I’m so happy you’re here!

Hello!

I’m Reyna, the heart and soul behind Sea Circus Weddings. With over 12 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’m based in Minneapolis but have had the joy of capturing love stories across the country. My journey also led me to capture beautiful moments in Bali, ranch weddings in Carmel-by-the-Sea California, engagement shoots in New York Sea and on the shores of New Buffalo Michigan! I am always ready for an adventure to capture a beautiful love story.

My passion for photography blossomed from witnessing the profound love my grandparents share. At 86 and 84, their enduring bond is beautifully preserved in their wedding photos, which have become cherished heirlooms in our family. The timeless color tones and raw, natural emotions in their images inspire me to create heirloom photography for the couples I work with. I love capturing celebration, people on their happiest days, the intricacies of deep love, and beautiful flowers.

I live in a charming Tudor house in Minneapolis with my husband, our two little girls, and our cuddly cat, Goose—named after Gooseberry Falls, where we tied the knot in 2019! In my free time, you’ll often find us enjoying dance parties, embarking on camping adventures, or cuddling up with a good book (currently, I'm captivated by The Secret History by Donna Tart).

Storyteller | Creator | Adventurer

STORYTELLER

I have always been fascinated by the art of telling a story.  I have been an avid reader my entire life (please share your favorite books with me!), which morphed into becoming a lifestyle blogger - developing into my passion in photography, which combines the art of both discovering the best story to be told, and capturing it in a way that evokes emotion for the viewer.

CREATOR

Much of the inspiration I pull from while creating photos comes from my background in classical ballet. The romance, movement, and attention to positioning of the human body has greatly influenced how I compose and capture my couples stories.

ADVENTURER

 My parents instilled the love of travel into my brother and I from a young age. Every year, we would pack up our camper, and go on adventures for months at a time.  I've been to 43 of the 50 states, and while my parents gave me the gift of exploring the USA with them, I am now venturing further into South America, Indonesia, and of course, Europe.  Every one of my adventures has brought something new to the way I approach photography, and life. Next month I will be in Ireland for a two week hiking adventure!
