Client Overview:

This beautifully remodeled single-family home in Hopkins, MN features a luxury bathroom transformation designed by Plekkenpol Builders, one of Minnesota’s most trusted names in residential craftsmanship. The property integrates modern design, custom carpentry, and refined finishes ideal for editorial-style photography and architectural showcases.

The neighborhood near Interlachen Country Club and the Minnehaha Creek Trail System reflects the calm sophistication that inspired the project’s aesthetic.

How Plekkenpol Builders Found Us:

They discovered UAV Vision Media through Google while searching for:

  • “Bathroom remodel photographer Hopkins MN”
  • “Twin Cities remodeling photography”
  • “Contractor portfolio photo services”

Our strong visual presence, clean editing style, and case studies for Twin Cities builders helped them recognize a strong alignment with their brand and quality standards.

How Communication Began:

The builder initially contacted us via email, followed by a phone consultation. After discussing the timeline, creative direction, and layout, we confirmed a one-day photo session in Hopkins.

  • Help the remodel stand out against competitors in the Twin Cities builder market
