  • Serves Excelsior, 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.

“​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!”

My method includes learning about my clients to establish trust, while adding an abundance of energy and ideas to showcase epic portraits and real moments throughout the day.

Her unique style is exactly what we were looking for and she caught precious moments throughout the wedding as well as captured the absolute must-have shots as well. She made sure the day was structured so that we got all the type of photos we wanted to have. She also was absolutely INCREDIBLE the day of the wedding and how comfortable she made everyone feel. She honestly felt like part of the group and was a huge hit at the wedding. I can’t recommend Penny enough.

Here at Vick Photography, we want to give you the ultimate wedding experience from start to finish. We live for the happy moments that keep you curious and we are here to listen, laugh, and create intentional photographs for you. I have been photographing weddings for over 15 years and can't wait to bring you into our Vick Photography family.

“We hired Vick Photography for our wedding and Andrew delivered solid work from start to finish. He showed up with positive energy and a cooperative spirit that made the day feel smooth. Andrew takes a high volume of shots to ensure nothing gets missed, which gives you confidence in the coverage. That said, communication before and after the wedding was slower than we hoped, and during the day it felt like the direction was mostly his call rather than a collaboration with us. He's clearly experienced and skilled at what he does, though the process felt a bit more transactional than personal. If you're looking for a seasoned photographer who will capture your day reliably, Andrew is a solid choice—just know that you'll want to discuss your vision upfront since he doesn't ask for much input once the day begins.”

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Excelsior, MN

I love working hand in hand with couples to capture pure moments of love, laughter, and emotion. For me there is no cookie cutter wedding, each wedding is unique and should narrate the story of the couple's relationship. I work with my couples to find hobbies and/or pastimes they share that are special to them. We find fun and unique ways to integrate it into their photos making for a highly personalized and enjoyable experience.

“Matthew is INCREDIBLE! We fell in love with his vibrant photos and use of color, and after meeting Matthew in person, we knew we found the best person to photograph our nerdy, gay wedding! He took our engagement photos and we so felt so comfortable going into the big day, and even then he exceeded our expectations. Our photo list was big, and he got through it and ensured we got all of the photos we wanted. He checked in on us throughout the day, got us water when needed (didn't even have to ask, it was just suddenly there which was fabulous), and had great energy that our guests loved. When we first met Matthew, I told him I wanted to see his detail pics because I love detail pics- he remembered that and I am IN LOVE with all of our photos of the people who celebrated with us, but also the photos of the small details that we worked so hard on. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Matthew- top notch energy, quality photos, and overall human. He truly went above and beyond for us, and I am happy to say we have found our photographer for life! Also well worth getting a second shooter - both Maddie and his assistant were wonderful and our guests loved them as well. Extra bonus points that we got our pictures back in less than 2 weeks.”

“We had an incredible experience working with Chris for both our engagement session and our wedding day. From start to finish, he exceeded every expectation we had. For our engagement photos, he made the entire shoot so fun, especially because we were able to include our pets. They turned out beautiful. It was the perfect start to our wedding journey. On our wedding day, he was just as impressive. Not only was he punctual and professional, but he also took the time to review our shot list and make sure we stayed on schedule. We took photos before the ceremony and family photos afterward, and he worked so efficiently that we actually ended up early to our reception. We received 50 sneak peek photos by Monday, and they were absolutely stunning. We love that he gave us access to all of the photos he took- he gave them to us on a flash drive and gave us a drop box link so we could immediately share it with friends and family. One of our favorite parts of working with him is that we get to keep all the photos he took, not just the edited ones. It truly feels like we get to relive every moment of the day. With his experience (including having shot at both of our venues before), he made everything feel effortless. We never had to worry—he knew exactly where to be, what shots to prioritize, and how to capture our day perfectly. We are so grateful we chose him and can’t recommend him enough.”

Her experience showed in every frame, and we were blown away when she sent us the preview in the first week after the wedding.. The photos look incredible and captured all the moments that matter.

“My wife and I got married in June 2023. We met with a few photographers and never had a doubt it would be Jeff! Organized. First and foremost the pictures need to look good, sure. However, that all depends on if everyone is where they need to be in a timely manner. Jeff did a great job keeping everything organized but in a very nice way. Other weddings I've been in people seem to be rushed and the pictures show that, but that's not the case here. The photographer needs to be "on it" and Jeff certainty is. Creative. My wife and I look back on our wedding photos often. I believe a huge part of that is how different and unique each photo is. It was great taking pictures at so many different locations to let Jeff's artistic side really show! Professional. Jeff was always willing to meet and plan with us as much as we needed. Anything specific he was open to make happen. He treated everyone (in the wedding party or not) with so much respect. We received many complainants on this! Photo Quality. The quality is exceptional. Seriously, the best there is!”

I’m a wedding photographer based in Minnesota, and it is SO nice to meet you :) A little bit about me… I’m a wife, daughter, sister, and friend. I grew up in MN and I love bringing light and positivity to my relationships. I love making people laugh, but if you ask me to tell a joke on the spot I can guarantee you nothing. I enjoy cozy nights with a cup of tea and lo-fi tunes, but also wild dancing and driving with the windows down.

“Catie Hadro Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, easy, and informative, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding, Catie was a pleasure to work with - she captured all the photos we could have hoped for without being intrusive or disruptive. The quality of their work is truly outstanding, with a keen eye for detail that really shines through in the beautiful final images. Catie's warm and personable demeanor also made the day so much more enjoyable and stress-free. I would highly recommend Catie Hadro Photography to any couple looking for top-notch wedding photography.”

“I'm a wedding planner who worked with with Amy a few weeks ago at a wedding and she was so amazing to work with!! Leading up to the wedding day she was super responsive on emails and informing us of any changes to the timeline or the weather plan. The day of the wedding, she kept the energy up & alive even though it was raining- and was just overall so great to work with. Highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer!! -Hanna, Hanna Marie Events”

Ceri McCaffrey Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Excelsior, MN

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

“Ceri was a joy to have as our photographer! She captured both our engagement photos and wedding day. All our friends and family commented on how efficient, kind and patient she was. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful photos of our day and we felt so comfortable with her. Ceri excels at capturing moments and memories and really getting to know you as a couple. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
