With October in full swing, Minneapolis-based photographer and videographer Steve Niedorf recently brought us some beautiful eye candy from Canoe Bay, a member of the Relais & Chateaux collection of luxury resorts and restaurants, located on the outskirts of Chetek, Wisconsin.
Steve was on a shoot for Canoe Bay’s website and library and gave us an inside look at these stunning images that would put anyone in the mood for some fall weather. Enjoy!
“As you make your way out of Chetek, the rolling countryside begins as farm and grazing land but slowly turns more forested and soon you’ll see a small simple sign for Canoe Bay. As you make the turn onto the winding drive you leave central Wisconsin behind and enter into another world.”
“Canoe Bay is a place of gracious hospitality, fine food, excellent accommodations, and most important to me as a photographer, simple and elegant beauty. My most recent shoot was my first autumn assignment for the resort and the photo gods smiled down on us with warm temps, sunny days, and plenty of autumn color.
We had long rewarding days and as always did a full range of shooting for their web site and their library. We typically cover everything from food—they are locavores growing their own herbs and veggies—to interiors, where you see their architects are proponents of the Prairie style.
It was a wonderful experience, professionally and personally, and it actually has me looking forward to winter, as there are plans for a winter assignment!” – Steve Niedorf
