Creating cherished memories for you and your guests
My Story Minnesota helps people, organizations and non-profits create lasting memories that you clients and donors will be proud to pass on for generations as they see their picture on the wall...the picture taken at your event. We are your custom event photographer in the Twin Cities of Minnesota and throughout the Midwest.

What an event! Now what?
As an event planner and photographer, I get it. You spend months planning your big event only to blink and realize it is over and you don’t have a great record of the event. Your event is over and you don’t know what to do with all the photos on your phone, and you realized that you missed a few in the business of the event.
Testimonials

Thank you for capturing the joy and celebration of the our gala year after year. It is so wonderful to be able to relax and have a great time, without worrying about capturing photos. You are able to get great photos, and it is so fun to be able to access them after the event (even seeing people we missed at the event!). We so appreciate your professionalism and dedication. - Deb

The wonderful photos helped show the spirit of our community. Matt made the whole process simple for us and helped us out every step of the way. The photos are something that our families, participants, and community as a whole truly cherish. John Ward, Gigi's Playhouse Twin Cities.
How we help

You should enjoy your event too!
Too many organizations put on lavish galas and events for their special guests and let them leave without giving them a tangible memory of the event.
My Story Minnesota exists to help organizations tell their event story through pictures and video. Many of your event attendees will be dressed in their best attire, the only night of the year...or decade that they dress up like this. And many of them do not have anything more than a cell phone image to remember the occasion with.
Let My Story Minnesota take care of all the stress of:
- Capturing the photos.
- Culling and editing the best ones.
- Providing a simple online gallery where they can view, download and share their favorites.
- And allow them to print a copy for their wall or scrapbook.
Give your guests the gift of a portrait worth hanging on the wall...and give yourself the freedom to enjoy your event without worrying about capturing photos for later.
I get events.
When I first started photographing events I did not realize how much stress and planning went in to making events happen.
Now, after a decade and over 250 events, collaboration is the best way to make an event planner’s stress level go down. I work with your social media team to get content “live” during the event and, when you get to work the next day, you will have a “highlights” gallery ready to go with a photographic summary of your event, captioned and ready to go to the media!
Let us capture your guests, in their gala attire, having fun at your event so you can enjoy it with them. From setup and cocktail hour to program and post-event party, we document with an eye to tell your story.
The real magic happens a week or two later when gallery links are sent to guests and your guests can relive their favorite moments and share their memory (and your organization’s story) with their network or print a portrait to hang on their wall.
They will remember with fondness your organization and event every time they meander down their memories or walk by the wall with picture of them dressed to the 9’s at your event.
