Wedding • Lifestyle • Boudoir Photography

Hey, I’m Shaeli – the face behind Shaeli Kolden Photography!

I am a North Dakota photographer serving Bismarck, Garrison, Minot, and surrounding areas, specializing in weddings, boudoir, and lifestyle sessions. My approach is simple. I want your photos to feel like real life, not over-posed or over-edited. My editing style is true to life with a slightly moody feel, keeping tones natural so your images still look like you years from now.

I show up fully for my couples and put a lot of care into the experience, not just the final gallery. I help when things feel chaotic, guide when you need direction, and step back when moments just need to happen naturally. With boudoir, I focus on creating a space where women feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely empowered in their own skin.
