“I didn’t realize how much photography would matter to me until I saw our final gallery—and it completely took my breath away. They captured the imperfections, the messy happy tears, the wind in my veil, and the pure chaos of our dance floor with so much heart. Nothing was overly edited or polished—it was raw, real, and stunning. It felt like seeing our love in its truest form, and I wouldn’t change a single frame.”

Aanna Chase Photography

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Hartford, SD

Hello! My name is Aanna and I can't wait to meet you. When I was seven years old, my parents gifted me with a tape recorder. It became my aim to document life in my home and beyond—an ongoing narration. Fast forward a few years and I brought my journalism to a new level when I spent my hard earned money on a camera. The rest is history—and a longer story for a future coffee date :) For as long as I can remember, I have been observing and responding to the stories and visuals around me; and it has only become more exciting with every person I meet and event I photograph!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Working with Aanna was an absolute dream for our wedding! She is truly a one woman show and spent 8 hours with us and never missed a shot. She was incredibly helpful in making us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture us beautifully in both candid and curated shots. There was excellent communication that helped our day run smoothly and stress free. We have received some teaser photographs back and are absolutely stunned with her artistic ability! 10/10 would recommend her to any couple out there for their photographer, we could not be happier!!!!!”

California born, Minnesota raised, currently enjoying life in Sioux Falls, SD with my husband and a quirky turtle named Hermione. Lover of Jesus, good food, Star Wars, and books. You deserve a wedding without stress and "we have to's" - a celebration that feels comfortable, fun, & true to your personalities. I love helping couples simply feel like themselves on their wedding day; creating space for them to make memories instead of just photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Kylee took my engagement photos and wedding photos. They look like they belong in a magazine! She's a wonderful person to talk with and really listens to what you want and helps you when your stumped on what to capture. Her questions and interest in our life helped pick out the greenhouse and the dance hall as two places that would be perfect to capture our engagement photos and then at my wedding the photos of my friends and family were so good I printed them off and sent them with our thank you cards to each person. For the overall process she stayed in contact with me after booking to figure out a good date for the engagement photos and the day of wedding schedule and what items were important that we capture at the wedding. Her price was super reasonable and in the same range as other photographers I looked at. She got me back my photos SO FAST after the wedding and gave me sneak peaks before hand. Then as part of the package gave me a USB stick with all the photos in a super cute box with highlight photos printed off on nice paper along with the cloud photo album so I will always have access to them.”

I grew up in Spain right by the Mediterranean Sea, but my passion for photography started in 2006 while studying in Sweden. I got my hands on a camera for the first time and since then, I haven’t been able to stop. In 2011, I invested in my first professional camera and started my business. Little did I know that would be the start of my wonderful journey through the American Dream. I photographed my first solo wedding in 2012. I loved the experience, the romance and the beauty of the moment. That year I booked three more weddings and by 2013, three weddings turned into eight; eight turned into fifteen in 2014, and so on.

“Patty is a true artist in how she photographs. Her ability to see what most don’t is impeccable, leaving you in awe when she shows you the shot afterwards. The simplicity yet beauty she captures in each photograph is like I said that of a true artist. If you want the most stunningly beautiful wedding photos and most personalized service then go with Solis Photography, Patty. Your future self will thank you!”

Hi! I’m Bri! Cameras have always been a passion, but it wasn’t until I left my corporate job that I fully embraced photography as my calling. I started by capturing Jiu Jitsu, focusing on its raw intensity, but soon realized I love the mushy gushy moments—tearful vows, quiet glances, and the joy of saying “yes” to forever. Now, I specialize in weddings, elopements, engagements, and proposals, blending storytelling with emotion and movement. With a keen eye for detail, I create images that feel natural, artistic, and deeply personal—telling your story exactly as it is.

“Josh and I got engaged on 2/20/25 and Josh had hired Bri to photograph our engagement! She hid, I had no idea till after I was engaged. She did a wonderful job catching such a raw and beautiful moment between us!! Her and Josh even had to make a last minute plan and change locations for the surprise engagement due to weather, and she was very flexible, and worked with Josh the night before, and the plan worked out amazing, I still had no clue!! Bri is an amazing choice for a photographer for any occasion! Thank you Bri!”

Hey there!! My name is Alexis and I'm so glad you're here. I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Hankinson, ND, with ties to Minneapolis as well, so I am in MN often and will gladly come wherever you are! I love the all things outdoors, especially forests and couldn't live without coffee.

“I had Alexis (and Sam) photograph my wedding at the Avalon Events Center on 6/13. She was awesome every step of the way, from having a huge bag of wedding kit items, helping pose and manage family for photos, and coming up with ideas for photos to make use of the large gap of time we had between the ceremony and the grand march. I don't think I saw her and Sam put down their cameras the entire 8 hours they were there on that day, so I'm excited to get the full gallery of photos! She was also able to rush us out for some awesome sunset photos when we only had a few minutes to get them. Cannot recommend her highly enough! Her price is extremely reasonable for the great quality of service and photos she provides.”

“The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!”

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

“Isaac’s photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking.”
