I love weddings. All of the little details, the way you express who you are as a couple + individuals, and the total excitement of being there to capture your special day! It means the world to me that you picked me and my job is to witness and document your story. Everyone’s story is unique to you + your fiancé. And your story continues to grow and blossom with every change in life, so I want to focus on taking photos that will stand the test of time. These photos are bigger than just the wedding day - they will be in hallways of homes, placed in photo books, and be passed down to future generations to be admired and have your story shared.

I moved to downtown Minneapolis from Iowa to attend college. My husband and I met my husband at a cafe concert where we both never thought we’d see each other again. A few days later, he walked into my college class and the joy on my face was indescribable. The rest is history! I met a local photographer who took me under their wing where I learned the beauty of photography. This is where I fell in love with people, specifically the connection between two who are madly in love. I am passionate about documenting love in its rawest form for who the couple really is and for how their day naturally unfolds. It’s ALWAYS about the couple.

I’m Sammy, and I am a wedding photographer based in Minnesota. Although I serve out of Minnesota, I have also been lucky to reach couples from all over the place. I have a love for travel, coffee, dogs, and the simpler things in life. As a teenager, I was the girl carrying a camera everywhere I went collecting memories as I go. I grew up around music and picked up the guitar and piano at a young age. My childhood memories were filled with arts, music, and lots of imagination.

I have photographed over 500 weddings since 2007. I have experience photographing a variety of religions and non-traditions weddings; Hindu, Buddhist, Indian, Orthodox Jewish, Greek Orthodox, Traditional Latin, Somalian, destination and same-sex couples. Capturing every moment you want to remember. Emotions, tears, smiles and once in a lifetime moments shared with those you love dearly. Friends and family from near and far, intricate details that took months of planning. I will be there to uniquely, unobtrusively document every second of your wedding day.

I’ve loved art for as long as I can remember. In fact, I spent more time sketching, and creating things than paying attention in most classes (oops). I’ve found that art has always been a way for me to communicate with the world. Where my words fell short, creating things came in handy. Photography is simply an amazing extension of that. To me, photography is a way to capture memories and intricate details that God has created, to tell the story. And my desire is to capture feelings and candid moments that you can look at and instantly connect with - for years to come. People matter, and everyone has a story to tell!

My love of weddings started early in life. The design and decor, the endless creative options, the unique venues, the gowns, and of course, the romance. What has kept me going for the last thirteen years has been the storytelling. The immersion into true emotions and connections. Not only with the newlyweds but with the group of bridesmaids standing along side their lifelong friend; the empathetic glances between the in-laws as they watch their "kids" tie the knot; and the blossoming friendships over a few too many glasses of wine and groovy dance moves. A real look into so many different loves, lives, and relationships.

Your photographer will be one of the most important vendors you select, period. The photographers that Bellagala has hand-selected all have a photojournalistic base but have also developed their own sense of style, and a skill set that is unique to each of them through years of shooting weddings. Each of our wedding photographers, even at the Apprentice level, are subject to a thorough evaluation process before being invited to join the Bellagala team, and we ensure they have a solid record of client service and a strong creative portfolio. We promise you will love their work.

Graduated with an A.A.S. in Photography and B.S. in Information Systems. I like to remain as true to the day as possible so you will see there is very little filtering in my photographs.

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!

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.

I've always had an interest in photography, but my passion really took off when I had my first child. There is something special about capturing children in the moments of pure joy. The special moments in people's lives, sometimes lasting only an instant, are the reason I decided to pursue a career in photography. I live for taking that perfect candid shot. Weddings, children at play, engagements, all of them offer their moments, maybe even one, that you can never get back. My goal is to always capture those moments you can look back and reflect on for a lifetime.

Born in the French Alps and growing up together with my 4 siblings, in a stone house on the side of a mountain, it wasn't difficult to be moved by the beauty that surrounded me. It wasn't long until I turned to imagery as a means of interaction with the visual world around me and to use it as a means of communication with others. I hope to use the power of the image to make a difference and be a part of something bigger than myself. Camera in hand I hope to give you a chance to share and relive your special moments of life through the images we create together. Lets make something.

Following high school I lived abroad for a bit and once back in the states started capturing friends weddings. I started my business in 2014 and have never looked back.

I love freezing memories in time and hope my couples feel the same.

Hello, I’m Britt. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 10 years. I was named one of the Best Wedding Photographers in the U.S. by Brides magazine in 2018. My photography aesthetic can be described as documentary with a blend of fine art.

I landed my first wedding in Seattle in 1999 somewhat by accident. After a couple loved the portraits I made for them, they asked if I would shoot their wedding. I said yes, but was secretly terrified. Fortunately, my naivety was inadvertently a bonus because I photographed that wedding the same way I photographed news stories: as discreetly as possible and recognizing key moments at the speed they are happening rather than directing the action or creating artificial scenarios. I don't have the preconceived notions of an advertising photographer. I am just as excited to see the final images as you are!

I'm a Saint Paul-based intimate wedding and elopement photographer, immigrant from Venezuela, mom to a semi-feral rescue dog, extroverted introvert, and proud Leo (duhhhhh). As someone who grew up hating rom-coms and avoiding all things lovey-dovey, no one was more surprised than me when I found myself photographing weddings and crying at every ceremony and father-of-the-bride speech. My cold heart melted, and now I can't imagine doing anything other spending the day with two folks who are madly in loooove.
