LIGHTHEARTED PHOTOGRAPHY for EXPERIENCE-BASED WEDDINGS IN MINNESOTA & beyond
LET’S MAKE WEDDINGS STRAIGHTFORWARD
You’re a busy human with a life outside of wedding planning.
Let me make this easy for you.
If you’re looking for a lighthearted photographer who has an eye for the “fine art photo” within a documentary-style day, a knack for fun candid photos, and a love for guiding photos in a way that feels natural and relaxed — you’re probably in the right spot!
If you’re looking for super formal posing and nothing-but-planned photos, you are welcome to move on!
“When I tell you that Adrian made the whole thing completely stress-free and fun I mean it 100%”
I cannot stress how much I dislike getting my photo taken, much less photo shoots. When I tell you that Adrian made the whole thing completely stress-free and fun I mean it 100%. We just got our full wedding photo set back and we are BLOWN away! from the first image we knew we were going to be impressed. if you are looking for someone who is down to earth, stress free and is top notch at their craft, look no further. 1000/10 would always recommend Adrian!

the process
-
Fill out any contact form on the website or email me directly at hello@adrianstein.com. You’ll receive a response within 1-2 business days.
-
We’ll walk through your unique values and priorities, see if we’re a good fit, and discuss whether you’d be best-served with a pre-built collection or a fully custom option.
A fully custom proposal will be sent to you within 24 hours of our call.
-
The contract, invoice, and any other reminders will be sent directly to your inbox (so you’ll never need to fish for information or scour your inbox for old payment links).
-
If you want an engagement session, we’ll start sorting out the details within about a month or two. If not, you can expect a brief pause in communication, followed by check-in emails starting closer to the event.
My goal is to be intimately familiar with how you want your wedding documented well before the wedding weekend.
-
I guide my wedding-day workflow around the priorities we’ve previously discussed:
I’ll be right in the middle of the action whenever needed to get those those “I didn’t even see that!” candids, and then fade into the background during softer moments like the first look and ceremony.
-
You’ll get sneak peeks within a few days of the wedding, and the rest of the gallery within 6-8 weeks of the event (along with at least a 24-hour warning beforehand).
This way, you can schedule a date night to sit down and experience the wedding gallery in an intentional way with your partner.
Bespoke collections will be crafted based on your unique wedding plans, values, and location(s)
Because you shouldn’t settle for anything less than intentional.

“You could tell she genuinely wanted to capture what was most important to us and what we envisioned”
Adrian was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with to capture all moments from our special day! We appreciated her attention to detail and her variety of equipment, such as using film. She was super professional throughout our meetings leading up to the wedding day and very thoughtful in terms planning the day of schedule. You could tell she genuinely wanted to capture what was most important to us and what we envisioned. Adrian made us feel so at ease while posing for the camera and definitely was able to get family members comfortable too. We would highly recommend her to anyone around us in need of a photographer for any occasion and would love to work with her in the future!
