PHOTOGRAPHER/OWNER
AWARD WINNER (10X)
Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
I’m Adam and together with my wife Mary Beth(MB for the cool kids) we make up the crew for Adam Kennedy Photography. I’ve been photographing weddings and everything in between since 2009 and all that experience has taught me that having a solid connection with your photographer not only makes your wedding day that much more enjoyable, it also lets you be yourselves in front of our cameras. If it can feel like a couple friends are showing up to capture your big day then taking photos won’t feel like work even a little bit. Plus, the end result will be photos that feel that much more authentically you and what it was like to be there on your wedding day.
We approach your wedding as documentarians, capturing moments both big and small to tell your story. But we’re equally confident giving you and your family direction to make sure you’re relaxed, comfortable and look your best during that portrait time when we’re not being a fly on the wall, ‘moment hunting’ for candids.Along with getting to know you both, we’ll work with you to create a shot list and timeline that ensures nothing gets missed and your mom won’t be left with asking “where’s that one photo I wanted with our family?”.
And because we realize your wedding day isn’t a photo shoot or a way for us to become insta-famous or some other such social media notoriety, we aim to capture your day beautifully without monopolizing all your time so you can spend more of it with all your loved ones.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and check out my life’s work; I’ve loved every minute of this career and am forever grateful to you and all our couples who trust us with these memories. If you connect with what you see here, we’d love to hear from you.

- Adam KennedyPhotographer/OwnerWe're Adam and MaryBeth Kennedy and we make up the crew for AKP. With a decade+ photographing weddings and everything in between, no matter where you’re getting married or who you’re getting married to, we’ll be excited to capture it all for you. Our approach is an elevated documentary style emphasizing candid moments with just the right amount of coaching to make sure you look amazing without being overly posed. We work with you to develop a timeline that makes sense for what you need covered on the big day, knowing that we don’t want to monopolize all your time with photos because time spent with your guests/loved ones is invaluable on such a uniquely special day. From finishing touches of hair and makeup to cutting some serious rug on the dance floor, we love it all and can't wait to hear from you.
- Mary Beth Kennedy2nd photographer/Studio ManagerI've been a part of AKP for 13 years as the studio manager and second photographer. I love to organize which is the perfect compliment to Adam's creativity and comes in especially handy when helping you put together your timeline and family photo list to ensure everything runs quickly & as smoothly as possible. Lochlan made me a mama a few weeks early in January 2022 and it has been a blast watching him grow, learn, and explore the world around him since then. He's a little spitfire and keeps us on our toes. My favorite things include hanging out with my boys, reading, playing board & video games, going for walks, playing with the pups, finding new recipes to make with Adam, making salsa in the summer, a good bottle of wine, sushi, trips up to the North Shore, re-watching Schitts Creek & Parks & Rec, gardening, and a good nap. I could live on french fries, tacos, pizza and any type of pasta as long as hot sauce is involved. I laugh at my own jokes, and always try to find humor in awkward situations *mostly because they're caused by me*. Fun fact: I have never met a dress I can't bustle 😊

Adam and MB are the absolute best. They photographed our fall wedding 2024 at the St Paul College Club, as well as an engagement photo session the summer in Minneapolis.
They are transparent about pricing, and very generous with their time and attention to detail. All of our photographs are amazing.
I’m not one for family photo sessions, etc. But Adam and MB are so fantastic that I plan to work with them in the future - just to keep them in our lives.
We would give them 6 (or a hundred) stars if we could.

We're so glad that we chose Adam (and Mary Beth) for our November 2024 wedding! They were helpful and responsive during wedding planning, and on our wedding day had a great relaxed and positive energy that kept things as low-stress as possible. We really enjoyed having them at the reception, they fit right into the party! Our photos turned out beautifully, and we're really happy with the mix of posed portraits and candid pictures. We feel the day was perfectly captured, and have loved looking back at our photos to remember the details of the day. We highly recommend Adam Kennedy Photography for wedding photos, and look forward to seeing Adam again soon for a family member's wedding!

I wish it were possible to give a 100+ star review, because Adam and Mary Beth are the best photography duo ANYONE could ask for on their wedding day. Their reviews don’t hold a candle to how amazing their aura is and the quality of work they produce. Not only do they make you feel so comfortable taking pictures, they are so fun to be around. Looking at our wedding photos takes us right back to our special day and they really captured the theme of our day perfectly! They went out of their way to get to know us on a personal level rather than a business level and made us feel like we’ve been best friends for a long time. Adam and MB played multiple roles for us and were kind of like our 2nd wedding planner for the day and all of their hard work and dedication to our day was SO appreciated! They have the BEST communication style and made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible not only on the wedding day, but everyday leading up to it. We were fortunate enough to be able to book them for engagement photos, Autumn family pictures, and our wedding day, and we look forward to booking them for all of our special events in the future. Pictures are one of the main things you will have forever after a special event and Adam and Mary Beth will absolutely create memories that you will cherish forever! We literally cannot recommend them enough!

