Serving Bloomington and the surrounding south metro
Bloomington sits in the south metro — roughly 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings across Bloomington weekly and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks unique to this corner of the Twin Cities.
Bloomington's MSP-adjacent hotel ballrooms make it the go-to for out-of-town wedding parties — Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton all in one square mile.
Couples choosing a Bloomington wedding photographer usually also compare nearby suburbs — I regularly shoot in Edina, Richfield, Eagan, Burnsville, Eden Prairie, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your ceremony is in Bloomington but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day for me, not an add-on.
Bloomington landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Bloomington lean on JW Marriott Mall of America, Hyatt Regency Bloomington, Hilton MSP, Hyland Lake Park Reserve. Whether you're aiming for a classic south metro country-club look or something more editorial, I map out the day's schedule so you get the best 15 minutes of light at each stop — no rushing between Bloomington and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
