Lino Lakes Wedding Photographer
Natural, authentic wedding photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Lino Lakes Wedding Photographer
Lino Lakes sits 30 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the north metro, and that shapes how a wedding day runs here. Lino Lakes is mostly water and wetland, thirteen lakes threaded by Rice Creek, so it trades dramatic terrain for reflective open horizons, cattail edges and the soft late light that comes off shallow water. When I plan portraits in Lino Lakes the shortlist usually starts with Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park Reserve, Wargo Nature Center and Chomonix Golf Course — 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 Lino Lakes 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 30 minutes each way. I work across Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines on identical terms, so choosing Lino Lakes never narrows where the day can travel.

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.
