MINNESOTA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY DOCUMENTED WITH INTENTION.

Artful, romantic photos for a wedding day rooted in what matters most to you.

Getting married immersed in nature, surrounded by stunning city architecture, in between the joyful chaos of your favorite people. No matter where or how you get married, your wedding deserves to be photographed with intention and care.

I’m here to help you slow down and celebrate. Your marriage is all ready meaningful, your photos should feel that way too.

What it’s like to work together

On the day you get married I want you both to celebrate and embrace your truest selves.

I’ll gently guide you when needed, but most of the time, I’ll be photographing the little moments of how you naturally are together.

My goal as your wedding photographer is to take care of your photography so you can keep your attention on your day. I’ll guide you so you can relax, and look back on your wedding day through artful, emotional photographs.

Tips & Inspiration For Your Wedding

Let’s tell your love story, your way.

Your wedding day isn’t just about the timeline — it’s about the heartbeat behind it.
If that resonates, I’d love to hear from you.

GOT SOME QUESTIONS?

Message me, and I’ll send more info plus an invite to chat. When you’re excited to move forward, you can book your date online.

Yes! I photograph weddings throughout Minnesota and beyond. Travel within about 90 miles of Minneapolis is included and I’m experienced at traveling farther too.

Yes. To be fully booked, 25% of your total package is due as a non-refundable reservation fee. 

**The reservation fee guarantees that your wedding date is scheduled on my calendar and I turn down all other bookings for the date to remain available for you.

I “went official” with my business and started photographing weddings in 2012. Before this I was employed by a photography studio.

Your photos are backed up from the moment I start shooting. Each image saves to two cards, then in multiple places afterward—a reliable method I’ve refined over the past decade.

Editing time will be 8 weeks or less. I’ll also provide you with a preview in your gallery to get you excited while you’re waiting.

For engagements and other portraits, editing time is 2-4 weeks depending on the season.

Absolutely. I’ll help you build a realistic photography timeline so the day flows smoothly and you stay present.

We embrace it. Some of the most emotional, beautiful pictures happen in unexpected weather.

Most couples book weddings 6–15 months out and elopements 2-9 months out. I can also accommodate planning in a shorter time frame.

Halfway between Minneapolis and Mankato. Because of this, it’s easy for me to travel to wedding venues in the Twin Cities and other areas.

A bit of relaxed documentary photography, a bit of artful editorial, and a lot of fun!

Really I’m not sure there’s a specific word to describe it, except that I want you to feel amazing and have an awesome time during your pictures. I also like little details and opportunities to get creative.

Yes. Gentle touch-ups on portraits, color and light correction, and a curated selection of black-and-white edits are all included.

No — I specialize exclusively in still photography.

My wedding packages include professionally captured, edited photographs, but I do not provide wedding videography or video coverage.

If having video is important to you, I’m happy to recommend a few talented wedding videographers you can consider adding to your vendor team.

Your photos are delivered in a beautifully designed online gallery—easy to view, download, and share. You’ll receive both high-resolution images for printing and web-sized files perfect for sharing online.

Your gallery stays online for one year, with options to extend storage if you’d like. I also recommend downloading your photos right away and keeping two personal backups for safekeeping.

Yes — you’ll receive high-resolution files with full printing and personal use rights.
