Dunn Bros Coffee Grand Opening Event Brand Photography


As a Minneapolis brand photographer, I love working with businesses that are already part of my daily life. I’ve been going to Dunn Brothers Coffee for years. So photographing the grand opening of two new Minnesota locations felt full circle. I joined Dunn Bros to document the launch of both their Stadium Village location near the U of M and their downtown Gaviidae location.

What It’s Like to Work With Me as Your Brand Photographer

I see my role as both photographer and your quiet creative partner. My approach blends documentary awareness, editorial polish, and a joyful, collaborative presence on every project. With a background in business and a creative eye for storytelling, I understand how these images need to function beyond aesthetics.

I move through the day connecting with people and reading the room. I balance candid documentation with subtle creative direction. The goal is to curate moments that feel natural but have a polished, editorial edge.

For this project, that meant capturing the ribbon cutting, team and customer interactions, and the energy of the space. I also photographed food and beverages, along with clean interior shots for Google My Business. They walked away with a fully licensed gallery of images—ready to use across their website, social media, press, and wherever their brand shows up next.


Why Brand Photography Like This Matters

Great brand photography reflects your people, your product, and your personality—without being overdone. That’s where I come in. I bring a mix of documentary awareness, editorial polish, and a collaborative presence to every brand I work with. Let’s create a licensed brand asset library your team can actually use.
