Minnesota Photography Services

Where in Minnesota do you photograph?

Anywhere in the state, from Split Rock Lighthouse on the North Shore to the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis and lake weddings in the Brainerd Lakes. The style is the same everywhere — real moments, guided portrait blocks, and a plan for January or July weather. Travel is included within 40 miles of downtown Minneapolis; beyond that it is billed at cost with no markup and quoted before you book.

Honey Deww Photography was founded by Emma Ziegler in 2018, and the studio has since photographed 200+ weddings and 500+ sessions, all since 2018. We are booking 2026–2028; reach us at (651) 829-5756 or honeydewwphotography@gmail.com.

How much do Minnesota wedding collections cost?

Four collections, each with a 1-hour engagement session, timeline assistance and a private online gallery:

  • Emerald, $3,100: 4 hours, one photographer, 75 photos per hour.
  • Pearl, $4,200: 8 hours, two photographers, 75 photos per hour, content creation.
  • Ruby, $4,800: 10 hours, two photographers, 75 photos per hour, content creation.
  • Sapphire, $5,300: 12 hours, two photographers, 100 photos per hour, content creation, a 1-year anniversary session, 10% off future sessions and a highlight video.

A curated sneak peek arrives within 1–2 weeks and the full gallery within 6–8 weeks. A 25% retainer holds the date, the balance is split into interest-free monthly payments, and the final payment is due two weeks before the wedding. Most couples book six to twelve months ahead, and prime May–October Saturdays often fill a year out.

Compare every collection on the wedding photography page or the Minnesota wedding pricing guide, and for Twin Cities weddings see the Minneapolis wedding photographer homepage.

How much do portrait sessions cost in Minnesota?

Portrait, couples and family sessions are $300 for 30 minutes or $500 for an hour. Every edited image is included, with a 48-hour sneak peek and the gallery within 2–4 weeks; book 2–4 weeks ahead. Engagement, maternity and boudoir sessions are $450 each, and hair and makeup is $150. Couples boudoir is priced on request.
