I'm Minna, Air Force spouse, mom, world traveler. I think your wedding photos deserve to be as epic as your love story.
Born and raised in Finland, I have always been a world traveler at heart. I first adventured to the United States at the age of 16 as an exchange student and returned a few years later. Spent nearly a decade in college, left my career in academia and found my life's passion in photography. I have been married to love of my life, Donovan, for 12 years. Thanks to his career in the Air Force, we have lived in Germany and all over the U.S. Our lives are immeasurably enriched by our two boys.
ABOUT
I believe in celebrating the moments you feel the most like yourself.
Ultimately my photography is about human connection and legacies of love. I was drawn to learn the basics of photography and how to use a DSLR camera after our son was born in 2012. I wanted to become our family historian and document every moment with him. Another push toward professional photography happened in 2015 when we moved to Germany and had a once-in-lifetime opportunity to do a lot of traveling. The desire to document our travels inspired me to seriously learn photography. Quickly my hobby turned into serious passion. I assisted my mentor photograph a wedding at a German castle in 2017 (yes, it was as amazing as it sounds!) and I have never looked back. Minna Cirino Photography, LLC (MCP) was officially established in 2017.

a few more things you should know:
I married the love of my life, Donovan, in 2010 and I love nothing more than spending time with these three handsome guys!
This is my sweet little family.
My timeless and classic style is inspired by the works of the Impressionist painters, light and most importantly, organic human connections. Even better when captured on film.
I like clean & classic images.

The popular quote "I’d rather have a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff" very much summarizes my take on life. Some of my favorite cities include Paris, Budapest, Lisbon and Prague... but there's still so much to see!
My number one source of inspiration is traveling.

Your photos do not belong just on your phone.

I believe your images should be printed in legacy albums and prints placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for your grandchildren to enjoy one day!
Living in the moments.
Wedding days will go by in a blink of an eye. I believe in careful preparation - from timeline design to knowing what to expect so that you can fully enjoy each moment of the day!
I believe
Love knows no bounds.
