Do you photograph weddings, portraits and families in River Falls, WI?
Yes. River Falls, WI sits in the St. Croix Valley on the metro's eastern edge. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in River Falls, WI and plan each day around the venue, the light and the timing that come with the St. Croix Valley area.
River Falls takes its name from the Kinnickinnic River rapids, a class one trout stream through downtown, so weddings here pair riverside city parks with a distillery hall in town and vineyard, farm and golf venues on the rural roads around it.
Clients choosing a River Falls, WI photographer can book the neighboring towns on the same terms — Hudson (WI), Prescott (WI), Ellsworth (WI), New Richmond (WI), 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 River Falls, WI?
Local places to plan a River Falls, WI day around include Glen Park, Heritage Park, Tattersall Distilling, the Kinnickinnic River. 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.
