Hey! I’m Markina

Minneapolis & St. Paul wedding photographer

A city girl living in the country (though at heart I belong on the beach!), fan of Mexican food, margaritas with friends, and experiencing all the wonderful things that life has to offer.

I’ve been behind the lens, capturing timeless moments, since 2012.

As a mom and a wife, I know how priceless it is to have photographs that take you back in time and make you feel as though you’re experiencing those special moments all over again.

When you work with me, I make sure that your session is as fun and relaxed as possible, to truly capture all of the special connections between you and your loved ones – whether that’s on your wedding day, to celebrate your engagement, or for an updated family portrait with the little ones!

Classic, colorful, true-to-life, and full of love. That’s my style!

Yours too? Get in touch!

If you are ready to conquer your wedding photos with the help of a bubbly, outgoing & passionate photographer, and maybe even become life long friends? Then, fill out that contact form and let's get this journey going!

As your wedding photographer, I strive for a seamless and memorable experience from start to finish. I want you to feel like you are my only couple and that I care, because I do! I will help relieve as much stress off of you as I can, because this isn't my first rodeo :)

I believe your wedding photos should reflect the actual colors of your day and not be muted or altered because in 50 years you will want to remember that the bridesmaid dresses were terracotta, not brown. You will want to remember what color dress your mom wore and what the flowers actually looked like.

We will capture elegant, timeless and classic photos for you to cherish for a lifetime and you will feel anything but awkward in front of my camera - I promise!

"Markina is beyond talented! Her photos are perfection"

Markina is beyond talented! Her photos are perfection, absolutely beautiful. She is the sweetest, kindest person ever. She’s very responsive to messages and the investment you pay for photos is extremely affordable. She will always be our family photographer. I would recommend her to anyone!

"Markina made us feel completely at ease"

Markina is absolutely amazing in every way! My (now) husband and I met with Markina to discuss engagement and wedding photography, which is something that we were extremely anxious about because we wanted the best! After our initial conversation with Markina, we immediately knew she was the one!

Markina helped us with our timeline, setting up our photo lists, and she took the most amazing pictures!! My husband and I are normally not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Markina made us feel completely at ease. She guided us through each pose and kept everything moving smoothly.

We are so pleased each time we work with her. Markina’s positive nature and flexibility in her work make her the best photographer to work with. I recommend Markina B. Photography to everyone!
