Quick Answer
Who is the best Minnetonka wedding photographer?
Honey Deww Photography (Emma Ziegler) is a 5-star Minnetonka wedding photographer with 200+ Twin Cities weddings since 2018. Shoots at Oak Ridge Hotel, Glen Lake Golf, Minnetonka Orchards, and Lake Minnetonka shoreline estates. Collections from $2,700 with no travel fees in the metro.
Serving Minnetonka and the surrounding west metro
Minnetonka sits roughly 20 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings in Minnetonka and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Minnetonka opens the door to Lake Minnetonka — private-estate ceremonies and boat portraits are the signature look here, and I know the lake.
Couples choosing a Minnetonka wedding photography photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Wayzata, Hopkins, Eden Prairie, St. Louis Park, Excelsior, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Minnetonka but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Minnetonka landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Minnetonka lean on Oak Ridge Hotel & Conference Center, Glen Lake Golf, Minnetonka Orchards, Lake Minnetonka estates. 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 Minnetonka and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
Areas served near Minnetonka
I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul west metro. These are the Minnetonka-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.

What the day includes
Ceremony, Reception & Portrait Coverage in Minnetonka, MN
Bridal portraits
Before the ceremony I set aside 20–30 minutes for bridal portraits — full-length, three-quarter and detail frames of the dress, veil and bouquet. In Minnetonka, MN that usually happens in the getting-ready suite or a quiet corner of the venue grounds, using window light rather than flash so the images match the rest of the gallery.
Candid, documentary coverage
Most of the day is photographed candidly. I direct just enough for posture and light, then step back and let things happen — the toast that lands, the parent who turns away, the friends reorganising the dance floor. It is documentary work with editorial finishing, not a shot list worked through in order.
Ceremony and reception
Ceremony coverage runs from the processional through the recessional, shot from two positions so you get both the vows and the faces watching them. Reception coverage carries through speeches, first dances and the open floor, with off-camera light once the room goes dark. Collections start at $2,700 for four hours in Minnetonka, MN and across the wider Twin Cities area.
