Duluth  Wedding Photographer Alan Johnson has been working in photography for over 35 years.

Duluth, MN, wedding photographer Alan Johnson and his wife Linda have been photographing weddings in the Duluth area since 1999. 

We work out of a studio location in the Town of Thomson, MN  "The Gateway to Jay Cooke State Park",  photographing, weddings, grads, children and families.

I have been working in photography for 35 years, with training in classical lighting and portraiture.

In today's market of wedding photography the bride has a vast amount of photographers, styles and prices to choose from.  The current style seems to emphasize available light and  "life style" or "photojournalistic" photography. This style does have a place in a photographers arsenal of knowledge ........ but, on a wedding day, a photographer who limits him/herself to this one style, either through lack of education and or equipment, also limits the bride and groom to the quality of pictures they deserve.  

The wedding day is a day for family, friends celebration and pictures to remember it all by.

I believe taking the time for well lit and well posed group pictures at a time when people are together looking their best (or close to it), is worth the time and effort of the photographer and wedding party.   Leaving this to chance is a chance I would not take. 

On a day when the bride and groom are dressed as formal as they may ever be, limiting yourself to "candids" will also limit yourself to the quality of your pictures. 

I enjoy posing the bride and groom in a free flowing quick style, working to come up with something new for each wedding I photograph.

Always continuing my education, having a second photographer and bringing extra camera and lighting equipment, allows me to be able to photograph any situation that comes up at a wedding.     

Never know when you may need to light a barn.
