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!

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!

Fun, kind, supportive, and quality photographer!

Colby Campbell Photography was a joy to work with throughout the entire process of booking a wedding photographer. From engagement photos to planning for the wedding to the end results, it was such a smooth process! We absolutely love our photos and are excited to cherish them for a lifetime. Colby is also very warm, accepting, easy to get along with, supportive during wedding day tears (writing from my bride perspective!), and down to let you do the goofiest of photos while also capturing pure romance. 15/10 would recommend!!

We love Colby!

Colby is awesome! He is fun and easy to work with. He has creative ideas for photos and uses our ideas as well. Our engagement photos in the snow were perfect because of him, and the photos of our first dance are fantastic. He has an eye for catching candid love and joy, and he makes everyone feel comfortable in posed shots as well. He also has a knack for organizing big group photos, which is no small feat.
