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.

It has a rustic, yet fashionable feeling, with neat wood floors and a huge metal door that opens up to a old loading dock.

My wish is that I had purchased one back when they offered them. Like many of the reviews, I thought they were way too expensive. I agree they should figure a way to make them affordable... because... I have only found one other studio where such quality photos are produced. It was where my daughter had her graduation photos taken in 2013. If anyone knows how I can get my hands on just one of those photos with my family I would be greatful. I was suppose to receive the one photo from my sitting but it never came. Great Work and I hope they continue and make their photos more affordable. I gave 4 stars for the Work but could not give 5 stars because the great photos are priced out of the average persons financial reach.

I would give Rainy 5 stars. She was a great photographer…read more The other people not so much. We had a great session for $25 which the end cost ended up easily being $1000's of dollars. The original sales person promised me photos And originals for $25- a discounted price to make up for a loss in my last gift card. She was being so nice and helpful and really taking care of me- Instead turns out it was the normal price and she was lying to me. Well I went to the session anyways and we met Rainy. Wow she was great. A very kind person. I just don't want to pay $1200 for a few photos. So now the business is closing- the gentleman that did our preview of our photos promised us our photos fully released unedited for $250 for a "business is closing" price. We decided to wait. Then when we went to pick up our photo another young lady offered us the same thing- we declined while we think about it. Today we called back because we know our time is running out and Rainy answered. Still polite- and seems to be the most honest. Apparently the $250 package for everything really isn't for everything- it's for 5x7's! Who the heck would pay $250 for just the digital copies of 5x7's. Thank you Rainy for being the only one with honesty and integrity. I wish you the best in your career.
