After celebrating my own 16th wedding anniversary, my partner and I have truly been able to reflect on what is important on a wedding day, and I'm here to bring the wisdom to you! I believe that digital photography and images are a HUGE gift and can provide us with so many more memories than we were previously able to retain. And, just like reading a physical book vs. an e-book, prints hit different. You're not photographing your own wedding — you're trusting a professional to lead you through the best experience you can have and to give you the best art you can get.

Awarded Best of Zola
​From start to finish Jess was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and collaborative. Her skills as a photographer, editor, and creative professional were immediately apparent-- and very much appreciated when we received the photos of our special day. Jess was eager to meet us where we were at and come alongside us in achieving our vision for our wedding. She was adaptive and accommodating. We really cannot praise her highly enough. Put simply, she was an instrumental part of our wedding being a success. And now we have tangible memories that we will cherish forever. Not insignificantly among them, the absolute pleasure of working with Jess. Thank you!!

Hi, there! I am Allie, an internationally published fine art photographer. What's unique to my craft is the focus on small details to tell the complete story of your love. From your candid laughs together to the way your grandmother's eyes well with tears when she sees you walk down the aisle - no detail is too small. We’ve had so many sweet couples from around the world trust us - from our own backyard in MN to the Coasts & even Internationally. I've had the honor of being nominated as the Top 3 Photographers in MN & the experience of photographing over 150 weddings. But each feels completely unique & gives me the joy of butterflies

Awarded Best of Zola
First, we were immediately drawn to Allie’s timeless, bright, and airy photography style. From the moment that we spoke with Allie during our phone consultation, we felt very comfortable with her and knew she would be the perfect fit as our wedding photographer! Allie photographed our engagement session in downtown Stillwater, a boudoir session (Allie also designed a keepsake boudoir book that I gave to my husband as his wedding gift), and our wedding day. Throughout all of the sessions, Allie was kind, warm, patient, gave us helpful prompts/poses, and guided us every step of the way! Whenever I had questions regarding photography, Allie was very responsive and provided wonderful customer service. She also helped us to create a detailed photography timeline and shot list for the wedding day. On the wedding day, Allie and her second shooter were very professional, prepared, and helped to keep everyone on track, including the bridal party and our families. After the wedding, we received way more photos than we were expecting in our online gallery, which were beautifully edited with her special touch. Allie exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond in all areas. We’ll cherish our photos for years to come and highly recommend Alexandra Robyn Photo & Design!

Hi, I'm Kayla — your go-to hype girl behind the camera. I’m not just your wedding photographer—I’m your built-in bestie, hype girl, and calm in the chaos. From fluffing your dress to fixing flyaways and cracking jokes when nerves hit, I’ve got you. I’m here to make sure you feel confident, relaxed, and totally yourself while capturing every moment—big, small, and everything in between. Your wedding day should feel as good as it looks, and your photos should reflect the real, joy-filled magic of it all. Let’s create something beautiful you’ll never forget.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kayla for both maternity and newborn photos— and we couldn’t be more grateful. At 39 weeks pregnant, I wasn’t feeling my most glamorous, but Kayla made me feel beautiful and comfortable throughout the entire shoot. She has such a calming, encouraging presence and a natural eye for capturing the sweetest, most genuine moments. They are photos I didn’t know I needed and they will be so special to look back on. When our son Charlie arrived, Kayla came back for his newborn session, and once again, she delivered the most stunning photos. She was so gentle and patient with him, taking her time to get the perfect shots while making sure he was cozy and content. The final photos truly took our breath away—timeless, heartfelt, and full of emotion. Kayla’s passion for photography shines through in every image. She captured moments we will cherish forever, and we’re so thankful to have these memories beautifully preserved. Jason (my husband) and I couldn’t thank her enough for sharing her talent with us during such a special time in our lives. Thank you, Kayla!

If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Meredith is amazing! She's so easy to work with, she kept up with my neurotic emails and texts. She's great at communicating all details and scheduling. She is just the most down to earth soul you'll meet. She did a fantastic job at corralling my family for our group picture. I have a HUGE family, and it's not easy to get us all in one spot (especially with children and babies all over) But Meredith was so patient with us. She managed to get AMAZING shots in the chaos. Everyone loved her aura. She really captured the love that was shared that day. I am forever grateful for her capturing our special day.