Adam and MB took beautiful photos that captured our wedding day perfectly. I liked his natural shooting/editing style, and loved having candids from the day. I've also worked with them when I was in a friend's wedding party, and they were fabulous then as well. They're unobtrusive during the wedding while still getting great photos!

If you're searching for a wedding photographer who will not only capture your special day perfectly but also make the entire experience fun, easy, and enjoyable, look no further than Adam Kennedy Photography.
From start to finish, Adam and Mary Beth went above and beyond to ensure every moment was captured beautifully. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and always ready to answer any questions we had, no matter how small. They made the entire process feel effortless, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy every second of our big day.
What sets Adam apart is his incredible ability to keep the atmosphere light and fun while remaining professional and focused. He has a natural talent for putting everyone at ease, which shows in the candid, authentic moments he captured. Every photo felt genuine and full of emotion.
Adam Kennedy Photography is the only photographer you need for your wedding. He didn’t just meet our expectations—he exceeded them in every way. We couldn't be happier with our choice and the breathtaking photos we’ll cherish forever!

We couldn’t have been happier with Adam and Mary Beth as our wedding photographer team. We knew from the introductory Zoom meeting that we just clicked with them right from the start - which was key for us as two people who don’t always feel natural in front of a camera. Adam did a great job keeping things light and fun every step of the way, which is reflected in our engagement and wedding shots! Adam and MB offer the perfect balance of offering expert advice, while also encouraging their client to think big and make their wedding day photo dreams come true. They are truly masters of the wedding industry, and are a great resource through the stressful months of wedding planning, going way beyond just photography. We hope to be able to work with (or just grab a beer with) Adam and Mary Beth in the future!

Adam and Mary Beth make an incredible duo and were key in making our wedding perfect and stress-free. They went above and beyond at every stage of the process - from engagement photos to helping to manage our day. The pictures were stunning, even better than we could’ve hoped. And while neither of us are normally comfortable in front of a camera, we had a blast. Family pictures were thorough and efficient. This was easily one of the best investments we made for the wedding.

Adam and Mary Beth were fantastic to work with! They were exceptionally professional and responsive throughout the entire wedding process....and also just plain fun to work with! Their fun and positive personalities truly helped reduce the stress leading up to and on the day of the wedding. The sneak peak pictures they've given us look INCREDIBLE (yea I'm still crying) and they did a fantastic job taking charge to get all the pictures, styles, and locations we wanted shot. Several of our friends have hired them for their weddings and now it's my turn to highly recommend that you do the same for your events!

Adam and MB were the absolute best. We knew photography was a priority for our wedding and we wanted photos that would be classic and stand the test of time. We also wanted photos that captured the emotion of our day and our story. Wow, did Adam and MB deliver! We were floored when we got our photos back — they were far and away beyond what we could have imagined.
Beyond the photography, my bridesmaids called Adam the man of all trades as he always had Bobby pins, hair spray, all the things. Adam and MB keep you on a timeline, but in a way that is easy and fun and are the best people to have by your side on your wedding day!

Adam and Mary Beth are the best in the biz! From the initial consult, through timeline planning, and ultimately up to our big day, they provided a level of calm confidence, expertise, and personal relationship that I never knew was so important to have with a photographer.
More than just the 'big moments', Adam and Mary Beth captured more casual, and in the moment pictures than I thought possible. We didn't have a videographer for our wedding, but the AKP team took such a thorough accounting throughout our day, the 900+ photos from our day are almost better than a video and help us relive the moments that went by too quickly for us that day.
You 100% get what you pay for with this duo. Top of the line, best of the best. Absolutely zero regrets, and all of the good memories to last a lifetime!

Adam and MB photographed our August 2023 wedding and absolutely rocked it! From the very beginning, they were responsive, helpful, and fun. We had several touch-base meetings in advance of the wedding, and they even provided recommendations for other vendors, which was much-needed advice in the tornado that is wedding planning! Having them both at the wedding was great too - the photography was seamlessly integrated into the day, and we had awesome shots from two different angles of the best moments of our wedding day! Viewing and downloading photos once they were ready has been simple and straightforward (easy family Christmas gifts 😂) Thank you, Adam and MB!

