North Georgia Based Elopement Photographer

intentional images for your unique, intentional elopement day

...and now you're planning an elopement! Whether that looks like a courthouse ceremony, saying your vows on top of a mountain, or a curated day celebrating with your closest friends and family, you've decided to stay true to yourselves and celebrate in a way that's different and unique. That's brave!

You may be shifting away from tradition, but it's still your dang wedding day. A purposeful commitment to forever with one another. The day should feel big. It should feel exciting. 








you've decided to step outside the norm...

IT SHOULD FEEL LIKE YOU

You deserve to be able to look back on the day as it was through images captured intentionally to reflect your love for one another. That's where I come in! But it begins far before your elopement day. You'll be supported throughout a curated planning process so that both your day AND your photos feel fun, easy, and comfortable.

As the elopement world has shifted, so has the idea that it has to take place in the expansive wilderness, on top of the highest peak of a mountain. 

If that's your vibe, HECK yeah, BUT, if it's not, you have plenty of other options...

Not only have I been photographing weddings and elopements for almost 9 years, but I also planned an entire destination intimate wedding for my husband and I...during the pandemic. 

We had 20-something of our closest friends and family around us as we said our vows in one of beautiful historic Savannah squares. It was perfect and everything we wanted it to be.

Capturing similar love stories is such a joy, and the experience you have throughout the entire process is just  important as your love for one another. Let's do this thaaaaang!

Hey, I'm Colleen!

hey lovely!!

After speaking to her and experiencing her warm, joyful presence, we were sold. Colleen is a professional in every sense of the word, and such fun to work with. Even though my husband doesn't speak English, she was patient and worked with him to the point he felt like a model when we finished!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Support and Guidance: From the moment you book me to photograph your wedding or elopement, you can expect to feel supported throughout the process. If you have questions, I'm here to answer. If you need some hype, I'm happy to provide it. If you're stressed on wedding day, I'll dance it out with you. You'll also receive and engagement session guide and a wedding guide full of info!

Fun: Life's too short not to have a DANG good time while being photographed. You can absolutely expect really corny jokes, singing my thoughts, giggles, and dancing. Lots of dancing. Even if there's not music playing. 

Intentionality: No two love stories or wedding days are the same. You can expect me to show up with all the unique details you've shared with me in mind so your day is captured in a way that's truly authentic to you.

The McBrides

Where do I begin? What started as a happy accident, turned into the best decision we could have made. Through two date changes, a pandemic, and crazy life events, Colleen stuck with us and we finally made it to our wedding day. We clicked from the start and talked like old friends. She’s so down to earth, funny, but absolutely professional. Everyone loved her. And then the pictures… they could not be more gorgeous. We were truly blown away by how perfectly she captured our day.

They truly are a work of art in my opinion. Along with the photos coming out absolutely stunning, Colleen has the best energy! She is friendly, personable, and all around a joy to work with
