Eagan Elopement Photographer
Natural, authentic elopement photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Eagan Elopement Photographer
Eagan sits 20 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the south metro, and that shapes how a elopement day runs here. Eagan's Lost Spur and Royal Cliff pull couples looking for a full-service south-metro reception without the MSP-hotel feel. When I plan portraits in Eagan the shortlist usually starts with Royal Cliff, Lost Spur Golf & Event Center and Parkview Golf Club — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. Your Eagan 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 20 minutes each way. I work across Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville on identical terms, so choosing Eagan never narrows where the day can travel.

Eagan Elopement Photography FAQ
How much does an elopement photographer in Eagan 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 Eagan?
Within driving distance of Eagan: 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 Eagan?
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 Eagan 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 Eagan?
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 Eagan.
Will you travel from Eagan 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.