Adam and Mary Beth are outstanding photographers and even better people!! They're not just our photographers- they're family to us now!
We loved working with them for our engagement shoot and our wedding day. My husband, who is NOT used to posing for photos had a fantastic time and we created memories together that we will always cherish. Adam's light hearted and fun demeanor made for very entertaining and comfortable photo session experiences. SO many laughs were shared and Adam beautifully captured our essence as a couple.
I loved building a relationship with the Kennedys from our first consultation- we immediately bonded over pizza, whiskey, and our love of dogs! (BONUS that Adam is OUTSTANDING at capturing photos of our Fur-Baby, Murphy).
Our wedding day was beyond perfect and I will always cherish the photos that help us relive our special day.
My husband and I view this as only the beginning to our relationship with Adam Kennedy Photography. We look forward to working with Adam & Mary Beth again as our family grows!
If you're looking for organized, zero drama, good vibes, and gorgeous photos- LOOK NO FURTHER. Adam Kennedy is your guy.
We love you guys!!!

You simply *must* use Adam Kennedy Photography if you want great photos, easy communication, and less stress while planning your wedding.
From day one, working and planning with them was easy, and their handling of every detail made us feel calm and comfortable. On the day of our wedding they wrangled our family, listened to our needs, and had a perfect mix of a plan and a willingness to adapt.
And we LOVE the results!! Our photos are beautiful and exactly what we were hoping for.
I can't imagine going through this without Adam and Mary Beth. Every step of this process was made easier and more fun because of who they are and how they work. Planning a wedding is stressful enough - it made such a difference to not have to worry knowing that they were there and part of our team.

They helped with the planning and coordination of the whole event and worked great with the venue/other vendors.

In the course of showing friends and family the photos from our wedding, someone remarked “I looked through the whole thousand photos and it brought me RIGHT back to that moment. I felt like I was there.” I don’t think you can have a more ringing endorsement for a wedding photographer! 10/10 would recommend Adam and Mary Beth again and again. These two are just so lovely to work with AND the product is incredible. The process to get AKP booked was easy and clear, they accommodated all our requests and out of the box ideas, and Adam’s excitement about his work brings an energy that made both engagement photos and our wedding day so fun. So many people remarked that they just enjoyed being around Adam and Mary Beth during our wedding day, and I think the organization and relaxed, joyful energy they brought really shows in our photos. Not to mention, they kept myself and my husband calm and giddy all day. And I cannot state enough that our photos are incredible. Someone told me they are the best wedding photos she has ever seen! We can’t recommend AKP highly enough!

Adam and Mary Beth were so amazing to work with, easily some of our favorite people out of all the amazing vendors we worked with. They were super communicative and quick to respond, and the photos turned out amazing, honestly can’t stop looking at them. Adam had a great way of capturing real moments during the night (he even caught my husband and I doing a hilarious awkward fist bump at the end of our first dance), and all of the more staged photos were beautiful as well. We know these photos will be timeless and we can’t thank Adam and Mary Beth enough for their amazing work. We would recommend them to anyone! Love love love

My husband and I picked Adam as our wedding photographer because from the first Zoom interview, he and MB were grounded, fun, professional, and really understood the casual spin we were hoping to put on our wedding. We wanted our guests to have fun, and we were hoping our photos would reflect that: not only did Adam capture the exact feeling of every moment of our live band, buffet-style barn wedding, but he encouraged it. His low-key style made everyone (including (especially?) the out of towners) feel welcomed and comfortable. To put it simply, our wedding would not have been the success it was if it hadn’t been for MB and Adam. The pictures are more than I could have ever imagined, and we’re looking forward to turning them into an album, again with Adam and MB’s help. I don’t think there’s a better event photographer out there, and I’ll always recommend them.

Jack and I chose Adam as our wedding photographer because his portfolio was full of candid silly photos with a bright cheerful style. Little did we know we would get more than just fun photos, we were able to snag the BEST wedding photography duo in the Minneapolis area. Aside from being talented craftspeople, Mary Beth and Adam went above and beyond to make our whole wedding party at ease. Our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed working with Adam and MB. In addition to being personality plus, they helped with little things that made a huge difference. Mary Beth helped the groomsmen get their boutonnières placed correctly, Adam ran around getting pictures at each table with us and all the while they were smiling and bringing such joy to the event. I know that they were asked to do several things that were not in their job description and they never once hesitated to help and bring ease to the day. If you are looking for a class act that is organized and determined to make your day a success you don't need to look any further. Adam and MB are those people :D by far the best money we spent. Thanks again for all you did for us!

