Glamour Beauty was a wonderful beauty professional to work with for my wedding day. Katie was extremely responsive, friendly, and accommodating throughout the planning process, always getting back to me right away whenever I had a question or concern. On the big day itself, she worked very efficiently to deliver beautiful makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and all the mothers. She did an amazing job listening to exactly what I envisioned and bringing it to life. My makeup was flawless and stayed put all night long even after the rain happy tears during the ceremony and hours of dancing at the reception. I felt glamorous and confident thanks to Katie’s work. The whole bridal party looked stunning. I would highly recommend Glamour Beauty for any bride looking for a talented, reliable beauty team for her wedding!

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.

Britt did an incredible job with our wedding photos!! We loved her artistic eye and journalistic storytelling. She was incredibly accommodating and supportive: We had a BIG change of venue close to the wedding that she easily adapted to. On the day, she was a calm presence, seamlessly fitting into the flow of everything—we didn't notice her (in the best way!) during the ceremony and reception and were so pleased with everything she captured!

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

Welcome to my little online corner! I'm Kelly, a wedding, family, and brand photographer based in Minnesota. My goal with photography is to capture YOU! Your love. Your adventures. Your snuggles. Your chaos. Whatever it is that makes you, you, I want THAT to come through in your photos. I’m always looking for ways to direct less and simply create an environment for you to be. For many years I shot exclusively with film and although I shoot with it less now, my style is still very film driven. All editing is done to emulate film. It’s timeless, not trendy. You’ll never look back and cringe at that year’s filter trend.

Venue considerations

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue than Union Depot for our wedding. The venue manager was clear, communicative, and flexible throughout the planning process. She helped us with deadlines, floor plan adjustments, parking validations, access to getting-ready spaces, and being on-site the day of to support with our wedding coordinator. We also appreciated how affordable the venue and getting ready spaces cost for our budget. The venue itself was beautiful, and it was a relief to do a final walkthrough and drop off decorations the day before the event. The Waiting Room setup with digital signage, pipe and drape made it easy for guests to know where to go, and Union Depot offered stunning indoor and outdoor photo options, which was especially important given the unpredictability of the weather conditions. We can’t wait to visit Union Depot in the future to hop on the train/bus and reminisce on our wedding day there.

We booked Andrew Parfenov through Bellagala as our wedding photographer and couldn't be happier. We were looking for a photographer with a strong visual voice and a good mix of non-traditional/dramatic portraits and photojournalistic (candid) photos in their portfolio. Andrew brought the drama, the joy, and so much more! From the get-go, Andrew was a delight to work with - he shot our engagement photos and helped us find and arrange a venue for them - and immediately set us at ease. He goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot, the perfect lighting, the perfect pose. On our wedding day, Andrew took the lead on finding locations for photos around our venue, posing us/our bridal party/our family, and finding moments for candid shots at the reception. Multiple family members have reached out after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed Andrew's approach and how at ease they felt with him. If you're considering Andrew for your special occasion, book him - we can't recommend him highly enough!

Groovytown Entertainment is a premier wedding DJ and entertainment service, offering a unique blend of music, lighting, and photo booth fun to make your special day unforgettable. We fully understand that every wedding is different, and that’s why for over six years, we’ve been providing personalized service and attention to detail, to our couples in the Twin Cities and nearby areas of Wisconsin, to suit their style and vision. From ceremony to reception, we’ll keep the dance floor packed and your guests entertained. Groovytown Entertainment will bring the groove & vibe to your wedding celebration, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

