My husband and I know Colin through mutual friends. Shortly after getting engaged, we ran into him at a birthday party. Being in the early stages of wedding planning, we had not yet booked a photographer and truly had no idea where to begin. Colin offered us an impromptu consultation on the spot. Not only was he so knowledgeable and passionate about his work, he encouraged us to hire who we felt most comfortable with and never once pushed for us to hire him. It was incredibly selfless of him to take time educating us and at that point we knew we didn't have to look any further for our wedding photographer. Throughout the planning process Colin was gracious with all of our questions and so accommodating with our hectic schedules. We had so much fun at our engagement shoot in downtown Buffalo on top of a parking garage. The shoot ended with a trip to one of our favorite bars, Free Street Tavern, where we all enjoyed a glass of wine and a pickle back shot. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. Colin & Jenny were both so kind, calm, and positive on what was expected to be a stressful day. Luckily, there was no stress and everything ran smoothly. I worked with Colin on a shot list before the wedding day so our getting ready photos, first look, portraits, and family photos would be well organized. Colin was great at giving direction and truly made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We also really appreciated how well Colin worked with our other vendors. It felt like one big happy family! One of our favorite parts of our wedding day was our late night McDonald's photo shoot in the lounge area. We had so much fun and Colin was the ultimate hype man. We will never forget that moment! I can honestly say that some of our favorite photos were the preview photos provided to us just a few days after the wedding. When we finally received our full gallery we were so excited to see all of the other amazing photos. As two people who are highly critical of themselves in photos, my husband and I were so pleased with our photos. It's hard to pick a favorite! Based on our experience with Colin, we highly recommend him to anyone in need of a wedding photographer. He really is one of the best!

We cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Colin! Colin photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding. Heading into the engagement shoot, we were both pretty nervous about being in front of the camera. Colin totally put us at ease and made it a really fun experience. He’s also someone we really enjoyed hanging out with! You spend so much time with your wedding photographer so having someone friendly, funny, and professional, like Colin, really adds to the vibe of the wedding day. We think that is what makes Colin such a great photographer and what leads to such authentic photos - he creates an environment where everyone is comfortable and he captures you as you really are. And our photos, engagement and wedding, are amazing!! Colin captured the day exactly as we remember it and we’re so happy to have these memories of such a great day. We 100% made the right choice with Colin and look forward to working with him again!

Colin is amazing! The photos he takes are breathtaking and he is awesome to work with! He is extremely organized and efficient. He answered all of my e-mails the same day and always answered all of my questions! He was available to meet in person to review details before the day of our event which I greatly appreciated! We did engagement photos as well as our wedding photos with him and couldn't be happier with the quality of the photos and our experience working with him! I would highly recommend Colin to anyone looking for a high quality wedding photographer!

From our initial meet to the end of our wedding day, Colin was there every step of the way. His approach was professional, yet very personal at the same time. Colin came out to meet my husband and I to get to know us so that he could envision the photography that showcased who we were. We appreciated his attention to detail in creating our schedule for photos, color palates, and shooting list.

Colin was responsive prior to, during and after our wedding.

He is a true artist, and his finished product surpassed our high expectations. The images captured every moment, detail, and emotion with authenticity, and take us right back to that magical evening. Colin deserves our highest recommendation.

We worked with Colin for our engagement shoot and our wedding. Though I knew Colin from our paths crossing a few times during the beginning of high school, his stellar work on friends' weddings made it an easy choice to book him for our wedding, especially since we were planning ours from a different city. He is communicative and does an excellent job balancing what clients want with what he knows will work best. My husband had never met him prior to our engagement shoot and afterwards couldn't stop raving about how comfortable Colin made us feel when we felt awkward in front of the camera. The moments he captures too don't show that awkwardness since he works to make you focused on each other and having fun. He is reliable, organized, timely, and has a great eye. He fits right into your wedding day to capture the moments without grabbing your attention so you can continue to absorb the day around you. The photos on his blog speak for themselves. We will always highly recommend him!

My husband Josh and I chose Colin as our wedding photographer based on the terrific job he did photographing our friends' wedding. I can't even begin to say how pleasant our experience with Colin was, both for our engagement pictures and for our wedding day. Colin is great at making you feel comfortable, even if being photographed is not your forte. Throughout our wedding day we were able to get so many pictures without feeling rushed, and Colin had great photo ideas of his own as well as being receptive to our ideas. My husband and I are both so grateful that we chose Colin as our photographer and highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a photographer.

Colin was so amazing to work with. Our vision was executed perfectly. His work is timeless and will be with us forever. Such a great way to capture the day. Colin himself was so personable and helpful and knows how to make you feel like the most beautiful person ever which is how you should feel as a bride! And so helpful after the wedding and leading up to it too. I can’t recommend him enough.

I am so happy that I found Colin for our September wedding. He was responsive and professional in all of our email correspondence. He was so understanding when I explained I was planning this wedding from 10+ hours away and worked with me through email and skype. He always responded to my emails within a day or two at most. He offered suggestions about best places to take pictures on my reception site etc. and I knew he wanted our day to be the best possible day. He was right on time the day of my wedding and was so nice to everyone. He never stepped on anyones toes and was not pushy at all when it came to getting the group pictures done. My entire wedding party loved him. And if you're reading this and none of these things matter to you- the evidence is in the pictures! His website boasts his recent weddings and they are all amazing. Pictures he took brought tears to our eyes and helped us relive our favorite day all over again. Would recommend to anyone!

Colin Gordon is worth EVERY PENNY. He was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responded to all of my questions/emails promptly. He made my husband and me feel comfortable during the entire process, from engagement photos to wedding day. Colin was directive when needed but also went unnoticed when capturing candid photos. I couldn’t believe how many beautiful photos were taken without me noticing. I am also extremely happy with Colin’s editing – the photos have a classic yet modern feel. I have zero regrets hiring Colin and would highly recommend him to anyone. I look forward to looking at our wedding album for years to come!

A+ from start to finish! From the prompt communication to the flexibility, creativity, and professionalism, Colin Gordon Photography delivers all you want and then some. Have him capture your most beautiful moments and see for yourself. You won't regret it.
