Minnesota wedding photographer & storyteller

MEET DAKOTA

Beginning at the age of seven, the idea of a photograph has continually enthralled Dakota's creativity. With her first experience in wedding photography being a flower girl in a relatives wedding, she was gifted a disposable camera to document the day from her point of view. This led Dakota to fuel her passion whether it was looking through old family photo albums, dragging friends to "model" for her or simply just educating herself on the art of a photograph.

Dakota is a cat mama to four fur children. Yes, four, and if she could have more, she would. When she's not pouring herself into her passion projects, you'll find her aimlessly scrolling the Studio McGee & Co. page, enjoying her McDonald's crispy coke, or spending time with friends and family. 
These simple joys keep me grounded and continuously fuel my creativity.
