Six years ago, I began photographing weddings. If you would've told me seven years ago this would be my full-time job, I wouldn't believe you. But I can't imagine doing anything else in this chapter of my life, and it brings me immense joy.
When I was in college, I changed my major multiple times and ended up graduating with a BS in Psychology. At the time, I dreamed of being a therapist, but I felt a calling to photography. While I (hopefully) one day still plan to peruse that line of work, my way of helping others now is through photographs and all that comes with the process.
When I say I want to get to know you and your partner, I mean it. Part of that process includes sharing my life experiences as well. You'll 100% hear about my husband, my cats, my family. I'll tell you stories relevant to our experiences together, and ask you about your life. Each and every couple I work with holds a spot in both my heart and my mind, so I make sure to give them pieces of those parts of myself. Don't worry though. I won't give you a piece of my mind in THAT way.
a gal with a big heart + a lot of love to give
I’m Colleen
LET'S CHAT!
It's hard to put into words how photographing weddings makes me feel- joy, happiness, and connected to others simply scratch the surface.
There's something about two people coming together and making the decision to commit the rest of their lives to one another. It's brave and beautiful. And the fact that I get to document that? Unreal!
I love that all love is different and unique. I love that I get to capture that uniqueness. I love that I get to connect with your friends and family members and both witness and capture their emotions throughout the day. I love that I always get to meet new people I would've probably never met otherwise. I love that I get to make other people laugh and laugh with others. I love that I get to dance with everyone on the dance floor.
It's the joy and the happiness and the connection that I get to share with you.

Colleen took our wedding photos, and I am stunned by how incredible they turned out. I never knew just how fully and completely a photograph could capture the energy and spirit of a moment until I saw Colleen's photos from our wedding day. She gave me my wedding day, frozen in time, moment after moment, to cherish forever, and I cannot be more grateful.
INCREDIBLE
