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!

Hello! I'm Erica and I am based in Minnesota and Wisconsin 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 serving my couples!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t recommend Erica enough for wedding/engagement photography! My husband and I were both very nervous for engagement and wedding pictures as we are both not very comfortable in front of the camera. My husband absolutely hates getting his picture taken and was dreading all picture aspects surrounding our wedding. However, Erica listened to our fears/stress in regards to getting our pictures taken and made sure the pictures went smoothly. She has a way of making you feel comfortable even when doing something that typically makes you very uncomfortable. She has such a fun upbeat personality and showed true excitement for what she does and for us. Her photography style involves a lot of movement and capturing real/natural moments which allowed us to get so many amazing pictures that truly felt like us. I genuinely enjoyed the picture taking process with Erica and never would have imagined that would be the case. As for my husband…in all honesty I can’t say he enjoyed the process of taking pictures but he didn’t hate it -which truly is an achievement (props to you Erica). She made sure he was comfortable but gave him just the right amount of push and encouragement that he needed. Thank you for capturing our special day!

Studio Veil - DJ, Photo Booth & Uplighting

Based in Minneapolis, MN. Studio Veil - DJ, Uplighting, & Photo Booth is a wedding entertainment company that covers events throughout the Greater Minneapolis and St Paul areas. This family-owned and operated business provides to-be-weds with seamless solutions for all their entertainment needs. Their expert DJs are on hand to ensure that your guests live it up on the dance floor from start to finish.

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!

From the trial session to the wedding day, she was professional, attentive, and truly understood the look I wanted to achieve. She worked her magic on my hair, creating beautiful curls and a style that remained flawless from the first photos to last call. Not only did she make my hair look amazing, but she also worked wonders on my bridal party. Each of my bridesmaids had different hair types, and she tailored their styles perfectly, leaving everyone thrilled with the results. Her calm and friendly demeanor made the getting-ready process enjoyable and stress-free. She even helped my sisters learn how to best put in and take out my veil, along with other personal touches for each of us that truly were above and beyond. I received countless compliments on my hair, and I couldn't recommend Stephanie more highly to any bride.

Hey, I'm Bobby! I'm an award-winning wedding filmmaker based in Minneapolis and shooting around the world. I am constantly pushing the boundaries on what a wedding film can look and feel like, and continually pushing myself as an artist. Over the past 17 years, I've had the privilege to capture love stories across the US and beyond and I would be THRILLED to tell your story.

My husband and I went with Redmond Digital Media as our videographer for our June 2022 wedding. I think we were on Youtube, looking for videographers who had experience shooting at our venue and came across Redmond’s videos. We loved the style and most importantly the videos were not cheesy. Bobby and his team were extremely communicative and professional from our first video call to the day we received our wedding video. My husband and I loved our wedding video and would highly recommend Redmond to anyone looking for a videographer!

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.

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
We are SO glad we hired Bonnie for both our engagement & wedding photos! Not only are her pictures gorgeous, fun, and full of natural personality, but she is just a total joy to work with! We were both a little nervous being in front of the camera, but Bonnie made us completely comfortable to be ourselves and made it feel like we were just hangin' with a pal. Our entire family loved her too! She was fun, friendly, respectful, and super great at her job. We all secretly wish we could be friends with Bonnie cause she's one super cool lady and an amazingly skilled photographer! Highly recommend!

Since the beginning, hair and make-up has been my passion as well as being “upside down.” It has been on my mind and a fiber of my being since four years old. I was cartwheeling into hair and makeup for friends and family. Just an active, outdoorsy gal that loves to enhance all beauty.

Had some difficulty with communication in the beginning since I was in Utah planning a wedding for Minnesota, but Sarah was always willing to answer my questions and provide the additional clarity I needed to calm my nerves as well as ensure I was understanding all services provided. The contract could use a little work since that’s where most of my confusion stemmed from, but not a deal breaker. Sarah was personable and fun for our trials and actual day of application, all my bridesmaids enjoyed their looks and how easy it was to ask for personal tweaks to our looks. Highly recommend!

After touring multiple venues in Minneapolis, the Lumber Exchange was the perfect choice for us. Without knowing exactly what our "dream wedding" would look like, the team at the Lumber Exchange guided us through planning in a way that organically created the PERFECT day and night for our wedding. The venue's new chef, Ali, was so incredible and worked with us to make a few changes to an already-DELICIOUS menu (we asked for a lighter sauce to go with the salmon) and the guests said all night that it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! The parking ramp attached to the venue was great for guests to easily access an otherwise-intimidating downtown excursion! The bridal and groom's suites were both beautifully maintained and secure for the day and evening making it so comfortable to get ready and celebrate! Also, between the parking ramp rooftop, the stunning staircase and light shining in from downtown through the massive windows in the Dylan Room, the venue provided so many amazing photo opportunities. We were so at ease for the entire process, and we would recommend this space to anyone looking for a classy venue that is SO well-run, all of the typical stressors one might encounter in planning a wedding are completely taken care of. A special thanks to Hannah Fox who was our assigned (included in the cost of the rental) coordinator and Shannon who was the manager of the building for both our rehearsal and the entire wedding day. They were a dream team one can only........dream of! Attention to detail, charming personalities and complete support of all ideas we had!

Erica was AMAZING to work with! She was able to come to the wedding venue and do three sets of hair, including mine. My hair normally wont curl so i was nervous my hair wouldn’t cooperate because its hard for me to get any styling to stay, but she worked her magic and my hair turned out even better than I hoped! She laughed with us as we got ready and made the morning so enjoyable! Highly recommend using her!!!

Family-owned & operated since 1982, Broders' Cucina's Catering services are here to bring Italy to your table. What started as a humble deli selling fresh pasta, we are now considered a neighborhood institution with three Italian concepts in Southwest Minneapolis. We combine traditional preparations with local ingredients for dishes that are authentic both their Italian origins and our Minnesota roots.

Broders' Catering was a wonderful choice for our wedding. The catering specialist was clear, thoughtful, and professional throughout the entire process. The food they provided was delicious, authentic, and served in good portions. Their drop-off catering service helped eliminate stress during an already busy time, and the plating and presentation of the dishes made it easy for us to serve right away with little to no preparation. The food was not only delicious, but also well-priced for the quality - we even had leftovers! We highly recommend Broders' Catering for any special event.

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!
