Awarded Best of Zola
We are beyond grateful to have had Cara Winter as our wedding officiant. From the very beginning, she took the time to truly get to know us—our story, our values, and what mattered most to us for our ceremony. What she created was more than we ever imagined: a deeply meaningful, personal, and unforgettable experience. One of the most special parts of our ceremony was the Celtic handfasting. Cara not only explained the symbolism beautifully but thoughtfully wove in elements of our families' heritage, making it feel like a true reflection of who we are and where we come from. It was powerful, emotional, and something our guests are still talking about. Cara’s warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire process feel effortless. She brought so much heart and intention to every word she spoke, and helped us create a ceremony that was truly our own. If you are looking for an officiant who honors your love story and crafts something deeply unique, Cara is the one. We couldn’t have asked for a more meaningful start to our marriage.

Jessica Knighton Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $7,900
  • Serves Hopkins, MN

After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
​Working with Jessica Knighton Photography was hands down one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From the first time we reached out, she was the most helpful a human could be—from walking through a possible timeline before we even committed to hiring her to sending her wedding guide with tips and tricks and suggestions for other vendors and going along with our not-so-conventional pool party engagement shoot, she made two awkward introverts feel so comfortable both with and without her camera pointed at them. Of all the variety of vendors I spoke with, Jess exceeded every expectation in a way nobody else was able to. She was so kind checking in with us throughout the entire planning process, delivered both our galleries so quickly, and most of all DELIVERED with the best photos to help us remember our day. We simply adored every single one of the photos... like, in a wanna lay on the floor and scream about it, sing her praises from every mountain top even though I'm not a hiker, accidentally send her a thousand and one heart-eyed emojis, bend the knee because forget Sansa Stark she is MY queen of the north type of way. They all feel so very "us" in a way that would be almost frightening if it wasn't so impressive. In a year, or five, or ten or fifty, I can't wait to look back and remember all the little details, how much love we felt, and how much fun it all was. It'll be easy to do because it's written in every picture a thousand times over. I would recommend working with Jess in every universe. She's truly the best in the biz. ​Especially if you have a two year old niece as your flower girl who isn't so sure about the whole "photos" thing, because she'll probably be very sure of Jess and even smile a time or two. If you don't believe me, ask literally anybody in my family (we still talk about how great she is a frankly concerning amount).

I am so happy I chose Primped for hair and makeup on my wedding day, I felt like a Princess! I have never had my hair done so perfectly and my makeup so flawless. Primped has a very smooth system and were transparent with their menu and pricing. Having a trial built in to the package for me was huge. Being able to test my style out ahead of time allowed me to not have to be fully with it for my 6am start. Sabrina and Kimmy were outstanding for makeup and hair, respectfully. Even though it was very hot and humid outside and no air-conditioning in the church, my very long hair barely dropped and my makeup stayed perfect all day. I absolutely recommend Primped for all wedding beauty needs!

Their expert DJs are on hand to ensure that your guests live it up on the dance floor from start to finish.

Awarded Best of Zola
Studio Veil was exceptionally professional and organized. We never had a single concern about the DJ services leading up to our wedding. What we loved most was Studio Veil’s philosophy—weddings are about the couple, not the vendors. They offered as much or as little support as we needed, allowing us to have as much input over the DJ experience as we wanted. Brent was our DJ, and he was outstanding. In our pre-wedding meeting, we introduced him to a few unique ideas, and he embraced them all without hesitation. We even sent him our playlists just two days before the wedding, and he managed to perfect everything in time. On the day itself, Brent adapted to every last-minute change, flawlessly hitting all cues and keeping our song wishlist front and center. He checked in with us throughout the night in a relaxed, unobtrusive way, quieted the crowd gracefully, and kept the energy flowing without ever making it about him. Brent’s set was brilliant. He began the night with familiar favorites for our older guests and then shifted to a younger, more upbeat vibe as the evening progressed. His transitions were seamless, and he truly read the room perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The venue and staff were incredibly professional, organized, and helpful from start to finish. I planned my wedding from another state, which can be overwhelming, but Will made the process smooth by guiding me through every step and keeping me on track with clear communication and organization. The food was absolutely fantastic. Many of our guests commented on the generous portions and amazing flavor, my husband and I were actually able to sit down and enjoy the meal. The team was also very accommodating with dietary restrictions and flexible in helping us stay within our budget. The venue itself is stunning, with high ceilings and exposed brick that create a timeless, elegant atmosphere. The only challenge we experienced was during the unloading process. Since we brought in many of our own items, unloading had to be done directly on the street, which was hectic and involved stopping traffic and dealing with frustrated drivers. This could be difficult for couples doing a lot of DIY decor, though it likely wouldn’t be an issue if vendors are handling setup and breakdown. Aside from this logistical challenge, we had an overall wonderful experience.

Welcome! I’m Britt and I am the gal behind the lens at Render Photography. I love traveling, napping, embarrassing my kids, and horses, whiskey, and LOVE. My idea of a life well-lived is one where I get to help others see the love they have in their lives, and to give them something that helps them feel it and remember it more fiercely. I love stories and I’d love to help tell a chapter of yours.

Britt was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. Her planning was seamless, and her communication was clear. We always felt we were in good and trustworthy hands. On the day itself, she fit in perfectly with the mood, striking the ideal blend of hip, professional, fun, and generous. Her coordination was excellent, and she moved through the day with an effortless balance of direction and ease. The photos Britt captured were outstanding. She has a remarkable eye for composition, space, and detail. Her images are deeply felt, beautifully composed, and consistently strong. They created exactly the look we’d hoped for, capturing the energy and emotion of the day without ever feeling staged or intrusive. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and recommend her enthusiastically to anyone seeking a photographer who brings artistry, warmth, and genuine care to her work.
