Colleen captures just the right moments and expressions. Very fashionable posing and angles - just a wow of a photographer.

Book Colleen she is the BEST! She is so talented and captures every moment. You can be sure your photos will be amazing. She is easy to work with and very professional. I loved that we talked ideas through and planned our day.

Choosing a photographer is such a huge decision for your wedding day - this person is truly a part of everything you are doing and experiencing - every emotion, interaction - and capturing it for you to enjoy and reflect on for years to come. Colleen is that person that you want and need on that day, and in those moments. She draws something out of you and everyone there that I can't quite describe - you and the day will feel more beautiful, more together, more happy, more wonderful. She has a way with the bride, groom, family and friends that is beyond amazing. You will be the beneficiary of all of her amazing years as a photographer. And above and beyond her technical and professional acumen, she is kind, smart, intentional, so funny, so loving... perfection. You will be beyond happy and satisfied in choosing Colleen Rosenthal as your photographer - I know we are. Thank you, Colleen - we love you.

When looking for a wedding photographer, my then-fiance assured me after looking through the work of many photographers on the Central Coast that there were only a few whose work spoke for itself. After a long first phone call with Colleen, I knew that she was the right fit for me--friendly, assertive, and professional. Every step of the way, she worked with me to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. The wedding day goes by so quickly, and everything is such a whirlwind, but now I can look back to Colleen's amazing pictures from that day and relive it again and again. She made everyone look good--even the slouchers and scowlers (of which I sometimes am one)! In the vein of a Baroque era artist in residence, Colleen ensures that her skill combines with your taste to create a personalized work of art.

Colleen was MAGIC!

Not only a really cool lady but truly MAGIC with the camera. We hired her for a two day affair...an intimate wedding on Friday and then a let loose party on Saturday. From the first call with her...she got it! She was on board and ready for what we wanted. She not only listen to what we were going for she offered up thoughts but not in the boss, rude or condensending way...she offered up ideas and thoughts to help and improve everything about the ceremony and party. She is a PRO and with her input she made everything BETTER. She was a dream with us and got the shots in the short 30 min period she had. She let us be goofy and fun but also helped us to get the money shots that we would never do on our own. She made us laugh. She made our families laugh and she made everyone feel comfortable and happy. Which is what you want to shine through in your photos. We call her Auntie Colleen now and she will forever be apart of our family! Call her...book her...don't hesitate. She is amazing.

Colleen is an amazing photographer! She has such a calming presence about her. We knew we made the right choice when we had her take our engagement photos. We called her the day before wondering if we should cancel because one of us was sick. She let us decide the morning of and wasn’t upset at all when we decided we needed to cancel. She was honest with us and said the pictures wouldn’t look as good. We were able to reschedule for another time and it was perfect! We had so many options for our “Save the Dates”. Colleen was kind enough to invite us over to preview the images and let us have a say in the editing.
Colleen went above and beyond to make sure we felt and looked spectacular on our wedding day! We had several phone and email conversations prior to our wedding day. Colleen even attended our rehearsal so she could check out the lighting and preview possible photo locations. Colleen gave us advice regarding family groupings and meeting locations following the ceremony. This allowed our day to go extremely smoothly since we weren’t wasting time tracking down family members. We expressed our concern regarding a family member normally uncomfortable being photographed. Colleen took this to heart and made this person feel incredibly special throughout the whole day! This same family member raved about Colleen following the wedding, emphasizing how relaxed and comfortable she made her feel.
We were so surprised and thrilled when we received a sneak peek of our wedding photos on our honeymoon! Colleen was thoughtful enough to send us three of her favorites that she had finished editing. Colleen worked very hard editing the rest of the photos and sent them to us earlier than we expected! We cried going through every image, reliving the best day of our lives! Colleen captured all of our emotions and the positive energy of our guests.
We are so grateful Colleen captured priceless moments for us. We will cherish them forever!

Colleen was a dream for us on our wedding day! She was so comfortable to work with, giving us great direction, running all around our wedding venue, but really slipping into the background to capture the atmosphere of the day. The photos were excellent. Just the perfect mix of positioned stills and random snap shots of the crowd having a blast. I really loved the frames of us laughing or smiling while mingling with our guests. She was a pleasure to work with, so easy and yet totally in control of the event. I was so confident in her skills and her photos just proved me right. I would recommend Colleen to anyone who really wants beautiful photos that capture the feeling of the event with all its joy and fun!

I can't stop looking at my wedding pictures!! Colleen did an amazing job of capturing every special moment. My husband and I never took engagement photos so this was the first time we ever experienced taking professional photos together. Colleen made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and it was obvious to see how happy and natural we were with each other. She was one of our only vendors who we felt really wanted to know what we wanted out of the day and that's exactly what we got!

We just received the photos from our daughter's recent wedding and are delighted with each and every one of them! Colleen not only delivered an amazing product, but also brought a true sense of professionalism, artistry and fun to the entire wedding photo experience. We truly appreciated her patient and positive presence and would highly recommend her as a wonderful wedding photographer.

Colleen captured the day just as we remembered it. Beautiful photography.
