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.

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.

  • Serves Mendota, MN

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiropix was a great photographer to work with. We wanted a photographer who was great at candid event shots, and we were very pleased with what Kenny did for us. He requested an initial consult to get to know us and our style, and then a follow-up as the wedding got closer. The day of the wedding everyone was forced to be flexible due to some ill-timed rain/hail, and Kenny was great at getting the families together for portraits between storms. The digital photos were all delivered in an easy user-friendly package. If you are looking for a creative and personable photographer, we recommend Hiropix.

Welcome to a world of modern romance and timeless elegance, where tales of both the young and old are beautifully captured. A picture is worth a thousand words - I'm inspired by the charm of old films reimagined in the present, I weave the old into the new with the timeless elegance and meaning.

Irina is such an amazing photographer. She will go above and beyond for your pictures. We had our wedding day a month ago and words can’t describe how memorable she made our wedding day. Some people may worry about there wedding day pictures, but the moment we began our shoot everyone around us felt welcomed and comfortable. It was truly such a fun time. Before our wedding day me and my husband were both gifted a little gift to the spa from Irina, before our wedding day, and it felt so heart warming to know that your photographer cared about our day as much as we did.

I grew up with a life saturated in creativity. To put it simply: I love my job. My style tends to be joyful, raw, romantic, & bold. I love a deep splash of color in a palette of neutrals and natural light. I love traveling, ethnic food, & ice cream! Getting married myself helped me to realize the importance of wedding photography more than I could’ve imagined. I am also all about printing photos. I’ve shot over 75 weddings, and continue to in Las Vegas, NV, MN, ND, and beyond. I would love to serve you as a part of my journey. All I want is to build a relationship with you, be your third wheel, & send you off with memories.

We were overjoyed with this photographer! She was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable for our engagement photos and wedding photos. Amazing quality of photos, and she got them back to us so quickly. Cannot express how happy I am with everything!

Two Oaks Photography

  • Serves Mendota, MN

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

Where to start on Jake Lanes ability to take AMAZING photos!?! Two Oaks photography is something you’ll want to check out. I randomly came across Jake on the internet looking for someone to shoot Josh and I’s wedding on 10.3.2020. We got an engagement session with him to better get to know him, his style, and see the quality of the photos. The engagement session was so much fun, we actually got fully submerged into the Mississippi river to try and get the perfect shot! Yes, the shots did turn out quite great. Jake is creative, witty, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond. As thrilled as we were about the engagement photos, we were that much more excited about our big day and it being captured! We had Jake, his lovely wife Amanda and actually a videographer which was a total surprise on our big day (a good one). We just got the wedding photos back and am totally blown away by the amazing photos. These are photos Josh and I will cherish the rest of our lives!! Thank you so much for rocking our day Jake and everything you brought to the table. We enjoyed your cheerful attitude and great ideas, God bless you and your family.

I've always been a creative at heart. I thrive when I am able to fulfill my passion of creating something beautiful that others will enjoy. I discovered my love for photographing portraits and couples after taking photos for friends and family, and the rest is history! My passion is to creatively capture the beauty and authentic personality of a person, couple, or family. When I'm not out photographing a couple or editing at my computer, I enjoy going out to the best new restaurant in the city, being outdoors, or planning a trip to a new destination to explore. I'm a lover of coffee, traveling, reading and anything outdoors.

Morey Lindquist Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Mendota, MN

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Morey and Miriam were fantastic to have as first and second shooters on our wedding day. Both my husband and I have large extended families, and our goal was to use the occasion to get everyone together for group photos (pre-COVID). It was a huge hassle, and took FOREVER to get everyone in the right spot but Morey didn't settle for less than great shot (even when people were goofing around and being difficult). Our sunset hour session was amazing. My husband and I are not natural in front of the camera, so I was so thankful we got to work with a photographer who is chill but decisive and who captured some really beautiful moments for us.

Angela Divine Photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angela was fantastic to work with from our introductory conversation, all the way through the entire process. We never had any miscommunication whatsoever. She went above and beyond the call of duty!! We were married on Halloween, and she was happy to spend the holiday photographing our special time. She even did the research to see what it would take to get some full moon shots with us!! Angela was kind and thoughtful with our friends and family during the whole day. Her gentle professionalism is notable. We were able to view a few of her shots, and so far, so good! She is skilled, attentive, and most of all, a sweet person with an eye for detail. We absolutely recommend her to anyone who has an event that needs to be captured in pictures! All the Love! Jonny and Libby.

