I could never get one of my kids to let me take their picture let alone smile for one. Jason was able to get him comfortable in front of the camera and got plenty of smiles. He makes the sessions fun and engages the kids by asking them about favorite sports, music, movies, etc. So if you're in need of a professional photographer, call Jason at Lasting Moments. You'll be glad you did.

Jesse and his wife Lisa were our wedding photographers at Lutsen Resort in 2009…read more My wife and I met several wedding photographers before choosing Jesse. After meeting Jesse, we didn't bother looking anywhere else. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. Jesse was extremely talented and professional, and didn't give us a smarmy sales pitch. He also gave us a very flexible package, including the rights to print as many images as we wanted. I also didn't know we were paying for a two-person team. He and his wife Lisa came to the ceremony at noon, took pictures through the dinner and the dance, and then hung around with us after the dance at the bonfire, where they took a few pictures for free. We got four times the talent for about half the price. Everyone who has seen the pictures remarks on the high quality of Jesse's work, including a high school friend in the film business. I would recommend these two photographers to anyone who wants a highly creative, talented team of photographers with no complications.

They have numerous props, provide you with a book of every photo, and have a black and white option in addition to color.

We googled and compared reviews of local officiants. We wanted to hire someone that was affordable and able to direct a rehearsal. We got paired with Cara Tollefson through Minnesota Officiants. We had a sit down to meet Cara at a location that was convenient for the three of us. When we met Cara she gave us a lot of information and answered all of our many questions. We instantly got a good vibe from her. Although the cost of services was a little more than we had budgeted we recognized it was due to the fact that we wanted rehearsal time to be added in there. Cara didn't once pressure us to pay any kind of deposit but instead simply explained that if we wanted to pursue her services that we just needed to mail in a signed contract and a deposit. After we sent the deposit within the week she sent us a ceremony planner. This walked us through all the elements of the wedding with many options of each. With this planner we were able to pick and choose our readings, ritual, opening/closing remarks, etc. There was plenty flexibility to get as traditional or unique as we wanted. We opted for a simple and short non-denominatial ceremony. Cara was very responsive and helpful via email and even offered to meet in person as needed. Cara was absolutely fabulous!! The day before at the rehearsal we walked through everything and that was VERY helpful. I appreciate that she was willing to rehearse with us. She did a fabulous job of directing everyone. The ceremony felt so personal and everything she said was heartfelt. I'm sure she does a ton of weddings and it meant so much that she was genuinely happy and excited for us. She had an amazing energy and many people commented on what an wonderful job she did. Our wedding day was so special, it meant so much to have Cara there! I'm so happy we trusted our guts with our first meeting. She was absolutely fabulous and facilitated a beautiful and meaningful ceremony.

Our first meeting with Jim was at The Wilde Roast in NE (his recommendation) and we knew within five minutes that we wanted him to officiate our wedding ceremony. He was well-organized, amicably professional, and listened to our thoughts/concerns while providing great feed back. Exactly what we needed. We were looking for someone who seemed capable of delivering a seamless presentation. After only meeting a few times before our wedding day and without any prior rehearsal, Jim exceeded our highest expectations. He eliminated any and all worry from the entire process - allowing us to relax and focus on each other. Through thoughtful prepping and communication, he helped us to create a beautiful ceremony that accurately represented us as a couple and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Thanks Jim!

I wandered in with my cousin who is getting married this summer and she was looking for a tiara. They had quite a few and she tried some on, but she has envisioned the perfect tiara for her and she just hasn't found it yet. The employee who helped us was friendly and more than willing to answer questions patiently. It's a cute little shop with a wide variety of items available. Even gowns in all different shapes and sizes. No flower girl baskets, but it's more of a boutique, so I didn't expect them to have everything.
