Yes. Princeton sits about 1 hours from Minneapolis, out in greater Minnesota. I photograph weddings in Princeton and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with the greater Minnesota area.

Portraits in Princeton lean on Riverside Park, Mark Park, Pioneer Park, The Raven Room. 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.
