It is an absolute pleasure to work with Laura. She is so incredibly caring, thoughtful, thorough, and passionate. She was amazingly detailed in every step of the planning process and on the wedding day itself. On the wedding day, we worked with her, her second photographer (Francisco), and her father (Ronald). The first look we did with them was so beautiful, so perfect. We wish we could relive it! They did fantastic with the family photos, especially given how tricky those can be! Laura had so many great ideas for different shots we could do throughout our venue! Even though staged photos can still be a little weird for us, she did such an amazing job making us feel comfortable and making it fun. We don't have all the photos yet but the preview photos we have received so far are INCREDIBLE! We have received so many compliments from family and friends on them, so many comments on how fantastic they are! I can't recommend enough that you work with Laura for your wedding. She is truly phenomenal every step of the way and is so deeply passionate about what she does! Thank you again Laura!

Angela is fantastic! I've actually been involved in a fair amount of photo shoots, mostly for dance…read morebut also my wedding. My most recent shoot with Angela was certainly one of the best. I needed some pictures of me going Thai Yoga Bodywork for website building, so we set up an hour-long block of time in one of the studios, spent about a half-hour shooting, and ended up with 148 photos that are ALL excellent. I'm so impressed with Angela's accessibility, professionalism, and efficiency. She was incredibly easy to work with. The atmosphere was never rushed, stressed, or pressured. I couldn't believe how much material I got for how little "work" it felt like! Angela has so much experience in so many types of photography, but her own voice shines through in clear uncluttered images where the subjects really speaks.

Angela is one talented woman! She was the photographer for my wedding in Park Slope and having her…read morethere was one of the highlights of the day. As a documentary photographer who has published her own book and worked for the NYTimes, she brings a sense of narrative to her work, and her subjects are captured in meaningful, expressive ways. I absolutely loved her pictures. And in addition to being an artist, she's a dynamic, engaging personality. Highly highly recommended!

We cannot stop raving about Angela Divine Photography. We are not a couple comfortable in front of…read morethe camera, but Angela can solved that. She made the process easy, comfortable, and a blast. Her work is phenomenal. She strikes the perfect balance of capturing those small moments between people, and creating that dramatic shot you didn't think was possible. She thinks out of the box, and isn't afraid to go the extra mile to get that perfect photo. We fell in love with her the minute we met for a consultation and she told us "It's not my job to manufacture a beautiful photo. Your love story is already that, it's just my job to get it on film". In our engagement/wedding photos she managed to capture our personalities on film, looking better than we ever have before. Our families commented on the day that Angela Knox was one of the nicest people they've ever met and we agree. They also commented how she was able to do her job so well, going to different tables and asking them if they wanted specific group shots. She was able to get a lot of exciting photos that we, the bride and groom, didn't have to worry about. She was a professional and knew what she was doing at our wedding. She also will go the extra mile for anything. She showed this to us by helping the Groom's family surprise us with a canvas print of one of our engagement photos taken by her, ensuring that the person making the canvas print has the correct photo type and file to work with. Hire her immediately. For everything. You will not regret it. We will be a repeat customer for anything requiring a professional photographer. Thanks for everything you did to make our day wonderful Angela!

Best wedding photographer out there. She is amazing from the start to the finish.

She is so personable, caring, and you can truly tell that she loves her job. She mad the day go perfect and smooth.

Louisa traveled to Wisconsin for our wedding this summer. She did a wonderful and VERY professional…read morejob. We are thrilled with our photos we'll have for a lifetime. She got all our shots in on time and with zero rushing or stress. The groom has approximately a million people in his family----she got ALL of them in a shot looking at the camera including the kiddos. Amazing. She has a great way with light and a unique point of view. As we hopefully won't ever be having a wedding again, I can't say I'd use her again (haha) but I highly encourage you to interview and hire her for your engagement and wedding photos!

She is fun, caring,…read morecompassionate about her work, and will make it so flawlessly smooth for your big day that you won't even know she's there...except that you don't want her to leave your side. She is professional, but not stuffy. It's like having an extended family member there doing your photos, only she's amazing at what she does. (My family on the other hand, not so much! LOL!) A wedding attendee said she would fly her out to do her photos. That's a good plug right there. Thank you for a job well done for my besties.

I love banquets of Minnesota located on Highway 65 in the Blaine area…read more It's very easy to get to off of Highway 65 (Central Avenue); and there is a tremendous amount of parking. This place reminds me the Medina ballroom, but in a more northern location... They have a great kitchen and they produce a lot of wholesome, good tasting food for a very modest price! This is a great place to host business events, and wedding receptions or other social gatherings ! Have a very friendly and efficient crew of people that work there. They have it dialed in pretty well. I recommend this banquet facility 100%!

Not ONLY am I absolutely in LOVE with her photography style, she is truly a joy to work with…read more As a surprise for my husband, I went to Erin to have photos for him taken. In what might be the most uncomfortable of situations, she put me at ease, made me laugh and allowed me to feel as though I were spending time with a friend - as opposed to someone I'd met a matter of minutes before. Her ideas (lighting, positioning, backdrops) were FABULOUS, and the photos were absolutely GORGEOUS (if I'm allowed to say so ;). In my life, I have NEVER felt so beautiful and I am overwhelmed by the kindness Erin showed me in creating that feeling. She is SO talented and has SUCH a great eye...I wouldn't DREAM of using another photographer. If you haven't yet, I INSIST you check out her blog - her work speaks for itself.

Went to a wedding in the fall of 2024. It's a pretty place but after the ceremony we had to step…read moreout for an hour so they could prep and turn around their large space to set up for the second part of the wedding-dinner/dancing. I have never experienced anything like that. I guess you have to work with minimal space. Maybe have your main event there but not your entire wedding. I went through their wedding website and it looks like for entertainment as well as other things you have to choose from a specific group of vendors. I don't know why but their DJ can't get enough of himself. The man will not stop talking. Every intro for daddy and daughter dance, etc. had a 5-10 minute discussion from him. People were complaining that he needed to just get straight to the point. When I asked the bar tender about it, he said, Yeah I work a lot of events with this guy and he doesn't shut up. It wasn't just me. lol And the music was lame. I'm sure it was the wedding party's choice. It was more like singalong music and not dancing music. Why even have a dance floor? I'd take the DJ off the vendor list quick.

Attended a wedding here yesterday. I got to the venue WAY EARLY so... I just took a seat, out of…read morethe way.... of Event Coordinator Kristen and Amy and Doug. All three staff were super friendly. The event space and layout are really nice and comfortable. I really like the upstairs, there is the big event space but if you continue on to the bar area, there is more seating, a place to hang out that gives you a little more space to have quieter conversations. The outside: garden area is cute and quaint. I didn't ask about them but they had some really cute...inventive(?) table that were like wagon wheel tables... it was all very....vintage. Great venue with fantastic staff! Thanks for a wonderful wedding & reception event, Kellerman's! Cheers
