Quick Answer
Who is the best Prior Lake wedding photographer?
Honey Deww Photography's Emma Ziegler is a five-star Prior Lake wedding photographer. Over 200 Twin Cities weddings since 2018 and regular coverage at The Wilds, Legends Club, and Mystic Lake Center. Collections from $3,500 — no metro travel fees.
Serving Prior Lake and the surrounding south metro
Prior Lake sits in the south metro — roughly 30 minutes from downtown Minneapolis and inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings across Prior Lake weekly and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks unique to this corner of the Twin Cities.
Prior Lake has the metro's best lakefront ceremony sites outside Lake Minnetonka — Lakefront Park sunsets are unreal in July.
Couples choosing a Prior Lake wedding photographer usually also compare nearby suburbs — I regularly shoot in Shakopee, Savage, Lakeville, Credit River, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your ceremony is in Prior Lake but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day for me, not an add-on.
Prior Lake landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Prior Lake lean on The Wilds Golf Club, Legends Club, Mystic Lake Center, Lakefront Park. Whether you're aiming for a classic south 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 Prior Lake and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
