Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Little Mac Design

Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)

“From the very first time that I worked with Nicole, we've developed a relationship that goes beyond simply being colleagues in the wedding industry. Nicole is personable, friendly, dedicated and she clearly LOVES what she does. I've had the opportunity to work alongside her at a few wedding receptions; she and I have also traded referrals for events as well. I am a BIG fan of her work; the turnaround is VERY fast, in my experience. I have been so impressed that I also became a client, hiring her to do a photo shoot of my children for a surprise birthday gift for my wife. In my humble opinion, you can't go wrong with Nicole and Little Mac Design.”

Is simple really. I want to capture real moments and create beautiful portraits for you. Portraits that you will enjoy looking at long after your wedding. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be boring. I don't want to just give you pictures. I want to create works of art that you will be proud to hang in your home. Building friendships & relationships are another goal of mine as well. If I have created a story documenting your day, we had some fun doing it, and your friends all say your wedding photographer was amazing then I accomplished my goal.

Divine Swine Catering

Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)

“Divine Swine was an incredible choice for our wedding catering. We decided to do a breakfast-for-dinner menu for our reception, and they absolutely nailed it. Everything was delicious, beautifully prepared, and such a fun and unique option that our guests are still talking about. One of the things we loved most about Divine Swine is the variety of catering options they offer. They were so flexible and open to helping us create exactly what we envisioned for our reception meal. We also highly recommend doing a tasting with them. It was such a great experience and really helped us feel confident in our menu choices. The team was incredibly helpful throughout the process, answering our questions and working with us to make sure everything fit our vision. If you’re looking for a caterer that is accommodating, creative, and truly invested in helping you create the reception dinner of your dreams, Divine Swine is the way to go. They made our breakfast-for-dinner reception everything we hoped it would be and more!”

We have been serving the greater Twin Cities region since 1982. We started out as a pig roasting company. Over the years, we added many other meats and a wide variety of other offerings. We also feature a variety of specialty menus, yet remain the #1 pig roasting caterer in the upper midwest. Divine Swine has kept with the original theme of serving simple, wholesome, and delicious foods in generous quantities at a reasonable price. All items are made from the freshest ingredients and are the highest quality available. The heart of the experience is still our slow roasted, fresh, whole meats, featuring, of course, Roast Pork.

“Emily means it when she says she will be your storyteller and biggest cheerleader! I audibly gasped when my husband and I first opened the sneak peaks to our wedding photos. She so beautifully captured the sweet, wholesome and hilarious moments between ourselves and our family members. From my husband cleaning up my knee after I gracefully fell to the tender joy on my mom’s face as I shared a dance with my dad. She fully understood the assignment and clearly embraced our personalities and love. Before the big day, she helped us to feel comfortable, silly and authentic during our engagement shoot. Yes, we even had a little fun with some department store styled photos just because! Emily is one of a kind as a human, artist and professional! We are so grateful for her!”

Brackett's Crossing Country Club

Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)

“If there’s one thing you should know about South Asian weddings, it’s that they’re not small. We estimated a guest list of about 300-400 people, and with us being Muslim, an additional factor that really came into play was ensuring that our catering was able to be made Halal, which you can think of as meal preparation similar in rigidity to Kosher preparation, but according to Islamic guidelines. I made a call to Brackett’s Crossing, and was greeted by Elizabeth (Liz) Revak and Kendra Simonis. They had informed me that Brackett’s can accommodate 300-400 guests for an event and that they accommodate a Halal menu, provided that it is still through Brackett’s Menu and their kitchen. Historically places that I’ve toured that did that, and weddings I attended where South Asian food is not on the normal menu usually does not hit expectations. Kendra and Liz had told me that if I was available, that they had an open house in the winter and that their full menu would be on display, alongside some of their preferred vendors- and that attending would give us a fuller picture of what the food would look and taste like. My family and I went, and were WOW’ed by their presentation, hospitality, organization, and of course, how delicious their food was! Speaking to Liz and Kendra and having tried the menu and knowing that it could be made Halal, we were super intrigued but not yet settled on having them do our event. What followed was me barraging the two of them with phone calls and emails, and them meeting every one of my questions with thoughtful, kind, respectful answers that showed a serious dedication to their craft, and conveyed the passion with which they do their jobs- and frankly, go above and beyond. They started by giving me several pamphlets worth of information on anything I’d ever want to know about hosting an event there, and when I started asking about requests like modifying the space/event to accommodate our cultural and religious values they were so beyond helpful, insofar as knowing the direction of Islamic prayer relative to their venue, knowing key customs in Muslim and South Asian tradition, being able to turn over spaces in the building for prayer time, accommodating our diets, and even being able to accommodate in case we needed a horse! The space itself is lovely, the ballroom is incredibly grand and very well lit from their wall to wall windows, and the outdoor gardens and photo areas are phenomenal. As a bonus, the patio space outside was perfect for cocktail hour and for guests to hang out at night. The organization of the event went really smooth, as they work very closely with all of your vendors and have spreadsheets/meetings to help you (should you choose to utilize them) and will make sure to provide you the exact appropriate amount of organization you want so as to not over or underwhelm you. When it came time for the day of, Kendra and Liz went above and beyond, and were personally on site to oversee the success of the event. The staff, both in the kitchen and the servers tending to the guests were all pros, and kept the event running efficiently- turning over the photobooth, dessert tables and dinner and making sure that my wife and I were not bothered at the sweetheart table (and had a plate of food!) GO WITH BRACKETT'S. You won't regret it.”

