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

“Emily means it when she says she will be your storyteller and biggest cheerleader! I audibly gasped when my husband and I first opened the sneak peaks to our wedding photos. She so beautifully captured the sweet, wholesome and hilarious moments between ourselves and our family members. From my husband cleaning up my knee after I gracefully fell to the tender joy on my mom’s face as I shared a dance with my dad. She fully understood the assignment and clearly embraced our personalities and love. Before the big day, she helped us to feel comfortable, silly and authentic during our engagement shoot. Yes, we even had a little fun with some department store styled photos just because! Emily is one of a kind as a human, artist and professional! We are so grateful for her!”

Brackett's Crossing Country Club

5.0

“If there’s one thing you should know about South Asian weddings, it’s that they’re not small. We estimated a guest list of about 300-400 people, and with us being Muslim, an additional factor that really came into play was ensuring that our catering was able to be made Halal, which you can think of as meal preparation similar in rigidity to Kosher preparation, but according to Islamic guidelines. I made a call to Brackett’s Crossing, and was greeted by Elizabeth (Liz) Revak and Kendra Simonis. They had informed me that Brackett’s can accommodate 300-400 guests for an event and that they accommodate a Halal menu, provided that it is still through Brackett’s Menu and their kitchen. Historically places that I’ve toured that did that, and weddings I attended where South Asian food is not on the normal menu usually does not hit expectations. Kendra and Liz had told me that if I was available, that they had an open house in the winter and that their full menu would be on display, alongside some of their preferred vendors- and that attending would give us a fuller picture of what the food would look and taste like. My family and I went, and were WOW’ed by their presentation, hospitality, organization, and of course, how delicious their food was! Speaking to Liz and Kendra and having tried the menu and knowing that it could be made Halal, we were super intrigued but not yet settled on having them do our event. What followed was me barraging the two of them with phone calls and emails, and them meeting every one of my questions with thoughtful, kind, respectful answers that showed a serious dedication to their craft, and conveyed the passion with which they do their jobs- and frankly, go above and beyond. They started by giving me several pamphlets worth of information on anything I’d ever want to know about hosting an event there, and when I started asking about requests like modifying the space/event to accommodate our cultural and religious values they were so beyond helpful, insofar as knowing the direction of Islamic prayer relative to their venue, knowing key customs in Muslim and South Asian tradition, being able to turn over spaces in the building for prayer time, accommodating our diets, and even being able to accommodate in case we needed a horse! The space itself is lovely, the ballroom is incredibly grand and very well lit from their wall to wall windows, and the outdoor gardens and photo areas are phenomenal. As a bonus, the patio space outside was perfect for cocktail hour and for guests to hang out at night. The organization of the event went really smooth, as they work very closely with all of your vendors and have spreadsheets/meetings to help you (should you choose to utilize them) and will make sure to provide you the exact appropriate amount of organization you want so as to not over or underwhelm you. When it came time for the day of, Kendra and Liz went above and beyond, and were personally on site to oversee the success of the event. The staff, both in the kitchen and the servers tending to the guests were all pros, and kept the event running efficiently- turning over the photobooth, dessert tables and dinner and making sure that my wife and I were not bothered at the sweetheart table (and had a plate of food!) GO WITH BRACKETT'S. You won't regret it.”

Dan was very responsive and professional in all of our communications leading up to the big day, which we really appreciated while planning a hectic wedding! The DJ himself was organized, prepared, and talented. He set up beautiful uplighting around our venue that really enhanced the atmosphere. Even though we didn't have a big dancing crowd, he was still able to keep the energy and vibes upbeat with his music selections while folks mingled and conversed. Overall, we were very happy with Only Toons - he delivered a high quality service and contributed positively to our special day.

“Working with RS Florals for our wedding was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Rachel was incredibly thorough, responsive, and reliable throughout the entire planning process. The communication was top-notch, and she really took the time to understand our vision and preferences. The quality of work was exceptional and the flowers were absolutely beautiful and exceeded our expectations. You can tell that Rachel is so passionate about her business and she went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. As a new business, RS Florals may not have the same name recognition as some other florists, but don't let that fool you. Rachel is a true professional who is dedicated to her craft. I would highly recommend RS Florals to any couple planning their wedding. Weddings can be stressful, but Rachel and her team took any stress around the florals completely off our hands.”

RS Florals was founded by me, Rachel — a Minnesota native with a lifelong love for creating meaningful, beautiful things. After studying retail merchandising and communication at the University of Minnesota and working in fashion in New York and Chicago, I felt drawn back home and back to hands-on creativity.

I never fail to laugh really loudly or really quietly with that little weezy noise, dance crazily to songs that someone would usually slow dance to & of course to ones that have a solid beat, I sing when I talk & am the person who sings a song that goes with what someone is saying (kind of like a Pitch Perfect riff off, but only with myself), and I wholeheartedly love what I get to do everyday.

“Kerri Ann was communicative from the start of the whole wedding process. She helped us, as we were wedding planning, make a mock schedule of how the day could flow. She was always willing to go the extra mile for us. She accomendated us when we said we wanted our engagement photos in Duluth, Minnesota. We met with her a couple of weeks before the wedding to make a plan of all the different photographs we wanted as a couple and she was attentive and made notes to ensure we got all the photos we wanted for our special day. On our wedding day, Kerri and Ava, helped so much with us staying on schedule and getting all the photos we wanted. Ava helped get all the groomsmen photos while Kerri got all the bridal party ones. Having 2 photographers helped so much on the day of. We got our photos back really quickly and they all turned out amazing. It's hard to pick a favorite as well as which ones we'll want to hang up since we love so many of them. Thanks so much, Kerri and Ava, for all you did on our wedding day!”

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!

Plain and simple, we just love being a part of your love story! We love to hear how you met and live the greatest day of your lives, thus far, with you! We love to make memories and have them to help you relive even the smallest details of your day, over and over again.

“Agape Moments was so great to work with! Our engagement photos and wedding photos came out beautifully. Sarah was so nice to work with. The process and communication was easy. I would definitely recommend Agape to anyone!!”
