Serving Northfield and the surrounding greater Minnesota
Northfield sits about 0.8 hours from Minneapolis, out in greater Minnesota. I photograph weddings in Northfield and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with the greater Minnesota area.
Northfield's two college chapels (Boe and Skinner) plus the Grand Event Center make it a full-day wedding town — everything within a mile.
Couples choosing a Northfield wedding photography photographer usually weigh up neighbouring towns too — Dundas, Faribault, Lakeville, Farmington, and I travel to all of them. Travel beyond the metro is quoted up front, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay.
Northfield landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Northfield lean on Grand Event Center, Willingers Golf Club, Boe Memorial Chapel, Skinner Chapel. 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.

What the day includes
Ceremony, Reception & Portrait Coverage in Northfield, MN
Bridal portraits
Before the ceremony I set aside 20–30 minutes for bridal portraits — full-length, three-quarter and detail frames of the dress, veil and bouquet. In Northfield, MN that usually happens in the getting-ready suite or a quiet corner of the venue grounds, using window light rather than flash so the images match the rest of the gallery.
Candid, documentary coverage
Most of the day is photographed candidly. I direct just enough for posture and light, then step back and let things happen — the toast that lands, the parent who turns away, the friends reorganising the dance floor. It is documentary work with editorial finishing, not a shot list worked through in order.
Ceremony and reception
Ceremony coverage runs from the processional through the recessional, shot from two positions so you get both the vows and the faces watching them. Reception coverage carries through speeches, first dances and the open floor, with off-camera light once the room goes dark. Collections start at $2,700 for four hours in Northfield, MN and across the wider Twin Cities area.
