MAKEUP ARTIST ONLY Hello! My name is Ashley. I am a professional Minneapolis makeup artist with over eight years of experience. I worked for MAC cosmetics for almost 4 years and that is where I grew as a professional makeup artist. After working for MAC, soaking up all the trainings, learning from the best of the best and doing makeup on many clients, I knew I had what it took to venture off and start my own business. So, I did it afraid: In 2018 I started my own freelance makeup business-Ashley Larae MUA LLC. I couldn’t have done it without my faith in God.

Ashley did my makeup for my maternity/boudoir shoot. I gave her freedom to do whatever she wanted on me as I love makeup. She absolutely nailed the look and made me feel so flawless and beautiful. Ashley is so personable and really pays attention to detail while doing your makeup. I could not recommend her more and can’t wait for another excuse to get my makeup done by her. Thank you Ashley!

I'm just going to say it: your wedding photography experience is not complete without prints on your walls and an album in your hands! That is why I work with all my amazing couples from the time we first meet until they have fabulous keepsake prints in hand. (I mean, you're not taking your photos, so why would I expect you to choose a printer and design your own album?!) I'll guide you through every step so you don't have to worry about a thing! Simply enjoy your day with each other and your loved ones and let the magic in!

Awarded Best of Zola
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

Just got married at Brookview and had the most amazing experience. Kailyn was great to work with, answered all of our questions (we had a lot!), and made sure all of the details were ready to go. There was rain right before the Ceremony and the staff was so proactive about wiping off chairs and helping us make the decision to move our cocktail hour indoors. With unexpected rain on my wedding day, I was so appreciative that they were on top of these sorts of things and I didn’t have to worry. We catered the Taco Bar from Three One Six and got so many compliments on the food. Guests were so happy and it is truly a beautiful venue. Overall, if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. It was a perfect day and a perfect venue. Thank you Brookview!

Studio Veil was exceptionally professional and organized. We never had a single concern about the DJ services leading up to our wedding. What we loved most was Studio Veil’s philosophy—weddings are about the couple, not the vendors. They offered as much or as little support as we needed, allowing us to have as much input over the DJ experience as we wanted. Brent was our DJ, and he was outstanding. In our pre-wedding meeting, we introduced him to a few unique ideas, and he embraced them all without hesitation. We even sent him our playlists just two days before the wedding, and he managed to perfect everything in time. On the day itself, Brent adapted to every last-minute change, flawlessly hitting all cues and keeping our song wishlist front and center. He checked in with us throughout the night in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, quieted the crowd gracefully, and kept the energy flowing without ever making it about him. Brent’s set was brilliant. He began the night with familiar favorites for our older guests and then shifted to a younger, more upbeat vibe as the evening progressed. His transitions were seamless, and he truly read the room perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

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!

Betsey and her team were absolute stars from day one. In a few words, professional, hardworking, and experts. I trusted everything they had to say. I went in to my bridal makeup and hair trial having an idea of what I wanted, but no idea on how best to execute. Betsey took the reigns and worked with my skin to achieve an exceptional look. Her team was incredible with hair too! Giving feedback has always been a little challenging for me, but calling Betsey up a few months before the wedding to discuss some changes to make was no issue. She came prepared with blotting papers, energy, and all the equipment necessary to tame the whole crew - even the ones that wanted last minute lashes and lipstick and hadn't paid yet. Luminous Beauty was on time, set up and tore down efficiently, and were strategic in their timeline for applying things like lipstick to achieve maximum impact for photos. Sitting in their chairs was like sitting in your own little bubble with them. You feel like you're the only person in the room, and they treat you with so much kindness and consideration. My mother and mother in law were not prepared with their look, but with some targeted questions by Luminous Beauty, they were looking like their best selves and were all extremely happy with the outcome. Luminous Beauty also showed us all how to insert and remove my veil which was a little tricker than expected! But we did it and it was an absolute success!. Everyone looked incredible that day, and we owe it all to Betsey and Luminous Beauty. An incredible team.

With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, my passion for wedding photography is inspired by my grandparents’ enduring love; their wedding photos are cherished pieces that guide my work. I strive to create heirloom, film-inspired images that celebrate genuine emotions and joyful moments. I live in a charming Tudor house with my husband, our two little girls, and our cat, Goose. In my free time, I enjoy camping, cooking, and getting lost in a good book.

Stephanie was amazing to work with on our wedding day. She did hair for me and my bridal party. She was very professional and timely. My event was a little away from Twin cities and she was all set up ahead of time to start. I sent her some images of my Pinterest board and she made my vision a reality. I would recommend her any day for an event.

We had the best experience having our wedding at Nicollet Island Pavilion. It was so beautiful! We loved that it had such great outdoor scenery while still being in the city. Morgan at Mintahoe was super helpful throughout the entire planning process, she worked with us through all our custom requests ensuring everything was exactly how we wanted it.

I had no idea my community center was so beautiful! The windows gave the best backdrop, the bar was intentionally placed and detailed to perfection! The space was so beautiful on its own that we didn't have to lug in loads of decorations. The built in spot for the DJ was perfect! Comfortably fit our 175 people for dinner and dancing. The staff was knowledgeable and not overwhelming. Stupid good value! I loved having my wedding here!
