You’ve decided to step outside of the norm… & get hitched your way!
*pops biodegradable confetti*
Whether your wedding looks like:
a courthouse ceremony,
saying your vows on top of a mountain,
or an intimate day celebrating with your closest friends and family in your backyard…
…this day is important! It’s EXCITING! it's emotional, it's intentional, And you want need to celebrate & have it documented in a way that feels easy, stress free, and truly reflects your love for one another.
Luckily you found me.
no pressure to perform. no pressure to be someone you're not; just a safe space to be who you are.
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 quiver in your boots.
Trust me, I get it. I do the same thing. Being perceived? Ew.
it's okay and totally normal to feel anxious about being photographed. in front of my camera, 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'll also tell you what to do with your hands, of course.
And with that, being photographed will feel like a breeze.
Ways to Work Together
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)!
“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!
Krista, Georgia bride
choosing Colleen to be our photographer was the best decision we ever made.
She is kind, easy to work with, and really puts her heart into her work
Taylor, Georgia bride
Hey, I’m Colleen!
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.
*woot woot*
We had 20-something of our closest friends and family around us as we said our vows in one of the beautiful historic Savannah squares.
It was perfect and everything we wanted it to be.
Capturing these kinda love stories for other cool humans is such a joy. You may be shifting away from tradition, but it's still your dang wedding day. A purposeful commitment to forever with one another, and I SEE you!
You deserve photos that feel fun, easy, and comfortable–and that deeply honor this day in the best possible way.
That's where I come in! Let's do this thaaaaang!
