Madison + McKenzie are best friends turned business partners. Since 2017, Mckenzie + Madison has photographer more than 65 individuals. In 2017, Mckenzie received a Canon Rebel T7 camera as a Christmas gift. This began the journey. As a senior, she was taking photos of other friends and family. One of these seniors included her best friend, Madison. Since then, they have been inseperable! About a year later, Mckenzie asked Madison if she would want to start a business together. Of course, Madison said yes.

From the moment we first reached out to Lavenderie Photos, we were impressed by their calm, collected, and patient communication style. Madi, our photographer, was incredibly understanding as we wrangled our large families for photos, taking the time to ensure each shot was perfect. The final photos were absolutely outstanding - beautifully capturing all the special moments of our wedding day. Lavenderie Photos' work was truly flawless, and we are overjoyed with the perfect memories they have provided us. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

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!

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

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!!

At Charby & Co, we believed your love story is too important to not be captured how it feels. While we prefer to be sharing your stories, here's a little bit about us as your husband and wife photo+video duo! Jasmine is a California born and bred photographer with over 7 years of experience shooting weddings. While on lockdown in March of 2020, she met a photojournalist from Minnesota named Jacob. After years of watching Jasmine in the business, Jacob joined as a wedding videographer to put his experience as a storyteller to work. We now travel as a couple to capture love across the states, no travel fees wherever your wedding is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jasmine and Jacob were a DREAM to work with the day of our wedding. We told them what our vision was and they above and beyond delivered. My husband and I are both very awkward people who hate having our pictures taken/posing, and we did not feel posed for a single moment. It felt like they weren’t even there. The products themselves are unbelievable. Our vision was brought to life exactly, better than we had hoped, and we have not stopped getting compliments on the photos. I’d like to add - Jasmine also did our engagement photos, and a boudoir photo shoot (for me) on top of the wedding and she delivers every. Single. Time. I genuinely could not recommend these two enough!

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.

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.

Hi, I'm Kellie! My inspiration comes from my faith, my love for people, and my parents' marriage of almost 40 years. It brings me so much joy to celebrate others. My couples typically describe me as bubbly, organized, and personable. I like to consider myself less like a vendor and more like a friend!

We truly hit the jackpot. Kellie was an absolute gem throughout the whole day, and she really didn’t feel like a photographer - she felt like an old friend. This made what was supposed to be a busy and chaotic day, a calm and steady one. She made sure my husband and I, along with everyone else included in the photos, were comfortable, happy, and excited. She made the whole process of taking photos, seem easy. I could not have been more thankful to have her as a photographer. The pictures turned out so much better than I could have imagined, you can truly see how much hard work she puts into these galleries. Our wedding day wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was without her, and her genuine personality! I will always be the one to recommend her when ever someone I know is getting married. Thank you, KELLIE! You were absolutely amazing and every time I look at our photos I just get overwhelmed with gratefulness to you.

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!!

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!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Rachel as our wedding photographer! She was willing to accommodate our 2-day schedule, with photos at multiple locations including a courthouse and a brewery, and really listened to our vision for the events. She was great at making us and our guests feel comfortable (and look good) in photos. She’s a kind person and worked well with our other vendors to coordinate timing. We really appreciated that she sent us lots of preview photos quickly. It took a while to get all the final photos but they were worth waiting for, and the keepsake box she sent with our USB was so special. We’d highly recommend hiring Rachel!

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.

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.

I and my family have worked with Jamie at Stylized Imagine Photography for a couple of years. We first learned of her through a friend while planning our wedding in June 2018. We connected with her through Facebook and she responded to us within the hour and had us planned for a sit down meeting the week following. She spent the entire day with our bridal party taking photos of hair and makeup to dance ending goodbyes. The photos were beyond words. She captured the special moments of the day in each and every photo. We were so happy with how she shot our wedding that we used her for our family Christmas photos and have scheduled maternity sessions with her. Jamie is the greatest!

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time.

What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James
