Planning a Wedding?

You have hundreds of things to worry about, your wedding photographer shouldn’t be one of them.

Joannie & I are considered among the best Minneapolis and St. Paul wedding photographers. With over 30 years of experience, we have photographed well over 800 weddings, creating award-winning wedding photos along the way. Our Mounds View portrait studio can go mobile to just about any wedding location ensuring great lighting for your wedding photos.

Destination wedding photography is also something that we really excel at. Joannie and I have been destination wedding photographers in many parts of Minnesota. From Duluth, Two Harbors, Gooseberry Falls, Split Rock Lighthouse and Hibbing up north, to Rochester, Red Wing and Alexandria in the south. Our more distant destination wedding photo locations include all over Wisconsin and Iowa, San Antonio, Texas and the stunning Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii.

We truly are Minnesota’s Husband and Wife Wedding Photography Team and the only Light Painting Wedding Photographers in the world. These are beautiful, one-of-a-kind wedding photographs that are not available anywhere else.

We’ll help you plan what to wear, the time of day that’s best for lighting, add more lighting if needed, and finally, help you decide the proper size to display in your home or office. Heck, we even have our very own Portrait Park in Mounds View, MN that’s available to you at no extra cost.

Child Growing Up Too Fast?

Capturing a milestone in your child’s life doesn’t have to be stressful!

Your kids can’t look great if they are not relaxed and enjoying the process of having their portraits created. Because we have a home-based indoor and outdoor studio in Mounds View, your kids will be much more comfortable having fun getting their portraits taken here.

And when your kids get older (which will be in the blink of an eye), we specialize in beautiful high school senior pictures too!

Trust us to help capture that moment – click here

 


 

We love when these milestones come up because it means we get to work with you again. Thank you so much for all your patience with Mommy and me, and for sharing your amazing talent with us. You’ve created such great treasures for our family and we can’t tell you enough how much we appreciate you! Thanks a million!”

– Love, Katie (and the whole family) – More Testimonials Here

 


Nature and Wildlife Photography

The Northern Lights on the north shore of Lake Superior in March 2021.

The Aurora Borealis. The photo was captured in Silver Bay, Minnesota on a very cold March night in 2021.

Michael is an accomplished nature and wildlife photographer as well. In fact, that’s how he began his career in photography over 35 years ago. He took a long hiatus from nature and wildlife photography to operate their wedding and portrait studio, but he is now back doing it just for the fun of it!

One of his favorite flying subjects to photograph is bald eagles. Both locally, and in other locations such as Alaska, these magnificent birds of prey are amazing!

Soaring bald eagle Kenai Mountains Kachemak Bay, Alaska.

He and Joannie also were able to photograph brown bears (grizzlies) on an amazing excursion in Alaska!

PPhoto was taken during one of Michael Anderson Photography Tours to Alaska.

Fresh salmon, it’s what’s for lunch!

Oh, yeah, and humpback whales are also one of his favorite wildlife subjects to photograph. We will have a humpback whale gallery coming soon for you to enjoy as well
