One photographer for both cities
Most Twin Cities weddings are not in one city — they are spread across the corridor. Getting ready in a St. Paul hotel, first look on the Mississippi River Boulevard bluffs, ceremony in a Summit Hill church, reception in a North Loop warehouse. Booking a photographer who works between St. Paul and Minneapolis every week means the timeline accounts for the real drive time, the parking, and where the sun actually lands at 7:40 p.m. in August.
The two downtowns are roughly 12 miles apart along I-94, and the stretch in between holds some of the strongest portrait light in Minnesota: the river gorge, the Lake Street–Marshall Avenue bridge, the Ford Parkway overlook, Hidden Falls, and the East River Flats. I plan a portrait stop inside that corridor for almost every wedding, because it is the fastest way to get a landscape-scale frame without leaving the city.
There is no travel fee anywhere in this corridor, and no per-city surcharge for splitting the day. If your ceremony is in St. Paul and your reception is in Minneapolis, that is one flat collection rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you cover weddings between St. Paul and Minneapolis?
Yes — the corridor between St. Paul and Minneapolis is my home ground. Ceremony in one city, portraits along the river, reception in the other: that is a normal Saturday, and there is no travel fee anywhere between the two downtowns.
Can we split the day between both downtowns?
Absolutely. The drive between downtown St. Paul and downtown Minneapolis is 12–15 minutes outside rush hour. I build the timeline around that drive so you keep golden hour instead of spending it in traffic.
What are the best portrait stops between St. Paul and Minneapolis?
The Mississippi River Boulevard bluffs, the Marshall Avenue and Lake Street bridge, Stone Arch Bridge and Mill Ruins Park on the Minneapolis end, Summit Avenue and the Cathedral steps on the St. Paul end, and the University Avenue corridor for editorial street work.
How much is wedding photography in the Twin Cities corridor?
Collections start at $2,700 for six hours, $5,500 for eight hours with a second photographer, and $7,500+ for full-day documentary coverage. Every collection includes an engagement session, a print release, and sneak peeks in two to three weeks.
Do you also shoot engagement photography in this area?
Yes. Engagement photography along the river corridor is included with wedding collections at $5,500 and up, or $495 as a standalone session.
