We booked Andrew Parfenov through Bellagala as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We were looking for a photographer with a strong visual voice and a good mix of non-traditional/dramatic portraits and photojournalistic (candid) photos in their portfolio. Andrew brought the drama, the joy, and so much more! From the get-go, Andrew was a delight to work with - he shot our engagement photos and helped us find and arrange a venue for them - and immediately set us at ease. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect pose. On our wedding day, Andrew took the lead on finding locations for photos around our venue, posing us/our bridal party/our family, and finding moments for candid shots at the reception. Multiple family members have reached out after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed Andrew's approach and how at ease they felt with him. If you're considering Andrew for your special occasion, book him - we can't recommend him highly enough!

We had the best experience working with Andrew! He worked his butt off on our wedding day — calm, composed, and totally open to the (very long!) list of shots I wanted. He remembered which locations mattered to us and made sure we got everything we envisioned. Leading up to the wedding, he was super responsive and easy to communicate with. We had multiple check-in calls, and he was always helpful, professional, and kind. On the day of, he directed us efficiently so we could get our photos done and get back to enjoying celebration with our friends and family without feeling rushed or stressed. He brought such a positive, calming energy and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. He captured a perfect mix of posed and candid moments, and he even coordinated with our DJ, planner, and hair/makeup team to make sure everything flowed smoothly. We recently got our photos back and absolutely love them. It’s clear that Andrew’s work is a step above — the images are not only stunning, but they feel personal, artful, and full of life. He captured the emotion, the fun, and all the little in-between moments we’ll want to remember forever. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to document our day — highly, highly recommend!

the suite seat 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves West Saint Paul, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kristy was the best!! She had a great setup to do my trial in downtown St Paul. She is so easy to connect with. She does a great job collaborating with you on what the final hairstyle should look like. She also helped me coordinate the final timeline with my makeup artist which was a huge help. On the day of the wedding, Kristy was prompt, professional, yet super fun and made the morning relaxing, yet productive! She kept us all on track with our timeline and made sure we went to the wedding all looking fabulous!! I’d highly recommend Kristy to any bride!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kastina Morrison is the epitome of event excellence. We hired Kastina & Co. for day-of (really, month-of) wedding coordination for our outdoor ceremony at a non-traditional farm venue. Kastina dove right in, offering a curated list of 5-star vendors, brainstorming for decor, and setting several meetings to keep things on track. We had a lot of cannabis elements (a very new thing in Minnesota), but Kastina was able to help us find the right partners to stay compliant and classy. The best part, aside from Kastina’s immensely positive and creative spirit, is her organizational skills. She created many invaluable documents, including an incredibly detailed run-of-show that outlined our wedding down to the minute. Every single person, whether it was a vendor, a wedding party person, or a family member, knew precisely where they needed to be when. This document alone was worth its weight in gold as it allowed me (the bride) to enjoy my special day, and helped ease the mind of my anxious MIL (not an easy feat). On the day of, Kastina and her team worked their tails off to ensure things went off without a hitch - including repairing a wind-damaged tent. It could have spelled disaster for our reception, but somehow Kastina saved the day. And I didn’t even know it happened until the very end of the night. She’s just that good. If you’re considering hiring Kastina & Co., do not hesitate. It will be the best decision you ever made. Our wedding even made it into Minnesota Bride magazine thanks to Kastina’s brilliant execution!

He was a joy to work with and the video that he produced brings a tear to everyone's eye who watches it. The quality of the sound and video were excellent.

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

A’bulae is wonderful! My husband and I do not live in town so we chose the Essentials Package with A’bulae so it would make the planning easier. It really did help everything go smoothly! First, the A’bulae venue is gorgeous and perfect for any weather condition (which helped me not to feel stressed!). The people working at A’bulae respond to emails promptly and professionally. They also help lay out a day-of schedule and handle a lot of the planning. They reach out and meet with the couple several times throughout the wedding planning process to put everyone at ease. Another plus is their in-house decorations, linens, chairs, and tables they set up for weddings. They have several options you can choose from. Further, while A’bulae does require you to use their in-house catering, the food is amazing. All the apps and entrees we chose were delicious. Above all, my favorite part about A’bulae is how they allow you to personalize your wedding as you see fit. My husband and I made our own monogram and cake topper, we made a slideshow to scroll during the social hour, my husband played piano, and we did an about-the-couple trivia game on the screens. It was really fun and made the event special and unique to us. A’bulae worked really hard to make this happen. Even when there was a slight technology issue, they called someone to figure out the solution remotely, and they had the problem solved very quickly. The team worked hard to make everything seamless. Overall, we had an amazing experience, and I’m really glad we chose A’bulae.

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!

Loui Photography LLC / Loui Co. was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, Meg was incredibly timely, accountable, and friendly. Her work was simply spectacular - captured every special detail. Meg was more supportive to us on our wedding day than our day-of coordinator, ensuring our timeline stayed on track and that no important moment was missed. Despite Meg's growing popularity this year, we were able to book her at a lower price point but still receive the highest quality service. We cannot recommend Loui Photography enough to any couples looking for an exceptional photography experience on their wedding day.

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.

As wedding planners, The Lowlands is one of our favorite venues to work at. Their communication style is responsive and detailed, which makes planning a breeze. The venue itself is so naturally beautiful, with an upstairs space and a downstairs space that have two different vibes - it's a unique and flexible setting. The catering options are great, and the getting ready spaces are a huge plus. And the staff is next level - they really go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.

The North Garden Theater was such a great place to host our wedding reception and we were so happy to work with Ryan and Tina. During the planning process, all the information we needed was easy to find on the North Garden Theater website or Ryan was able to answer our questions. Leading up to our event Ryan and Tina were there to help in any way and were attentive to our needs. We felt like we were able to make the day our own without paying an arm and a leg. The day of our reception Ryan and Tina made the night smooth so easy. They were attentive to our needs and worked with us and our guests. All of our guests were so impressed by the space and by the North Garden Theater staff. NGT is the perfect space to use if you want to make the day your own and work with a great team. I am so happy we went with NGT.

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.

Cross Lake Media went above and beyond to make our entire engagement seamless. Meredith highlighted our interests during engagement pictures. She met with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything was in order. Her and Shawna kept us on our schedule on the wedding day. Her editing is phenomenal. She lets the natural beauty shine, while adding her artistic style to each picture. She cared for us as a couple, not as “Just another client.” 10/10 recommend!
