We're so excited to be the first to review DnK Photography!! It doesn't get any more complicated…read morethan this... Dan and Karin are AMAZING. Their work is AMAZING, their style is AMAZING, the experience you will have with them will be AMAZING. Where do I start...? We have had DnK shoot photos for us about 5 times now and the results have been superb every time! When we first met DnK we were looking for a wedding photographer. We met with about half a dozen photographers in the Twin Cities and DnK were the only ones who seemed to be really enthusiastic about our big day. That was a big plus, of course, but even better than that they went out their way to understand our ideas for the big day even though it was just our initial meeting and we hadn't made any commitments to them yet. My wife and I got a of confidence, very quickly, that they would do a fantastic job for us. The wedding photos turned out perfectly, better than we could have hoped. We had a lot of ideas ourselves but Dan and Karin both came up with really fun and cool ideas on the fly, all of which came out wonderfully. Dan is great at the action shots and coming up with unique ideas in real time as he sees folks interacting and moving around. Karin's portraits and group shots are second to none and her detail shots are sensational. Together they make such a great team and compliment each other really well. We also had the videography option too and that also blew us away. On the big day Dan and Karin were on time (important! :o) and they did a great job or organizing everyone. They kept us on track but at the same time made everyone feel at ease and just helped us enjoy ourselves! (Personally, I don't really like having my photo taken, so the idea of wedding and family photos was enough to make me cut straight to the booze at the reception but DnK managed to take all my nerves away and I really did enjoy myself. It was like magic! Ha!) Immediately after the wedding, on the Monday, we did a "Trash the Dress" shoot at the MN State Fair. Let me tell you - it was a BLAST! Despite it being hot, with hundreds of being constantly surrounding us... it was SO MUCH FUN!! DnK's photos of this shoot were every bit as good as the wedding itself! In fact, in summer several of our photos were used by the Fair as a promo for the event!! How cool!? Since the wedding we have been back again and again. My wife is a musical theatre actress, she has had them shoot her promotional shots for her website and they also shot the photos for a production at The MN History Theatre which have been used two years in a row by the theatre. I could go on and on... but I'll close by saying this: Give DnK a chance, they won't let you down. They will give you incredible value and you will LOVE the results!! Next stop... Pregnancy photos please Dan and Karin! Then baby photos! Then... well, you get the picture... :o)

When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find pictures that I connected with. I ran…read moreacross DnK's website. I hadn't seen their advertisements, or website or rankings on wedding sites, so I was a half heartily looking at their pictures, but I fell in love with their photos. That was in 2010, they've been nominated for all sorts of stuff now because they deserve it! As luck would have it, they were available the day we needed! So we met to interview them and I walked out of there and told my fiance at the time - there is no need to interview anyone else. I want them. They were so prepared when we met, but prepared like photographers are, somewhat disorganized, but they knew were everything was but totally on top of it. They were quit the duo to watch. They had their business side down, pricing was prepared, photos were in hand, they knew each others strengths so they let the other focus on their side of the business. We started asking all the "suppose to ask questions" wedding sites suggest you ask, but quickly just started talking. We connected, it was great. What really sold me was I asked "Come on, you have some crazy bridezilla moments, right?" The response was amazing after giggling at the question, "we haven't had any because those are not the types of brides we attract." - they said it much more professional though. The turn around time on the photos was as expected, email response was as expected (note brides - you are not the business's only customer, don't expect an answer for every little question within 24 hrs no matter the business you are talking to), but the quality of our photos by far surpassed expectations. The photo booth was a gem, the candid photos they caught captured the people's personality to a T. Most of all the photos of my husband and I captured our relationship and the mood of the day just perfectly.

Because by the end of your first meeting, Andrew and his whole crew will feel like family. And they will treat you that way also. Andrew took amazing care of me and my husband throughout the entire process. Kyle was never big on taking pictures until our engagement session with Andrew. He couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had and how excited he was to have Andrew hanging with his groomsmen at the wedding. The big day Andrew was creative and funny and attentive. He was protective and helpful and organized. We had a friend doing videography and it was his first wedding and Andrew helped and inspired and collaborated with him all day. As a bride, he made me feel SO well taken care of. I know the pictures will be amazing because I've worked with Andrew before. His pictures are a product of his passion and you will feel it immediately. He will make you feel and look like the million dollar bride you are. And he'll keep you laughing throughout the whole thing. Side note: he's great with angles ;) if ya catch my double chin.

Details: Had our family photo shoot on 4/12 - good location, very personable, thought we made a connection with her - $500 paid. She met with my wife to select photos on 4/24 - we were told to expect them soon. We emailed and called 5/30, 6/8, 7/24, and finally got a response on 7/25 with only approximately 10 photos sent digitally. Many, many missing favorites that were selected by my wife at the meeting. Have continued to contact her up to this date, and she will not return our messages. I suspect that she may have lost the majority of the photos or is simply a terrible communicator. Altogether, these photos were very personal and extremely important to us. We will NEVER use her again.

All of the incredible emotion of the day that I loved in her portfolio - I could not have been happier with how she captured the same memories for our wedding. I could not be happier with our choice to hire Sally as our wedding photographer.

I love Sally. Just love her…read more I met her several years ago through a mutual friend. She has since taken professional photos of myself and coworkers for my "day job", shot my wedding (marriage didn't work out, but boy were the photo's beautiful), took some family photos for my parent's 50th, and now has taken some photos for use on a new website I am creating for my retirement gig - my profile yelp picture was taken by Sally. Like the other reviewers, I do not particularly enjoy having my photo taken, but Sally always makes it fun and the photos that she gets as a result of her ability to make her subjects feel at ease are phenomenal. She also has great, creative ideas and is willing to do almost anything to get the perfect shot - from trudging out onto a frozen lake Minnetonka as mentioned by one reviewer, to showing up at my farm ready and willing to climb into pig pens to take photos of piglets. (Well, maybe not so "ready" - the sparkly flip flops had to go...But once I had her in some waders, she was unstoppable). I can and do recommend her highly to anyone looking for a photographer. You will be so pleased.
