We cannot stop raving about Angela Divine Photography. We are not a couple comfortable in front of…read morethe camera, but Angela can solved that. She made the process easy, comfortable, and a blast. Her work is phenomenal. She strikes the perfect balance of capturing those small moments between people, and creating that dramatic shot you didn't think was possible. She thinks out of the box, and isn't afraid to go the extra mile to get that perfect photo. We fell in love with her the minute we met for a consultation and she told us "It's not my job to manufacture a beautiful photo. Your love story is already that, it's just my job to get it on film". In our engagement/wedding photos she managed to capture our personalities on film, looking better than we ever have before. Our families commented on the day that Angela Knox was one of the nicest people they've ever met and we agree. They also commented how she was able to do her job so well, going to different tables and asking them if they wanted specific group shots. She was able to get a lot of exciting photos that we, the bride and groom, didn't have to worry about. She was a professional and knew what she was doing at our wedding. She also will go the extra mile for anything. She showed this to us by helping the Groom's family surprise us with a canvas print of one of our engagement photos taken by her, ensuring that the person making the canvas print has the correct photo type and file to work with. Hire her immediately. For everything. You will not regret it. We will be a repeat customer for anything requiring a professional photographer. Thanks for everything you did to make our day wonderful Angela!

You cannot possibly capture your wedding day in a more profoundly meaningful way than what you get…read morewhen you hire Chris Martin and his team. The guys at Sky Focus were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. They were respectful of my budget but their services truly are worth every cent that they charge. Chris and Paresh were extremely professional yet very warm on the day of our wedding. They seemed happy to be there and we were honored to have them. It was about 3 months in between our wedding and when we received the trailer and DVD (no big deal--I had no preconceived notions of when this should arrive) and it was the most beautiful surprise when it did. Obviously in hiring these guys I'd viewed countless trailer videos online, but seeing their cinematic camera work and insightful editing eye applied to our day was absolutely breathtaking. There are not enough flattering adjectives in the dictionary to describe how we feel about this video. I am confident that our children's children will watch it and feel a tugging on their heart strings for how in love their grandparents were. I am serious--it's impossible even a stranger to watch this and not feel something. Just to be totally up front about this, please, watch our trailer on the Sky Focus website and see what you think: http://www.skyfocusblog.com/emily-jeff-trailer/ We cannot thank Sky Focus enough, and so the way we will continue to thank them is to send them as many brides as humanly possible. If you think you can live without videography, you are WRONG. Pictures won't cut it. Our photographer was amazing, but there are nuances that still images will always miss. If you have the ability to hire Sky Focus for your wedding, I am beyond confident that you will be over the moon with the result.

My fiance was not on board with hiring a wedding videographer. Let's be honest, it's a little…read moreexpensive when you're trying to keep things budget. That was before we spent three hours together browsing through Sky Focus's blog and watching the assortment of beautiful, high-quality, tear-jerking wedding videos of total and complete strangers. Of course, Matt changed his mind and there we were, all set up with Sky Focus for our wedding day videography. Fast forward a few months and we're preparing for a family vacation of fourteen of us in the Dominican Republic. We were trying to figure out the perfect Christmas gift for my elderly grandparents, when I remembered Sky Focus's "Honeymoon" package. Essentially, Sky Focus supplies you with an HD Go Pro, you take it on your honeymoon, take the footage of a lifetime, and give it back to Sky Focus to edit. Then, voila, an amazing honeymoon documentary. We decided this was the perfect idea for our family trip, and Sky Focus was all for it. After a week of taking so-so footage, we were apprehensive about how our video would turn out. Well, we were wrong. Chris turned the video around in less than a week and it was no less magical than any of his gorgeous wedding videos. Without any suggestions from us, he nailed the music, the vibe, the sentiment, and everything good there was to be had on our family vacation. One family member was missing from the film and I let Chris know--my fault, since I didn't give him a "family list" of people to make sure were included. Within three hours he had that family member smoothly fit into the video like it had been there all along. I cannot say enough about Sky Focus's raw, artistic talent, dedication, and ability to story tell with few words. After this, we are more excited than ever for our wedding film. If he can make something so wonderful out of such mediocre footage (that we, unsophisticated, wobbly, awkward videographers took) we have no doubt about our big day. Highly, highly recommend.

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 think the…read morestrongest evidence of their talent is their product - so definitely read this review, but also be sure to take a minute to go to www.capturestudios.com and watch a couple of the wedding highlight videos they've created, because that's the best proof of how good they are. Capture Studios is able to really capture the spirit of the event and the specific couple involved - though they cover a lot of weddings, their videos never seem boilerplate at all - one of the primary comments I got back from friends and family that saw our highlight video was, "Wow... that's exactly you guys!" The one thing all their videos do have in common is their very high quality. Even watching the other highlight videos (of strangers I've never met) often gets me teary-eyed, because the emotional message is so well portrayed. Capture Studios gets the right shots, chooses the perfect selections of audio, and matches it with the perfect song. (The last thing I was really wary of at first - I couldn't imagine how they could pick a song I'd never heard before and be sure it would work for my wedding video, but when I saw the end product, it was amazing, and the song was perfect!) Part of the reason I think they're able to do such a great job, other than their obvious technical skill, is the fact that they really take the time to get to know you. We met with our videographers for a nice long chat before the wedding, and they answered all of our questions, and we got to know each other. When they came to the wedding to film, they fit right in with the group. They blend into the background and were able to get amazing footage that showed not only the overall atmosphere, but also caught some really great individual moments and emotions.
