Our couples are modern romantics with impeccable taste -valuing experiences, personal touches, and, of course, their beloved furbabies!

We pride ourselves on going above and beyond—whether it’s helping you perfect your wedding day timeline and photo combinations, speed-sewing a button back on a jacket, or delivering an abundance of stunning photos you’ll treasure forever. We’re here to celebrate your one-of-a-kind love, ensuring every moment feels as extraordinary as it is captured, able to be relived vividly for many years to come.

"Award-Winning Minnesota Wedding Photographers" - we're truly honored by all of them - but our FAVORITE is being named top dog-friendly wedding photographers in Minnesota. 🐾 *** ALL pets remain leashed in our photos during sessions and the big day - we simply use some photoshop magic to remove them later, ensuring their safety comes first and foremost.

Kasey and Tyler - the ultimate photog duo!

If you are getting engaged or are engaged the first thing you need to do is book with Tyler and Kasey - this is the best decision you can make in the wedding planning process! I recommend prioritizing booking with Studio twelve:52 and making sure they are available before you lock down a date and venue so you don’t miss out! Getting to know Kasey and Tyler throughout our engagement sessions, their help throughout the planning process, and on the wedding day was so wonderful. On your wedding day Studio Twelve:52 is not just your photography team they are your hype team, your impromptu day of coordinator telling you where to go and when to be there, your pro tip experts on how to put a boutonnière on, how to bustle your dress, even the easiest way to go to the bathroom in a wedding dress, and most importantly your kind and gentle reminder to enjoy each moment and your soon to be/new spouse. Kasey and Tyler are beautiful human beings and truly so gifted. We are blown away by their pure skill, artistry, and geniunely good souls. It seems impossible to know someone so deeply after only meeting a few times but they captured our hearts and showed theirs. We are so, so excited to get our pictures from the wedding back and have the chance to relive the best day of our lives. The only downside that exists with Kasey and Tyler is that you are going to have an impossible time choosing which pictures to use for save the dates, invites, and prints -- all of the pictures are absolute perfection.

Love working with them!!

I’m a wedding planner who has worked with many photographers and Kasey & Tyler are one of my favorites!!! Even before the wedding day their communication is wonderful - always answering any questions we may have, working together to create the timeline, and just overall being an amazing team player! On the day of the wedding they are truly an amazing duo, so fun to work with and keep the energy up all day. It’s so great to work weddings with fellow vendors who are more like friends, and that’s exactly what it’s like working with Kasey & Tyler! Their photos speak for themselves and are always stunning - they truly care about their couples, fellow vendors, and are one of the best!!!

We got a ton of amazing photos back!

They did such an amazing job! The pictures turned out beautifully! They also are very communicative and sweet. They are very pet friendly and there are a lot of bonus photo shoots baked into their wedding package including an engagement session and anniversary session. I love their style and they are very skilled.

Best Wedding Planning Decision!

As a wedding coordinator, I have had the chance to work with Kasey & Tyler multiple times so when it was time for me to pick a photographer for my wedding, choosing StudioTwelve52 was the easiest wedding planning decision I made! First off, they are SO sweet and helped my husband relax while we were taking photos (since they are not his favorite thing). On the day of the wedding, they remembered my priority photos and would check in to see if felt good or wanted more photos in a particular setting. They were always right there for a photo opportunity and would help take photos for family on their phones as well. We absolutely love our photos and have received a ton of compliments. HIGHLY recommend!!

Best Photographers in the area!!

It’s hard to know where to start with Kasey and Tyler because they did so many things above and beyond as our photographers for our wedding! We loved that our package came with 2 engagement sessions so we were able to get to know them before our big day. We were nervous about poses, but Kasey directs you so well and it doesn’t feel awkward at all! We had weather one of the days we had scheduled for photos and Kasey was wonderful about communicating and we braved some rain drops with Tyler for some spring photos we love! The best thing about Studio Twelve:52 is the photos you get, hands down are some of the best in the business. We loved their classic editing style that stayed true to the moody jewel tones we had at our wedding and they have a timeless feel. We know we are going to cherish these photos for a long time, and we are so thankful we found them! They captured every moment of our big day we wanted, and so many other ones we didn’t even know they were capturing! Kasey and Tyler are seamless when it comes to their day of coverage, Kasey stuck with me most of the day and Tyler stuck with my husband for most of the day. The ability for them to split up and capture double the moments with the same quality is priceless! We have nothing to say but wonderful things about Studio Twelve:52 and will be using them to capture all our family moments that are yet to come!

Wonderful Photos From Wonderful People

Kasey and Tyler were the perfect photographers for our big day! From Day 1 they were extremely fun and exciting, but also very professional and responsive. With most of our planning happening in 2020, they were very flexible and more than willing to accommodate our requests/preferences.
We did two one-hour engagement sessions leading up to the big day, one with Tyler and one with both. Our first session, Tyler captured amazing, genuine shots of us in our home and in Loring Park, and he was even able to get a few shots of our rebellious kitten. Our second shoot in downtown Stillwater was filled with so much organic laughter and joy; we never thought a photography session could be so much fun!
Our big day was everything we dreamed it would be, and Studio Twelve:52 was a huge part of that. They were able to capture so much of what made us happiest at our wedding. From getting ready at our AirBnBs to the rowdy “Beer Barrel Polka” towards the end of the night, they were always in perfect position to capture the amazing, heartfelt family moments as well as the spontaneous moments of joy and fun. They are such genuine, talented, and AMAZING people and photographers, and we are so happy we met them and have gotten to know them. We are very much looking forward to Kasey and Tyler capturing the rest of our life’s special moments!!

