Over the years, our hard work has not gone unnoticed. We go all the way back to 2008 when we were selected for “The Knot – Best of Weddings Award” for the very first time. Joannie and I have now received that prestigious award 13 times in the past 15 years (2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and once again in 2022)!

The Knot Hall of Fame

Michael & Joanie were inducted into The Knot “Best of Weddings” Hall of Fame in 2015.
In January of 2015, we received word that we had been placed into a special VIP group; The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame. In the words of The Knot; “They are simply the best-of-the-best!”
The press release from The Knot read: “Minneapolis wedding photographers Michael and Joannie Anderson, owners of Michael Anderson Photography have been inducted into The Knot Best of Weddings Hall of Fame!” – Nice!

WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award

For the 6th straight year, we’ve been honored with the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award for 2021!
In 2021, we were awarded our 6th prestigious “WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award” from Wedding Wire.
What sets these awards from The Knot and WeddingWire apart from most other awards is that they are given out based on reviews for actual brides and grooms, not by voting or other means. It tells a lot about what a business does for its clients if the client is willing to share their experiences so that other couples can make better decisions for their wedding vendors.
