Minnesota Wedding Photography

12 Hours

Opting for a 12-hour package offers the luxury of time and the breadth of coverage. It’s a choice that allows for unexpected shifts in the schedule, ensuring a relaxed and unhurried approach to capturing each moment. With the inclusion of two photographers, the breadth of candid moments, intricate details, and varied perspectives is expanded, resulting in a gallery that is as comprehensive as it is evocative.

With 10 hours of coverage, there’s an opportunity to dive deeper into the wedding’s narrative. It ensures detailed coverage of both partners' preparations and extends into the liveliness of the reception. An optional second photographer can be included to broaden the perspective, capturing a diverse range of moments and angles that add depth and variety to the final gallery, making it a reflective portrayal of the event’s richness.

10 Hours

8 Hours

An 8-hour package is concise yet comprehensive, ideally suited for events at a single or nearby locations. It provides a snapshot of the day’s pivotal moments, capturing the bride’s preparation, the ceremony’s emotion, and the initial energy of the reception, including speeches and the beginning of the dance celebrations. It’s a focused approach, ensuring the key elements of your day are beautifully encapsulated.

It can be hard to know how many hours of coverage you need especially so early in the planning process. So below I've broken down typical structures of wedding days and what it would look and feel like for the various hours of coverage. If you would like more advice, inquire with me and we can start building you a timeline!

Candids, Creative Shots & Film

Throughout the day I'll be keeping my eyes open to get truly candid & heartfelt moments, take some film pictures, and pull you both aside if something catches my eye to get those magazine-worthy pictures perfect for hanging in your bedroom.

If none of the packages isn't exactly what you're looking for or you want to change or modify one of them to suit your wedding day better, we will be able to walk through options on your consultation call! Inquire to set that up!

I primarily use a Canon R5 camera as it is a fantastic medium format camera that produces some of the highest resolution images in all lighting conditions. I also have a backup camera in case of emergency. The lenses I use include a 16mm, 50mm, 24-70mm, & 70-200mm. These ranges all accomodate short distances, long distances, large groups, portraits, etc!

Of course! Feel free to send the gallery to family/friends/ guests. When I deliver your gallery, I provide you with a gallery owner access link along with a private family & friends link. They also have the ability to order prints through the print store that's connected to the gallery!