Absolutely Amazing

Our wedding day would not have turned out half as good had we not had Kasey and Tyler. Not only were they our photographers but they were our shoulders to lean on throughout the whole process. It is hard to believe a company can have all five stars until you meet, work with and get to know these two. After doing so there is no question in your mind how they have all 5 star reviews on EVERYTHING. Kasey and Tyler are two of the kindest, most genuine souls on this earth, and they want nothing more than to make sure their clients are happy. Kasey even helped me with non-photo related questions throughout the whole process. I honestly believe in my heart our day would never have turned out as amazing as it did without them. And to top it all off we have some of the most amazingly beautiful photos to look back on for the rest of our lives. Booking these two as your photographers is not only a great idea, but a blessing, these two are two of the most amazing people walking this earth and I am not even exaggerating. The world would be a lot better place if we had more people like them. They have been here for our engagement the purchase of our new home, our newest puppy, all our engagement sessions, our wedding and we plan to have them for all of our future milestones.

The Absolute Best!!

ABSOLUTELY recommend working with Kasey & Tyler at Studio Twelve:52!! We could not have picked a better photography team to take our engagement and wedding photos! We are OVER THE MOON with our final wedding photos, and know that we will see them in the future for our family photos next!!

-Fun sessions! - Kasey & Tyler make you feel so at ease! We have not taken professional photos prior to meeting them, and they made us feel SO comfortable & natural. They are fabulous at directing poses, and amazed us how efficient they were in organizing large group/family photos!

- Professionalism! - They are extremely efficient, organized, and detailed! From our initial contact with them, we were provided thorough and detailed documents through our entire process. It was easy to make payments through their online system, and also utilize their online gallery. They have clearly done the wedding photo process before....and done it WELL!! Just so easy to work with.

- Transparency! - We were a couple planning in the middle of COVID. We contacted Kasey & Tyler about potential rescheduling, and we were so thankful of how flexible they were and how they worked with us. We were updated through any and all situations. It is so evident how much Kasey & Tyler care about their wedding couples!! I believe this is a huge difference that sets them apart from other businesses!

- Quality! - THE PHOTOS!! Just breathtaking. SO detailed, SO many shots, and the editing is natural and top-notch. They capture the candid moments so well!

- Wedding Day Guidance! - We did not hire a wedding planner....but seriously, Kasey essentially became that on our day! We filled out an extensive wedding timeline planning sheet that we appreciated they offered to us....many things we wouldn't have thought of! Through the entire day, she (& Tyler!) continued to notice the smallest details (ex: necklace position out of place, hair binder on a hand, etc), and was so essential in keeping our "wedding timeline" moving. The day goes by SO fast, but they make sure you're still getting EVERY shot, hugely due to following the timeline so well....while still keeping the bride and groom happy and calm! Our day would have looked hugely different without their help, seriously.

- Packages! - I loved that ALL the details were included in their package options and laid out clearly, no questions! The main "items" we were searching for in a package.....x2 shooters, option for more time to be added, engagement session INCLUDED, professional wedding album INCLUDED, and unlimited downloads/prints due to getting the printing right.....CHECK! All of the "must-have's" a bride is looking for.....they have it and again so transparent about what they offer!! And such fair pricing!!

Pup-Lovers! - Honestly, this was initially a HUGE draw for us of how dog-friendly they are! We have a chocolate lab and it was important for us to have him there on our wedding day. Kasey & Tyler were both so comfortable and great at taking pictures with and of him! Some of our favorite shots of our whole wedding album are us with our pup!

All in all....we legit cannot say enough good things about Studio Twelve:52, and working with Kasey & Tyler. Check them out...you will NOT be disappointed!!

One of a Kind Photographers

We don't even know where to begin! With working with such wonderful people like Kasey & Tyler, our wedding day was a breeze! They treat us like family and make us comfortable, all while still being professional! They were able to come in and act as though they were our wedding coordinators! They were so helpful with the other vendors and working with them to all be on the same page. Anytime we need a photographer, we know who to get ahold of! Thank you Studio Twelve:52!

05/18/19 wedding

We are beyond thrilled with our wedding pictures and cannot say enough good things about Kasey and Tyler! Communication with Kasey was always extremely prompt and efficient. Which was helpful during our wedding planning, as when you are working with multiple vendors it can sometimes get tricky! However we knew we could always count on Kasey and Tyler to have quick and sensible answers and they even helped us create our day of time line! We felt like Kasey and Tyler really put in the effort to get to know us and our style through our engagement pictures which helped us feel relaxed on our wedding day. The day of our wedding Kasey did a wonderful job at making us feel at ease and like we were life long friends. She continued to check on how I was doing on such a high filled emotional day and keep my nerves at ease and letting me know where we were at with our timeline. She was able to direct us and our families enough to get the perfect shot, whilst not saying to much. There were so many incredible and special moments that they were able to capture so perfectly and so natural, which is exactly what we were looking for! Their skills and talent have allowed us to keep on smiling and reliving the day every time we look at the photos! We’ve lost track of how many of our guests have continued to tell us how wonderful our photographers were! If you are thinking about hiring Studio Tweleve:52 to photograph your big day don’t hesitate and just do it. You won’t have any regrets!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
