Whitefish Lodge Wedding Photographer

Minnesota. Whitefish Lodge & Suites is in Crosslake, about 25 miles north of Brainerd and two blocks from the Whitefish Chain of Lakes. It is a different venue from The Lodge at Whitefish Lake in Whitefish, Montana. This page covers the Crosslake, Minnesota venue.

Get in touch once you have a date or a short list of dates, so I can check availability alongside your venue plans. You can also ask about a closer date; availability depends on the calendar.

Yes. The two stone fireplaces provide a textured background for editorial portraits and photographs during the reception. I choose the angle and lighting around your room setup, so portraits fit into the day without disrupting your guests.

Documentary coverage follows the day as it happens: getting ready, the ceremony and conversations around the reception. For editorial portraits, I give clear direction and use the lodge interiors or grounds to build a frame. You receive both the unscripted moments and portraits we make together.

You do not need to know how to stand or what to do with your hands. I explain each portrait as we go and keep the direction simple. We can use a quiet spot near the lodge or the fireplaces, then get you back to your guests.

The lodge has 54 cabin-themed rooms; the number of overnight guests depends on room occupancy and your reserved block.

Fall brings color to the trees around Crosslake, while the stone fireplaces and wood interiors give winter photographs a different setting. Summer offers time outside on the lodge grounds. The lodge is two blocks from the Whitefish Chain; dock or shoreline photographs need a separate location, confirmed access and travel time in the schedule.
