New Hope Wedding Photographer
Natural, authentic wedding photography for your most meaningful moments
Your New Hope Wedding Photographer
New Hope sits 20 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the northwest metro, and that shapes how a wedding day runs here. New Hope keeps everything close together — a 65-acre park wrapped around its own small lake, a nine-hole village course, and quiet mid-century streets, so a whole session fits inside a few square miles. When I plan portraits in New Hope the shortlist usually starts with Northwood Park and Northwood Lake, Civic Center Park and its outdoor Performance Center amphitheater and New Hope Village Golf Course — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. Pricing is the same wherever the day happens: $3,100 for 4-hour coverage and scale to all-day, two-photographer Sapphire coverage with a complimentary engagement session. Your New Hope gallery is edited in full and delivered privately within 6–8 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 Crystal, Plymouth, Golden Valley on identical terms, so choosing New Hope never narrows where the day can travel.

New Hope Wedding Photography FAQ
How much does a wedding photographer in New Hope cost?
My wedding collections start at $3,100 for 4 hours (Emerald), $4,200 for 8 hours (Pearl, two photographers), and $5,300 for 12 hours with a second photographer (Sapphire, includes a complimentary 1-year anniversary session and a highlight film). Every collection includes editorial editing, a private gallery, and full personal usage rights.
When should I book my New Hope wedding photographer?
I recommend booking 9–14 months in advance. Peak season in New Hope (June–October Saturdays) fills up first; I typically have 1–2 prime weekends left by the start of each calendar year.
Do you travel to New Hope for weddings?
Yes — there's no travel fee for weddings within the Twin Cities metro including New Hope: travel within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis is included, and beyond that it is billed at cost, with no markup. I'm based in Minneapolis and also shoot weddings nationally and internationally.
What New Hope-area wedding venues have you photographed?
Across New Hope and the Twin Cities I've shot at venues like The Hutton House, Nicollet Island Pavilion, Mill City Museum, Machine Shop Minneapolis, A'BULAE, the Landmark Center, the Saint Paul Hotel, Stillwater estates, Aria before it closed in 2022, and many private estates and backyards near New Hope.
Do you offer second photographer coverage for New Hope weddings?
Yes — a second photographer is included in the Sapphire collection and available as an add-on for Emerald and Pearl. Two photographers let me cover both partners getting ready, capture reactions you'd otherwise miss, and double the candid coverage of your guests.
How long until we get our New Hope wedding photos back?
Full edited gallery in 6–8 weeks, with a curated set of sneak peek images delivered within 5–7 days of the wedding — perfect for thank-you cards and announcement posts.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings in New Hope?
Yes, proudly. Every couple is welcomed and celebrated here. I've photographed many LGBTQ+ weddings across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the broader Twin Cities including New Hope.
What's your wedding photography style?
Warm, editorial, and true-to-life. Think candid moments + intentional editorial portraits + film-inspired color. No heavy filters, no AI presets, no trendy looks that will date your album in 5 years.
