Be in the moment.
I’ll keep the story.

Personal wedding photography by Robert Evans. Thoughtful preparation, an unobtrusive presence and a book that brings the day back.

Your day, as it felt.

We begin with a conversation about your people, your priorities and what you want to remember. On the day, I look for the obvious moments and the quiet ones happening around them. Here’s how to choose a photographer you feel comfortable with.

We’ll shape coverage around your celebration and discuss the finished photographs and book before you book. Explore what happens to your photographs after the wedding.

Tell me about your wedding

Minneapolis-area wedding photography

Your day. Your story. A book to keep.

Wedding collections begin at $7,500. Each includes me, a second photographer and a finished book, because I believe your wedding images deserve a life beyond the screen.

These collections are designed for local Minnesota weddings in the Minneapolis area, typically within about 50 miles of Chanhassen. For celebrations farther afield, we’ll create a proposal around your plans.

Room for the day to unfold.

I photograph one wedding per day. We plan up to ten hours together, usually from getting ready through cake cutting, with room for the moments in between. I don’t charge overtime when the day runs a little longer; we’ll talk through your timeline in advance so the coverage feels right for your celebration.

How are our images selected and finished?

I personally review the photographs and select the strongest images to tell your story. A wedding gallery often includes around 700–1,000 images, though the final number depends on your day. I value a meaningful, beautifully edited collection over a promised image count.

I photograph in RAW, then carefully adjust color, white balance, exposure and cropping. The images in your gallery are finished photographs, ready to enjoy.

For a closer look at selection, editing and finished files, read what happens to your photographs after the wedding.

When will we see our photographs and book design?

You’ll receive a small selection of 10–15 images to share while I finish editing your wedding story. Within about two weeks of the wedding, I present your first book design, followed by your edited online gallery.

With Robert Evans Studio Signature Coverage, we refine the Couture Book design together. Your finished digital images are released after your album is approved and delivered. With Essential Wedding Coverage, your finished digital images are released after your Signature Book is delivered, or three months after your wedding. Because each Couture Book is handmade, please allow four to six weeks after final design approval for printing, binding and finishing.

Once your photographs arrive, here is my advice on enjoying your wedding book and protecting your digital images.

Can we create a custom collection?

Absolutely. Parent books, duplicate albums, wall portraits, rehearsal dinners and next-day celebrations can all be considered as we plan. If you already know you’d like something extra, let’s discuss it before booking. A custom collection can often save 15–25% compared with purchasing those additions separately, depending on what you choose.

My tip on settling the details before the wedding day can help you plan coverage, extra events and finished books before booking.

Reserving your date.

I photograph just ten weddings each year, including both local and destination celebrations, so I can give each couple my personal attention. Dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis with a signed contract and a $3,500 deposit. If you have a date in mind, I’d love to hear what you’re planning.

As you compare collections, read what goes into the value of wedding photography and what a second photographer brings to your wedding story.

Before the celebration.

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes. An engagement session is a chance to spend time together and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Read about planning an engagement session that feels like you.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. I photograph celebrations in Minnesota and destinations beyond. Share the location and the shape of your plans so we can discuss coverage and travel.

How much coverage will we need?

Local wedding collections include me and a second photographer for up to ten hours, usually from getting ready through cake cutting. We’ll plan around the people and moments that matter to you, and confirm the details in your proposal. These guides to planning your wedding timeline and deciding whether you need a second photographer can help you think through your plans.

For a practical starting point, explore two sample wedding photography timelines—with a first look or without one.

Can our photographs remain private?

Yes—let’s discuss your preferences before photography begins. Publication permissions and any confidentiality requirements should be agreed in advance.
