Micro Wedding Photography in Minneapolis & St. Paul
Intentional wedding photography for intimate celebrations, meaningful moments, and Minnesota couples celebrating your love your way.
Not every wedding needs a massive guest list or a ballroom packed with hundreds of people to be unforgettable.
Some of the most meaningful weddings are the smallest ones.
At Storyteller Co, we specialize in documenting intimate weddings and micro weddings throughout Minneapolis and Saint Paul for couples who value connection, presence, and authenticity over tradition for tradition’s sake.
Whether you're planning a private ceremony with your closest people, a dinner party reception at your favorite restaurant, or a full wedding weekend centered around experience rather than expectations, we create photographs that feel emotional, cinematic, and true to your story.
What Is a Micro Wedding?
A micro wedding combines the intentionality of an elopement with the structure and celebration of a traditional wedding — just on a smaller scale.
Micro weddings typically consist of:
- Fewer than 50 guests
- Intimate ceremony spaces
- Personalized experiences
- Thoughtful details
- Nontraditional timelines
- Meaningful guest interactions
- Relaxed, experience-focused celebrations
Micro weddings allow couples to spend more time with the people they love most while creating a wedding day that actually feels like them.
From rooftop ceremonies in downtown Minneapolis to candlelit dinners in St. Paul restaurants, backyard celebrations, brewery receptions, art gallery weddings, and garden ceremonies, intimate weddings create space for genuine moments that deserve to be documented honestly.
Testimonials
Kayla and Zoey were able to capture all the big and little moments from our elopement, some that I didn't even see until I was looking back on the photos. They are incredibly thoughtful, kind, and gifted storytellers. The photos are exactly how we envisioned, and more importantly how it actually felt to be there on our elopement day. We are absolutely in love with them.

Testimonials
Kayla and Zoey are an amazing duo who gave us a world-class experience that didn't put us into big debt. 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 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!
T & J
Testimonials
I could write a whole book on why I loved having Kayla and Zoey document our wedding day. They helped my now husband feel SO comfortable in front of the camera, and worked with us to capture the real emotions and feeling of the day. We trusted them fully, and it shows. Our photos are perfection.

Documentary Photography for Intimate Weddings
Our photography style is candid, documentary-inspired, and people-centered.
Instead of overly posed photos or constant interruptions throughout your day, we focus on preserving real interactions as they naturally unfold:
- Emotional vows
- Quiet in-between moments
- Guests embracing after the ceremony
- Shared laughter during dinner
- Movement, atmosphere, and connection
- The little details that become your memories later
We’ll guide you when needed while allowing your wedding to unfold organically so your images feel natural rather than staged.
The result is a wedding gallery that feels deeply personal — full of emotion, movement, and the energy of the day exactly as it happened.

A Relaxed Experience for Couples Who Don’t Want Stiff Wedding Photos
Many couples planning micro weddings are intentionally choosing a more relaxed and personal experience — and your photography should feel the same way.
You do not need to spend your wedding day performing for the camera.
Our approach is collaborative, unobtrusive, and focused on helping you stay present with the people you love. We create space for natural interactions while documenting the atmosphere and emotion of the day as it unfolds.
This balance creates imagery that feels elevated and artistic while still remaining honest and human.

We proudly photograph weddings for couples of all identities, backgrounds, and relationship structures.
At Storyteller Co, we believe the best wedding photography comes from creating an environment where people feel safe, comfortable, and fully themselves.
Your wedding does not need to fit a traditional mold to be beautiful and deeply meaningful.

Micro weddings create room for intentionality:
- Longer conversations with guests
- Personalized experiences
- Less pressure and stress
- More emotional connection
