Serving River Falls, WI and the surrounding St. Croix Valley

River Falls, WI sits in the St. Croix Valley — roughly 45 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and inside the St. Croix Valley (Minneapolis–St. Paul metro's eastern edge). I photograph weddings across River Falls, WI weekly and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks unique to this corner of the Twin Cities.

River Falls is a favorite for couples who want small-town Wisconsin charm — the Kinnickinnic riverbanks are a dream for engagement sessions.

Couples choosing a River Falls, WI wedding photographer usually also compare nearby suburbs — I regularly shoot in Hudson (WI), Prescott (WI), Ellsworth (WI), all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your ceremony is in River Falls, WI but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day for me, not an add-on.

River Falls, WI landmarks I shoot around

Portraits in River Falls, WI lean on Kilkarney Hills Golf Club, Junior's Restaurant & Tap House, the Kinnickinnic River, UW-River Falls. Whether you're aiming for a classic St. Croix Valley country-club look or something more editorial, I map out the day's schedule so you get the best 15 minutes of light at each stop — no rushing between River Falls, WI and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.

Why River Falls Weddings Photograph So Well

River Falls sits in the Kinnickinnic River valley just 35 minutes east of downtown St. Paul. The bluffs, the trout stream, and the small-college-town Main Street give a very different backdrop than downtown Twin Cities — think Wisconsin-farm-meets-river-town. I build portrait loops that hit Glen Park, the downtown Kinni bridge, and Junior's brick alley all inside a 10-minute walking radius so you never lose reception time to travel.

Preferred River Falls & Kinni Valley Venues

Rush River Golf Club (bluff-view rolling course), Kilkarney Hills Golf Club (dramatic ridge ceremony site), Junior's rehearsal-dinner space downtown, Willow River State Park (10 minutes north), and private Kinni-front estates. I've walked all of them and can send real galleries on request.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — River Falls is inside my 75-mile Twin Cities travel-included radius. No travel fee, no hotel, no per diem. I average 6–10 River Falls and western Wisconsin weddings per year.

Rush River Golf Club, Kilkarney Hills Golf Club, Junior's Restaurant & Tap House rehearsal spaces, private Kinnickinnic River estates, and Willow River State Park just north — all within 15 minutes of downtown River Falls.

My collections in River Falls run $1,800 (4-hour elopement) to $8,500 (10-hour luxury with second shooter, album, same-day slideshow). Identical pricing to my Twin Cities work — no cross-state or travel surcharge.

Can we do Kinnickinnic River portraits?

Absolutely — the Kinni is one of the prettiest small rivers in the Midwest. Glen Park bridge and the downtown river walk both photograph beautifully at golden hour. I build a 30-minute portrait loop into every River Falls timeline.

Yes — I've worked with the top River Falls and Hudson-area florists, DJs, planners, and officiants. Ask for my vetted vendor list; it goes to every booked couple.

Are you licensed to shoot in Wisconsin?

Yes — fully licensed and insured in both Minnesota and Wisconsin with $2M liability. I add the venue as additional insured on request, no extra fee.

Best season for a River Falls wedding?

Late September through mid-October — the Kinni valley bluffs turn gold and red, and the river reflects it. Mid-May through June is close for green bluffs and blooming wildflowers.

Do you photograph UW-River Falls campus weddings?

Yes — I've shot several UWRF alumni weddings on and around campus. The South Fork Suspension Bridge and Falcon Center green are two of my favorite campus portrait spots.
