Our daughter, 14, is naturally nervous in new situations - but John created such a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that she "fell right into place." His studio is super cool, located in a historic warehouse, recently renovated in NE MPLS. It has a rustic, yet fashionable feeling, with neat wood floors and a huge metal door that opens up to a old loading dock. When we left our daughter asked if John would be shooting for all the events in the future. And we giggled. Probably not. But that's what she was hoping for. :-)

Lisa Asp is great! My dog and I participated in the second…read moreannual save-a-bull calender fundraiser. Our session was 45-minutes. The studio is small but variable with the space. The outside is well groomed and maintained for outdoor photos. Inside there are plenty of backdrops and furniture. Lisa chose the best one for my dog and she really knew what was best. The photos turned out beautiful! After our session she invited me back to review the photos. She has a great program to yes, no and maybe everything and even has a slide show made so you can see everything prior to narrowing them down. It was so much fun! There are plenty of options on what to choose to buy as well. Prints as well as albums, canvases. Really anything you could want. It was rather pricey and I could only afford to get two prints (out of a lot!) but the quality of the work is worth it.

Tangerine House of Design is a top notch photo studio. Lisa Asp is professional and the pictures…read moreare the highest quality. She catches the small, unexpected moments and is able to capture the moment. The work she does with pet photos is wonderful. I love being able to get high quality photos of my pets and giving a donation to a charity helps me feel good about helping out. Be sure to watch for the pet photo deals that are run. The senior photo sessions she does are great. She works with you so the pictures help express your own personality and not the typical generic senior photo session. She can be a go to photographer for all your needs.

Hard to write a review about Andrew because it feels like reviewing your family. And I guess that…read moresays it all. 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.

Our daughter is gorgeous but very shy and hates having her picture taken. However, knowing that Allison was going to be doing it, she was totally into it and had a few styles prepared in advance. When Allison saw our daughter's outfits, she knew exactly what sort of background to use to photograph her in and walked us to some cool architectural buildings to complement our daughter's design aesthetic. The pictures turned out amazing and of course I bought them all (jpgs). Are family is interracial and Allison is a pro at getting the lighting just right for all our skin tones. I give her a 10 out of 5 any day of the week!

Allison is our go-to for pain-free, beautiful photography.

Being from out of state, she worked around our schedule to find slots to take our engagement photos and was super quick whenever I had a question arise. Her style and eye is great and she has a way to capture photos without them being too posed. I have heard horror stories of weddings where the bride and groom waited months to get back their photos, not only did Laurie get us a couple photos in a few days for some thank you cards... but she delivered the rest way faster than we expected. She plans out the shot list with you advance, and this helps tremendously to get a sense of timing for your event and when and where people need to be. We were both very happy to find her. And we enjoy looking back at our photos and framing them around the house.

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.

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.
