I Want to be Your Rochester & Twin Cities Wedding + Elopement Photographer!
Thanks for visiting! My name is David A. Smith, and I’d love to photograph your intimate micro-wedding + elopement celebration in the beautiful locations of Rochester, Minnesota + the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul!
Giving couples dreamy cinematic-style photography is something I’ve had the pleasure of doing since 2010. I’m also happy to provide couples with photos shot DIGITALLY AND ON FILM!
Most importantly, though, I want to make sure you have a wonderful experience on what should be one of the happiest days you’ll ever have.
Why I Love Rochester & Twin Cities Weddings + Elopements
While I have photographed lots of big weddings over the years, what I really enjoy doing most is photographing small and intimate micro-weddings and elopements.
This is because the couple can really focus on what’s important, their love for each other, and spending time with those that are special to them, instead of having to worry about a million things at once.
That’s why I’d love to document your intimate micro-wedding or adventurous elopement in Rochester or throughout the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul!
I want to focus on you and your partner while also making sure you have an absolutely wonderful day.
Planning a Rochester & Twin Cities Wedding + Elopement
I’ve been a wedding + elopement photographer since 2010, and I take pride in the fact that I can also help coordinate a wedding for my couples.
If you need any assistance in planning, vendor selection, travel arrangements, scheduling, or any other situation that might arise, I’m here to assist.
Rochester, Minneapolis, and St. Paul are such beautiful locations that I don’t want you to worry about anything. I want you to be able to relax and enjoy this incredibly special time.
I’m here every step of the way for you and your partner!
A Full Day’s Coverage for Your Rochester & Twin Cities Wedding + Elopement
Ever since I started doing wedding + elopement photography professionally in 2010, I’ve wanted to tell the entire story of my clients.
That means I will not impose a time limit on your wedding + elopement day.
You give me a start time, and I’m there until all the events of the day and/or reception are covered.
Because I’m devoting my attention to the entire day, and am usually traveling to document your celebration, I cannot offer pricing by the hour. Everything is based on a full day’s coverage, regardless.
Wedding + Elopement Photography Pricing
I’ve been photographing weddings + elopements since 2010, and I’d love to photograph yours! All celebrations receive the following:
- Full wedding day coverage with next day sneak previews.
- All digital photos will be rapidly turned around and delivered in high-resolution format with full print rights to a private password protected gallery.
- 4 digital versions of each photo: The out-of-camera version (edited for just cropping and exposure), two edited color versions, and a black and white version.
- A set of photos shot on film. These take a bit longer to process and deliver than the digital versions.
- A $100 print and product credit.
- Wedding weekend couples session and/or rehearsal dinner coverage
- Your choice of an optional engagement session, bridal session, or boudoir session, wedding album, or 2nd shooter.
- Coordination assistance.

Pricing starts as low as $2000.
Please inquire below for a personalized quote. Your quote will be determined by the size of your celebration, date, location and travel considerations, and your choice of an engagement, bridal, and/or boudoir session, a 2nd shooter, and/or a wedding album. By-the-hour-pricing is not available.
If you are interested in booking a particular date, we can set up a consultation via a phone call or Zoom. This will help us get to know each other, answer any questions you may have, and take care of all sorts of important details.
To book your date, a signed agreement + a retainer of, typically, 1/4 of the package price would be required. Payments are usually based on a 120 Day-60 Day-Wedding Day schedule.
I ask that you please fill out the form below so I can get you an accurate and fair quote for your session. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
