Quick Answer

Who is the best Chanhassen wedding photographer?

Emma Ziegler of Honey Deww Photography is a five-star Chanhassen wedding photographer with 200+ Twin Cities weddings documented since 2018. Regular venues include Hazeltine National, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, and Chart House. Packages start at $3,100 and metro travel is included.

Do you photograph weddings in Chanhassen?

Yes. Chanhassen sits roughly 25 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings in Chanhassen and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.

Chanhassen is the metro's arboretum-and-country-club sweet spot — Hazeltine and the Landscape Arboretum are 5 minutes apart.

Couples choosing a Chanhassen wedding photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Chaska, Eden Prairie, Shorewood, Victoria, Minnetonka, with travel included within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis. If your session is in Chanhassen but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.

Where do you take portraits in Chanhassen?

Portraits in Chanhassen lean on Hazeltine National, Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Chanhassen Dinner Theatres, Chart House. 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 Chanhassen and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.

Which cities near Chanhassen do you cover?

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

Also serving the wider Twin Cities metro — view all Minneapolis–St. Paul locations.
