Serving Maplewood and the surrounding east metro
Maplewood sits roughly 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Maplewood and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Maplewood shares a border with St. Paul and Lake Phalen — couples get east-metro pricing with downtown-adjacent portrait spots.
Clients choosing a Maplewood photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — St. Paul, Oakdale, North St. Paul, White Bear Lake, Little Canada, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Maplewood but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Maplewood landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Maplewood lean on Keller Golf Course, Bruentrup Heritage Farm, Battle Creek Regional Park, Lake Phalen. 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 Maplewood and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
