Blaine Elopement Photographer
Natural, authentic elopement photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Blaine Elopement Photographer
Blaine sits 22 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the north metro, and that shapes how a elopement day runs here. Blaine's TPC Twin Cities is the north metro's flagship country-club venue — famed for the PGA 3M Open, and I know its light. When I plan portraits in Blaine the shortlist usually starts with TPC Twin Cities, The Tournament Club and Lakeside Commons — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. Your Blaine gallery is edited in full and delivered privately within 4–6 weeks — planning and the timeline are handled before the day, which matters more than usual when the drive from Minneapolis is 22 minutes each way. I work across Coon Rapids, Anoka, Lino Lakes on identical terms, so choosing Blaine never narrows where the day can travel.

Blaine Elopement Photography FAQ
How much does an elopement photographer in Blaine cost?
Elopements start at $650, with a planning guide, location scouting, permit assistance, a custom timeline, and a private online gallery. Micro weddings with guests use the wedding collections, from $3,100.
Where are the best elopement locations near Blaine?
Within driving distance of Blaine: Minnehaha Falls, the Stone Arch Bridge, Hennepin County and Ramsey County courthouses, Mill City Museum ruins, private backyards in Stillwater, and a 2.5-hour drive to the North Shore (Split Rock, Tettegouche, Gooseberry Falls) for adventure elopements.
What is the difference between an elopement and a micro wedding in Blaine?
An elopement is typically just the two of you (plus an officiant and a witness), focused on the ceremony and portraits. A micro wedding is 20 guests or fewer with shortened day-of timelines. I photograph both throughout Blaine and beyond.
How long is an elopement session?
Elopement coverage typically runs 1–8 hours depending on your day. A courthouse + portraits day usually fits in 2–3 hours; a full North Shore adventure elopement is a 6–10 hour day.
Do you photograph courthouse weddings in Blaine?
Yes — courthouse elopements at Hennepin County Government Center and Ramsey County Courthouse are a beautiful fit for a 1–2 hour coverage package, often paired with portraits at Stone Arch Bridge, Mill District, or a meaningful spot in Blaine.
Will you travel from Blaine for a destination elopement?
Yes — I travel from Minneapolis nationally and internationally for elopements. Travel fees are quoted transparently based on the destination and timeline.
