Kasey + Tyler Rajotte | Minnesota Wedding Photographers

Two photographers. 🤍 One signature storytelling style. Countless love stories captured. Crisp, clean, bold color. Absolutely timeless. Captured true to life, exactly as it felt. The sweet, soft moments. The blissful chaos. The subtle hand squeezes and happy tears. The dance floor energy. The crazy “wait, I can’t believe you caught THAT!!!!” moments… And yes… the dogs stealing the spotlight exactly as they should. 🐾 After I reached out to one of our past brides recently, she said, “I’m stunned you remember us after ten years!” Truthfully… how could we not? ✨✨✨ Over the years, our goal has always been to preserve each day exactly as it felt. To plan alongside you. To understand what matters most. To capture your story in a way that is fully, undeniably yours. No two days are ever the same. And love stories like yours are unforgettable. Your day should never look like anyone else’s. It should FEEL like you. ✅ Now booking 2027 + 2028 Limited 2026 availability remains — We cannot wait to get to know you, celebrate your love, and document a story you’ll be able to cherish for a lifetime… and relive over and over again. We’ll be there with you every step of the way… making sure you can remain fully present, soak it all in, and have the best day ever. 🤍 #minnesotaweddingphotographer #mnweddingphotographer #twincitiesweddingphotographer #timelessweddingphotography #destinationweddingphotographers Minnesota Based 📍 / Available Worldwide ✈️

✨ Hello, hello🤘 It’s been a minute since we introduced ourselves last and there’s a lot of new faces around here! Fast + random facts - ready, set, go!!! ⚡️ We are Kasey + Tyler Rajotte. Basically the most dog-obsessed wedding photographers you’ll ever meet. We know that’s a big claim… but it’s a fact 🐾 ⚡️ Our pack of rescues are all named after Marvel characters… Loki, Nova, Marvel, Storm, Gambit + Nebula… yes, you counted correctly. 😉 ⚡️ We also have Goose + Cloud (technically kitties, but basically bonus dogs personality-wise). 🐱 ⚡️ 12+ years of 📸 weddings / pets for me (Kasey), and in that time I’ve also had mini careers in music/tour + mma photography, quite the unique mix on the outside looking in, right? - but when you really think about it - it just further proves my love for capturing raw and real moments… 🤘. ⚡️ Started my company at 16, was full-time by 18 but still went to college because everyone said “you can’t live off of photography” - walked out of an O-Chem exam 2 years later and stopped caring what anyone else had to say about my future 🖤 ⚡️ Met Tyler through music photography - got married in 2014 and he’s been documenting love stories by my side for 8+ years now. ⚡️ I wish we had a cooler answer to, “when you’re not photographing weddings what do you two like to do?” - But we keep it CHILL. Friends, family, barbecues, boating, spoiling dogs with road trips and SO MANY movies / video game nights just being together… ⚡️ When we do travel for fun it’s usually somewhere tropical where we can just relax with some margaritas + tacos on a dog-friendly patio… and then head to a dog beach afterwards. 🌴 ⚡️While driving somewhere if there’s a cute dog walking by chances are we will both point it out with a “LOOK AT THAT GOOD BOY!” // “HE’S SO MAJESTIC” 🐾 (we’re ridiculous) ⚡️We work with so many pets at weddings, during engagements + family sessions we tell folks to leave their lint rollers at home because editing dog hair and leashes out of your photos is the norm for us. We don’t want you stressing about puppy glitter or their safety - We got you. ✨ ⚡️Minnesota based / traveling everywhere for our incredible clients. ✈️

Nora + Cam are getting married today!!! ✨ Can’t wait to meet up with you two cuties in Minneapolis soon. 🤍 It’s been such a blast getting to know you two + your story and to see all of the intentional details you’ve planned this day around since we first spoke last February. Learning about your meet-cute in Winona through theatre, your Duluth proposal, the day to day with Gertrude 🐱, and how today is also the anniversary of Cam’s grandparents... and even from our engagement adventures, especially with an impromptu snow fight at @baldmanbrewingco — we know today is going to be absolutely epic! 🍻

Bonus Wedding Theme: ✨GUS✨ Picture this… Gus showed up in a bow tie, posed in the flowers, made his presence known during the ceremony (peeking out during the kiss), had his grand moment leading his humans through the entire wedding party like the dignified gentleman he is, and then his face spent the rest of the night on a giant stick on the dancefloor while his signature cocktail, the Cranberry Zoomies, kept the party going. 🍷✨ Tart, fizzy, and lovably wild. Just like Gus. Courtney and Pavel celebrated their love with a stunning winter wedding at Minneapolis Event Centers [The Riverside] complete with deep red florals, candlelight everywhere, fresh snow falling outside, and the kind of joy that filled the room until the very last song. But they also knew that a wedding without their golden boy wouldn’t be really their wedding at all… so obviously they went all out including him. This is exactly why we do what we do. The love between two humans is everything. And the love a family has for their dog, who is absolutely a member of that family, is just as much part of the story. We will never not be obsessed with getting to document all of that love + joy. 🐾 Courtney and Pavel, thank you for letting us be there and celebrate alongside you. Your day was EVERYTHING. 🤍🤍🤍 + Gus, we think about you often, buddy. 🫶 Photographed by Studio Twelve:52 📸 ***All pups remain leashed during photos with us, we simply edit them out. 🪄 #MinneapolisWeddingPhotographer #TwinCitiesWeddingPhotographer #MNWeddingPhotographer #MinneapolisWedding #twincitieswedding 🔑 : Minneapolis wedding photographer, Twin Cities wedding photographer, Minnesota wedding photography, wedding photographer Minneapolis, Minneapolis Event Centers wedding, winter wedding Minneapolis, pet friendly wedding photographer, dog friendly wedding, golden retriever, dogs in weddings

