Wedding photography in Baxter, Minnesota

The people you love most. The day you’ll never forget.

Let’s capture your love story.

Authentic and honest

Wedding photography shouldn’t mean stepping away from the celebration or missing the joy in the name of perfect poses.

And it definitely shouldn’t mean recreating special moments because they weren’t captured the first time, or wrapping up the party early because your coverage ran out.

You deserve to be fully present—surrounded by your people, in the moment—and know that it’s all being documented honestly and artfully as it naturally unfolds.

You’re not planning just any wedding. You’re planning your wedding.

Maybe it’s tucked away in a cabin by the lake, or set among the trees at your family’s favorite getaway spot. However it looks, you’re filling the day with meaning—the people, the place, the details that feel just right.

You want wedding photography that honors that same intention:

Capturing emotion, connection, and the people who matter most

Portraits that feel natural, joyful, and genuinely like you

A smooth, thoughtful presence that adds to your day (not takes away from it)

A final gallery that lets you relive every part of your celebration in beautiful detail

Because this isn’t just about pretty pictures. It’s about how it felt to be there.

Yes! That sounds perfect - let’s start planning

Hi, I’m Erin Vestal

About Me

A Baxter wedding photographer (based in Florida) with calm energy, happy enthusiasm, and a big love for telling stories through the little moments and relationships that make your day unique.

My family has vacationed on the Gull Lakes chain for generations, and no other place in the world holds such a special place in my heart. That’s why I travel exclusively to Nisswa for weddings. I reserve my summers for weddings in this region, but couples planning spring or fall weddings are encouraged to reach out to check availability too.

I’m drawn to the in-between glances, the details you chose with care, and the way your favorite people show up to celebrate you.

And if you’re wondering what I love most about this area? It’s the pontoon rides to Zorbaz, biking on the Paul Bunyan trail, and the kind of joy that only the Northwoods can bring.

I believe in intentional planning and relaxed execution—keeping the day smooth and flexible while staying present for the unexpected magic.

I’ll be the one in comfy shoes, chasing the light, soothing the nerves, and making sure your wedding is captured with warmth and heart.
