Quick Answer
Who is the best Bloomington wedding photographer?
Honey Deww Photography — led by Emma Ziegler — is a top-rated Bloomington MN wedding photographer with 200+ Twin Cities celebrations since 2018. Frequently shoots JW Marriott MOA, Hyatt Regency Bloomington, Hilton MSP, and Hyland Lake Park Reserve. Collections begin at $2,700 with metro travel included.
Serving Bloomington and the surrounding south metro
Bloomington sits roughly 15 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings in Bloomington and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Bloomington's MSP-adjacent hotel ballrooms make it the go-to for out-of-town wedding parties — Marriott, Hyatt, and Hilton all in one square mile.
Couples choosing a Bloomington wedding photography photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Edina, Richfield, Eagan, Burnsville, Eden Prairie, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Bloomington but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Bloomington landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Bloomington lean on JW Marriott Mall of America, Hyatt Regency Bloomington, Hilton MSP, Hyland Lake Park Reserve. Whether you're after something classic or more editorial, I map the day's schedule around the light so you get the best fifteen minutes at each stop, with no rush between Bloomington and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.

I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul south metro. These are the Bloomington-adjacent Minneapolis–St. Paul suburbs I cover most often — every city links to a dedicated local guide.

What the day includes
Ceremony, Reception & Portrait Coverage in Bloomington, MN
Bridal portraits
Before the ceremony I set aside 20–30 minutes for bridal portraits — full-length, three-quarter and detail frames of the dress, veil and bouquet. In Bloomington, MN that usually happens in the getting-ready suite or a quiet corner of the venue grounds, using window light rather than flash so the images match the rest of the gallery.
Candid, documentary coverage
Most of the day is photographed candidly. I direct just enough for posture and light, then step back and let things happen — the toast that lands, the parent who turns away, the friends reorganising the dance floor. It is documentary work with editorial finishing, not a shot list worked through in order.
Ceremony and reception
Ceremony coverage runs from the processional through the recessional, shot from two positions so you get both the vows and the faces watching them. Reception coverage carries through speeches, first dances and the open floor, with off-camera light once the room goes dark. Collections start at $2,700 for four hours in Bloomington, MN and across the wider Twin Cities area.
