Do you photograph weddings in Woodville?

Yes. Woodville sits about 0.8 hours from Minneapolis, out in western Wisconsin. I photograph weddings in Woodville and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with the western Wisconsin area.

Woodville is a small eastern St. Croix County village near Lake Nancy, in the middle of the Baldwin–Spring Valley barn-wedding corridor.

Couples choosing a Woodville wedding photographer usually weigh up neighbouring towns too — Baldwin, Hammond, Spring Valley, Glenwood City, Wilson, and I travel to all of them. Travel beyond the metro is quoted up front, so the number you see when you book is the number you pay.

Where do you take portraits in Woodville?

Portraits in Woodville lean on Lake Nancy, the Woodville village park, eastern St. Croix County farmland, the Eau Galle valley (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 — and with the drive built into the timeline rather than bolted on.

Which cities near Woodville do you cover?

I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the western Wisconsin. These are the Woodville-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 Woodville, WI?

Every Woodville 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 Woodville, WI as anywhere in the western Wisconsin area.

Local details

What licences, permits and park rules apply in Woodville?

Woodville is in St. Croix County, where the licence has a waiting period and expires far sooner than a Minnesota one.

How do you get a marriage licence for a Woodville wedding?
Apply in person at any Wisconsin county clerk's office. St. Croix County charges $100, cash or check only. There is a 3-day waiting period, so apply at least four days and no more than 60 days before the wedding; the licence is valid for 60 days. Source: St. Croix County marriage licence information
Can a Wisconsin licence be used for a ceremony in Minnesota?
No. A Wisconsin licence covers a ceremony performed in Wisconsin only. If the ceremony itself is across the river in Minnesota, you need a Minnesota licence instead. Source: St. Croix County marriage licence information

What is it like to photograph a wedding in Woodville?

Woodville is a village of about 1,300 people sitting between Baldwin and Spring Valley, with Lake Nancy on its edge and farmland in every direction. Weddings here are family-property and barn weddings, often with the ceremony at a local parish and the reception in a hall or on the family land.

Small-town Wisconsin weddings run on a different rhythm than metro weddings — less vendor choreography, more family involvement, and a schedule that flexes. I shoot them documentary-first for exactly that reason: instead of holding everyone to a minute-by-minute timeline, I stay close and catch what's actually happening, then pull the couple away for fifteen focused minutes when the light peaks. Lake Nancy's western shoreline is the best sunset spot in the village.

Which Woodville venues and locations do you photograph?

  • Lake Nancy shoreline
  • Woodville village park
  • Area barn and farmstead venues
  • Local parish churches
  • Community halls
  • Baldwin venues (8 minutes)
  • Spring Valley / Eau Galle area (15 minutes)
  • Private acreage receptions
