The best!

I can’t say enough good things about Colby! I’ll start with attentive, professional, fun, easy-going, and extremely talented! He did our engagement and wedding photos and they all turned out insanely beautiful! He is great at making you feel comfortable and not so posed and still captures all the candid shots you dream of!

Great photographer, greater person

I have worked with Colby Campbell an uncountable number of times: He has taken taken every headshot of mine for the past 7 years, photographed the poster for my one-man show, and has photographed several weddings that I have both worked (DJ) and been a part of (wedding party).
But perhaps most importantly, Colby went indescribably above-and-beyond to photograph my proposal, traveling 867 miles on little sleep in order to hide behind a church organ to capture perhaps the biggest moment in my life thus far.

His portfolio of work speaks for itself, but what the photos can't quite tell you directly is his Colby's charm and professionalism: His ability to take command of an event in order to capture every moment is unmatched, and he does so in a way that makes any subject behind the camera feel at both ease and full of joy.
There is not a person on earth I trust more behind a camera than Colby Campbell, and my recommendation for his services cannot be overstated. Hire him! :)

Absolutely Amazing!

Colby is absolutely amazing! We walked into our engagement photoshoot completely blind. We didn't know what to expect, what to do, how to prepare, even how to dress! He helped us from beginning to end, made it happen on such short notice, and we couldn't be happier with our pictures. His creativity and experience helped us feel instantly at ease and he was so fantastic to work with. I would absolutely recommend him for any family, engagement, wedding or event!

Hey! I'm Colby, and I've been photographing weddings for nearly ten years. If we were to grab a beer or a coffee, I'd ask you how you like to spend your time, what people in your life mean the most to you, what are your core memories, and what adventures do you see in your future, and all about your love languages. I'd share with you how my master's and career in education plays into helping my clients have a stress-free wedding day, how my years as a collegiate mascot help me to hype you up, how my love for making music makes your vendor team hum like a well-oiled machine, and how my unique approach to portraiture creates such energetic pictures.

I would LOVE to connect with you. Reach out here or through my website and let's get the ball rolling together!
