Minnesota Wedding and Elopement Photography
For Lovers craving an authentic and intentional approach based in Minneapolis
My ultimate goal is to freeze your powerful moments and transport you back to the sheer joy, contagious laughter, heartfelt tears, and overwhelming love that filled the air on your special day.
These images are not just photographs; they are precious memories that will be passed on for generations to come.
Spend less time getting the "must have" group photos so you can go back to celebrating with your community. I make it stress-free with my streamlined formal group photo list. I'll get everyone together, posed, and it'll be over within 30 minutes.
Efficient & Beautiful Group Photos
Timeless imagery starts with authentic, organic posing. Instead of stiff poses or awkward positions, I guide you through movement-oriented prompts. When you look back at your images, you will see yourselves—the true essence of who you are as a couple—reflected in every frame.
Posing that goes beyond gender
You'll receive classic black and white edits of your color-editied images. Black and white pictures will 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. We design your timeline based off of your needs, not mine. Your experience is designed with flexibility to capture your most important moments.
Flexibility And Freedom
I shoot a mix of 35mm film, Polaroids, Super 8, and digital images on your wedding day. Because what's more timeless than a visual format that's already stood the test of time?
Film and Digital imagery
With a minimum of half day coverage, you'll receive a true visual reflection of your wedding day. You won't have to worry about how much time you have with your photographer. Instead, prioritize living in the moment and I'll make the candid magic happen.

My photography style
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.

I am based out of Minnesota and am happy to travel wherever your love takes us! My passport is ready for any adventure. My services include travel within Minnesota, travel anywhere else is quoted separately. All I need is transportation (either fuel or a flight), lodging for a minimum of 3 days, and food. Inquire with me and we'll figure out your specific details.
You'll receive 600-1000+ photos based on the duration of your coverage. I'm capturing every candid moment including those typically overlooked by others. I'm committed to providing a complete gallery without withholding any of your special memories.
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 6-8 weeks after your wedding. You'll receive your gallery digitally where you can download, view, share, and print your images for up to two years.
You can easily order fine-art quality prints, canvases, and albums directly through your online gallery. I partner with industry leading print labs to provide the highest-quality products that are up archival standards. The kind of heirloom album will withstand the years! I also include a print release with all my work so you ultimately have the freedom to print your memories however you'd like.
Yes! Yes! YES! As a queer photographer, I never want anyone to feel like they don’t belong in the wedding world. Because you do. Love is love.
Yes! I photograph all flavors of elopements (just-us elopements, courthouse elopements, adventure elopements, backyard elopements, and small group elopements). If your celebration is under 25 guests and your getting married Monday - Thursday, I have special wedding photography packages just for you. 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.
Fill out my contact form. Shortly after, we will get to know each other and talk about your vision and all the details over Google Meet. If we connect and the vibe is right, you will sign a contract and pay a 30% nonrefundable deposit that goes towards your total cost. The remaining balance is set up on a payment plan with the final payment due one month before your wedding date. After this step, you will officially secure your wedding date with me. I look forward to being part of your plans!
"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"
Dria & James

She is really good about keeping people and photos on track and was very organized. She's so creative and talented, she worked to recreate fun inspirational shots I had really wanted and made sure to get images of everyone on my list. I would definitely recommend her work!!!"
Sarah & Tyler

Being a professional photographer myself, I highly recommend Brianna to take any type of photos. Her creativity is awe inspiring."
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."