Adam and MB are simply the best! They reached out to us all the time with updates and answered every question we had (no matter how crazy the question was).
Day of, Adam made sure we had EVERY photo we wanted and really took care of us! He did not even complain once about us making him take thousands of pictures in the 15 degree winter snow ;) He even brought hand warmers for the entire wedding party!
My favorite part of our photos was how they entire album told the story of our day. The pictures took us from start to finish of the entire day. t I am excited to look back on the album 10, 20, and 30 years from now and be taken back to our special day.
My second favorite part is all of the candid shots! Having a second shooter to take candid photos was one of the best things that could have happened
Overall, Adam and MB are professional and FUN photographers that ensure you have everything you need for your special day!!!! We love them!!

I honestly wish there were more stars to give. Adam and Mary Beth are truly lovely people and their work is stunning. We had such a wonderful time getting to know them as photographers and as new (!) parents - and we're excited to stay in touch with them forever! They were professional but relaxed and ensured the day went incredibly smoothly.

Adam and Mary Beth are the best professional photography team around. Myself and my family have worked with them multiple times since 2013 starting with my senior photos and lastly with my wedding in 2021. They are kind, genuine, funny, and highly professional. I am so grateful to know them, and can’t wait to continue to work with them during other life milestones of mine and my family’s!

If there were 6 stars as an option, that is what I would select for Adam. Adam has been our photographer on several occasions and is the first person I will go to in the future.
On our wedding day he helped coordinate and ensure we got all the shots we wanted, but more importantly made taking hundreds of photos an enjoyable time we will remember forever. He and MB are kind, funny, and just all around great people to be around. Would 100% recommend.

Adam was absolutely amazing. He was easy to work with, had a vision in mind for the photos that matched ours and was super responsive to all contact. He was also well priced and willing to work within our budget. I would highly recommend him and hope to use him again in the future. Bonus points for a shared love of whiskey and homemade pizza.

There isn’t enough praise we could give Adam and Mary Beth! It is obvious that Adam is incredibly talented at what he does but we will always appreciate how fun and memorable both him and MB made the entire experience. It was important for us to have that candid aesthetic in our pics so from the beginning we were on a mission to find a photographer that could achieve this with two fairly camera shy humans. They immediately put us at ease during our consultation ensuring that their style was low-key but also able to direct poses when needed. Not only did our pictures turn out absolutely BREATHTAKING and the exact style we loved, Adam and MB were always so personable and engaging - we had an blast with them. They made us feel comfortable, and of course beautiful, every step of the way and I cannot express how much this meant to us. On top of it all we were a bit of an unorganized group and they definitely kept up with all the shenanigans without a question. We will always always recommend Adam!

Words cannot express enough how amazing Adam was to work with!! From start to finish, Adam is so talented and incredible at what he does, he is also just an all around great guy! He made us laugh and feel super comfortable the whole day. His wife, Marybeth, is also so sweet and the two of them make an awesome team. My husband and I were SO HAPPY with how all of our photos turned out, they were better than we could have ever imagined. If you are thinking about hiring Adam, definitely do it, you won't be disappointed!!

Can't recommend Adam Kennedy enough! He is incredibly talented and his work speaks for itself. What truly makes him fantastic is how much he cares about his clients. He has a way of making everyone feel comfortable and builds a relationship prior to the wedding day, which allows all of the photos to be relaxed and creates a positive experience. Also, he is the perfect combination of doing a great job of directing people day-of while also keeping the mood fun and upbeat. I have been at weddings where the photographer is either too bossy and creates a stressful environment, or a photographer who is too relaxed and doesn't get the necessary photos done in time. Adam is quick, to the point, and genuinely makes the whole day fun. His wife, Mary Beth, is also fantastic and a pleasure to work with!
We postponed our wedding due to Covid and Adam reached out before we had even decided to move our date to let us know he was waiving change fees and that he was here for us during the difficult time. In comparison to other vendors who were inflexible, charged additional fees, and were terrible to work with, Adam's flexibility was a HUGE relief. He is so thoughtful and treats every clients on a personal level.
We HIGHLY recommend Adam to anyone seeking an amazing photographer!

