Monroe Film & Photo Named a 2026 Minnesota Bride Best Videographer Finalist

Monroe Film and Photo Named a 2026 Minnesota Bride Best Videographer Finalist

For the second year in a row, Monroe Film & Photo was named a finalist for Best Videographer at the Minnesota Bride Best of Awards.

Held on July 20, 2026, at the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel, The Depot, this year's Best of Minnesota Bride event embraced an "Unlocking Endless Possibilities" theme, transforming the venue into a low-lit, speakeasy-inspired celebration of the state's top wedding professionals. Monroe was recognized alongside two other standout studios, Summit Hill Studios and Tim Thornburg Films, in the Best Videographer category. Being named a finalist two years running, in a category full of talented peers, is something the Monroe team doesn't take for granted.

“Getting nominated back-to-back by Minnesota Bride means our couples and fellow vendors are noticing the work we put into every film, and that means more to me than an award ever could. Congrats to all the winners, and thank you to everyone who voted for us." — Travis, Owner, Monroe Film & Photo

Being named a finalist isn't just a nice mention — it's a reflection of the trust couples place in Monroe to tell their wedding story, and the relationships built with planners, photographers, and venues across the Twin Cities and beyond. Monroe's approach has always centered on candid, documentary-style storytelling that prioritizes real moments over staged ones, and it's that consistency that's helped the studio earn recognition two years running.

Monroe Film & Photo is already looking ahead to next year's wedding season, with the same commitment to cinematic films, drone coverage, and honest storytelling that earned this nomination in the first place. A huge thank-you to every couple, vendor, and voter who made this second nomination possible.
