We're so excited to be the first to review DnK Photography!! It doesn't get any more complicated than this... Dan and Karin are AMAZING. Their work is AMAZING, their style is AMAZING, the experience you will have with them will be AMAZING.Where do I start...? We have had DnK shoot photos for us about 5 times now and the results have been superb every time!When we first met DnK we were looking for a wedding photographer. We met with about half a dozen photographers in the Twin Cities and DnK were the only ones who seemed to be really enthusiastic about our big day. That was a big plus, of course, but even better than that they went out their way to understand our ideas for the big day even though it was just our initial meeting and we hadn't made any commitments to them yet. My wife and I got a of confidence, very quickly, that they would do a fantastic job for us. The wedding photos turned out perfectly, better than we could have hoped. We had a lot of ideas ourselves but Dan and Karin both came up with really fun and cool ideas on the fly, all of which came out wonderfully. Dan is great at the action shots and coming up with unique ideas in real time as he sees folks interacting and moving around. Karin's portraits and group shots are second to none and her detail shots are sensational. Together they make such a great team and compliment each other really well. We also had the videography option too and that also blew us away.On the big day Dan and Karin were on time (important! :o) and they did a great job or organizing everyone. They kept us on track but at the same time made everyone feel at ease and just helped us enjoy ourselves! (Personally, I don't really like having my photo taken, so the idea of wedding and family photos was enough to make me cut straight to the booze at the reception but DnK managed to take all my nerves away and I really did enjoy myself. It was like magic! Ha!) Immediately after the wedding, on the Monday, we did a "Trash the Dress" shoot at the MN State Fair. Let me tell you - it was a BLAST! Despite it being hot, with hundreds of being constantly surrounding us... it was SO MUCH FUN!! DnK's photos of this shoot were every bit as good as the wedding itself! In fact, in summer several of our photos were used by the Fair as a promo for the event!! How cool!? Since the wedding we have been back again and again. My wife is a musical theatre actress, she has had them shoot her promotional shots for her website and they also shot the photos for a production at The MN History Theatre which have been used two years in a row by the theatre.I could go on and on... but I'll close by saying this: Give DnK a chance, they won't let you down. They will give you incredible value and you will LOVE the results!! Next stop... Pregnancy photos please Dan and Karin! Then baby photos! Then... well, you get the picture... :o)

Incredible service and quality, need i say more!?Dan worked with me and my SO other on valentine's day to take pictures of us, he personally took time out of his day to meet us, i even told him that we were running late (1 hour prior to the meet up time), and he was still extremely helpful /understanding. Thanks Dan, for an amazing job, we are both very happy with the pics!!!

When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find pictures that I connected with. I ran across DnK's website. I hadn't seen their advertisements, or website or rankings on wedding sites, so I was a half heartily looking at their pictures, but I fell in love with their photos. That was in 2010, they've been nominated for all sorts of stuff now because they deserve it!As luck would have it, they were available the day we needed! So we met to interview them and I walked out of there and told my fiance at the time - there is no need to interview anyone else. I want them. They were so prepared when we met, but prepared like photographers are, somewhat disorganized, but they knew were everything was but totally on top of it. They were quit the duo to watch. They had their business side down, pricing was prepared, photos were in hand, they knew each others strengths so they let the other focus on their side of the business. We started asking all the "suppose to ask questions" wedding sites suggest you ask, but quickly just started talking. We connected, it was great. What really sold me was I asked "Come on, you have some crazy bridezilla moments, right?" The response was amazing after giggling at the question, "we haven't had any because those are not the types of brides we attract." - they said it much more professional though.The turn around time on the photos was as expected, email response was as expected (note brides - you are not the business's only customer, don't expect an answer for every little question within 24 hrs no matter the business you are talking to), but the quality of our photos by far surpassed expectations. The photo booth was a gem, the candid photos they caught captured the people's personality to a T. Most of all the photos of my husband and I captured our relationship and the mood of the day just perfectly.

Dan and Karin did an incredible job photographing our April 2017 wedding. Not only are they both extremely talented, but they were a pleasure to spend our day with. They focused on getting the shots that were most important to us, which we really appreciated. Our venue has very limited light, but Dan and Karin handled it like pros and our photos look amazing. Thank you DnK!

Who needs a wedding planner when you have phenomenal photographers?! DnK Photography did our engagement pictures and wedding photography, and we were extremely impressed with their organization, attention to detail, kindness, and amazing skills. Months before the wedding Karin worked with me to plan the wedding weekend itinerary, making sure each event would run smoothly. On the wedding day she made sure each girl's hair and makeup would photograph perfect before we left the salon. Dan's planning and attention to detail with each photograph they took was amazing. The photo booth at the reception was also a blast! Throughout the entire experience Dan and Karin were kind, caring, patient, and flexible. We love how our pictures turned out and enjoyed our time spent with DnK Photography! We highly recommend them!

Dan and Karin were so amazing to work with. We did both our engagement picture and wedding pictures with them. We loved how the two worked together and the variety that we got with both of their styles. Not only did they doing some incredible shots with nature in the background but they also caught all of our most intimate and emotional moments. Their pictures are a work of art. They are like nothing we have seen before. It rained the night of our wedding and they brought us outside for pictures and let's just say the pictures look like they are in some sort of an enchanted forest. Dan and Karin were also really easy to work with and fun. Karin was always checking in to see if we needed anything and making sure all details were taken care of (hair, makeup, etc.). The two of them together are an amazing team. We have gotten a ton of compliments on our engagement pictures and the few wedding pictures we have seen so far. We are VERY impressed!! :).
