Serving Lakeville and the surrounding south metro
Lakeville sits roughly 30 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Lakeville and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Lakeville's Legacy Hill Farm has become one of the south metro's top barn-wedding venues — I keep a preset dialed in for its warm evening light.
Clients choosing a Lakeville photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Burnsville, Apple Valley, Farmington, Rosemount, Prior Lake, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Lakeville but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Lakeville landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Lakeville lean on Brackett's Crossing Country Club, Crystal Lake Golf Club, Legacy Hill Farm, Ritter Farm Park. 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 Lakeville and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
