Fantastic Experience!

Having a great photographer was high on our priority list, and we could not have had a better experience than what we got with Colin! We felt very at ease with him from our very first zoom meet and greet/info chat and I knew I would be comfortable having him around the entire day of the wedding. Our engagement shoot was so fun in downtown Chicago, and we figured out a way to include our pup (who quite frankly stole the show) while also getting some incredible pictures along the river. Colin joined us at the final venue walkthrough to get to know the space and we had a scheduled call the week of the wedding to finalize picture locations and schedule for the day. Every detail was covered and it was very reassuring. As for the wedding day, Colin was supposed to be with us for 10 hours but ended up coming early and staying late, consistently calming my nerves about the weather and even made me an espresso because I finished getting ready early.. Our guests loved the photo booth and the group shots we took throughout the evening. The second photographer Jim even followed the groom to Target and snapped some pictures while he bought a new belt since he forgot one while packing. Colin and his team were the absolute best and I’m so happy we chose them for our day!

Downtown Chicago Wedding

Colin Lyons Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding.

Colin was such a pleasure to work with from the beginning, until the end. Starting with our engagement shoot, he really took the time to get to know my husband and I, and even brought our dog a toy for the shoot. He spent 4 hours with us and the pictures turned our AMAZING. Throughout the planning process, Colin was communicative and easy to work with, he also came to our walk through with our planner to make sure we were aligned for the day of the wedding.

The day of the wedding Colin and his team were timely and super easy/fun to work with. He made sure we got all the shots around the riverwalk and made us feel so comfortable on our special day. He was extremely personable, and so many of our guests commented how great he was. He was super efficient and organized when it came to family photos as well, which could have been stressful - not with Colin.

He even helped us get THE SHOT with our dog the day of the wedding. Colin ended up staying well after his "contractual" time, and truly is a gem in the wedding photography world.

Hire Colin Lyons for your wedding and know you're in the BEST hands - THANK YOU COLIN!

Simply the Best!

Hiring Colin to shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made! From our first conversation with him, we knew he was the right person for us. Hilarious, down-to-earth, professional while still being incredibly personable - what more could you want? We were instantly comfortable and couldn't wait to work with him.

Leading up to our wedding, we had multiple conversations to review the shot list, photo locations, and what was most important to us in terms of photography. Colin listened, provided so many helpful ideas and created the perfect schedule for us.

Day-of, Colin and Jim were simply the best. They make everyone feel comfortable and at ease, like we're all just hanging out together at the best party ever. They kept the wedding party on schedule, chatted it up with everyone, and caught every single important moment while somehow blending in to the background. Knowing they were there took away all my anxiety about getting the photos I wanted, and Colin served as a much-needed source of comfort and comic relief throughout the day.

Finally, receiving our pictures was one of the best parts of the post-wedding months. The photos are STUNNING - exactly what we wanted to make the memories last forever. Every time I scroll through them, I can't help but grin from ear to ear. Thank you Colin, for preserving our wedding in the best way possible!

We've worked with both Colin and Elena and could not be happier with our experiences. Both were professional yet fun and the resulting photos were definitely frame-worthy! Highly recommended.
