Woodbury Elopement Photographer
Natural, authentic elopement photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Woodbury Elopement Photographer
Woodbury sits 22 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the east metro, and that shapes how a elopement day runs here. Woodbury is the east metro's country-club capital — Eagle Valley and Prestwick alone drive most of my bookings on this side of the river. When I plan portraits in Woodbury the shortlist usually starts with Eagle Valley Golf Course, Prestwick Golf Club and Carver Lake Park — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. Your Woodbury gallery is edited in full and delivered privately within 4–6 weeks — planning and the timeline are handled before the day, which matters more than usual when the drive from Minneapolis is 22 minutes each way. I work across Maplewood, Oakdale, Cottage Grove on identical terms, so choosing Woodbury never narrows where the day can travel.

Woodbury Elopement Photography FAQ
How much does an elopement photographer in Woodbury cost?
Elopements start at $650, with a planning guide, location scouting, permit assistance, a custom timeline, and a private online gallery. Micro weddings with guests use the wedding collections, from $3,100.
Where are the best elopement locations near Woodbury?
Within driving distance of Woodbury: 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 Woodbury?
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 Woodbury 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 Woodbury?
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 Woodbury.
Will you travel from Woodbury 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.

Woodbury sits roughly 22 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph elopements and micro weddings in Woodbury and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.

Couples choosing a Woodbury elopement photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Maplewood, Oakdale, Cottage Grove, Lake Elmo, Afton, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Woodbury but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