Only Toons DJ Service L.L.C.

“We had an amazing experience working with Only Toons DJ Service, Musician for our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they were responsive, friendly, and really made sure they understood our vision. On the big day, they brought so much energy and fun to the reception. The music selection was on point for keeping guests of all ages entertained on the dance floor. They also provided awesome games and souvenirs that had everyone laughing and making memories. For the quality of work and value, I'd describe them as great. They were reasonably priced compared to other DJs in our area and they exceeded expectations with both their professionalism and ability to pump up the party. I'd highly recommend Only Toons if you're looking for a DJ who will help create an unforgettable celebration!”

Simple things that set us apart from the rest... I make any necessary announcements throughout the night but avoid the annoying DJ chatter that takes away from an amazing event.

DJing since 2012 with ZERO cancellations. 300+ events of experience (weddings, dances, schools, etc.). Lights for the dance floor, with colorful patterns and shapes but without being overwhelming or annoying. Lyric editing capabilities, to keep the night fun.

RS Florals

“RS Florals provided exceptional service for our wedding. Their communication was accurate, timely, and professional throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was exquisite - the floral arrangements were truly breathtaking, as if they came straight out of a wedding magazine. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, from the ceremony arrangements to the stunning reception decor. Nothing was missed, and they helped make our wedding look like a million-dollar event. We cannot recommend RS Florals highly enough for any couple looking for a florist that will bring their wedding vision to life with perfection.”

RS Florals was founded by me, Rachel — a Minnesota native with a lifelong love for creating meaningful, beautiful things. After studying retail merchandising and communication at the University of Minnesota and working in fashion in New York and Chicago, I felt drawn back home and back to hands-on creativity.

Caitlyn Kloeckl Photography

“Our wedding day was a dream and our dreamy day was captured perfectly with Caitlyn Kloeckl Photography. We enjoyed working with her as she is quick to respond, and the timely manner she is able to get the photos edited and back to you as a customer is extremely impressive. The pictures are so special to us and we cherish them as we are able to look back to our wedding day with tasteful photos and film photography. Caitlyn and her sweet second photographer drove to Duluth and were very dedicated in making sure the venue lighting and surroundings were suitable for quality images. We were lucky to find such a wonderful photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding day too. We are forever grateful. I will suggest CKP to all my friends who are looking for quality content at an affordable price. CKP captures amazing photos that project the love in a ceremony, families coming together, friends celebrating, dancing through the evening, and all the precious little moments of a wedding day.”

I never fail to laugh really loudly or really quietly with that little weezy noise, dance crazily to songs that someone would usually slow dance to & of course to ones that have a solid beat, I sing when I talk & am the person who sings a song that goes with what someone is saying (kind of like a Pitch Perfect riff off, but only with myself), and I wholeheartedly love what I get to do everyday.

They made our wedding experience such a fun journey every step of the way and we were blown away by how fantastic all of our photos turned out in both our engagement and wedding day photos. We met with them in-person twice for consultations and felt so comfortable talking with them and sharing our experiences as fellow wedding-industry workers. The rate at which we received our photos after our engagement shoot and our wedding was perfect! 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. We also loved their blog posts as a way to share photos with friends and family and we enjoyed browsing other couples' albums as well! As a same-sex mixed race couple, we really appreciated their wide portfolio of diverse couples of LGBTQIA and BIPOC clients.”

“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!!”