April is Limb Difference and Limb Loss Awareness Month. 🧡 A little snapshot / why we are named Studio Twelve:52. 📸 Doctors said these hands would never hold anything. March 8th, at 12:52 PM. 4 lbs 11 oz. I was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome. Shortly after my breathing/heart stopped, I was brought back. ABS means fibrous bands wrapped around my hands, feet and left leg while I was developing, limiting or stopping their growth completely. My fingers all woven and stuck together, my left leg visibly shorter with a tight band. The doctors panicked. They didn’t allow my mom to see or hold me for several hours. In that time, my other parent and his family wanted to put me up for adoption. My aunt (mom’s sister) held me first. Then my Nana.They chose me without hesitation. When my mom finally got to see me she didn’t hesitate for a second, even after doctors said I’d probably never walk, run, hold objects properly, or function “normally”. She said none of that matters. We’ll find our own way. And so we did. I relearned to walk more than once after leg surgeries through Shriners, who did everything at zero cost to my family. I had my first hand surgery at one year old, and that right hand is still my dominant hand today. At 16, walking flat footed for the first time, I launched my company. Full time by 18 + never looked back. Music photography brought me to Tyler. Two kids who love music and dogs, turned into a life, a business, and a home of 6 pups together. 19 years with a camera in these hands (16+ professionally). 600+ weddings. 300+ bands. An MMA era. All of it led me straight to you, you reading this. So why Studio Twelve:52? Because 12:52 is the moment I was born and then was almost gone before my adventure even started. Every time I catch it on the clock it’s an instant little bolt of gratitude. Every. Single. Time. Gratitude doesn’t begin to cover it. I wouldn’t trade a single thing. To everyone who cheered me on and trusted me / Studio 12:52 with their most precious moments along the way. With the most grateful heart, thank you. I am so glad this journey has brought us together. - Kasey

Dixie was READY for her first look with mom + dad / her wedding day photo debut. She strut right on out, said her hellos, got her pets, and then circled around (over the train for maximum efficiency) and found the perfect spot to pose instantly. What a true professional. 🐶✨📸

Today = 11 Years Married 🤍 14 Years Together ✨ … and somehow it still feels like we’re just getting started all at the same time… 🥰 We’ve l seen each other through so many versions of life already: the heartbreaks and the victories, the late-night laughs that made our faces + stomachs hurt, the seasons that stretched us, and the quiet moments that reminded us what to love and be loved really means to us. We’ve built a life together from scratch… one with six rescue dogs (+ Yuna in heaven 🌈🤍🐾), three cats (who truly just act like bonus dogs), big dreams, and a whole lot of heart… and sarcasm (mainly on your part). 🤣 I’m so glad there’s really never been a dull moment... From spontaneous cross country road trips with our pups to late-night jam sessions, debating who has better taste in allllll the things - coffee (your Dunkin vs my Starbucks), music, movies, tv shows, anime, restaurants, vehicle colors - you name it… we’ve experienced/captured so many love stories together, traveled for weddings + can you believe all the incredible pups we’ve met through our cameras?! - Challenging each other in video games / board games, and laughing about how our thermostat has become the ultimate marriage mediator while still fighting for the blankets (not only from each other, but usually Loki 🐾) - life together has been everything we imagined and more… It’s a wild and epic adventure, as much as it is a safe, easygoing comfort... It’s truly a beautiful and wonderful mess - and it’s ours. They always say “marry your best friend,” and turns out… that really is the move. And can confirm first hand, it totally checks out. With that being said… I can’t wait to see where our story takes us + our pack next… I love you. 🤍 *** Lastly, this story isn’t just ours (and not just because of the furbabies). It’s woven with all the hearts we’ve met along the way - friends who became family, couples who became lifelong friends, and the families we’ve gained through each other and have continued to grow. Every bit of love and support has shaped the life we have now and reminded us of the kind of love we want to keep living and also giving back every single day. So, thank you 🫶🤍

Evelyn + Jake 💐 … + just a few of our manyyy favorites from their intimate wedding at @comozooconservatory earlier this year. 🤍 … You two!!!! I gotta admit, every glimpse you share of your new chapter living in Italy as newlyweds has us feeling all sorts of nostalgic/sentimental — We miss you two already (so many fun memories made/documented), but what an incredible adventure you’re on! We cannot wait to eventually catch up and hear all about it. 🫶✨✨✨✨

Nina + Zach (and their sweet Shiba Inu pup, Lulu 🐾) kicked off their engagement session in the most meaningful way - - - by bringing it all back to one of their favorite places: Chicago! 📍 Even though they call Minnesota home, Chicago holds a special place in their hearts, so it felt like the perfect place to celebrate this chapter. (And with how dog-friendly it is, LuLu was living her best life.) 🐶 Tyler headed down to lead this session and they explored a few of their go-to spots together - capturing everything from the snuggly in-between moments at a park to the stunning skyline strolls along the water. With their shared love of travel, music, and meaningful experiences including little Lulu, this day was so them from start to finish. ✨✨✨ 🎉 We’re literally counting down the days ’til their @woodsandcoweddings wedding early next year… if this session alone is anything to go by, it’s definitely going to be unforgettable! 🤍 🐶: @dashiba.lulu 🐾
