why
hello
We're truly grateful you are investing your time in getting to know more about us and our passion for creating art out of life. We live in Minnesota, but are blessed to be able to travel the world documenting some of the most beautiful love stories. We personally love Destination Weddings, Elopements and Vow Renewals because it's when people seem to be the happiest and most connected, and that is what life is all about!
"After traveling and soul searching the past decade, I undoubtedly found my life purpose. It's to help you see the love you've been blessed with. I've photographed over 400 weddings, big and small, near and far, and found I'm happiest when documenting intentional, personable celebrations of love and life. Often times this involves traveling or adventure, but sometimes it is found right in your backyard. Regardless, my goal is for you to have a day filled with real emotions & deep connections that are often lost in this crazy busy life."

why visual storytelling is so powerful
"Life is meaningful they say, but its value is DETERMINED by us in our minds, and subject to change over time."
Philosopher Thaddeus Metz
Lead Photographer
Trisha puts her heart and soul into this business. She loves bringing out the best in people, making them feel comfortable, and showing them how absolutely perfect their own little story is in this big ole busy world. She craves adventure, loves to travel and believes the prettiest pictures are when beautiful memories are attached. She can't decide if she wants to be an adventure photographer or a fine art wedding photographer so she combines the two styles and makes it her own. Her favorite things are her kids, pups, horseback riding & volleyball.
But enough about me...meet my amazing teammates...
the Associate
"Sam is my Associate Photographer and partner in crime when I shoot video. She emulates my shooting style and is so good at making people feel comfortable in front of a camera! Her passion for creating art shows in her work."
sam KUKLOK
Sam runs her own portrait business specializing in boudoir, but fell in love with the authentic brand and style of weddings Xsperience Photography represents, so she happily joined the team in 2021. She tags along on adventures as a second shooter, acts as the lead photographer when Trisha has to shoot video, And also serves as an Associate Photographer when Trisha is already booked or slightly out of budget. She has been mentored by Trisha to emulate the natural, romantic style Xsperience is known for.
ASSOCIATE PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE TRAINED TO MATCH THE XSPERIENCE BRAND OF AUTHENTIC, Natural, MEANINGFUL IMAGERY.
Meet Halle
Halle is not your typical teenager. She has an old soul who loves old country music and hates selfies and pretty much anything girlie or trendy. She is Trisha's daughter so she is quite comfortable holding a camera, but her passion for photography didn't truly surface until she learned how to fly a drone. Once she saw the view from above, she was hooked!
Halle serves as many things to Xsperience Photography.
Here are a few...
-hiking assistant if extra camera gear, picnic supplies or a bouquet needs to be carried
-drone pilot and videographer
-assistant photographer
-scouting model (hates the modeling, LOVES the traveling!)
Video
"If video is as important to you as photos then Andy is the guy to add to your Collection! He is an expert drone pilot and brings life to your story using compelling story-telling techniques that require years of training in the videography field."
andy poster
Andy is a freelance content creator here in Central Minnesota. His personal work can be seen at A Poster's View. He thrives in the commercial industry, creating intriguing content that perfectly highlights the scene. Lucky for us, he loves adventure and working in beautiful destinations, so we get to utilize his talents when your story requires a unique perspective. He offers drone, voice over, dual camera perspectives, and the willingness to edit in the same natural, dream-like style our photography emulates (since you obviously value that if you're still here)!!
