Alexandria Wedding Photographer
Natural, authentic wedding photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Alexandria Wedding Photographer
Alexandria is roughly 2.2 hours north-west of the metro, out in greater Minnesota, and that shapes how a wedding day runs here. Alexandria sits inside a chain of lakes, so ceremonies here almost always have water somewhere in frame; downtown's brick storefronts and the Legacy Gardens give an easy indoor-outdoor backup when Minnesota weather turns. When I plan portraits in Alexandria the shortlist usually starts with Big Ole Central Park on Lake Agnes, Alexandria City Park on Lake Agnes and Lake Henry and Legacy of the Lakes Museum and Legacy Gardens — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. Pricing is the same wherever the day happens: $3,100 for 4-hour coverage and scale to all-day, two-photographer Sapphire coverage with a complimentary engagement session. Your Alexandria gallery is edited in full and delivered privately within 6–8 weeks — planning and the timeline are handled before the day, which matters more than usual when the drive from Minneapolis is 130 minutes each way. I work across Carlos, Garfield, Osakis on identical terms, so choosing Alexandria never narrows where the day can travel.

Alexandria Wedding Photography FAQ
How much does a wedding photographer in Alexandria cost?
My wedding collections start at $3,100 for 4 hours (Emerald), $4,200 for 8 hours (Pearl, two photographers), and $5,300 for 12 hours with a second photographer (Sapphire, includes a complimentary 1-year anniversary session and a highlight film). Every collection includes editorial editing, a private gallery, and full personal usage rights.
When should I book my Alexandria wedding photographer?
I recommend booking 9–14 months in advance. Peak season in Alexandria (June–October Saturdays) fills up first; I typically have 1–2 prime weekends left by the start of each calendar year.
Do you travel to Alexandria for weddings?
Yes — Alexandria is outside the Twin Cities metro. Travel within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis is included; beyond that it is billed at cost, with no markup, and quoted up front with the collection. I'm based in Minneapolis and also shoot nationally and internationally.
What Alexandria-area wedding venues have you photographed?
Across Alexandria and the Twin Cities I've shot at venues like The Hutton House, Nicollet Island Pavilion, Mill City Museum, Machine Shop Minneapolis, A'BULAE, the Landmark Center, the Saint Paul Hotel, Stillwater estates, Aria before it closed in 2022, and many private estates and backyards near Alexandria.
Do you offer second photographer coverage for Alexandria weddings?
Yes — a second photographer is included in the Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire collections and available as an add-on for the Emerald. Two photographers let me cover both partners getting ready, capture reactions you'd otherwise miss, and double the candid coverage of your guests.
How long until we get our Alexandria wedding photos back?
A curated sneak peek within 1–2 weeks of the wedding and the full edited gallery within 6–8 weeks — the published wedding timeline.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings in Alexandria?
Yes, proudly. Every couple is welcomed and celebrated here. I've photographed many LGBTQ+ weddings across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the broader Twin Cities including Alexandria.
What's your wedding photography style?
Warm, editorial, and true-to-life. Think candid moments + intentional editorial portraits + film-inspired color. No heavy filters, no AI presets, no trendy looks that will date your album in 5 years.
