You may be worried about receiving your wedding photos after patiently waiting for a few weeks and realizing that they look stiff, posed, flat, lifeless…
That’s why I purposefully DON’T arrive at each wedding with a checklist for the same photos you’ve seen a hundred times. I don’t just COPY/PASTE each wedding. Your wedding day is the culmination of so much effort and personalization. It’s my job to capture and encapsulate as much of your joy and experience as possible within the photos you receive.
All this is so that you can have those meaningful moments with your important people and just be in the moment. These photographs are the lasting, steadfast moments of your commitment to each other.
Real Weddings - Memories forever
Of all the decisions made regarding your wedding day investments, by far the longest lasting is the choice of photography. Thus, choosing a photographer who will meet your expectations and exceed your wishes is an important moment.
I am of the opinion that you are not having a wedding for the photos. It’s not the REASON you’re getting married. The photos are an important part of your wedding day and you’ll look at them fondly in the future, remembering how fabulous you looked and how much fun was had. But the REASON behind your wedding is the LOVE you have for each other and the commitment you are making in front of your important people.
I can't imagine anyone better than Colin to document our wedding with breathtakingly beautiful photos!

Engagement Sessions - Get Comfortable
Engagement sessions are a valuable pre-wedding experience for couples for several reasons. Firstly, it allows you to become comfortable in front of the camera and get to know your photographer better, ensuring a smoother and more relaxed photo shoot on your wedding day. Furthermore, engagement sessions result in a beautiful collection of images that can be used for save-the-dates, invitations, or even displayed at your wedding reception. Overall, investing in an engagement session is a wonderful way to capture the joy and excitement of this special time in your lives before the big day arrives.
“Colin did our engagement and wedding photos. Everyone I know has completely loved our photos. Colin is absolutely awesome, works around you and makes sure to follow your vision for your big day. We highly recommend him”
“Colin is a wonderful photographer and was flexible considering all the changes we made with our wedding. We had originally booked him for a larger event, but when the pandemic hit we cancelled with our venue and decided to have an intimate ceremony with just family. Colin was thoughtful, considerate and had such a calming presence. He had fun suggestions for the poses, and the pictures came out stunning.”
