Serving Hopkins and the surrounding west metro
Hopkins sits roughly 18 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Hopkins and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Hopkins is quietly one of my favorite Twin Cities venue markets — the Hutton House alone drives most of the wedding traffic here, and I've shot it dozens of times.
Clients choosing a Hopkins photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Edina, Eden Prairie, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Hopkins but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Hopkins landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Hopkins lean on The Hutton House, Meadowbrook Golf Club, Shady Oak Beach, historic Mainstreet Hopkins. 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 Hopkins and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
