I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!

Our guests were raving about the desserts even weeks after the wedding, and we had multiple people ask us where they came from. Everything was delicious, and it was such a hit with everyone! A huge shoutout to Makenzi, who I communicated with throughout the planning process. Her attention to detail, quick communication, and willingness to help made such a huge difference. She made me feel confident that we had chosen the right place for our wedding. She recommended different desserts and flavors based on what we were looking for, which made the decision-making process so much easier than I expected. We also had a cake/dessert tasting with Makenzi before the wedding, where we were able to try all of the different options we could choose from. This was SO helpful and made it much easier to decide what we wanted. If you prefer, Keys also offers the option to take a cake tasting home with you so you can try everything from the comfort of your own home! From the delicious desserts, affordable pricing, beautiful setup, delivery, and incredible communication, Keys Café & Bakery went above and beyond for our wedding.

I had the pleasure of being the floral designer at a recent wedding at Loft 214, and I can’t say enough good things. The staff (Cody!) was warm, professional, and genuinely supportive - not just of the couple and their families, but of the entire vendor team. Cody was there and ready to hold the door for me as soon as I approached their door with an armful of flowers in hand at their opening time - even a moment before. Some venues would huff at you for this. He welcomed me and offered to help carry or loan me a cart! The entire time I was setting up he worked diligently to bring the bride's vision and plan to life. Know that if you're looking for a gorgeous downtown venue and friendly staff - this is your place.

We’re the Scherer's… a husband and wife wedding photography & videography duo. We are parents to three sweet littles and two fur babies who keep our home and heart busy but filled with love. Most days you can find us working from our home office, shooting sessions at our studio space, or adventuring with our family in our little hometown of Stillwater.

We hired Scherer Photo Co for our family photos and we’re absolutely blown away! They were so organized and knew what they were doing. Jenessa was so sweet with my kiddos and got great pictures showcasing their personality! We got our photos back promptly and there were so many amazing shots. They were so kind and answered every question we had, and they thought of so many different poses and groupings I wouldn’t have even thought to get. If they were this amazing for a family photo session, I can only imagine how amazing they are on a wedding day. If I could get married again, I would definitely hire Jenessa and Chris!

In 1910, President Taft signed the bill to establish Glacier National Park as the country’s 10th national park. Mr. Healy was given a plumbing contractor for the train depot here in St. Paul, where he met Samuel Bartlett, the architect of many of the railroad depots and Glacier National Park Lodge. Healy then commissioned Bartlett to renovate and enlarge the house. In 1914, the farm was sold to John Healy, the owner of Healy Plumbing and Heating Company of St. Paul. Mr. Healy’s company became closely tied to the Great Northern Railroad, as it provided the heating and plumbing for many of the train depots that were being built around the country at that time. The farm was named Hope Glen Farm, the name of John Healy’s mother’s maiden name of Hope, and the house settles in a Glen, thus Hope Glen.

Hope Glen Farm is truly an exceptional wedding venue, and we cannot say enough about the incredible team behind it. From the very beginning, communication with the venue manager, Eryka, was outstanding. She is the definition of professional — organized, responsive, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Her guidance made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a romantic, storybook setting that feels both elegant and welcoming. One of the highlights was the stunning treehouse where we stayed on our wedding night — complete with a cozy fireplace, jacuzzi, and full kitchen. It was the perfect, private retreat to unwind and soak in the joy of the day. What truly sets Hope Glen Farm apart is the thoughtful layout of the space. Each area — from the ceremony site to cocktail hour to the reception and dance floor — flows effortlessly into the next. Our guests were able to move comfortably throughout the celebration, and everything felt natural and well-paced. The entire property creates an immersive experience rather than just a single event space. The value for what you receive is unmatched. Being able to bring in our own alcohol saved us thousands of dollars without sacrificing quality, and their catering options were phenomenal. Our guests are still talking about how incredible the food was — which says everything. If you’re looking for a venue that combines natural beauty, flexibility, professionalism, and an unforgettable atmosphere, Hope Glen Farm exceeds every expectation. We would choose it again in a heartbeat. Plus it was only 20 minutes from the airport our out of town guests really loved that.

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.

Devyn is absolutely amazing! She is so fun to work with. She effortlessly made me feel instantly comfortable, and she was so encouraging and wonderful throughout our whole shoot. I have a bigger body, so I was a little nervous going in, but I’m in LOVE with my gallery— she really made me feel so beautiful and captured me in a way I didn’t even know was possible. She made me fall more in love with myself, and we had the funnest time together. We then did a very cool moody lights session together which I loved! She’s so great at communication, too! Any time I get to work with her, I know it’s going to be a great experience with beautiful results. I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time, and I highly recommend her for any of your photo needs!

Awarded Best of Zola
I am absolutely obsessed with how my wedding flowers turned out! After just one meeting with Candi she understood my vision and brought it to life better than I even imagined. She was fantastic with communication and was very accommodating with my color specificity. The flowers lasted perfectly, even though it was a hot and humid day. The magnet boutonnieres were the only exception, this may have been because of the flowers being too heavy for that style. She was last minute willing and able to accommodate dropping off personal flowers at a nearby location before setting up the arrangements at the church. Candi is very talented at arranging florals and compiling the most beautiful flower combinations.

It's amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and suddenly you can't remember how you ever lived without them! It's been my life's mission to beautifully capture every couple's love story along with every new chapter in their lives (from proposals to growing families). Studio Delphianblue was founded in 2013 and is a fully woman-owned company based out of Burnsville MN. We DO travel outside of the Twin Cities metro area! I absolutely LOVE photographing proposals, engagement sessions and weddings, and my passion is reflected in my photography work.

From the first time we spoke, Danielle at Studio Delphianblue demonstrated her commitment to capturing our wedding perfectly. She was very easy to communicate with, and answered any questions we had. We didn’t know exactly what we wanted at first, but she asked all the right things to help us create a vision and guide us through it. She was thorough, professional, and incredibly easy to work with. She truly went above and beyond, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted and some we didn't even know we needed! The quality of her work is exceptional - she is knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and brought a fun energy to the day. Every photo we've seen has exceeded our expectations, and she even uploaded our sneak peek photos quickly so we could share them with our loved ones. It honestly feels criminal to try and pick just one to attach to this review! We highly recommend Danielle and Studio Delphianblue to anyone looking for an amazingly talented photographer.

Sydney was a DREAM!! My husband and I both agree that hiring Sydney was hands down the best decision we made while planning our entire wedding. She and her amazing assistant (Bridget) made sure the day ran smoothly and we stayed on schedule as much as possible. Sydney was so available and responsive during the month leading up to our wedding, and she connected with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. I felt like I had no clue what was happening behind the scenes on my wedding day- in the best possible way. I was able to be present and trust that Sydney and Bridget were on top of everything! The peace of mind she gave us was seriously priceless. She also has the best energy and you can just tell she loves what she does!!
