Danielle Christensen Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Hayward, MN

I believe the best photos happen when you’re being your self—laughing, connecting, and savoring life’s little moments. My goal as a photographer is to make you feel comfortable and supported, so those moments can shine through naturally in every image. I fell in love with photography because it allows me to preserve memories that you’ll look back on and feel all over again. Whether I’m capturing the magic of your wedding day, the chaos and joy of family life, or the individuality of a graduating senior, I’m here to tell your story in a way that feels uniquely you. I am based in Minnesota but am available for worldwide celebrations.

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

Loui Photography LLC / Loui + Co

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Hayward, MN

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard. Hope to work with you again soon!

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!

Maddie & Hannah flew to Connecticut to photograph my wedding. They were the MVPs of my day. They truly made sure I had every single thing I needed throughout the day. They jumped in and helped create my DIY bouquets, picked up McDonalds for the entire bridal party, made sure all of my belongings made it back to my hotel room, and even cleaned my wedding earrings. Maddie and Hannah moved my morning along seamlessly and I don't think I would have gotten through the day without them. It took about 3 days to get my photos back and they were STUNNING. We took moody flash photos in my castle venue and we are seriously obsessed. I received so many compliments on my photos! All friends and family also commented on how EASY it was to work with Maddie and Hannah. You cannot go wrong booking them for your wedding or event. They are gems of humans. Love them!!!

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
Meredith is amazing! She's so easy to work with, she kept up with my neurotic emails and texts. She's great at communicating all details and scheduling. She is just the most down to earth soul you'll meet. She did a fantastic job at corralling my family for our group picture. I have a HUGE family, and it's not easy to get us all in one spot (especially with children and babies all over) But Meredith was so patient with us. She managed to get AMAZING shots in the chaos. Everyone loved her aura. She really captured the love that was shared that day. I am forever grateful for her capturing our special day.

Time flew and we went longer than expected, but he was gracious, easy to work with, and didn't allow anything to stress him out. Choosing Prest1ge was the best decision we could have made!

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.

Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a wedding photographer located in Wisconsin (but traveling anywhere!). I believe photography is a way to return to moments otherwise passed. It's a way to freeze time, emotions, and memories. I started my business at a young age, and have loved every second of it! Through ups and downs, photography has always been my passion, and I truly believe I have the best job in the world. When I'm not taking photos or editing at my computer, you will find me hanging with my husband, binging a 90's sitcom, reading Harry Potter for the 100th time, playing with my two cats, or caring for my very many plants!

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!

Hi! I'm Caitlin and I love working with couples who are also excited about starting their new adventure! I love capturing your story through photos so that you can have them for life. My goal is to always serve you well in all areas of your wedding or elopement! I love capturing love! It is my absolute favorite! I will go anywhere you need me to go - just let me know where and when. Let's go have some fun together!

My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

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 looking for images that you can show your kids & grandkids someday - images that have a story that goes with them! You are ready to let loose at your session, and be completely yourself. 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 take the time to get to know you—what makes your love story unique—and bring that to life in your proposal or wedding. Whether you want picture-perfect, luxe poses or prefer a more intimate vibe where a hug says it all, I’ve got the experience to capture it. From intimate elopements to grand celebrations, my goal is to create a personalized experience that reflects your love, your way.

Katrina from KJensen Images was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From the very first call, she helped us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, guiding us through poses and shots with ease. Katrina is hands down amazing at what she does - she can take your vision and turn it into lifelong memories. As a couple of newbies when it comes to photo shoots, Katrina made us feel like pros throughout the entire process. I highly, highly recommend her for all your photography needs!

I've been a wedding and portrait photographer for almost 8 years. I was drawn into weddings after shooting my first one and loving how fun it was to hang with people on their best day ever. They're surrounded by their family and friends and so much love and happiness. I feel very fortunate to have a job that I love so much, that it doesn't feel like work. I'm married to my favorite person in the world and we love to travel. We have 3 kids, one son in law and 2 little grand babies that we completely adore!

You don’t know it yet, but you need Julie. She is absolutely amazing. Stop your photographer search here and choose Julie. She makes you feel so comfortable and that you’ve know her for years. Her passion for photography does not go unnoticed. Julie’s photos are of high quality and we absolutely love the natural brightness of her edits, even on gloomy days. Julie was so so easy to contact, was flexible and literally took stress off my plate. I cannot thank her enough. She was a huge part of our big day and wanted to make sure everything went as planned. She’s like a personal attendant and photographer and best friend all in one. You need Julie. We cannot wait to work with her (and her husband and team!) again! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Hankinson, ND, with ties to Minneapolis as well, so I am in MN often and will gladly come wherever you are! I love the all things outdoors, especially forests and couldn't live without coffee.

From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was great - they were incredibly responsive, reassuring, and clearly passionate about their craft. On the day of the wedding, they were quick, flexible, and creative, capturing unique and memorable moments that we'll cherish forever. The final photos were simply amazing - the quality of their work is truly comforting, and we're overjoyed with how they helped make our special day so perfect.

True Visionaries that believe all love matters. We're Megan & Alec, A Midwest based Photo + Video duo ready to capture and tell your stories as we see them. We are lovers first and parents second, but both are equally as important. With those relationships as the foundation to our lives we understand more than anything the importance of a singular image or film. The tangible gift that we get to create with you and your loved ones is completely priceless and we hope that we can encapsulate emotions while holding space for you during our time together.

Beyond amazing. Megan & Alec are incredibly caring & talented visionaries. What they do the day of a wedding to ensure everything goes smoothly is way more than I could have ever expected. From video calls, to timeline creation, to helping with small details you would never even think. They are both super attentive & great listeners. We received a small preview the day after our wedding & are even more in awe of their work now than we were before. 10/10 in every way possible & I wouldn't hesitate to book them for any life event or photoshoot. What they are able to do together as a team is just truly out of this world & I am SO GRATEFUL they were the ones to capture our most memorable day yet.

Father. Husband. Quiet, creative type. I love creating wedding videos because the pure happiness and joy that every couple experiences never gets old. I've always been enamored with capturing raw emotion. That's why I like to joke that I'm a wedding ninja; I like to work in the shadows. I don't do too much set-up or too many poses, because I want you to be you. I also will do everything I can to make sure your wedding day goes flawlessly. I've been known to fasten boutonnieres, hold babies and save ceremonies from audio troubles.

Loved their personalities. Made the experience feel effortless and fun. My husband and I don’t typically love photographs of ourselves and although we haven’t received our final photographs, we got to see some along the way, and let’s just say we can’t wait to see the rest!! We are so glad we decided to use them for our special day.