Adam and Mary Beth were the best possible photography couple we could have hoped for! The photos are stunning and captured our wedding so that we could relive it again every day. Our guests LOVE the photos! Prior to the wedding day, they were very responsive with our questions, didn’t wait til last minute, shared other wedding tips from their own experiences, and were easy to do business with. In addition both AJ and I found them to be more than just business partners— we consider them friends and look forward to many pizza nights, maybe even at our place sometime :). There are many great photographers out there like them, but it’s their down-to-earth-ness, authenticity, and joie-de-vivre that set them apart for us. I couldn’t imagine a better fit for us.

We had to change wedding plans last minute, and finding Adam and MB was such a blessing. It is very easy to keep talking to them during the meetings. During and after the wedding we received so many compliments, especially from the bridal party, about their work. They are very professional and discrete. Our moments were greatly captured from both of them. We also did a "fake first look" with one of the groomsmen and the pictures are hilarious, which they agreed at the time I sent them the message. Adam is very creative and we also appreciate how they incorporated suggestions we sent them in the weeks before the wedding.
The quality of the cameras Adam and MB use are reflected in the great material they deliver. We also loved that they gave us a sneak pic of the pictures and they met the lower end of the delivery time for the rest of the pictures. We are simply delighted with their work and looking forward to more sessions with you.

Words cannot describe how amazing Adam is... but here we are trying!! To tell you that Adam was our favorite vendor that we booked would be an under exaggeration. He started by meeting us at a favorite local brewery (amazing) and went on to be the most understanding and flexible vendor in helping us with our 2020 wedding postponement. Adam and MB will make you feel the MOST comfortable throughout your day, which is exactly why we knew he was the best photographer we could get. His photos are genuine, fun, and capture the raw emotion throughout your day in a way that will make you cherish them forever. Seriously... we cannot stop looking at them. The only disappointment is that we can’t hang out with them anymore now that the wedding is over :(
Adam (& MB), thank you so much for being such a cherished and joyous part of our day! Forever and ever grateful <3

Adam was so amazing and the perfect photographer for our wedding!! He constantly goes above and beyond to get the best shots and make sure you are getting exactly what you want. He was super accommodating during rescheduling for COVID and even shot new save the dates for us for free! During the wedding it felt like him and his wife were everywhere! Anytime you wanted them for a pic they were right there ready. They got sooo many amazing pictures and they came out incredible afterwards. We have gotten so many compliments about their photos and their personalities during wedding. We will continue to use Adam for any of our photography needs in the future and would recommend him to everyone!

I cannot say enough good things about Adam Kennedy and MB. During my consultation with Adam I could tell he was passionate about his job and wanted each bride and groom to feel special. His energy and excitement was contagious. Any other photographer I spoke to after that didn’t even compare. My instincts were right one. Working with Adam made planning a wedding during COVID a little less stressful. My fiancé and I reschedule our wedding twice and Adam could not have been more supportive. On the day of the wedding he rocked it! Adam and MB were so organized and had everything under control, I had no worries about getting all the pictures we wanted taken. He joked with the wedding party and just made the morning of photos fun. His attention to the tiny details was amazing. During cocktail hour he snapped pictures of our guests and I heard over and over how great and fun he was.
I could go on and on about how great Adam and MB are. I would hands down recommend them to any bride and groom looking for an AMAZING photographer for their wedding. Thank you Adam and MB for making our day feel so special!

Couldn't even begin to express just how amazing and wonderful Adam and MB were. Not only were they incredibly flexible, understanding and helpful during the difficult time of covid planning, they went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfection. Adam is everything a couple can dream of when selecting a photographer: ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! He provided clear, concise directions to the larger group to make things run smoothly, came up with identified creative, fun, romantic ideas for photos and captured our weddings day flawlessly. Not to mention, Mary Beth was the actual MVP and carried my shoes when taking photos.. TEAMWORK = DREAMWORK with these two. From our engagement photos to the wedding day. There was not a single bad photo in the bunch. Couldn't recommend a more fantastic, professional, fun, creative individual to spend our wedding day with.

We have been at an absolute loss of words trying to find the perfect way to describe how they captured our day so beautifully. We sat curled up on our couch teary eyed going through the pictures over and over again because we felt transported back to the day. We knew that they would capture beautiful moments, but they absolutely blew it out of the park and there is nothing that could adequately express the impact that they had on our day. They were both incredible to work with, and genuinely added to our day. We felt incredibly comfortable with them and will undoubtedly recommend them to anyone and everyone we know. They are artists, truly.

His partner, MB is tons of fun with an incredible eye as well as assisting throughout the process making it feel effortless for us non-models..