We hired Groovytown Entertainment for our wedding in August 2023, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made! After searching for a DJ for about two weeks, we stumbled upon Groovytown Entertainment through Instagram, and everything fell into place. Our main focus was on the ceremony, as we wanted my cousins to play piano and guitar while guests arrived. We needed a DJ who could seamlessly accommodate this setup. At the same time, we also wanted someone who could keep the dance floor packed all night—both my family and my wife’s family love to dance! When we reached out, we connected with Biko, who immediately impressed us during a video chat. Just minutes into the call, we knew we were in good hands. Biko’s expertise with weddings was evident; he had so much energy and gave us insights about the timeline and flow of the day that we hadn’t even considered. It was clear he cared deeply about making our day perfect, and we booked him the very next day. Leading up to the wedding, we had two more meetings with Biko to finalize every detail. He was thorough, organized, and made sure everything was streamlined for our big day. On the wedding day, Biko arrived on time and had everything set up for our cousins to perform during the ceremony. The ceremony went flawlessly, and when it was time for the reception, we already knew we were in for a great time. Biko did not disappoint! We danced non-stop from the moment the music started until the venue literally couldn’t accommodate us anymore. Biko knew exactly how to get everyone on the dance floor—even the guests who normally prefer to sit and watch. Up to this day, we’re still getting compliments from family and friends about how amazing the day was, and much of that is thanks to Biko. If you’re looking for the BEST DJ for your wedding, we highly recommend Groovytown Entertainment and DJ Biko. We’d choose him over and over again without hesitation!

One of my favorite parts of working with brides is putting to rest all of their fears about why they might not be able to have the style they’re envisioning to complete their look. Hair too fine, not long enough, won’t hold a curl… I’ve heard it all. And I love the look on my bride’s face when we work together to make her “impossible” vision come to life. I consider it a high honor to style a bride for a day in which she’ll be memorialized in photos for all time. When you’re in the suite seat, i promise you’ll love what you see in those photos. Enough about me. Let’s talk about your hair!

Kristy was awesome to work with!! She brought such a great energy to the morning of my wedding. She’s incredibly talented when it comes to hair, everyone looked so amazing and the hair styles held up so well all night!

Kastina Morrison is the epitome of event excellence. We hired Kastina & Co. for day-of (really, month-of) wedding coordination for our outdoor ceremony at a non-traditional farm venue. Kastina dove right in, offering a curated list of 5-star vendors, brainstorming for decor, and setting several meetings to keep things on track. We had a lot of cannabis elements (a very new thing in Minnesota), but Kastina was able to help us find the right partners to stay compliant and classy. The best part, aside from Kastina’s immensely positive and creative spirit, is her organizational skills. She created many invaluable documents, including an incredibly detailed run-of-show that outlined our wedding down to the minute. Every single person, whether it was a vendor, a wedding party person, or a family member, knew precisely where they needed to be when. This document alone was worth its weight in gold as it allowed me (the bride) to enjoy my special day, and helped ease the mind of my anxious MIL (not an easy feat). On the day of, Kastina and her team worked their tails off to ensure things went off without a hitch - including repairing a wind-damaged tent. It could have spelled disaster for our reception, but somehow Kastina saved the day. And I didn’t even know it happened until the very end of the night. She’s just that good. If you’re considering hiring Kastina & Co., do not hesitate. It will be the best decision you ever made. Our wedding even made it into Minnesota Bride magazine thanks to Kastina’s brilliant execution!

We used Green Mill Catering for our wedding this April, and I can't say enough good things about them! The biggest feedback we got on our wedding was that it was the best food they had ever tasted. We had a hard time choosing during the tasting, because everything was just so good! They are really flexible with the menu arrangement, and even made a custom-requested dessert for us. They accommodated every request and question, and were so patient as we debated our choices. I wish I had more photos of the meals, but the presentation was equally as great! Everything was truly delicious, but we especially recommend trying the almond crusted chicken, the mashed potatoes, the crab-stuffed mushrooms, the coconut chicken skewers, the mini walleye cakes, the Swedish meatballs, and the mini shooters.

From the first conversation with A'bulae, we knew we had found our venue. The team was responsive to every question and flexible with our requests, making the planning process stress-free. Their updated ballroom is spacious and beautiful, giving us plenty of room for our guests to celebrate. On our wedding day, they worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. The customer service we received was top-notch, and the staff genuinely cared about making our day special. We're so grateful to the A'bulae team for creating an unforgettable wedding experience for us.

The team at Summit Manor was a dream to work with for our wedding. Their communication was always timely, thorough, and proactive, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous - a stunning outdoor space that our guests loved, and a timeless interior that had made for truly breathtaking work of art photos. The day itself was stress-free, thanks to the incredible staff. The food was out of this world, with a high-end supper club quality that had our guests going back for seconds and thirds. David was great to work with, and Danny was exceptionally helpful and kind throughout the evening, seamlessly ushering guests from one space to the next. We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day!
