For Lovers craving an authentic and intentional approach based in Minneapolis, Minnesota
Minnesota Documentary Film Wedding Photography
Get the "must have" group photos efficiently with my streamlined group photo planning process. I'll get everyone together, posed, and it'll be over within 30 minutes. And of course I'll be capturing candids throughout the transition moments.
Efficient & Beautiful Group Photos
Timeless imagery starts with authentic, organic posing. Instead of stiff poses or awkward positions, I guide you through portraits with ease alongside movement-oriented prompts.
Posing that goes beyond gender
You'll receive classic black and white edits of all your color-edited images. Black and white pictures never go out of style--no matter how much time has passed.
Black & White Images
I'm always encouraging you to go with what feels right--your day should feel like yours. Together, we’ll brainstorm and craft a timeline that fits your desires.
Flexibility And Freedom
All my services include hybrid film and digital coverage--just as you like it! I shoot on a mix of Digital, 35mm Film, Polaroids, Super 8, & Retro Camcorders. It's up to you to decide how much coverage you desire.
Film and Digital imagery
With a minimum of 8 hours of coverage, you won't have to worry about how much time you have with me. Instead, prioritize living in the moment and I'll make the candid magic happen.
Luxury of time for candid magic
What I'm Known For
My style comes from a balanced blend of documentary and editorial influences. I love capturing both carefully composed portraits and spontaneous, real-life moments. My focus is on integrating into the environment and allowing you the space to be in the present moment. I'm inspired by authentic, timeless images with a film-inspired aesthetic.

Wedding Photo & Video Pricing
When you book both photo and video, I bring in a trusted expert associate—a skilled photographer with years of wedding experience. They're trained in my style—documentary, editorial, and candid—so their work and attitude meshes with mine. This isn’t the same as a second photographer; they’re someone I’d trust to photograph my own wedding independently.
While I focus on capturing your day on speciality Super 8 film, my expert associate captures digital photos of key moments, like your first look or your ceremony kiss. That way vintage video and modern photo are captured at the exact same time. They step in when I’m loading or unloading film, we work in sync to make sure nothing is missed.
Your main focus is always with me, and my associate works quietly but confidently to support the vision. Every expert associate is up to my very high standards.
So where are we going --the North Shore or the Courthouse?

I know how excited you will be, which is why I send out 5-15 images as a sneak peek within the first week. Your final edited gallery will be ready within 8-12 weeks after your wedding.

Yes! I photograph all flavors of elopements (just-us elopements, courthouse elopements, adventure elopements, backyard elopements, and small group elopements).

To provide the highest photography experience, I do not photograph events under 4 hours of coverage. I promise it won't feel like having a whole photoshoot.

"You’ve made a lifelong impact and others would be so lucky to have the opportunity to work with you."
" Brianna far exceeded our (very high) expectations. She perfectly captured the beauty of every moment of our day. Plus, the super 8 film is stunning! It is amazing the emotion that Brianna captures in her work. And, as if it couldn't get any better, we felt such a genuine connection to Brianna. She was incredibly affirming to both me and my partner. I simply cannot imagine a better experience than the one we got with Brianna. If you are looking for a photographer who is responsive to your requests, a true artist, and affirming of queer love then look no further because Brianna is a perfect fit!"
Annie & Rhys
"I love her editing style and her documentary style photos! Book her you will be happy you did!
"Brianna went above and beyond in every way from the planning calls to the execution the day of my wedding. She helped me bring my Pinterest board to life and captured the feeling of my Bach party, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception perfectly. She was great to work with and listened to all my ideas and helped me plan my perfect timeline. I loved how all the pictures turned out I can’t believe how great she made me and my husband look! I love her editing style and her documentary style photos! Book her you will be happy you did!"
Erika & Trey
"She goes above and beyond for her clients in ways that many other photographers probably wouldn’t."
"Right off the bat, Brianna makes you feel like you’ve been best friends for years. Her professionalism and quality of work are unmatched. She makes you feel super comfortable and is great at creating flattering poses that turn out amazing on camera. She kept reminding my husband and I to live in the moment and take it all in as we were taking our photos. It really helped us slow down the day and appreciate the moment for what it was! She gave us the gift of being able to relive our special day forever with her work. We could not recommend Brianna Kirk Photography enough!"
Lindsey & Shawn
"Nothing stopped her from getting beautiful pictures, even amidst questionable weather."
"Brianna is beyond amazing and talented. We had two wonderful experiences between our engagement session and wedding. Both were outside with questionable weather at times. Nothing stopped her from getting beautiful pictures. If your looking a photographer you can’t go wrong with Brianna"

Caitlyn & Luka
" she is so easy going, helpful, and friendly!"
"Brianna photographed my wedding and did an absolute amazing job! She did research on different outdoor locations that would work well for photos near my venue so I didn't have to. I had many guests ask how long she and I had been friends since she is so easy going and were shocked to hear we had just met each other for the first time in person that day! (we had all of our communication over email, facetime, phone). The final results of our photos were fantastic and I couldn't recommend her more!"
Mandy & Will
"Well Brianna was AMAZING to work with! Couldn't recommend her enough!"
"How do I even begin? Well Brianna was AMAZING to work with! Couldn't recommend her enough! The photos were great! I have enjoyed looking at them ever since we've received them. I'm still trying to figure out which ones I want to put in a album. She even caught some interesting facial expressions from me."
Marietta & Sam
"She makes sure that whoever she is working with feels comfortable around her and in front of the camera."
"Brianna was a lot of fun to work with! She was super flexible with scheduling and was very responsive. She arrived at the location we picked out before us to scope out spots to shoot at. She makes sure that whoever she is working with feels comfortable around her and in front of the camera. She helped us with posing--which was very appreciated! She did a great job with our photos and got them back to us very quickly."
