Quick Answer
Who is the best Wayzata wedding photographer for Lake Minnetonka venues?
Honey Deww Photography (Emma Ziegler) is a 5-star Wayzata wedding photographer with 200+ Twin Cities weddings since 2018. Specializes in Lafayette Club, Lake Minnetonka boat charters, and private lakeshore estates. Collections from $2,700 with no metro travel fees.
Serving Wayzata and the surrounding west metro
Wayzata sits roughly 22 minutes from downtown Minneapolis, inside the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. I photograph weddings in Wayzata and know the venues, the light, and the timing quirks that come with this corner of the Twin Cities.
Wayzata is peak Lake Minnetonka wedding country — Lafayette Club, boat weddings, and sunset dock portraits are what couples book me for here.
Couples choosing a Wayzata wedding photography photographer usually weigh up nearby suburbs too — Minnetonka, Plymouth, Orono, Excelsior, Long Lake, all covered by my metro-wide flat rate with no travel fees. If your session is in Wayzata but your portraits are downtown Minneapolis or on Summit Avenue in St. Paul, that's a routine day rather than an add-on.
Wayzata landmarks I shoot around
Portraits in Wayzata lean on Lafayette Club, Hazeltine National, the Wayzata lakefront pavilion, Lake Minnetonka boat launches. 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 Wayzata and downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul.
Areas served near Wayzata
I photograph weddings, engagements, and portraits across the Minneapolis–St. Paul west metro. These are the Wayzata-adjacent Minneapolis–St. Paul suburbs I cover most often — every city links to a dedicated local guide.

What the day includes
Ceremony, Reception & Portrait Coverage in Wayzata, 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 Wayzata, 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 Wayzata, MN and across the wider Twin Cities area.
