Photographer to Know: Collin Hughes

Looking for an up-and-coming photographer to capture your wedding day? Keep your eye on Collin Hughes. Instead of forced smiles and unnatural poses, there's an elegant ease to Collin's work. Take Sam and Nastassia's engagement photos, shot near Wayzata, featured below. Makes you want to hold hands with your honey and frolic in the woods, no? (See more of Sam and Nastassia's shoot here.)

Plus, props to Collin for cultivating a photography business all while spending late nights and early mornings in an architecture studio as he earns his degree from the University of Minnesota. Considering the quality of his work, it seems to be worth it. My advice? Book him now.
