no pressure to perform. no pressure to be someone you're not; just a safe space to be you.

Your wedding day isn't a production, and choosing to have a small celebration is your way of honoring that. 

But the idea of being photographed makes you feel a lil uneasy.
Having to plan an elopement is a stress you're trying to avoid. 
You're afraid of judgment in a world that doesn't celebrate falling outside the "norm."

don't fret! in this space, you're free to be you. You are seen and appreciated as individuals and as a couple. You are loved and celebrated just as you are.

i'M HERE TO HELP throughout the entire process so to feel supported.

I'll also tell you what to do with your hands, of course.


And with that, your day will be documented in a way that feels as good as marrying the love of your life..

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!

Ways to Work Together

elopement infointimate Wedding info

Elopements

Whether it’s just the two of you and an officiant, or 10 of your favorite people in the whole wide world– it’ll be documented in a way that’s true to you.

Micro Weddings

You didn’t want to elope but didn’t want the big celebration either, so you decided to have an intimate gathering (11-65 people) instead. Your images will feel as intimate as your day.

Reception Coverage

You eloped but still wanted to PAR-TAYYYY with your favorite people. Let's boogie (because yes, I will be dancing too)!

Hey, I’m Colleen!

If there's anything I've learned since I began photographing weddings almost 10 years ago, it's that life is short, and at the end of the day, all we have are our memories. Life is also too dang short not to be your weirdest, most whimsical, authentic self.

Your memories are still important no matter how you choose to tie the knot, and you deserve to have them documented by someone who sees and appreciates the big moments, small moments, tender moments, silly moments, and everything in between.

And beyond that, captured by someone who cares about making sure your story is told in a way that's true to you.
