About Us

Hello and Welcome! We’re Danae and Jerrid, a husband and wife wedding photography team based out of Mankato, MN and are always looking for an excuse to venture away from home.  We photograph every wedding together, and we truly love creating a natural and fun experience for our clients.  Here are a few fun facts about us:
  • We love fur babies and have 1 rabbit and 2 cats. ​
  • A few of our guilty pleasures are Netflix, craft beer and cheese.

The Wedding Experience

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS and we are glad you found us!  ​You're in the right place if you...
  • Have an adventurous streak.
  • Prefer light, bright and emotional photos over dark images or stiff poses.
  • Want easy, no-nonsense all day photography coverage for your wedding with 2 photographers 

Engagement Sessions

Engagement sessions are the perfect time to take a few moments away from the craziness of wedding planning to celebrate your love and preserve this priceless time in your lives. Our goal is to both provide photos for you to treasure, and also help make the experience a meaningful celebration of your love together. 

Other Sessions

High School Grads, Families and Babies, Oh My! We know how quick every different stage in life goes by, and we'd love to help you pause this moment in time. 



We'd Love to Hear from You!

What can I say about Danae and Jerrid?? They are simply amazing! We kind of stumbled upon them while searching for photographers for our wedding. It was like we found our four leaf clover 🍀 They put so much time and energy and thought into everything they did. The beautiful photos speak for themselves! Roy and I have found our life long photographers!!
These two did a wonderful job with our pictures. They even brought a warming tent for us to change in, champagne to cheers to and were open to all our ideas! They were super quick to get our pictures back to us as well! Thank you for capturing this exciting time in our lives!
