Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

For couples who want to ditch the generic

Hey! I’m Jeff

I’m a Minneapolis wedding photographer, serving Minnesota and beyond. I believe each person and every relationship is overflowing with worth and value and my aim is to draw that out and capture it in frames. My hope is that, years from now, you’ll look at the photos of your wedding and be reminded of the awesome relationship you have.

Marriage is the best. Weddings happen all over, but a marriage is created from within. Your unique relationship is what draws me in and I’d love to see what we can create together.

Why Work With Me

Relaxed Vibe

My aim is to keep my shoots as relaxed as possible. Most people say they feel like short little adventures (of course, with old friend Jeff tagging along).

Experience

Rain, snow, blazing sun, you name it, I’ve photographed in it. Rest easy, knowing that I can create in nearly any situation.

Style

Taking more of a documentary approach, my approach tends to be less on posing, and more on drawing out your natural connection.

Next Steps

01. Connect

Every relationship starts somewhere. Let’s setup a time to connect and hear what you’re dreaming up. Together we’ll create a timeline that supports your day, so when the day comes you can focus less on logistics (boo) and more on celebrating (yay!

02. Create

You made it! Put your party pants on, we’ve arrived. Let’s get inspired and have some fun. This is where magic happens.

03. Deliver

After your wedding I go right to work on your photos, taking safe care of the images created. In a few weeks, your gallery will be yours to relive that amazing day over and over.

Testimonials

“From the moment we met Jeff, we knew he was the photographer for us. We loved his charisma, passion, and ability to capture emotions. From initial planning through the end of our big day, Jeff’s friendly and genuine nature made him very enjoyable to work with. Our family and bridal party loved him, and we ended up with the most beautiful photos. We could not have asked for a better photographer. We hope to work with Jeff again in the future, and strongly recommend Jeff Dose Photography.”
Michelle E.
“I used to think that photographers were overpriced. Jeff was worth ten times what we paid. He is such a bright light of a human being and he helped make our big day so special. His pictures are amazing. Check out his blog. He was FAST doing pictures after the ceremony and he brought such a professional calming presence. I don’t know what else to say. Hire him! Amazing pictures. Even better person. If I ever need another photographer I wouldn’t hesitate to call Jeff.”
Lars O.
“Jeff was INCREDIBLE to work with! Even through multiple changes with our plan due to COVID, Jeff was always positive and helpful. Our photos are beautiful and our favorite part was that he got to know us and truly wanted to make the photos a memorable part of our day. We are so grateful to have found Jeff, and our family and friends couldn’t stop raving about him.”
Elizabeth G.
“I truly cannot say enough on how wonderful Jeff was to work with. His talents show not only in his pictures, but also his shining personality. He brings this energy that makes you feel confident, and at ease. He’s punctual, communicative, flexible, and takes his time to get to know you, your wedding party and the venue to make sure he can capture what you are looking for. We really couldn’t be happier sharing our day with him! I HIGHLY recommend Jeff Dose.”

Frequently Asked Questions

My style leans more towards a candid approach rather than posed. I’m always happy to jump in and give tips and suggestions when something looks a little off, but to me, the best photos are the ones that look and feel natural.

Typically I bring at least two cameras, a couple flashes, an assortment of lenses, memory cards, way too many batteries, and of course my favorite bags to carry said items.

I do! Travel has always been a huge source of inspiration for me. There are a ton of advantages in taking a local-to-you photographer for your destination wedding, and I’d be happy to chat further details if this is something you’re considering!

I always say 8-12 weeks for weddings, but in truth, it’s usually well before that.

Glorious! I have answers! Send me a message and let’s chat!

Why I Became A Photographer in Minneapolis

The Twin Cities is where I call home. While I love traveling to different cities, photographing in and around Minneapolis just feels like home. Whether it’s the historic St. Anthony bridge and its amazing cityscape views, to the inspiring works of art at Walker Sculpture Garden, or one of the many beautiful local parks… Minneapolis is packed with beauty and I love that I get to photograph other couples in a city that means so much to me! For a creative, this city just doesn’t stop inspiring.

Wedding Day Planning Guide

I thought it would be beneficial if I put together a wedding guide that walks you through everything from timelines to engagement sessions and inclement weather.