Milkweed Moments

  • Serves Mendota, MN

Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Studio Veil - Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Mendota, MN

We’re here to help. We’ve talked brides down from ledges, helped caterers break down tables, and pinned boutonnieres onto tuxedos. We’ll laugh, bring the fun, and always keep our heads even when something goes wrong. At Studio Veil, we think of ourselves as ducks on water. We may be crazy kicking underneath to keep things rolling smoothly, but above the water, we’ll always stay calm and collected

If I could give 6 stars, I would. If you are looking for a no-drama vendor, look no further. Not only did Ryan help us take our engagement photos 8 months before our wedding (and it was Ryan himself, not some random photographer), but his team was our entire media-suite for the wedding. From DJ who played all of the songs we had on our list, to a fun photo booth, to taking wonderful video and pictures of our entire special day... he was literally alongside us for all of the documentation of our wedding. As terrible as it is for me to say, thankfully, his team was never in view, never in the way; they captured the intimate moments, the big raucous crowds, and everything in between. Moreover, his involvement goes beyond day-of, as the photo book he created from our wedding now lives on our mantel as a permanent reminder of one of the happiest day of our life. There is no over-selling Ryan Veil or his team. Wedding planning is complicated, and Ryan not only delivered with his artistry, but his organized approach and proactive communication allowed my wife and I to focus on each other instead of worrying that the moment would be captured (which is a big deal because my wife has a terrible tendency to always have her phone out needing to 'capture the moment'). The candid pictures were fire. Also... with the last name Veil, what are you doing choosing someone else?

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!

Light and bright, timeless photographs and videos for weddings and couples. ND, New England & CA based, available for travel. I describe myself as kind of Type A, kind of Type B. When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

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. I could not recommend Macie enough.

Toly Dzyuba Photography

  • Fine art style

  • Serves Mendota, MN

For over a decade, with passion and professionalism, I've had the privilege of documenting legacies for over 250 amazing couples in the most beautiful way possible. I feel incredibly blessed for every ounce of trust placed in me. This drives me to create images that capture joy, emotions, and romance. Available for elopements and destination weddings.

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Toly to photograph our wedding! From the moment we stumbled upon his portfolio, we were captivated by his ability to capture moments with such precision and artistry. His photos struck us as vivid, photorealistic memories that truly reflect how we perceive things in person. Unlike other photographers who we felt were over-editing or altering the natural beauty of a moment, Toly's choices in terms of setting, lighting, and editing style really capture those true vibrant colors while keeps everything authentic and timeless. Our first meeting with Toly for a consultation confirmed our choice. He was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. His pricing was competitive and flexible to fit any budget or event. We did our engagement photos with him, and the results were perfect. That helped us get used to being photographed and find the poses we loved, and Toly delivered the photos quickly so we could use them for our save-the-dates. Closer to the wedding, Toly was a pro at helping us plan the big day, making sure the time and place was right for the portraits to get that perfect natural lighting. His scheduling helped put us at ease that he'd be able to capture all of those key moments, and that we could make sure everyone knew exactly when and where to be for formal photos. During the wedding itself, he was a calm, reassuring presence who organized the big photos really efficiently and professionally, and just captured every little moment perfectly without us needing to worry about a thing throughout the day. Toly is also just a great guy. There was even a moment of crisis (unbeknownst to me at the time) when my wife Katherine had trouble with the zipper on her wedding dress, and Toly was the only one able to fix it! His quick thinking and support were beyond what we could have asked for. Now, as we look back on our wedding day, we have over 800 breathtaking photos that bring back all the emotions, joy, and beauty of that special day. Toly, thank you for everything—you truly made our day unforgettable, and we can't recommend you enough! To anyone reading, my advice would be to just take a look at his portfolio, and set up a consultation ASAP! My wife and I plan to use him for all of our photo sessions going forward.

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.

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!

From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles.

Hello, I’m Rachel! I am a wedding, portraits, and events photographer based in Minneapolis. I’ve been a professional photographer since 2012, and have experience photographing over 300 weddings – not one has ever felt like work. I think I have the best job in the world. My approach is to capture the story of your wedding day, from start to finish. Because no two couples (or weddings) are exactly alike, I customize my approach specific to you. From the moment we connect, it’s my goal to help you feel at-ease. I'll help you plan your day, work with you to find the best locations for photos, guide you through poses, and we'll make it fun!

Ok! Get on her books now because I cannot say enough positive things about Rachel! (As if her photos don't speak for themselves?! Her work is stunning!) Rachel met with me 1:1 and I was super impressed with her knowledge and organization. She was the MVP vendor of my wedding day! You know you have a great photographer when not only are the pictures AMAZING but your family and wedding party are raving to you after your wedding about how awesome she was to work with!

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

We were fortunate to find Ceri as a referral from another photographer and we cannot recommend Ceri's services enough. Not only are our photos incredible but she was kind, compassionate, and kept the day on schedule. My husband and I were worried about family photos since both of us have divorced parents but she has us make a list ahead of time and kept everyone happy and make photos go so fast. We love our photos and are so grateful to have them to treasure forever.

There are never too many questions or emails, because everything I provide for you should be exactly as you envision, but better.

