Do you photograph weddings, portraits and families in Eagan?
Yes. Eagan sits in the south metro of the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Eagan and plan each day around the venue, the light and the timing that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Eagan pairs Royal Cliff's ballroom and ceremony garden on Cliff Road and the city-run Eagan Community Center with Lebanon Hills, the largest park in the Dakota County system, so a south-metro day can stay inside the city.
Clients choosing an Eagan photographer can book the nearby suburbs on the same terms — Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights, Burnsville, Apple Valley, Rosemount, with travel included within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis. If your session is in Eagan but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Where do you take portraits in Eagan?
Local places to plan a Eagan day around include Royal Cliff, Eagan Community Center, Lebanon Hills Regional Park, Holz Farm. Whether you're after something classic or more editorial, I map the day's schedule around the light so you get the best fifteen minutes at each stop, with no rush between Eagan and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
Which cities near Eagan do you cover?
I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul south metro. These are the towns next to Eagan, plus Minneapolis and St. Paul; the linked ones have their own local guide.
