Quick Answer
Who is the best Faribault, MN wedding photographer?
Honey Deww Photography, led by Emma Ziegler, photographs weddings in Faribault, Minnesota, from a restored downtown building on Central Avenue to barn and orchard venues in the countryside. Collections run from $3,100 (4 hours, one photographer) to $5,300 (12 hours, two), an engagement session is included, and travel beyond the 40 miles included from downtown Minneapolis is billed at cost with no markup.
What is it like to plan a wedding photographed in Faribault?
Faribault is the Rice County seat, about 47 miles straight-line south of downtown Minneapolis. Its Central Avenue downtown is a historic commercial block.
The three venues here give very different days. The 3 Ten Event Venue is a restored 1895 building on Central Avenue North with a ballroom and a rooftop loft. The Barn at Crockers Creek is a barn in Derham Valley with a creek, lakes and gardens on the grounds. The Blossom at Apple Creek Orchard is a family-run apple orchard with a ceremony gazebo. That makes Faribault a town where a downtown brick-and-tin ballroom and a countryside orchard are both realistic.
Faribault is beyond the 40 miles of included travel from downtown Minneapolis, so travel is billed at cost with no markup. Your licence comes from Rice County at the Recorder's Office in Faribault.
