On the day of, she handled all the people and timelines smoothly without ever making it stressful. She made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We honestly forgot she was there half the time (in a good way!), but somehow she still got every single shot we wanted. Even when it started raining, she rolled with it and turned it into some of our favorite photos of the day. The turnaround time for getting our photos back was way faster than we expected, and we’ve gotten so many compliments on how beautiful they look. We’re so glad we went with Devyn and can’t recommend her enough!

Of course the actual hair and makeup on your wedding day is extremely important but your artist is going to be there for multiple hours of your day so the personality of your artist is just as important in my opinion! Not only is McKinzee unbelievably talented but she just brings such an amazing and fun energy! She felt like a friend! She did exactly what I asked for and did the perfect hair and makeup for my features! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life!

Keighla’s Fresh Face Photography has been all about real connection, genuine moments and photos that feel like you. I bring years of experience and a love for creativity into every shoot, but what really lights me up is getting to know my couples and turning clients into friends. I’m not just here to take pretty pictures—I’m here to get to know you. Like, real actual friends kind of know you. My goal isn’t to build a portfolio, it’s to tell your story, exactly as it felt. I bring a calm energy to the day, help build a relaxed timeline, and make sure the focus stays where it belongs: on you two soaking it all in and having the best day ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning, Kaleigh brought a calm, steady presence that allowed us to feel completely at ease on our wedding day. Looking through our photos, we’re struck not only by how beautiful they are, but by how genuinely they reflect the emotion and atmosphere of the day. Kaleigh has an incredible ability to capture quiet, meaningful moments alongside joyful movement and celebration. The natural light, thoughtful composition, and attention to detail give our photos a timeless quality that feels effortless rather than staged. Every image feels intentional and true to how the day actually felt. What truly set Kaleigh apart, though, was her professionalism and composure. We experienced a few unexpected moments during our ceremony, and she handled everything with such grace and discretion. If it affected her at all, she never let it show - and even more importantly, she made sure we never felt it. Her calm presence allowed us to stay fully present, which meant more than we can put into words. Kaleigh was attentive without ever being intrusive, supportive without drawing attention, and deeply respectful of the emotions of the day. These photographs don’t just document our wedding they absolutely preserve the feeling of it. We are incredibly grateful for her care, artistry, and professionalism, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for photographs that feel both refined and deeply personal.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Tracy & Kyle are fantastic artists and teammates! They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! They sent a few samples that showed the quality and attention to detail, and the remaining complete albums were sent within a week! So fast but so much attention to detail and great editing. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well!

I am absolutely obsessed with how my wedding flowers turned out! After just one meeting with Candi she understood my vision and brought it to life better than I even imagined. She was fantastic with communication and was very accommodating with my color specificity. The flowers lasted perfectly, even though it was a hot and humid day. The magnet boutonnieres were the only exception, this may have been because of the flowers being too heavy for that style. She was last minute willing and able to accommodate dropping off personal flowers at a nearby location before setting up the arrangements at the church. Candi is very talented at arranging florals and compiling the most beautiful flower combinations.

Megan was very helpful in creating my perfect bouquets and pieces based on my inspiration photos, and even hand-picked some special flowers from her own garden to include. I would highly recommend Florwegian Floral to any couple looking for a florist who will bring their wedding day vision to life in the most beautiful and thoughtful way!

Noe at Viva La Fiesta did an absolutely incredible job as DJ and MC at our wedding. We had a few meetings with him prior to our special day where he came organized and prepared to discuss all of the important songs and overall vibe that we were going for. Our wedding was a beautiful mix of central Minnesota and South Texas cultures, and we expressed wanting the music to cater to all of our loved ones in attendance. We had cumbia, salsa, country, Chappel Roan, bachata and all of the fun music of today! It truly was perfect. I can’t say enough how grateful we are for Noe and his ability to read a crowd and deliver a great party. No matter what you’re looking for, Noe at Viva La Fiesta is your guy!! Leia and Taylor

We truly could not have asked for a more perfect wedding venue or experience. The venue itself was absolutely stunning - intimate, beautiful, and the perfect backdrop for both our celebration and our photos. Brad and Louise were incredible to work with and supported us every step of the way, taking the time to walk us through each part of the day and keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. Brad also served as our MC and did an amazing job keeping the energy up and the party going all night. The photos they captured are absolutely breathtaking and are memories we will cherish forever. Our wedding day was one of the best days of our lives, and we are so grateful to have had such an amazing venue and team be part of it.

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.
