add to any package
A note on film: Film is available as an add-on to any package. It changes how the images feel — slower, warmer, more deliberate. Not for everyone, but for the right people, it's the whole point
All packages include a pre-shoot consult and a signed contract. A 50% deposit holds your date.

Conceptual & Creative Collabs
Conceptual work is where VTN Photo lives. If you have a vision, a character, a feeling, a world you want to build, then this is the collaboration to pursue. These projects are planned obsessively and shot from instinct.
Rates are negotiated based on scope, crew, and creative exchange. Serious inquiries welcome. Come with a concept, a reference, or just a mood you can't get out of your head.

Before You Ask
Common questions.
How much does wedding photography cost?
Wedding packages start at $600 for elopements, $1,000 for half-day coverage, and $1,500 for full-day coverage. Engagement sessions are available as a $200 add-on to any package. Every package includes a pre-shoot consultation, a private online gallery, and full print rights. Full pricing is listed above on this page.
How many photos do we get, and when?
Depending on coverage, wedding galleries include 150 to 500+ fully edited images, delivered in a private online gallery within 6 to 10 weeks. Portraits, events, and all other sessions are delivered within 1 to 2 weeks.
How do we book you?
It starts with a message and a phone call to make sure we fit. From there I send a straightforward contract you sign electronically, and a 50% deposit holds your date. That's it. The full process is laid out on my My Process page.
How far in advance should we book?
For weddings, most couples reach out 6 to 12 months ahead, summer and fall dates go first. That said, don't rule yourself out if your date is closer. Ask. If I'm open, I'm open.
What's it like working with you?
Comfortable, that's the whole design. By the time your day arrives, I want it to feel less like a vendor showing up and more like a friend who happens to be really good at this. I plan obsessively beforehand so that on the day, I can be fully present and the real moments can happen on their own.
Do you travel outside Minneapolis?
Yes. I'm based in Minneapolis and shoot throughout the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, and I'm always open to travel beyond that. If your date is outside the metro, reach out and we'll figure out the details together. Distance has never stopped a good shoot.
Is there an additional cost for travel?
For shoots 30 minutes or more outside of the Twin Cities, I charge mileage at the current IRS standard mileage rate. For destination weddings or creative projects further out, my package pricing and services stay exactly the same, the only addition is travel expenses (flights, lodging, and local transportation), billed at cost, no markup.
