Frequent questions about Photography for Silverwood Park weddings:
Is Silverwood Park good for large weddings?
Silverwood seems the most comfortable with weddings under 100 people, but it can accommodate slightly more.
What is the light like at Silverwood Park?
Silverwood Park in the summer is a Minnesota dream – large trees with just enough cover to allow in some dappled light and still provide shade. Inside the reception hall can be much darker, particularly after sunset, and so photography of later reception events is greatly enhanced with a plan for lighting.

Yes, I have photographed many weddings at Silverwood Park over the years. Even in winter time it has many natural beauties to share with guests! If you are planning a Silverwood Park wedding, get in touch!
