Crosslake Wedding Photographer
Natural, authentic wedding photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Crosslake Wedding Photographer
Crosslake is roughly 2.7 hours north-west of the metro, out in greater Minnesota, and that shapes how a wedding day runs here. Crosslake weddings revolve around water, the Whitefish Chain's bays, docks and pine shoreline, so timelines usually bend around boat rides, long northern summer dusks, and the short, spectacular window of October color. When I plan portraits in Crosslake the shortlist usually starts with Crosslake Town Square, Crosslake Historic Log Village and Cross Lake Recreation Area — each one reads differently depending on the hour, so the timeline gets built around the light rather than the other way round. Pricing is the same wherever the day happens: $2,700 for 4-hour coverage and scale to all-day, two-photographer Sapphire coverage with a complimentary engagement session. Your Crosslake gallery is edited in full and delivered privately within 6–8 weeks — planning and the timeline are handled before the day, which matters more than usual when the drive from Minneapolis is 160 minutes each way. I work across Pequot Lakes, Breezy Point, Fifty Lakes on identical terms, so choosing Crosslake never narrows where the day can travel.

Crosslake Wedding Photography FAQ
How much does a wedding photographer in Crosslake cost?
My wedding collections start at $2,700 for 4 hours (Emerald), $3,900 for 8 hours (Pearl, two photographers), and $4,600 for 12 hours with a second photographer (Sapphire, includes a complimentary 1-year anniversary session and a highlight film). Every collection includes editorial editing, a private gallery, and full personal usage rights.
When should I book my Crosslake wedding photographer?
I recommend booking 9–14 months in advance. Peak season in Crosslake (June–October Saturdays) fills up first; I typically have 1–2 prime weekends left by the start of each calendar year.
Do you travel to Crosslake for weddings?
Yes — Crosslake is outside the Twin Cities metro, so travel is quoted up front with the collection rather than added later. I'm based in Minneapolis and shoot regularly in greater Minnesota, plus nationally and internationally.
What Crosslake-area wedding venues have you photographed?
Across Crosslake and the Twin Cities I've shot at venues like The Hutton House, Aria Event Center, Nicollet Island Pavilion, Mill City Museum, Machine Shop Minneapolis, A'BULAE, the Landmark Center, the Saint Paul Hotel, Stillwater estates, and many private estates and backyards near Crosslake.
Do you offer second photographer coverage for Crosslake weddings?
Yes — a second photographer is included in the Sapphire collection and available as an add-on for Emerald and Pearl. Two photographers let me cover both partners getting ready, capture reactions you'd otherwise miss, and double the candid coverage of your guests.
How long until we get our Crosslake wedding photos back?
Full edited gallery in 6–8 weeks, with a curated set of sneak peek images delivered within 5–7 days of the wedding — perfect for thank-you cards and announcement posts.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings in Crosslake?
Yes, proudly. Every couple is welcomed and celebrated here. I've photographed many LGBTQ+ weddings across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the broader Twin Cities including Crosslake.
What's your wedding photography style?
Warm, editorial, and true-to-life. Think candid moments + intentional editorial portraits + film-inspired color. No heavy filters, no AI presets, no trendy looks that will date your album in 5 years.
