Do you photograph weddings in Baldwin?
Yes. Baldwin sits about 0.8 hours from Minneapolis, out in western Wisconsin. I photograph weddings in Baldwin and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with the western Wisconsin area.
Baldwin is the largest town in eastern St. Croix County and the practical hub for barn and farm weddings across the Woodville–Hammond–Glenwood City area.
Couples choosing a Baldwin wedding photographer usually weigh up neighbouring towns too — Hammond, Woodville, New Richmond, Roberts, Glenwood City, and I travel to all of them. Travel beyond the metro is quoted up front, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay.
Where do you take portraits in Baldwin?
Portraits in Baldwin lean on Baldwin's downtown Main Street, the Cady Creek countryside, Baldwin Lake, St. Croix County farmland. Whether you're after something classic or more editorial, I map the day's schedule around the light so you get the best fifteen minutes at each stop — and with the drive built into the timeline rather than bolted on.

What the day includes
What does wedding photography coverage include in Baldwin, WI?
Every Baldwin collection covers three parts of the day: bridal portraits before the ceremony, candid documentary coverage throughout, and the ceremony and reception into the evening. Collections start at $3,100 for four hours.
- Bridal portraits: 20–30 minutes before the ceremony, by window light, in the getting-ready suite or on the venue grounds.
- Candid, documentary coverage: most of the day, directed only for posture and light.
- Ceremony and reception: processional to recessional from two positions, then speeches, first dances and the open floor.
How each part is photographed is explained in my wedding photography style, and it is the same in Baldwin, WI as anywhere in the western Wisconsin area.
Local details
What licences, permits and park rules apply in Baldwin?
Baldwin is in St. Croix County, and a Wisconsin licence has a waiting period and a much shorter shelf life than a Minnesota one.
- How do you get a marriage licence for a Baldwin wedding?
- Apply in person at any Wisconsin county clerk's office. St. Croix County charges $100, cash or check only. There is a 3-day waiting period, so apply at least four days and no more than 60 days before the wedding; the licence is valid for 60 days. Source: St. Croix County marriage licence information
- Can a Wisconsin licence be used for a ceremony in Minnesota?
- No. A Wisconsin licence covers a ceremony performed in Wisconsin only. If the ceremony itself is across the river in Minnesota, you need a Minnesota licence instead. Source: St. Croix County marriage licence information

What is it like to photograph a wedding in Baldwin?
Baldwin is the service hub for eastern St. Croix County — the town where guests stay, where the reception hall is, and where the surrounding farm venues send everyone for dinner the night before. Weddings here are barn weddings, church weddings and hall weddings, and I shoot all three regularly across the Wisconsin side.
One thing worth knowing about Baldwin weddings: guest travel from the Twin Cities is roughly 50 minutes, so ceremonies tend to start later in the day than metro weddings do. That compresses the portrait window against sunset. I build the timeline backwards from the sun rather than forwards from the ceremony, and I'll usually recommend a first look so the couple's portraits aren't squeezed into fifteen minutes after a 4:30 ceremony.

- Baldwin-area barn venues
