Being a Minneapolis wedding photographer is never boring because of all the unique and different venues available.
From converted warehouse to lakeside views, the twin cities offer a fantastic blend of city and nature and an abundance of options.
Being a documentary photographer, I work with couples who want to be intentional with their experiences and have an authentic wedding that feels like their vibe. Having a Minneapolis wedding is a great way to accomplish that goal.

The magic of Minneapolis is that the options are plentiful when it comes to planning a wedding. You can literally opt for an industrial ballroom with a city view or get married outside near a lake under the glorious colors of fall. Want to get married at a barn with some llamas? Great! What about living out your nerdy dream of getting married at the Renaissance fair grounds? Do it! You can decide between a winter themed wonderland wedding or classic summer celebration. Just like your extended family, all of the seasons and opportunities live in Minnesota!

World traveling, dog snuggling, extroverted,
candid wedding photographer.
Its me, Penny, a documentary wedding photographer serving Minneapolis couples who love the real stuff.
Life is a series of perfectly imperfect moments to be enjoyed and that should carry over to your wedding day as well.
Am I right?
YES! Lets chat!
The Philosophy
I believe people love candid photos because they get to relive the unexpected moments and connections they were having with those around them.
The Method
My method includes learning about my clients to establish trust, while adding an abundance of energy and ideas to showcase real moments and a few epic portraits throughout the day.
The Style
I use my skills of lighting and creative vantage points to emphasize real moments.
I then edit and deliver these images with bold and vibrant colors that are true to how the wedding-day looked and felt.
