Do you photograph weddings in Dellwood?
Yes. Dellwood sits roughly 25 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings in Dellwood and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Dellwood is a tiny, historic lakeshore city on the north end of White Bear Lake — the country club, the lake frontage and the old estate architecture make it one of the most elegant small venues markets in the metro.
Couples choosing a Dellwood wedding photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Vadnais Heights, Stillwater, Hugo, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Dellwood but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Where do you take portraits in Dellwood?
Portraits in Dellwood lean on Dellwood Country Club, the White Bear Lake north shore, Dellwood Hills, Pine Tree Apple Orchard (nearby). Whether you're after something classic or more editorial, I map the day's schedule around the light so you get the best fifteen minutes at each stop, with no rush between Dellwood and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
Which cities near Dellwood do you cover?
I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul north metro. These are the Dellwood-adjacent Minneapolis–St. Paul suburbs I cover most often — every city links to a dedicated local guide.

What the day includes
What does wedding photography coverage include in Dellwood, MN?
Every Dellwood collection covers three parts of the day: bridal portraits before the ceremony, candid documentary coverage throughout, and the ceremony and reception into the evening. Collections start at $3,100 for four hours.
- Bridal portraits: 20–30 minutes before the ceremony, by window light, in the getting-ready suite or on the venue grounds.
- Candid, documentary coverage: most of the day, directed only for posture and light.
- Ceremony and reception: processional to recessional from two positions, then speeches, first dances and the open floor.
How each part is photographed is explained in my wedding photography style, and it is the same in Dellwood, MN as anywhere in the Twin Cities area.
Local details
What licences, permits and park rules apply in Dellwood?
Dellwood is a small lakeside city on White Bear Lake in Washington County with no city parks, so weddings here happen on private estates and at the club, and two city rules shape the evening.
- Can the music at a Dellwood backyard wedding run past 10 p.m.?
- Not by default: sound instruments are prohibited from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. in residential areas. The property owner can apply to extend music to midnight; the City Clerk mails notice to every resident within 350 feet, who have 10 days to object. Source: City of Dellwood code, noise ordinance
- Can you have fireworks at a Dellwood wedding?
- Only with a city permit, which costs $200 in 2026. A display must fall between 10 a.m. and 11 p.m., may not run longer than 30 minutes, and cannot be held indoors. Source: City of Dellwood 2026 fee schedule

What is it like to photograph a wedding in Dellwood?
Dellwood has fewer than a thousand residents and one of the prettiest wedding settings in the Twin Cities: a historic country club overlooking the north shore of White Bear Lake, surrounded by century-old lake estates and mature hardwoods. Weddings here are usually club weddings — ceremony on the lawn or terrace, cocktails overlooking the water, dinner inside.
The whole day at Dellwood Country Club is built around the western exposure over the lake, so I plan the portrait window backwards from sunset rather than from the dinner service. Fifteen minutes on the terrace at the right moment produces the images couples actually print. If weather moves in, the clubhouse interiors hold enough window light that we're not stuck — I scout the indoor backup during the getting-ready hours of every Dellwood wedding I shoot.

Dellwood Country Club is the primary venue, with Dellwood Hills Golf Club, private lakeshore estates, and the White Bear Lake north shore for portraits. Mahtomedi and White Bear Lake venues are five minutes away.
Do you charge travel fees to Dellwood?
No. Dellwood is about 25 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and inside my standard included metro coverage.

Have you photographed at Dellwood Country Club?
Yes. The terrace and lawn face west over White Bear Lake, so I time the couple's portraits to the last 45 minutes of light there rather than immediately after the ceremony.

Yes — the clubhouse has good window light and I scout an indoor portrait setup during getting-ready at every Dellwood wedding, so a weather change never costs you the photos.
