The Minneapolis Campus Club is a gem of a space right on the University of Minnesota Campus. Overlooking the quad and a bit of the river, it can be a spectacular space to showcase Minneapolis for your guests. Why I love photographing weddings at the Campus Club Two reasons: the food and the patio. The patio lends itself to spectacular backdrops for a wedding ceremony, social hour, or evening photos. As a food-focused person, I love a good local meal, and the campus club often works closely with local purveyors (including the University itself!) for one of a kind fresh…
The Minnesota History center is the headquarters of the Minnesota History Society and houses a museum, library, and event space next to Capitol Hill in St Paul. Its a gorgeous place to celebrate with guests, and one of my favorite places to photograph. Why choose the History Center for your wedding Right next to downtown St Paul, with parking and views of the skyline, the interior of the History Center is still the main reason people choose it for their wedding. The vaulted ceilings and huge windows are impressive for guests and the acoustics for the ceremony and dancing are…
Couples choose Silverwood Park for the gorgeous forest feel right in the Minneapolis St Paul Metro area. And for James and Austin, it was a perfect backdrop for their music-centered celebration, with space for their choral and instrument-focused ceremony as well as the exuberant dancing that went into the evening.

Love for a city where I work and live I’ve photographed weddings in Minneapolis for 20 years. And its also the city I call home- I run my business here, I raise my family here, and I’ve built my life here. It is full of vibrant parks I enjoy as a photographer and as a denizen – it is a city I know well. What it means to be a Minneapolis Wedding Photographer To be a photographer in Minneapolis means to balance the heartiness of this midwestern city with the elegance of its urban core. I know how to find…
High School Senior Photographer Minneapolis and St Paul – Paired down portraits that bring a modern, urban, natural feel with an elevated vibe.
Minneapolis Elopement portraits can be big on style. A touch of 80s sets the stage for this very fun downtown Minneapolis elopement, starting with Minneapolis City Hall and ending with dinner at Spoon & Stable. Getting a little weird for your elopement portraits After photographing hundreds of weddings, I find that perhaps by biggest honor is getting to see the silly side of people. I really know people are comfortable when they let me document their laughter, their funny faces, and their weird. And so, for this small downtown elopement, I so enjoyed every minute of the slightly-80s-dancing-laughing-classy joyfest that…
