“We are incredibly happy with both our engagement photos and wedding photos with Kimberly! We've had so many compliments on the photos & editing and even had a friend choose Kimberly after seeing our photos. She had great suggestions on photo locations, poses, made us feel at ease, met with us beforehand, and was organized going into our big day.”

“I am so grateful that I found Kim to capture our wedding day! We did an engagement session with her as well, and she was incredibly easy to work with. We had been feeling a bit nervous about posed pictures but she put us at ease immediately with her chill demeanor and clear direction. We had a winter wedding in Duluth and she found beautiful, scenic backdrops for photos as well as captured candid moments throughout the day. I am beyond happy with the photos we received and would recommend her to anyone!”

“If you are looking for the best & most amazing photographer, you found her! Kim was our absolute favorite vendor of our wedding experience. My husband and I worked with her 3 times throughout the past year and loved every second of it! She is kind, outgoing & makes you feel incredible in front of the camera! Her photos are STUNNING, but the overall experience of having her apart of our big day was our favorite part! If you want to be in awe when looking at your photos, BOOK KIM!!!”
-Morgan Rogowski
I cannot recommend Kimberly enough!!! She captured both our engagement session and wedding day and the photos turned out absolutely incredible! Throughout our wedding planning process, Kimberly was very easy to contact, a fast responder, was always willing to answer the most random questions, and truly made our dream day come true! My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera but Kimberly was our hype woman and made us feel so comfortable! If your looking for a wedding photographer, book Kimberly!!!

"Is there a way to give more than 5 stars? From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, my husband and I have been blown away. Our wedding afternoon was nothing short of chaos and Kim went above and beyond to help us iron things out. Choose her as your photographer, you won’t regret it <3"
-Abby Thompson
"This review is long overdue, but, Kim was our wedding photographer back in September of 2024. I have never experienced such a calm and professional presence like Kim but she also was my ultimate hype girl. I truly felt like we were friends through the whole experience. She also did our engagement photos and we did a mini mommy and me session and had the same experience. She is truly phenomenal. I feel like her pricing is also very fair for what she gives and might I add we have over 1,000 pictures from our wedding. Talk about a gallery! Her style is crisp and clear and I love that she doesn’t edit a ton and more or less leaves the pictures fairly raw, but that was exactly the style I was looking for. Kim is 1000/10 and I would recommend her to anyone! 💗

"Kim is amazing & she’s the perfect photographer to have at all your big life events!! Kim has done our engagement, wedding, family & now newborn photos ~ and we are in love with them all. As a newly postpartum mom, there was a lot of anxiety going into being photographed, but Kim was exactly what I needed! She made me feel confident and beautiful & now I have so many amazing photos to look back at one of the most life changing moments. She captures a realness that I don’t think many other photographers have the ability to do. She puts her heart and soul into every shoot & I cannot wait for more big life moments that will be captured by Kim!!!

"Kim has been with us through so many of life’s biggest moments, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for her. She’s captured everything from our engagement photos and Christmas tree farm minis to flying all the way to Mexico for our destination wedding — including our welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. Most recently, she took our first family photos, and once again, they’re absolutely perfect. Kim is not only incredibly talented but also one of the kindest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and somehow captures the heart of every moment. We’re so thankful for her and can’t wait for all the future memories she’ll photograph for us!"
-Melissa Roberts
"Our family booked a multi-generational family photo shoot for my in-law’s 50th wedding anniversary/family vacation with Kimberly Jonelle Photo. From the moment I first contacted her, Kimberly was super responsive and helped answer any questions we had along the way, including giving some great advice on outfit choices/color scheme. On the day of the shoot, she made everyone feel comfortable, which really shows in the final photos. The turnaround time to receive the finished photos was impressively quick and they all turned out beautiful! We are so grateful to have these memories of our family captured so perfectly. Highly recommend her for any photography needs! Would love to work with her again if we ever go back to the Duluth area."

“Kimberly has captured all our special moments- engagement, wedding, and our first baby’s newborn photos. She is fun and easy to work with and delivers beautiful photos each time! We love filling our home with the photos Kimberly captures and love having a photographer see us through all of our special occasions.”
- Jade Peterson
"Kim has been my photographer for years!! From mini fall sessions, to engagement session, to family sessions & most recently my wedding photos, she has always been professional & a great vibe matcher! She knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera & offers judgement free help with poses (made my awkward self feel much more comfortable in front of the camera). She is so so amazing & 100000% worth the investment!"
- Katelyn Nelson-Mancera
"We’re so thankful we chose Kim for our wedding! She was such a sweetheart and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Her creativity and eye for candid moments truly blew us away- every photo feels so genuine and full of emotion. We’ve had so many people tell us how gorgeous our photos turned out, and we couldn’t agree more. She captured our day perfectly and gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. We can’t recommend her enough!"
-Diane Ahern Kudak
"Kimberly did an amazing job photographing our wedding in Duluth a couple weeks ago. A wedding photographer friend recommended her to us and we were quickly sold once we saw her portfolio. I appreciate that Kimberly was interested in our love story and what we wanted our wedding to look like as well as logistical questions about timeline and who we wanted to get pictures with. It was apparent that she had experience and was committed to doing a great job. Also, we had about 200 guests so I asked her to hire a second shooter and that person was very helpful and competent and fun! There was no stress on my wedding day around the photos. We received sneak peeks soon after our wedding and she truly captured our joy, love, and personalities. We could not be happier with the results!"
01. You’re based in Duluth! Do you Travel?
Of course! The majority of my wedding days are in the twin cities area. Travel fees are based on mileage and no hotel accommodations are needed within the Minneapolis area.
02. Do you do Destination Weddings?
Ahh!! Where are we going?! YES I do destination weddings! I have experience with taking out of state/international weddings, I am ready to go when you are!
03. How do I secure my wedding date with you?
After our meeting, I can send over a proposal with your desired wedding coverage. After signing your proposal and submitting your 30% retainer, we are SET.
04. What makes you stand out from other photographers?
Your wedding day is not a photoshoot, its a day you and your partner become one! Photos enhance your day and help you remember the day for how it was. I let my couples take the lead, while still being the timeline advocate and making sure your gallery is set for success. I value taking the time to build a timeline that sets us up for a relaxing wedding day experience. You don’t have to worry about a thing when I’m by your side, just enjoy your day!
