Sunfish Lake Wedding Photographer
Natural, authentic wedding photography for your most meaningful moments
Your Sunfish Lake Wedding Photographer
Sunfish Lake sits 22 minutes out from downtown Minneapolis in the south metro, and that shapes how a wedding day runs here. Sunfish Lake is almost entirely wooded private acreage on rolling moraine, zoned residential with no commercial district, so celebrations here tend to be intimate at-home affairs photographed under old oaks along quiet lanes. When I plan portraits in Sunfish Lake the shortlist usually starts with Sunfish Lake, Harmon Park and Musser Park — 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: $3,100 for 4-hour coverage and scale to all-day, two-photographer Sapphire coverage with a complimentary engagement session. Your Sunfish Lake 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 22 minutes each way. I work across Mendota Heights, West St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights on identical terms, so choosing Sunfish Lake never narrows where the day can travel.

Sunfish Lake Wedding Photography FAQ
How much does a wedding photographer in Sunfish Lake cost?
My wedding collections start at $3,100 for 4 hours (Emerald), $4,200 for 8 hours (Pearl, two photographers), and $5,300 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 Sunfish Lake wedding photographer?
I recommend booking 9–14 months in advance. Peak season in Sunfish Lake (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 Sunfish Lake for weddings?
Yes — there's no travel fee for weddings within the Twin Cities metro including Sunfish Lake: travel within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis is included, and beyond that it is billed at cost, with no markup. I'm based in Minneapolis and also shoot weddings nationally and internationally.
What Sunfish Lake-area wedding venues have you photographed?
Across Sunfish Lake and the Twin Cities I've shot at venues like The Hutton House, Nicollet Island Pavilion, Mill City Museum, Machine Shop Minneapolis, A'BULAE, the Landmark Center, the Saint Paul Hotel, Stillwater estates, Aria before it closed in 2022, and many private estates and backyards near Sunfish Lake.
Do you offer second photographer coverage for Sunfish Lake weddings?
Yes — a second photographer is included in the Pearl, Ruby and Sapphire collections and available as an add-on for the Emerald. 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 Sunfish Lake wedding photos back?
A curated sneak peek within 1–2 weeks of the wedding and the full edited gallery within 6–8 weeks — the published wedding timeline.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ weddings in Sunfish Lake?
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 Sunfish Lake.
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.
