About this vendor
Meet Yeti — a seasoned photographer with over 14 years of experience and nearly 450 weddings captured across the globe, from Hungary to Slovenia. Known for his detailed eye, inclusive approach, and authentic storytelling, Yeti brings more than technical skill to the table — he brings heart, humanity, and humor.
At his core, Yeti is a people person. He thrives in spaces of connection and emotion, whether he's photographing bubbly newlyweds, soulful family portraits, or high-energy concerts under the iHeartRadio banner. His work spans weddings, boudoir, commercial sessions, and nonprofit storytelling — all delivered with the same signature blend of precision and personality.
His passion for real, raw moments is perhaps best exemplified through The Isaac Initiative, a project he founded after photographing a terminally ill child and his family in hospice. Though the organization ended for personal wellness reasons in 2021, the emotional impact of that experience still informs Yeti’s work today — encouraging him to document not just milestones, but the meaning behind them.
When he’s not shooting weddings (35–40 weekends a year, and yes, often for the cake), Yeti is building community, advocating for thoughtful storytelling, and creating space for people to be fully seen. He’s also a proud member of the Twin Cities Professional Photography Association.
If you’re looking for images that are as real as your relationships — grounded in care, honesty, and detail — Yeti is the one to call.

I was referred to Yeti by one of my girlfriends from work. To preface this, my family is so stuffy and controlling. I’d been engaged for a while and avoiding the planning because I...
knew that if I did what I wanted, it would upset my parents greatly. If we did what they wanted, then there’s no way I was going to be happy. I was excited to be with my finance for the rest of my life, but not excited for the wedding. As we booked the venue and got down to the details, Yeti was cool with meeting my mum and chatting over some scenarios. My mum got anxious and then I got anxious and Yeti pulled this really heartfelt and profanity laced talk out of nowhere. It was a risk. Lol I thought it could be over and my mum would refuse to work with him, but she cried big happy tears and gave him a hug. I 100% believe that conversation was the only reason my mum let go and was able to enjoy the wedding day when it arrived. In short, Yeti was the best. He made us all shine. I’m no professional, but I could tell he knew what he was doing. He worked so great with the rest of the vendors too. He knew when you speak up and be direct about what he needed for photos, but also open to some of our silly ideas. I think we got our photos back 3 weeks later, 4 at the most. The online gallery is easy to share with everybody too. The only bad thing I could say is I hired him for 7 hours and I should have done 8, but that was on me. He stuck around and got our dances. We tossed him an extra tip as he was packing up. The kids loved him, everybody did. We felt good about supporting his business, we wouldn’t change anything.
Yeti is so damn funny! He’s professional, organized, but laid back. My whole family loved him, he kept us laughing the whole day. I do not think it would have been as successful or...
as fun without him. Our cake never showed up and he snuck away during dinner and brought back an ice cream cake with our name on it as a surprise. It was really nice! Our own family didn’t do that. lol He’s also a very good communicator and mediator, my family is a lot to handle and he did it with ease. He sent us a sneak peek a day or two after our wedding and the rest we got back 3 weeks later, right when we got back from our honeymoon. I’m not in a hurry to have babies, but I know I wanna hire Yeti to take photos of them.
Very poor communication skills. Got married in October and still don’t have wedding photos or even a sneak peek as of today. Sent multiple follow ups with no response and photograp...
her missed every deadline he set. At this point, I’m not sure what to do other than call him every day until he responds.
He was a really fun, goofy guy. He really worked with us to capture our day, and make it fun and special. We really enjoyed working with him!
Yeti was unbelievable!! He captured moments that we were not even aware that happened. He fit in perfectly with our wedding party and our guests. The pictures turned out so beautif...
ul and we are in love with them. It has been 10 weeks and I still have friends talking about how great "the photographer" was. I would recommend Yeti to everyone.
Joseph Yetman is the epitome of a fantastic photographer. He's kind, professional, easy going, and an all around great guy. We booked Yetty for both our engagement photos and our w...
edding. For our engagement photos, he took all of our ideas into account and made them come to life. We originally were planning to just do our pictures at Tamarack Nature Center, but he had the idea to change the setting and we ended up doing more shots in downtown White Bear. Those shots are some of our favorites, and without Joe's suggestion we wouldn't have had them.
