Lazo’s picks: wedding photographers in Minneapolis
12 picks · read 2026-10-12We read the website of every Minneapolis wedding photographer listed on Lazo (104 listings, 88 sites reachable) and set aside the ones that are not really in the wedding business: an Eau Claire photographer with a Stillwater pin, brand and headshot studios, a photo booth company, portrait-first studios, and a national multi-service chain. What is left is a shortlist of vendors who say clearly what they do, show their work, and tell you how they work. Verified Lazo vendors come first. Nobody paid to be here, and this is not a ranking: Lazo ranks only on reviews from couples who booked.

Wedding Photographers in Minneapolis: questions couples ask
When is wedding season in Minneapolis?
Peak season in Minneapolis runs June to September. June through September is the main season; winters are severe, so off-season weddings are indoors.
How far ahead should we book a wedding photographer in Minneapolis?
Plan on 9-14 months out for a peak-season Saturday. A wedding photographer can only take one wedding a day, so popular dates go first.
How much does a wedding photographer cost in Minneapolis?
Most couples spend $1,500-$3,500. Lazo does not yet hold verified booking prices for Minneapolis, so treat this as a national range and ask each wedding photographer for their packages.
What time is sunset for an August wedding in Minneapolis?
Around 8:19 PM on August 15, with golden hour from about 7:39 PM. For portraits in that light, a ceremony near 5:34 PM works.
How do we get a marriage license in Minnesota?
Apply with the county (local registrar). The fee is $115 and there is no waiting period. The license is valid for 180 days, and you need 2 witnesses.
