We would just like to tell you how pleased we are with the photography and videography of our wedding day! We appreciate how efficient, professional, laid-back you were the day of our wedding. We were also impressed with quickly we were able to view the proofs from our big day. We would not have been as happy with any other photographer, I am sure of it! The coverage you provided us with was amazing. You were there at 1:00 and didn’t leave until you had all the shots you wanted, which was well into the dance. You really captured the casual “lake” personality of our wedding. We love how you didn’t spend a ton of time positioning us into awkward positions. Your candid style of photography produced really touching photos. You were also so respectful of our three families and made sure to get all the important groupings that we had requested. We are so happy to have photos and video that we can look back on and remember our wedding day! We have had countless people view our proofs and video and everyone agrees that they are simply beautiful. We really appreciated everything you did for us starting with our engagement photo session, the childhood montage you put together for us, and the remarkable amount of photos and video footage that you took on our wedding day! Everyone who was at our wedding said, “Your photographer did a wonderful job, he just seemed to be at the right spot at the right time.” Thank you for doing just that! You captured moments that we did not even realize had happened. Wow! We both highly recommend you as a wedding photographer. You are truly in a class by yourself. Professional, efficient, and laid-back all describe you! Thank you so much!
My wife and I had a rather quick engagement season prior to our wedding day. Because we needed to find all our desired components in such a short amount of time, there was some additional stress to locate and reserve professional vendors who would provide an exceptional quality of service. One of those vendors is Eric Nelson and his associates with Bemidji Wedding Photography and Video. From the outset, Eric and his crew were incredibly easy to work with. Their photos and videos are breath-takingly beautiful and reflect their years of experience in the field of photography. They were a delight to work with—especially with me because I am incredibly awkward to try and pose. But a couple of the things that stood out to me was their excellent communication skills through email and phone calls, and their graciousness in being flexible with my wife and me. Their prices were fair and affordable when compared with their competitors in the region. I would highly recommend Eric and the entire Bemidji Wedding and Photography team for anyone’s big day. Thank you, Eric, and God bless! Five stars!
Experience nothing short of SPECTACULAR - seamless arrangement, beautiful beach, and to top it off - blessings from the whales passing by! Shane and team are amazing!

If you are thinking of any company, this is the man. Also very knowledgeable on the island and gave us recommendations on beaches to go to. When we renew our vows Ill be coming back

Bemidji Wedding Photography and Video Photographers Capture Natural Photos. Our Bemidji Photographers Catch Magical Moments & Emotions.
I am a photographer based in the Bemidji area, specializing in outdoor weddings and backyard celebrations. I have 20 years of experience and have photographed over 1500 weddings. 500 of these weddings were in MN and ND. Then, in 2010, I started a new wedding planning business in Maui. My company, Affordable Barefoot Maui wedding, provides beautiful beach photography and simple romantic ceremonies. Since moving to Bemidji five years ago, I have continued to do wedding photography and perform ceremonies. In addition to doing weddings at more traditional local wedding venues, I have created a complete wedding package that includes ceremony and photography at people’s homes or one of the many gorgeous local area beaches. This can often save couples 10 to $20,000! After their elopement ceremony, some of these couples choose to have a simple reception and dance. Imagine a beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony with 150 photos that doesn’t break your bank account!
