I have a passion to share raw and real moments between people. I want to be able to tell stories the way our eyes experience things. Keeping them as authentic as they can be. When you look at my images I want you to be able to feel all of the emotions behind the image itself.

Hannah Kristine Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Her communication style was easy, focused, helpful, and communicative from the very beginning. The quality of her work was truly professional, producing beautiful and special photos that captured all the important moments of our special day. Hannah prioritized making sure I was comfortable and okay on my wedding day, always being so sweet and helpful. She created a detailed timeline and made sure she knew exactly which photos were most important to us. I didn't have to worry about the photography at all during the wedding because I had full confidence that Hannah would be taking amazing shots. She helped us feel confident and natural while she was taking the photos. Overall, Hannah Kristine Photography provided an amazing experience and we couldn't be happier with the beautiful photos we have to remember our wedding day.

We could not have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From start to finish, the energy was incredible and the night flowed seamlessly. He did an amazing job reading the crowd, keeping the dance floor packed, and creating a fun, upbeat atmosphere that lasted all night. The transitions were smooth, the music choices were on point, and everything felt effortless and well-timed. Beyond the music, his professionalism and calm presence made a huge difference on such a busy day. We felt completely confident trusting him with the flow of the night, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the celebration. Our guests are still talking about how much fun they had.

Craig and I picked Emmerlee for our photographer after stalking her underwater photo skills on IG. That is how we knew she was the one for us. She was able to perfectly capture our vision for timeless nighttime city scape photo shoot with a little twist of our own personality. She nailed it! We were so in love with our engagement photos that we knew we would love our wedding photos. Her talent, attention to detail, and fabulous eye helped to capture the ascetic we were going for and letting us be our selves and letting our own personalities show too. Our wedding day was perfect. We are so excited to see our photos, we are also so glad we chose a second shooter. Barclay also killed it, brining another beautiful fun eye that matched our exact wants without us knowing it. You can feel the passion Barclay brings to each shot. Thank you both so much for helping capture the best day of our life!! You were so fun to work with and made us feel like the hottest versions of ourselves ever!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Heather H. through Bellagala Photography. Heather is an absolutely phenomenal photographer, but she's also so much more. She was incredible at communicating leading up to the event, answered any and all questions that I had and was extremely thorough. On the day of the wedding, she absolutely blew us away. She captured the perfect photos, but also consistently checked in with me (the bride) to make sure I had what I needed, reminded me to eat, and helped ease any stress throughout the day. She knew exactly when to step in and take control, keeping everything running smoothly without ever feeling rushed or pressured. She genuinely went above and beyond our expectations and truly made our day even more special. I couldn't recommend her more. She was a pleasure to work with, both as a photographer and as a human being. We already got our samples and are blown away! We cant wait to receive the rest soon!

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Shoreview, MN

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Every member of my wedding party left her chair feeling gorgeous!! 10/10 would recommend!!!

Absolutely incredible! I got the opportunity to see Kastina's vision come to life a few times because she worked with my siblings. Working with Kastina was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding planning process.

We are so glad we had Madison with us on our wedding day. From start to finish, she made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. Beyond capturing beautiful photos, she was also our hype woman! Super fun, encouraging, and such a calming presence. My husband and I are both naturally shy, but she helped us loosen up, taught us how to pose, and kept the energy light all day. Our family and friends loved her energy too, which made the whole experience even better. We first fell in love with her style, and working with her only confirmed that choice. She genuinely cares about her couples and their experience, from sending us a cute film camera to celebrate our engagement, to being such a grounding presence on the wedding day itself. Madison’s planning process had structure and intention, which gave us confidence going in. At the same time, our celebration day-of was more go with the flow and a bit less structured. She followed our lead seamlessly and had really helpful suggestions along the way. It felt like the perfect balance! Madison and our second shooter are extremely talented. They somehow managed to be everywhere at once, strapped with multiple cameras and switching between them seamlessly. In addition to our digitals and film package, we also added Super 8. We still don’t know how she captured so many angles and moments so perfectly! :) The final photo package was just as thoughtful as the rest of the experience: a delicately packaged box with prints, film, and a USB. The mix of digital, film, and Super 8 gave us such a unique, layered way to relive the day. So pleased to get exactly what we wanted. Looking back at our gallery, we’re reminded of both the big emotional moments and the small candid ones we might have missed in the blur of the day. Those are the memories we’ll cherish forever, and we couldn’t be more thankful for the way she captured them! 3

