I have friends that are "photographers" on Facebook that have shot weddings and those pictures are completely awful, Coppersmith photography actually cares about their shots and does really good post production work. Quality cost money and takes time and they are worth every penny.

Amy and Matt are true professionals. My husband and I wanted to capture all of the moments of our…read morewedding day, and they came through in spades. Every shot is Pinterest-worthy. If you want photos your friends will be jealous of, but aren't sure how to achieve that, hire Coppersmith. You're not just buying someone who knows how to hold a camera and edit photos, you're buying their minds and ideas. While we knew what style of photography we wanted, we had no idea how to achieve them. My husband's one request was a photo of the bridal party that looked liked a "cast shot" from a TV show. They ran with the idea, found a gorgeous background, posed the 14 person party, and captured a great moment. Throughout the whole day, they were always thinking of creative angles and set ups to capture every moment. After the ceremony (we did the photos before), they proactively found scenes to photograph, truly working for the full 8 hours we had hired them. The benefits did not end with the night however. More than a thousand photographs (without the annoying watermarks) were edited and uploaded to our personal website (with an app) before we were even home from our honeymoon. Given that our friends and families are spread throughout the country and world, it was so easy to share the photos by just sending them the link. We didn't have to worry about finding a website to host hundreds of GBs of data and then upload from a CD or flash drive. They did that all for us!

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.

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.

Kayla and Zach are an amazing duo who gave us a world-class experience that didn't put us into big…read moredebt. I was engaged in July 2022 and planned to be married in September 2022. From the get go, Kayla was super responsive through email and social media, which was great given the timeframe. We were working on a small budget with an elopement-style wedding and just a few guests. Kayla and Zach were accommodating and worked out a package that fit into our budget without compromising too much of the coverage we wanted. Kayla kept in regular contact throughout the process and I was never lost or confused. I was planning everything myself and they didn't make me feel small for not having an extravagant event that fit into a particular aesthetic, which was a problem I ran into with similarly skilled videographers. Overall, their customer experience is amazing and they are so supportive from start to finish. On the day-of, Kayla and Zach were punctual and communicative. I had the pleasure of having Kayla filming my bridal prep, and my husband had Zach for groom prep. Both of them were incredibly nice and comfortable to be around. When it was time to start capturing moments, my husband appreciated how professional Zach was and noted that he knew exactly how to capture the important moments, especially between my husband and his mother. Kayla was incredible to work with and felt like part of our girl group over at the bridal prep. She managed to fade into the background at moments and give us space to enjoy our time together, but popped in at perfect moments to guide shots we may not have thought of. We found out after getting photos back that both Kayla and Zach had staged various photos of our rings and other details which were so lovely and wouldn't have crossed our minds to ask for. At the actual wedding site, Kayla and Zach worked together to capture everything. They really went the extra mile to make sure our day was represented as lovely and romantic as it felt for us as a couple. They even stayed a little longer than planned to get some final photos of our guests which we really appreciated. All in all, I cannot recommend Kayla and Zach enough. They made us feel so special and honored our day. Our budget and the wedding size wasn't treated negatively. They are also very socially aware and that was reflected in their work. Kayla made sure to get the important moments of my mom doing my hair, which is a very significant ritual as a Black woman, and she had so many ideas for creating my princess-like experience while working around a broken ankle, crutches and bandages and all. I was very impressed that the quality of editing also avoided washing out all the brown skin tones. Everything truly was a dream. I have no notes. Hire them!

She's professional, has an eye for detail, listens to you, easy going, and fun to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful photos and a great photoshoot experience and here's why. Prior to the day of our photoshoot, Joanna walked us through details to help us understand what to expect, while listening to our ideas of what we were hoping to capture from the photoshoot as well. She helped us design our coordinating outfits, (as I didn't realize so much goes into that!), and we discussed the "day of" expectations. It was helpful for me, as I am a detail person, and wanted to be absolutely prepared for my husband, young son, and I. On the day of our photoshoot, we were excited, and I have to admit I was a bit nervous, but the moment we stepped foot in Joanna's studio we really felt like stars. Joanna put lovely details into her studio and it makes you feel comfortable and glamorous at the same time. I honestly believe that speaks to Joanna as a photographer as well. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera so we could have real smiles and just be ourselves. I feel she actually captured us being us in that moment, but in a studio with lights and a camera. We had so much fun! When the shoot was over, we actually wished we could do more, but will have to save those ideas for a future family photo with Joanna.

During our session we were a little worried that there wouldn't be anything good because our just-turned-two-year-old was being so, shall we say, energetic. Boy were we wrong!

She knew just how to handle a little one with a short attention span, keeping things cheerful and adjusting the pace as needed to keep everyone happy. We used the photos on our Christmas cards and our friends and family have been ooohing and aaahing over the pictures, too!

Services we bought: Engagement photos, wedding invites, wedding photography and videography, photo booth, wedding video, wedding album and thank you cards. Preston and Liz helped us design our invites and thank you cards. They turned out amazing. We got so many compliment on them. The day of our wedding his entire team was early, set up and ready to go. They were so fun to work with and by the end of the day they felt like part of our family. Preston has this sixth sense about him where he have this ability to be in the right spots at the right time to not only get the perfect photo but to capture the emotion of what is happening. He has a passion for quality and exceeding expectations. Looking back on our big day my wife and I both agreed that it was by far the best money we spent on our wedding. The number one question or comment we got after was "Wow, who did you hire as the photographer?" "They were unbelievable!" Because of Preston and Liz and the whole Brovado crew, my wife and I are able to re-live our wedding for years to come. Our wedding video: https://vimeo.com/103744849

Our session was about a week ago and she already has the film edited and in an online gallery... and she traveled out of town for Thanksgiving in between. I was shocked when we received our gallery already! I am SO THRILLED with the pictures! They are breathtaking! I can't even put into words... looking at all of the images of our family makes my heart happy. I can't thank Megan enough. She was patient, friendly, and accommodating during the shoot (my son is 11 months so an hour photo session can be tricky). Will I recommend her to friends and family?! In a heartbeat! I will definitely get more pictures taken in the future. Megan, you are stuck with my family for life!
