Welcome to Minnish Wedding Photography

Your wedding day is more than a moment. It’s the beginning of a chapter you’ll treasure forever. Your love story deserves a backdrop as beautiful as the Triangle. From the charm of downtown Raleigh to the romantic gardens of Durham and the timeless streets of Chapel Hill, we document weddings that reflect both your story and the spirit of North Carolina. We’re here to capture it all—the quiet glances, the tearful vows, the unrestrained joy—so that when you look back, you don’t just remember how it looked, you feel how it felt. Whether you’re saying “I do” in the mountains, on the beach, under a canopy of oaks, celebrating in a historic venue, or dancing the night away in the city lights, we’ll be there to document every laugh, tear, and joyful detail.

Raleigh photographers documenting weddings in the Triangle and beyond

“From the moment we met Jeffery and Christina, we knew they should be the ones to capture our special day. . . . Jeffery and Christina were so kind, down to earth, and fair. On the big day, it was so incredibly hot and humid, but they didn’t complain and managed to make us look great, even though we had sweat pouring off of us from everywhere!! We will always treasure the beautiful pictures they created. They have a gift for capturing those special moments, when you don’t even realize you’re being photographed. We will definitely ask them to come back to capture other important life events for us.”

— Rosalie, Bride
