Chanda Ounkong Photography

Chanda Ounkong Photography Chanda Ounkong Photography is a freelance service specializing in events, portraits, and weddings. Hello! Have a great day!

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for capturing the essence of each moment, I deliver stunning, high-quality images that tell a story! I'm Chanda Ounkong, the owner and freelance photographer behind Chanda Ounkong Photography. I began my photography career in 2014, and since then, I've been passionate about capturing beautiful moments. Born and raised in Austin, MN, I graduated from Austin

High School in 2015 and continued my education at Rochester Community and Technical College, earning a Liberal Arts and Science degree with a photography certificate. In 2020, I moved to Rochester, MN, and recently relocated to Eagan, MN, in 2024. Alongside my photography business, I hold a full-time job, balancing my professional commitments while pursuing a Professional Communication degree at St. Cloud State University, with graduation set for December 2024. I primarily photograph around Southern MN and the Twin Cities area, but I'm always open to travel for the perfect shot. Feel free to message me with any photo-related questions.

To my clients who may or may not know what’s currently happening in Minnesota, ICE has a heavy presence around the Twin Cities over the past few months. As someone who calls this place home, it’s been really hard to witness the fear, pain, and uncertainty this has caused for many in our community, myself included.

Toward the end of 2025, I made a promise to myself to push my creativity and photograph something meaningful each month in 2026. What better way to begin that creative journey than by documenting strong Minnesotans—embracing the cold, taking to the streets of Minneapolis, and using their voices around something that matters deeply to them.

As a photographer, I believe it’s important to document moments like this. These moments deserve to be documented — not as spectacle, but as part of the history unfolding in our communities.

Happy Senior Sunday! 🎓

I had the pleasure of capturing Wesley’s high school senior photos, and they turned out amazing! This session was extra special because a few years ago, I photographed his sister’s senior photos. It’s always such a joy when families ask me to come back to photograph other family members — it truly means so much.

Congratulations, Wesley, on your senior year! Wishing you all the best as you start this next chapter.

Congratulations Nick & Karlee! 💍✨

Wishing you both the very best as you begin this next chapter together. This wedding was extra special for me because it was my very first elopement, and I’m so grateful Nick & Karlee trusted me to capture it.

I even had the chance to design custom labels for their champagne pop 🥂, and they enjoyed the most beautiful cake from 🍰. Every little detail felt so personal and meaningful.

I had such a wonderful time capturing these two during their couple’s session!

And just like that… the 2025 wedding season is off to a beautiful start!

Josh and I had the pleasure of capturing Evan & Rebecca’s special day last weekend. The weather was perfect, the venue was stunning, and my favorite part was the first look.

It was such a joy watching them just be themselves with each other. Those are the moments I love the most.

Congratulations, Evan & Rebecca, enjoy this next chapter in life!
