Minna Cirino is not just a photography brand—it’s an invitation into a world where la dolce vita is captured in every frame.
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded by Minna Cirino, the vision is rooted in a love of timeless beauty, travel, and bespoke experiences. These photographs are more than images—they are heirlooms, capturing joy, intimacy, and style to be cherished for generations.
"She is able to capture moments so genuinely and really reflect the energy about the event. We honestly could not be more happy with our choice and would pick Minna again 100 times!!!!"
— Emily, 2024 Bride
ABOUT
THE ARTIST
I’m Minna (Min-nuh)—a wife, mom, college professor, entrepreneur, world traveler, health & wellness enthusiast, and an avid reader who loves capturing life's most beautiful moments.
I’m Minna. Raised in Finland and now based in the U.S., my work is shaped by a global perspective and a deep appreciation for meaningful moments captured with intention, restraint, and care.
I was a bride fifteen years ago, and I understand how profoundly wedding photographs matter, not just now, but years from now. My approach is rooted in intention, connection, and legacy.
After nearly a decade in academia, I followed a quieter calling into photography. What began as documenting my own family evolved into a career defined by artistry and emotion. In 2017, after photographing a wedding in a historic German castle, I officially founded Minna Cirino Photography.
Today, I serve Washington, D.C. and Louisiana for couples who value beauty, intention, and images that will feel as meaningful decades from now as they do today.
