneak peaks back right away the next week. You can tell she has a ton of experience, she made you feel like you have known each other forever and super comfortable if you are awkward with getting photos taken and just a great person on top of it. Our engagement photos were so beautiful as well. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for A photos and a great experience. Thank you Rachel and team! 3

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.

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!!!

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

This is long because we can’t figure out how to describe how amazing Vick is- If you’re searching for a photographer who is a true artist, will make you laugh, help you remember to take a breath and savor the little moments, aid in corralling your family (including the furry kind of family members) and friends, and go above and beyond in every way to help the wedding process proceed seamlessly seriously stop searching. Andrew Vick is the real deal. He made everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, and did so much for our wedding aside from taking beautiful pictures. He helped everyone coordinate, fixed dresses, captured all the moments we wanted, and especially the ones we didn’t know we would look back at and absolutely treasure. It has taken us a long time to try and write a review that will accurately describe his incredible work, and what a wonderful person he is. This review still doesn’t do him justice. Words can’t describe how amazing our experience with him was.

1000% hands down, you must hire Tiger Lily Photography! I just love love love love love Emily. She just shot our wedding this month. There are no words to describe how much I appreciate her. Down to the smallest details…she shows up with an energy you cannot put into words. She even had a pulse on when I could use a water throughout the day and would deliver it to me without me even asking. She is always one step ahead of anything and truly everything all day long. She is a calming presence, stayed on the timeline without an ounce of stress involved, always checked in to make sure both my husband and I were not feeling rushed. She seriously is the absolute best! The best part is that her photos are absolutely phenomenal and speak for themselves, she is so talented. Looking through our wedding photos allows me to relive the best day ever, all thanks to Emily!!

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding. Thanks, Eivan's!

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
We absolutely loved working with Erica and are so glad we booked her for our engagement photos and wedding. Erica is so personable, professional, and organized. It really felt like we were being photographed by a friend. She had a knack for explaining poses and making you feel like you were born to be a model…we were scared it might be awkward, but it wasn’t in the least. Erica is also extremely communicative and attentive, and she was always telling us to reach out to her if we needed tips for wedding planning. She scheduled several meetings and questionnaires to check in with us and allow us to provide her with a vision of what we wanted on our wedding day. She worked with us to come up with a wedding timeline and made sure to buffer in time for us to relax and just enjoy ourselves which we greatly appreciated. On our wedding day we got so many compliments on how kind Erica was and how she seemed to know everyone’s name. I can’t imagine the prep work that goes in to memorizing names of close family members. Erica is great at directing people to get family portraits done in a timely manner so you don’t have any uncles or cousins getting bored and wandering off. We cannot recommend Erica enough! Less than a week after our wedding, Erica had highlights posted on her blog which included more than 100 photos and the ability to download them. Erica was definitely our favorite wedding vendor to work with, and we are so incredibly grateful that she was part of our wedding day!

Maurissa is such an amazing human being! We could not have asked for anyone better to be our wedding photographer! We knew we loved her the minute we met her for our engagement session last winter. She is very outgoing, friendly and honest! She has been very responsive in communication from the beginning. Maurissa goes above and beyond just being a photographer. She made sure everything was lined up, provided a timeline for all the vendors, made sure to get every "must have" photo. Maurissa also helped make sure we enjoyed OUR day. I was very worried about the timeline and being behind on everything but she made sure to remind me that there is no timeline and this was our special day so anything we wanted she would make happen and the guests would be okay entertaining themselves until we were ready! We also got our sneak peaks back already and are so obsessed and cannot wait to see the rest. Maurissa will definitely be showing up in our future because we love her!!

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.
