She made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I showed her photos of what I liked on Pinterest, and she was able to create the perfect bridal look for me! Not only is she extremely talented, but she is one of the kindest and most genuine people I have ever met. She flew in for our big day despite having just lost two family members. When people entered my hotel room to find us chatting whilst I was in the "makeup chair", they asked us how we had met each other and how long we had been friends! :) That is the kind of warmth she exudes. I will forever be grateful to McKinzee for making me feel so special on my big day - I felt like a movie star. Don't hesitate- book with Roxee and ask for McKinzee!!!

"We had our wedding on Oct 3rd, 2025 at a new barn venue in Northern minnesota, Northwoods Events. It was VERY remote. Many other DJs said no, they either wouldnt do it, couldn't. Or their prices were 4k to 6k. Enter DJ Sound Productions. Our DJ was Luke! Our ceremony was in the middle of no where! They had the speakers with wireless mics for amazing sound out in the woods! The woods! It was our dream ceremony and location and they made it happen. When this went sideways with the time line, our DJ got things going, he played every song we requested, and guests stayed longer than expected! They were VERY thorough in the planning, and our final meeting put it all together! What an amazing experience and the ability to bring it all together by our DJ and this company, thats priceless, but they did it at an affordable price for us. Every penny is worth it and we are forever grateful!"

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!

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.

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!

We had the pleasure of working with Lisa who is absolutely amazing, and willing to help whenever we needed her! Not only did my husband and I have a great night, our guests did too. We can’t thank The Refuge Golf Club enough for making this day something we will never forget! Love, The Kerschner’s

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

Wish I could give this venue an even higher rating!! The owners, Brad and Louise Madison, are truly two of the most kind and genuine people you will ever meet. They are extremely easy to work with and will do anything to make your day go perfectly! Our wedding was last Friday and Brad and Louise made sure everything went smoothly and was stress-free. Plus the venue is absolutely gorgeous, which is a result of how much passion and hard work these two have put into it!

Little Mac Design

  • Photographer

  • Serves Forest Lake, MN

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.

From the moment we booked Little Mac Design, their communication was excellent. They were very responsive to all of our questions and requests. The quality of their work was amazing - we absolutely love the way our wedding photos turned out! The photographer was so hands-on and made me feel so special on our big day. I also love her personality and how flexible she was when I wanted to change a few things. You can really tell how compassionate she is about her work, and the photos truly do show that. Thank you so much to Little Mac Design for making our special day even more incredible!