Beautiful space and the staff is phenomenal! Our venue manager, Victoria M., was a dream to work with - she made everything a breeze! Our ceremony involved the transportation and set up of a large amount of personal items/furniture and Victoria found a way to make it happen in the time needed, even on a holiday weekend. She saved the day when the DJ showed up unprepared, and gracefully took charge of a stressful situation. She also helped document the day, which was a surprise to me and it was so lovely to receive her photos and videos the next day. The actual ceremony was a blur so it was truly a gift to be able to experience it through her eyes. This venue is an elegant and historic space, very affordable especially in today's economic climate, they were one of the only venues that was willing to let us do ceremony only as we had an offsite reception, and the staff is just fantastic! I highly recommend!

We had The Riverside Hitmen at our August, 22nd 2019 wedding. They were unbelievable. This was my big splurge, and it was money well spent. Considering we had a piano and cello at the ceremony, a jazz trio during cocktail hour, and a full band with horn section play for four hours at the reception, I feel the price was very reasonable. Kyle was super accommodating. My bride is from Nigeria, and the morning of the big day, she sent Kyle a bunch of African music for the DJ to play during the band's breaks. Even with that late notice, without hesitation, Kyle found all the songs online and had them ready. Having the African music was a nice touch that was very much appreciated by my bride's family. All night long our guests asked, "Where did you find this band? They are amazing!" I booked the band without ever seeing them in person, and I am extremely happy I did. The Riverside Hitmen are incredible. If you are considering booking a band, you cannot go wrong with The Riverside Hitmen. Kyle and the rest of The Riverside Hitmen, thanks for everything. Its almost two months since our wedding, and I still light up when I think how fun our wedding was in large part because of the fantastic live music you provided. Thanks again, Precious and Andy

Like many people, I spent 10 years within corporate America and although I am thankful for my experience, it wasn't feeding my soul. I can be honest and say that I learned so much- my customer service skills, high-level organizational & strategy skills, and my overall work ethic comes directly from my experience within a regular ol' 9-5. However, I've been able to pair what I learned the last 10 years with my passion for photography, and have built this business to provide a stellar experience, the same one I would expect if I were getting married. Below I'll dive into what sets Loui apart, and I hope to hear about your upcoming day!

Hayley and I are wedding videographers (Sublime Exposures Films). We meet photographers all the time and know what it's like to work with normal ones, bad ones, and now even great ones. Meg of LouiPhotography was the most decisive AND remained flexible. She was the most communicative about what she was going to do and why, and was extremely transparent. We're originally from Fargo, and working with her made us want to move to the cities to hang with the real professionals. Thanks for making us feel so welcomed and working with us so well to make our jobs easy. All teams should be able to collaborate like that to make the day the least stressful for the brides and grooms as possible and we shall always strive for this standard.

She even loved the idea of recreating my mom’s wedding day photo, and she captured it perfectly. She was the perfect choice!

Hi I'm Kieran! I'm an inclusive luxury Photographer in St. Paul, MN but I love traveling all over the state! I specialize in Weddings, Couples and Boudoir Photography. I LOVE love! If theres a moment I can capture that involes a loving glance at your partner while you dance on your wedding day or a transformative moment while doing boudoir that makes you remember WHO you are- I want to be the one to capture that emotion <3

I've worked with many photographers, and while most of them were all very talented, Kieran is by far the best. She welcomes anyone and everyone, her quality, her style, and professionalism are top notch. I could never recommend Kieran enough to anyone.

We've been working at Lowlands since they opened and have loved every event with them! As a caterer, the guests don't know the difference between us and the venue. So it's very important for us to be a seamless team with a venue! And that's exactly the relationship we have at Lowlands! They're team players and we're all here to make the clients day the best it can possibly be!