If you are looking for someone to put their heart and soul into taking the most breathtaking photos of your big day, look no further!! CNK Photography is who you want! I loved to see how much care she took in taking the pictures that the couple wanted, kept the day flowing and also was so calm and fun! I 100% recommend CNK Photography to all of my friends and family!

Hey there, I'm Bethany. I love meeting people, celebrating people, and making people feel awesome. My photography is all about authenticity and a sense of adventure! I'm a love-obsessed individual whose passion and joy come from telling visual stories. I use a natural approach to photograph every smile, tear, and embrace shared on your special day. I believe that by being unobtrusive I can capture moments that aren’t staged, and are full of life.

We couldn't be happier with our photos from Bethany! Not only did she bring wonderful energy to our day, but she managed to get every photo we hoped for on our list and more. On a day that could have been stressful and overwhelming, Bethany was a positive and focused presence, and made all of our family and friends super comfortable. We knew we loved Bethany's Kodak-inspired aesthetic, and were so excited when we got our gallery full of timeless, romantic, and beautiful photos. She also turned around a mini gallery for us right away, so we could share highlights with those who couldn't be there on the day. We recommend Bethany to all the engaged couples we know, because she's not only a talented photographer, but someone who really cares about capturing the memories of your special day.

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.

We really enjoyed working with Mariah! She's just so full of love and energy and you can see it through the way she treats her clients. She is never short of creative ideas so if you don't have your own, you're in safe hands! The pictures really tell a story and when you look back through them, it feels like you're re-living your wedding day all over again. You just can't go wrong with Mariah!

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

Cassaundra Cherney Photography

  • Serves Mendota, MN

With 10 years of experience, Cassaundra began her photography journey at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire as a Fine Arts student majoring in Photography. During her time in college, she assisted and second shot for many wedding's and events. In 2014, Cassaundra moved to Arizona on a whim and began her own photography business. The desert and mountains ignited in her a new passion for photography. After a short stint in LA, Cassaundra now lives in Milwaukee with her eight-year-old daughter. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, martial arts, and doing art with her daughter.

My engagement shoot was INCREDIBLE thanks to Cassaundra's vision! We shot at a beautiful Malibu beach during the sunset and she was reassuring, creative, and communicative throughout the process. Our photos were such a hit with my family, that we used her for our wedding and my sister also enlisted her services for her civil ceremony. Cassaundra has become our family photographer!

I’m Bethany. I’m a mom, I love old vinyl, cats and amazing food! I travel as much as possible and live for live music. I recently picked up cycling and you can find me on the trails all around Minnesota in the spring through the fall. I have been photographing weddings since 2010. I have photographed weddings in Minnesota, California, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Iowa and Italy! My passport is up to date! I am so excited to get to know you and hear about your story. Capturing the real moments between a couple is why I do what I do. It's those moments that tell the story of the love that you share with each other.

Our wedding was a small, family-only event at our home. Bethany immediately set everyone at ease and perfectly captured the intimate setting. She was so easy to work with, offering suggestions and creating fun moments with our group. Bethany also photographed our reception, and did a fantastic job spotlighting our guests and the energy of the evening. We appreciated Bethany’s professionalism and skill. The photos of our event are just stunning – they are some of the best photos ever taken of us.

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 love to capture authenticity and personalities! My style is playful, warm, vibrant and true to life tones. And I live for catching candid moments. I want your images to capture your day exactly how your memories go - the laughs, the fun, the tears and more!

Ashley was the BEST addition to our wedding day. She ensured that all the shots we twisted were taken and caught some amazing candid moments throughout the night. She was easy to communicate with and has a form to fill out prior to the wedding to ensure everyone is on the same page. We got our sneak peaks back SO fast and we are so excited to see the rest. I highly recommend using Ashley for your wedding photography needs!

Moments by Danielle Nicole is a light and airy photographer and videographer, serving brides in South Dakota, Minnesota, and open to travel to beautiful destination locations. MBDN leans towards a luxury wedding photographer and fine art type of editing style.

We hired Danielle for our wedding after our original photo/video team cancelled on us 6 months out. As stressful as it was, I’m so glad that happened because Danielle is AMAZING. She is truly one of the sweetest people I have ever met and her light and airy photos are stunning. She is very professional and organized. She loves what she does and it shows through her work. We all know posing for pictures is awkward sometimes, but Danielle made us and our bridal party feel comfortable on the wedding day and it shows in the photos just how much fun we had with her. Danielle actually lives in SD about 45 minutes from my husband and I and we have already discussed that she will be our go to photographer for all our future photo needs. Her prices are beyond reasonable for everything included in her packages. We actually got the same amount of coverage as the original team we hired, but for about 1500 less which is huge when planning a wedding! If you’re looking for a photo/video team reach out to Danielle, you won’t be disappointed!
