“Colin did such an amazing job photographing our wedding! His kind and laidback nature helped us just relax and enjoy our day.
We love his style of work, capturing natural and authentic moments. We have so many beautiful photos now that we will cherish forever.
We are so grateful to have met Colin and had him be part of our day. He fit in with our families with ease and everyone really had so much fun! All of our pictures are stunning and we couldn’t have asked for more. So, so happy with all of his hard work. Plus our golden retriever, Bowie, absolutely loved him!”

my photography process.
approach.
My photography is about taking natural, fun and authentic photos, but how do I do this?
Well, I will start with what it does NOT involve. It involves little direction from me as your photographer. For your photos to be natural and authentic, I need you to both feel as if I am not even there. As you have just married, the first thing you'll want to do after the ceremony in your first moments as a married couple is share the experience and take it all in! Give yourselves a chance to absorb what you just did! It's HUGE!
The last thing you need from your photographer is for them to tell you when to kiss, hug, or even make a heart shape with your hands. The only thing I want you to do is to enjoy these first newlywed moments together.
when I say I am a candid wedding photographer...
I mean that I aim to document your day, not direct it.
I notice the small moments that may otherwise be missed, like the emotion captured in the mother of the bride’s tears or the joy in children playing.
The day is about EVERYONE coming together to celebrate, and I am sorry to say, it is NOT just about the couple.
It would be best not to waste your time posing for unnatural, boring photos. If group shots are a must, they should be snappy (pardon the pun).
Images need to tell the story of your day, from the perfect moments of the first kiss to the imperfect moments when Uncle Dave falls on the dance floor!
Does that sound like something you would want from your wedding photographer?
