Valerie was amazing to work with! She photographed our wedding and was so kind and detail oriented. The photos came out great, and she was more than happy to adjust some of the editing for us when we asked! We even purchased the package that included scrapbooks and we procrastinated following up with it, but over a year later she was still eager to make them for us and hand delivered them to our door with the sweetest note and goodies. Anybody would be lucky to work with her!!

My passion for wedding photography stems from my love of storytelling. Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day. Being in Business for 6years with over 120 Wedding shot across the country.

KP was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the moment we booked them, the photographers were patient, accommodating, and clearly understood what we were looking for. They asked all the right questions upfront to ensure they captured our vision perfectly. On the day of the wedding, both the photographers and videographer were awesome - they worked hard to make sure we got every shot we wanted and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I can't say enough good things about how they contributed to our special day. We are thrilled with the final photos and video, and would highly recommend KP to any couple looking for top-notch wedding vendors.

  • Serves Mankato, MN

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the power of a single moment to tell a whole story. As a wedding photographer, I get to capture those fleeting, special moments that make each couple's love story unique. With over 4 + years of experience, I blend artistry with technical skill to create images that are not only beautiful but deeply meaningful.

5 STAR REVIEW! We had such an amazing experience with Prest1ge Photography! It was a toasty, sunny, fast-paced wedding day, and Caleb remembered to do all the shots we had asked for, and many more at a comfortable pace. 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!

  • Serves Mankato, MN

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.

Jason "Snorlax" Cun is an all around photographer that currently resides in Los Angeles, California. He was raised in the heart of Los Angeles, where he found his calling in photography. He aims to capture the beauty of the world and the people in them. He has recently begun his travels around the U.S capturing the life of those within that city.

Five stars all around for honestly the best human and wedding photographer. We did three shoots with Jason since his pricing is so fair. We loved all of them! He’s so good with seeing the perfect backdrop where you’d never think one exists. And it was so meaningful to watch his style develop over the years that we’ve been working with him. We hope to always lean on him to capture our special occasions and moments. Thank you Jason from the bottom of our hearts for helping us hold onto the best times of our lives!

Capturing your story and making your memories last forever is why I love what I do. I get to meet new people and experience their life for a brief moment. Learning about who or what they love. Sharing memories and experiences together.

Alex Rae Photography was a wonderful photographer for our wedding day. Alex was quick to respond to emails and phone calls, always providing clear communication. On the wedding day, Alex was able to go with the flow when needed but also confidently take charge to guide us through portraits. The photos turned out beautifully, capturing all the special moments. Alex made the entire process easy and comfortable. We felt at ease in front the camera and the photos reflect the joy we felt. The quality shows in the final edited photos and the value was well worth the cost. We would highly recommend Alex Rae Photography for your wedding or special event photography needs.

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Awarded Best of Zola
Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family.

  • Serves Mankato, MN

Hello! While I have always had a passion for photography it wasn't until 2012 that I realized how much I TRULY loved it. My husband handed me a DSLR camera and I started calling on my friends to do photoshoots. Next thing I knew, Markina B. Photography was born and it's been going ever since. What I love about being a photographer is that I get to see emotions, expressions, memories and joy-fullness through my lens. I get to capture and create art out of it for my clients to hang on their walls or to give as a gift. Photography is my true passion in life and I will never not love it.

Markina is absolutely amazing in every way! My (now) husband and I met with Markina to discuss engagement and wedding photography, which is something that we were extremely anxious about because we wanted the best! After our initial conversation with Markina, we immediately knew she was the one! Markina helped us with our timeline, setting up our photo lists, and she took the most amazing pictures!! My husband and I are normally not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Markina made us feel completely at ease. She guided us through each pose and kept everything moving smoothly. We are so pleased each time we work with her. Markina’s positive nature and flexibility in her work make her the best photographer to work with. I recommend Markina B. Photography to everyone!
