Serving Wayzata and the surrounding west metro
Wayzata sits in the west metro — roughly 22 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings across Wayzata weekly and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks unique to this corner of the Twin Cities.
Wayzata is peak Lake Minnetonka wedding country — Lafayette Club, boat weddings, and sunset dock portraits are what couples book me for here.
Couples choosing a Wayzata wedding photographer usually also compare nearby suburbs — I regularly shoot in Minnetonka, Plymouth, Orono, Excelsior, Long Lake, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your ceremony is in Wayzata but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day for me, not an add-on.
Wayzata landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Wayzata lean on Lafayette Club, Hazeltine National, the Wayzata lakefront pavilion, Lake Minnetonka boat launches. Whether you're aiming for a classic west metro country-club look or something more editorial, I map out the day's schedule so you get the best 15 minutes of light at each stop — no rushing between Wayzata and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
