Circle Pines Wedding Photographer
Natural, authentic wedding photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Circle Pines Wedding Photographer
Circle Pines sits 25 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the north metro, and that shapes how a wedding day runs here. Circle Pines is small and green, built around Golden Lake, so ceremonies here tend toward intimate park settings where mature pines soften midday sun and the shoreline gives a clean golden-hour backdrop. When I plan portraits in Circle Pines the shortlist usually starts with Golden Lake Park, Heritage Commons and Center Park — 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 Circle Pines 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 25 minutes each way. I work across Lexington, Lino Lakes, Blaine on identical terms, so choosing Circle Pines never narrows where the day can travel.

Circle Pines Wedding Photography FAQ
How much does a wedding photographer in Circle Pines 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 Circle Pines wedding photographer?
I recommend booking 9–14 months in advance. Peak season in Circle Pines (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 Circle Pines for weddings?
Yes — there's no travel fee for weddings within the Twin Cities metro including Circle Pines: travel within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis is included, and beyond that it is billed at cost, with no markup. I'm based in Minneapolis and also shoot weddings nationally and internationally.
What Circle Pines-area wedding venues have you photographed?
Across Circle Pines 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 Circle Pines.
Do you offer second photographer coverage for Circle Pines weddings?
Yes — a second photographer is included in the Sapphire collection and available as an add-on for Emerald and Pearl. 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 Circle Pines wedding photos back?
Full edited gallery in 6–8 weeks, with a curated set of sneak peek images delivered within 5–7 days of the wedding — perfect for thank-you cards and announcement posts.

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 Circle Pines.
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.
