Yes. Red Wing sits about 1 hours from Minneapolis, out in greater Minnesota. I photograph weddings in Red Wing and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with the greater Minnesota area.
Red Wing's St. James Hotel and Barn Bluff give couples a Mississippi-bluff wedding day 60 minutes from Minneapolis — a proper destination without flights.
Couples choosing a Red Wing wedding photographer usually weigh up neighbouring towns too — Hastings, Lake City, Cannon Falls, Frontenac, 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.

Do you charge travel fees for Red Wing?
Red Wing is about 55 minutes southeast of the Twin Cities. I include up to 1 hour of travel one-way in every collection — no add-on for Red Wing weddings.

Packages begin at $3,100 for a 4-hour day, $4,200 for 8 hours with a second shooter, and $5,300+ for full-day documentary coverage. A complimentary engagement session and 2–3 week sneak peeks come standard.
Have you shot at the St. James Hotel?
Yes — the St. James is one of my favorite Mississippi River venues. The brick details, the rooftop river view, and the historic ballroom give every wedding gallery a timeless, editorial feel.
Best Red Wing engagement spots?
Sorin's Bluff / Memorial Park overlook of the river, Barn Bluff trail at sunset, the historic downtown brick streets, Colvill Park along the Mississippi, and Frontenac State Park just south.
Do you charge travel to Red Wing, MN?
Red Wing is just past the 40 miles from downtown Minneapolis that travel is included for, so mileage is billed at cost with no markup and quoted before you book. There is no per diem.
Have you shot at the St. James Hotel Red Wing?
Yes — the St. James is one of my favorite historic MN wedding venues. The Victorian lobby, riverfront balconies, and the Port of Red Wing restaurant make for gorgeous prep and portrait coverage.
Can you shoot a Red Wing bluff elopement?
Yes — elopements start at $650 and cover a ceremony on Barn Bluff or Memorial Park, portraits along the Mississippi, and a downtown post-ceremony walk. Red Wing is beyond my 40-mile included radius, so travel is billed at cost with no markup. Popular with couples eloping from the Cities.
Best time of year for Red Wing wedding photos?
Late September through mid-October — the bluff foliage lights up in gold, orange, and red, and the river reflects it. Mid-May and June are close seconds for green bluffs and blooming wildflowers.
How do you handle bluff-top ceremony wind?
I shoot with weather-sealed bodies and bring a windscreen for audio if there's a videographer. For portraits I plan windward angles so veils and dress fabric flow toward the camera instead of into your face.
Do you know Red Wing wedding vendors?
Yes — I've worked with most Red Wing planners, florists, and DJs. Ask for my vetted vendor list; I hand it to every couple booking a Red Wing wedding.
