Who is your Eden Prairie photographer?
Honey Deww Photography photographs weddings, engagements, couples and family sessions in Eden Prairie, a southwest-metro city inside the 40 miles of included travel from downtown Minneapolis. Portrait sessions start at $300 and wedding collections at $3,100. The city counts 37 parks and more than 1,000 acres of developed park land, so sessions here lean on lakes and trails: Staring Lake Park and its amphitheatre, the 1928 Riley-Jacques Barn farmstead at Riley Lake Park, and the hills and woodland of Bryant Lake Regional Park. Wedding venues include Green Acres Event Center, a historic barn, and the Bearpath and Olympic Hills golf clubs.

Do you photograph weddings, portraits and families in Eden Prairie?
Yes. Eden Prairie sits in the southwest metro of the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. I photograph weddings, portraits and families in Eden Prairie and plan each day around the venue, the light and the timing that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Eden Prairie's city site counts 37 parks, seven historic sites and 15 conservation areas, so weddings here pair a historic barn and country-club ballrooms with park sites, two of which are rentable only by Eden Prairie residents and businesses.
Clients choosing an Eden Prairie photographer can book the nearby suburbs on the same terms — Minnetonka, Chanhassen, Chaska, Bloomington, Edina, with travel included within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis. If your session is in Eden Prairie 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 Eden Prairie?
Local places to plan a Eden Prairie day around include Green Acres Event Center, Bearpath Golf & Country Club, Staring Lake Park Amphitheatre, Riley-Jacques Barn. 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 Eden Prairie and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
Which cities near Eden Prairie do you cover?
I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul southwest metro. These are the towns next to Eden Prairie, plus Minneapolis and St. Paul; the linked ones have their own local guide.

Local details
What licenses, permits and park rules apply in Eden Prairie?
Eden Prairie is in Hennepin County. Its park buildings are popular for small receptions, but the rules on who can book them and how late the music can run matter more than the price.
- Who can rent an Eden Prairie park building?
- Only Eden Prairie residents for personal use, and Eden Prairie-based businesses and organizations for their own functions. The Riley-Jacques Barn is the one site booked by the hour. Source: City of Eden Prairie park rental FAQ
- How late can a reception in an Eden Prairie park run?
- Guests must be out by 10 p.m., when every park closes, and cleanup must be finished by 10:30. A DJ or band is allowed, but the city asks for a sound check so it stays under 70 decibels at 100 feet, and all music stops at 10. Source: City of Eden Prairie park rental FAQ
- Can you put up a tent or serve alcohol?
- Tents are allowed in designated areas but must be free-standing — they cannot be staked into the ground — and larger ones may need a separate permit. Alcohol is allowed without glass containers, and any caterer serving it must hold a liquor license. Source: City of Eden Prairie park rental FAQ
- How do you get a marriage license for a Eden Prairie wedding?
- Hennepin County issues it. Book an appointment online at a Hennepin County service center (612-348-8240; county line 612-348-3000), or apply remotely by mail to the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 South 6th Street, MC 678-B, Minneapolis, MN 55487. The fee is $125, or $50 with 12 hours of premarital education and the educator's statement, and it is nonrefundable. The county page states no waiting period. The license is valid for six months, for Minnesota ceremonies only, and is issued when you pay. You do not need to live in Minnesota, and you must be at least 18 with proof of age.
