Photographs are some of our most treasured possessions. Weddings, babies, family milestones, special achievements, momentous occasions: we love the opportunity to beautifully capture these memories. Rochester Local is pleased to announce our 2025 Rochester MN Guide to Photographers (view our 2024 Guide to Photographers.) This special guide will provide you with a unique way to reach community members in our area to advertise your photography business.
PLEASE READ: 2025 CHANGES
We have taken client and photographer feedback into consideration and have reformatted our Photographer Guide for 2025. This year, instead of being listed one after the other in order of Guide Listing confirmation and invoice payment, each photographer will submit one image. When clicked, that image will take the user to that specific photographer’s landing page. What is included on your landing page is dependent upon the package you select. The images in each Grid (Full and Featured) will be sorted randomly each calendar day.
This guide will provide a trusted resource to individuals looking for the perfect photographer to fit their needs without having to click and search the internet for their options. Rochester Local is a trusted resource in the SE Minnesota area.
The example below is how the finished Guide to Photographers will appear. Please keep in mind that there are multiple (but not unlimited) listings per package. The guide below is only an example to show you the package examples.
By purchasing a package, you are purchasing a 11-month listing in this resource (October 2025 – August 2026). The guide is set to launch on Monday, October 6th, 2025. The guide will be extensively promoted via all our social media channels and our website and then remain a permanent resource on our site. We also post and boost quarterly to ensure engagement throughout the year.
If you are interested in participating in this special guide, please read through the guide and fill out the form below! We will be in touch with you shortly!
