Hello — this is Collin Hughes Weddings
A small Twin Cities wedding photography studio that believes the best pictures come from paying attention.
Less posing, more living
Collin Hughes Weddings started with a simple idea: a wedding gallery should feel like the day felt, not like a catalogue shoot that happened to have a wedding in the background.
We’re based in Minneapolis–St. Paul and photograph weddings all over Minnesota, plus a handful of destination weddings each year — most often in England, where green hills and old stone churches make for something special.
On the day you’ll find us moving quietly around the edges, watching for the real stuff. When a little direction helps — a portrait at golden hour, a family photo that needs wrangling — we step in, get it done quickly and kindly, and let you get back to the party.
“You will forget what the centrepieces looked like. You won’t forget how your grandmother cried during the vows.”
Three promises to every couple
Calm presence
Weddings run late, rain happens, cakes lean. We stay relaxed, solve problems quietly and keep the energy warm.
Honest images
Natural colour, true skin tones and real emotion. Edits that will still look right in thirty years.
Real attention
A limited number of weddings each year, so planning calls get answered and galleries arrive on time.
Twin Cities roots, passport ready
Most of our weddings happen within a couple of hours of the Cities — Minneapolis, St. Paul, Stillwater and the St. Croix Valley, Lake Minnetonka, the river towns south toward Red Wing, and up north to Duluth and the lake country.
We also love to travel. Destination weddings, from English country houses to coastal elopements, are planned with the same care as a wedding down the road.
