Emerson Avenue 
Rating: 4.8 (6 reviews)
North Oaks, MN
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $3,500

There’s dancing in the streets of the Twin Cities! Emerson Avenue is a high-energy, horn-driven, classic rock band that hails from Minnesota’s Twin Cities. You’ll hear sounds that are heavily rooted in rock, soul, and funk, with classic tracks from bands like Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Aretha Franklin, Bee Gees, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Amy Winehouse, Prince, and many more!

I booked Emerson for my wedding in 2017 after finding out about them from a mutual friend. I was able to customize the songs I was interested in and they learned something new just for my reception. A year later they had an opening for a trumpet player and the rest is history!

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!

the suite seat 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves North Oaks, MN

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! I’m really low maintenance when it comes to my hair and Kristy helped me pick a style that was true to me but still made me feel absolutely beautiful and bridal!

Absolutely incredible! I got the opportunity to see Kastina's vision come to life a few times because she worked with my siblings. Working with Kastina was one of the best decisions we made during our entire wedding planning process. From our very first conversation, she brought professionalism, SO MUCH creativity, and genuine care to every detail. She took the time to understand our vision and made it even better than we imagined! On the wedding day, Kastina was perfection — calm, organized, and always one step ahead. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing because she handled everything with such grace and precision. Our friends and family are still talking about how seamless and beautiful the day was!

Madison and I met when she hired me to do her wedding flowers but since then we have worked together as collaborators on several wedding projects! She is sweet, funny, kind and wonderful at creating and sticking to realistic timelines. She captures the day as it really is and doesn't make you do corny poses or funny prompts like some other wedding photographers. Her style is dreamy fun vintage and she often brings several cameras so that you can have some photos that are digital as well as film. I am very excited to see that she is leaving her day job and spending time doing what she was meant to do, being a creative!

The. Perfect. Band. Hands down the best return on our wedding "investment." For many of our guests, the band was THE highlight of the day—and I think it says everything that I'm not the least bit offended by that. Seriously amazing musicians. The bandleader, Kyle, was an absolute legend to work with. I've heard from several friends/fam who called him after our wedding that he went above and beyond to help them find their second-choice band because the Hitmen were, sadly, already booked. He's just the most lovely person. Talented in his own right and, I must say, surrounded onstage by some of the best singers and players this side of the Mississippi. Their equipment produced incredible sound quality, even though the space wasn't designed for great acoustics. Plus, when we got a late start to our reception, the band called seamless song-selection audibles. If I had a time machine, one reason I'd do my wedding day again would be to relive the dance party the Hitmen threw.

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!

Meg assisted a fellow photographer at a wedding where we worked together! It was refreshing to work with her, as she was very friendly and outgoing. She has an amazing eye and wonderful sense of humor! Your in good hands with her! Looking forward to working more events together!!

  • Serves North Oaks, MN

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Cross Lake Media went above and beyond to make our entire engagement seamless. Meredith highlighted our interests during engagement pictures. She met with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything was in order. Her and Shawna kept us on our schedule on the wedding day. Her editing is phenomenal. She lets the natural beauty shine, while adding her artistic style to each picture. She cared for us as a couple, not as “Just another client.” 10/10 recommend!