Now to the wedding day. Joe agreed to come earlier than planned and then stayed late that day to make sure we got sunset pictures!! Seriously guys, what other photographer would go above and beyond the call of duty to make sure you get all the shots you ever wanted?!
Working with Joe was seriously the greatest decision we made in all of our wedding planning process. He made us laugh and celebrated with us in our joy. Our family and friends raved about our awesome photographer! The pictures he took are better than we could have ever imagined.
So if you are looking for a photographer with a heart of gold that will make your wedding day truly something to remember and brag about, look no further. Joe is your guy!
I grew up with Joe and when I decided on my venue I knew immediately I would hire him for photography. Not only is he a wonderful photographer, but a wonderful, funny person to wor...
k with. Smiling gets old very quick on your wedding day. Joe was able to make me laugh genuinely - which helped hold my smile all day. He stayed past his contracted time to make sure we were happy with the photos he and his partner had taken. Hire this man!
To anyone looking for professional photos for ANY occasion I strongly recommend taking a look at Yetty's work! He does an amazing job and handled my wedding day fabulously as I had...
absolutely nothing planned for him. His pricing is great and he will make sure to get you laughing for all your millions of photos! I would highly recommend him and absolutely LOVE my wedding pictures! Thanks again!
Joseph’s work is absolutely INCREDIBLE! He is the very definition of professional, and is equally as talented and dedicated to his craft. We are planning on scheduling family pictu...
res with him soon, and will use him for all of our professional photography needs in the future. Great guy, and outstanding work!
We enjoyed working with Joseph Yetman for our wedding. Joe is a talented photographer who can capture precious moments and get a crowd to laugh. We wanted him to help us create mem...
ories at our wedding; he captured many great candids and posed pictures that we will always treasure. Everybody loved his energetic personality, humor, and ability to put people at ease. If we had to choose a photographer again, I would still choose Joseph Yetman.
Through the entire experience, from planning to the actual day to after the wedding, Joseph did a wonderful job. Attention to detail and our personal style were his priorities. He ...
was very flexible with our needs and requests. Overall, the experience was wonderful and we appreciate all the hard work he did!
Joe was our photographer at our wedding in September and we couldn't have asked for a more amazing photographer! Not only was he professional, he was so personable, not to mention ...
how well he takes photographs! I was stopped multiple times by guests both at our wedding and in the weeks after that they all loved him! We are blown away by the quality of the workmanship and the pictures that our families will look at for years to come! Thank you Joe!
Our wedding photographs were absolutely beautiful (I think my jaw literally dropped when I saw them). It was a freezing 15 degrees outside, but Joseph still somehow got everyone la...
ughing! The whole experience was really fun. The simple movements of the day were perfectly captured, and we will cherish our pictures for years.
Joey was truly one of the best things about my wedding. He wasn't just a photographer... he became part of my family that night. The way he connected with everyone there; yet captu...
ring the big day was truly a gift I can't ever repay. You can truly tell through his work that he takes pride in his work. Which brings me to my next point...
The comment from emilee is completely rediculious. 1st let me tell you that she is a old childhood friend and i recommended him. The pictures can't be that bad if she has the audacity to plaster them on her Facebook; after She had her mommy call and get half her money back. just a simple example of someone trying to scam the system to get there money back. Sometimes it's not the person behind the camera that makes ugly pictures... it's the coniving people in them.
Joey, I will continue to support your photography and support your projects like the Isaac initiative. For those who don't know what this is, its a project he started where he provides NO COST family pictures for parents that has a child with a terminal illness. I promise you if you decide to go with Joey you will not only get great pictures back, but you will gain a friend for life.
Did not have a good experience with this photographer. I have not one picture of our entire wedding party that isn't crooked. Not one picture of our wedding party was edited. Pictu...
res were grainy and had lines across them. Photographer also lost some of my important pictures and didn't get a picture of our first kiss. To this day it still kills me to think that I have no pictures of my wedding party.
Joe is so fun to work with. He's a very outgoing person who interacts with your guests. Which we loved. He has no problem taking initiative on his own and is willing to do anything...
to get the pictures he's envisioning. I'm looking forward to getting our pictures :)
