Natural, authentic elopement photography for your most meaningful moments
Your St. Croix Falls Elopement Photographer
Planning an elopement or micro wedding in St. Croix Falls? I'm Emma Ziegler, a Minnesota elopement photographer based in Minneapolis. I photograph intimate ceremonies the same way I photograph full weddings — with intention, beautiful light, and zero rush. Whether you're saying your vows at the courthouse in downtown St. Croix Falls, on a private deck overlooking Lake Superior, in a backyard with your closest 12 people, or on an adventure hike on the Superior Hiking Trail, I'll build a custom timeline around your day and document every meaningful moment. Every elopement collection includes a planning consultation, location scouting recommendations specific to St. Croix Falls and the surrounding area, ceremony and portrait coverage, and all professionally edited images delivered in a private gallery within 4–6 weeks. Micro weddings of 20 guests or fewer are some of my favorite work — the day has the warmth of an elopement with the celebration of a full wedding.

St. Croix Falls Elopement Photography FAQ
How much does an elopement photographer in St. Croix Falls cost?
Elopement collections start at $1,800 for 3 hours of intimate coverage and scale up for full-day adventure elopements and micro weddings. Every collection includes planning support, ceremony coverage, portraits, and a private gallery.
Where are the best elopement locations near St. Croix Falls?
Within driving distance of St. Croix Falls: Minnehaha Falls, the Stone Arch Bridge, Hennepin County and Ramsey County courthouses, Mill City Museum ruins, private backyards in Stillwater, and a 2.5-hour drive to the North Shore (Split Rock, Tettegouche, Gooseberry Falls) for adventure elopements.
What is the difference between an elopement and a micro wedding in St. Croix Falls?
An elopement is typically just the two of you (plus an officiant and a witness), focused on the ceremony and portraits. A micro wedding is 20 guests or fewer with shortened day-of timelines. I photograph both throughout St. Croix Falls and beyond.
How long is an elopement session?
Elopement coverage typically runs 1–8 hours depending on your day. A courthouse + portraits day usually fits in 2–3 hours; a full North Shore adventure elopement is a 6–10 hour day.
Do you photograph courthouse weddings in St. Croix Falls?
Yes — courthouse elopements at Hennepin County Government Center and Ramsey County Courthouse are a beautiful fit for a 1–2 hour coverage package, often paired with portraits at Stone Arch Bridge, Mill District, or a meaningful spot in St. Croix Falls.
Will you travel from St. Croix Falls for a destination elopement?
Yes — I travel from Minneapolis nationally and internationally for elopements. Travel fees are quoted transparently based on the destination and timeline.
