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.

I didn't know what to expect, but Mark was very warm, friendly, and helpful. It made me feel much more comfortable since I was nervous about having so much pressure to get a good headshot! He coached me on poses / looks for many of my photos and I think they turned out a lot better because of it. He has a great eye for detail -- which is definitely needed when the headshot needs to make a great first impression! He also took extra time during the session to make sure I was happy with the photo set and adjusted anything as needed. He's a true pro and I really recommend him for anyone who needs great photos!

Mark is a solid choice. I wanted professional headshots done for the first time, I was extremely…read morenervous about the process. Mark's easy going personality made the process of preparing a breeze. He sent helpful information on picking my attire and answered all of my questions in a timely, friendly manner. Let me tell you, I ask a lot of questions to calm my anxiety. Mark is highly skilled in his craft from beginning to end. He put me at ease with his warm welcome to the studio, his humor and wonderful playlist. He took charge in finalizing my attire, making sure the lighting was perfect, teaching me how to pose and putting a smile on my face the whole time. The end product was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience than Mark gave me for my first set of headshots. I look forward to hiring Mark in the future. One other bonus of hiring Mark, his studio mates have beautiful art around the building.

I told Jay this at the beginning of the session and he went above and beyond to make me feel more comfortable and relaxed. It was like getting a shot from a really great doctor as a kid.

Rod Oman has created the last two iterations of my professional head shot; I have consistently…read moregotten compliments for how great they are. The pictures convey not just a visual image but my energy; not only do I feel that way - my audience tells me the same thing. No doubt Rod's easy banter during each photo shoot makes all the difference in bringing that out. Even though the camera doesn't usually "love" me, Rod makes it look easy. He finds lighting, camera angles and plain background tones that bring out the best in my appearance. I always get so many great options from which to choose. In fact, narrowing it down is always the hardest part and even the decision process is something they make easier. Rod is a consummate professional and Stephanie extends that with the way she manages the schedule and the studio. I adore them both and recommend them and their work without hesitation.
