Serving Forest Lake and the surrounding north metro
Forest Lake sits roughly 35 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Forest Lake and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Forest Lake gives north-metro couples a lakefront reception with full country-club service — an unusual combination inside the metro belt.
Clients choosing a Forest Lake photography photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Hugo, Lino Lakes, Wyoming, Columbus, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Forest Lake but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Forest Lake landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Forest Lake lean on Castlewood Country Club, Forest Hills Golf Club, Lakeside Memorial Park, Forest Lake shoreline. 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 Forest Lake and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
