Quick Answer

Who is the best Hopkins wedding photographer?

Emma Ziegler of Honey Deww Photography is a five-star Hopkins wedding photographer with 200+ Twin Cities weddings documented since 2018. Regular venues include The Hutton House, Meadowbrook Golf Course, and Shady Oak Beach. Packages start at $3,500 and metro travel is included.

Serving Hopkins and the surrounding west metro

Hopkins sits in the west metro — roughly 18 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings across Hopkins weekly and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks unique to this corner of the Twin Cities.

Hopkins is quietly one of my favorite Twin Cities venue markets — the Hutton House alone drives most of the wedding traffic here, and I've shot it dozens of times.

Couples choosing a Hopkins wedding photographer usually also compare nearby suburbs — I regularly shoot in Minnetonka, St. Louis Park, Edina, Eden Prairie, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your ceremony is in Hopkins but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day for me, not an add-on.

Hopkins landmarks I shoot around

Portraits in Hopkins lean on The Hutton House, Meadowbrook Golf Club, Shady Oak Beach, historic Mainstreet Hopkins. Whether you're aiming for a classic west metro country-club look or something more editorial, I map out the day's schedule so you get the best 15 minutes of light at each stop — no rushing between Hopkins and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
