Do you photograph weddings, portraits and families in Red Wing?
Yes. Red Wing sits about 1.1 hours from Minneapolis, out in greater Minnesota. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Red Wing and plan each day around the venue, the light and the timing that come with the greater Minnesota area.
Red Wing is a Mississippi River city and the Goodhue County seat, so weddings here pair a historic downtown hotel and bluff-top farm venues with riverfront parks and Barn Bluff.
Clients choosing a Red Wing photographer can book the neighboring towns on the same terms — Welch, Goodhue, Cannon Falls, Zumbrota, Frontenac, and I travel to all of them. Travel beyond 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis is billed at cost, with no markup, and quoted before you book.
Where do you take portraits in Red Wing?

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 — and with the drive built into the timeline rather than bolted on.
