Lafayette Club Wedding Film | Minnetonka Beach, MN | Nicki + Keith
Minnetonka Beach Wedding Videographer in Minnesota
Nicki and Keith’s wedding at the Lafayette Club was a masterclass in "modern heritage" design. The day began with an intentional touch of hospitality, as guests were greeted with champagne upon arrival, setting a refined but welcoming tone for the black-tie celebration on the shores of Lake Minnetonka.
As filmmakers, our goal was to be predictably inconspicuous, acting as professional observers rather than directors. By remaining present yet out of the way, we were able to capture the authentic energy and emotion unique to Nicki and Keith’s day—from the quiet shared moments to the high-energy celebration that followed.

FULL STORY
The Lafayette Club provided a timeless backdrop for a day that moved with a natural, unhurried pace. While the design was meticulously planned, the true weight of the day was found in the substance of the moments shared between Nicki, Keith, and their families.
The emotional anchor of the evening was a toast delivered by Nicki’s sister. Using nautical metaphors perfectly suited to the lake setting, she described their five-year journey through both "glassy mornings" and "choppy waters." She encouraged them to be each other’s rudder and centerboard—propelling one another forward while staying balanced. These "perfectly imperfect" and unexpected moments are what made the day specifically for Nicki and Keith. We worked hard to record the day as it happened, packaging it for quick smiles and invaluable reminders for generations to come.
