Colleen Cahill Studios Is the Best Photographer

I am an event producer, and I use Colleen Cahill Studios, as my exclusive photographer. I produce about 5 big events a year, and I have found Colleen Cahill Studios to be the best "all around" photographer. Her detail to lighting is essential for the best photo results for my clients. Colleen is literally an "expert" in lighting solutions. The venues I utilize for my events have varied lighting challenges for a photographer, but Colleen and her team, have never let me or my client's down with the clarity, creative and clear photos that can be reproduced for several marketing mediums. My events that I produce are varied in demographic and theme, but nothing rattles Colleen's approach to producing a photo package that every one of my client's have raved about. Thank you, to Colleen and her team. I will continue to utilize her for every one of my events and I always recommend her to anyone one who is looking for the best photographer, in all areas.

Beautiful photography and extremely accommodating

Colleen was amazing. She took time to make sure all items we requested were photographed. She also went above and beyond and added additional shops that she knew would be great! All-in-all we are 110% satisfied

My husband and I have always had amazing and memorable sessions with Colleen! We first started getting our pictures taken by Colleen in High School. She then continued on to capture the moment my husband asked to marry me at Timberline Lodge. She has also taken our engagement photos, wedding photos, and most recently got to take pictures of our first baby! It has been so special for us to have someone so special to us share all of our important memories with us, while have such an amazing skill to capture all of the emotions in a single picture! Colleen is so good at getting the perfect picture and she is amazing with her clients. She takes the time to get to know everyone, is patient and willing to get the perfect shot and always takes her clients comfort and preferences into consideration. She cares so much about the work she does and values the moments she gets to help capture with her clients. We will always go to her for our pictures in the future!

The number of images I asked her to take with a mind boggling array of people was over the top, and Colleen not only got them ALL -- she got the shots I could have never know would happen that day. From the tiniest details ( once that I could not remember due to me being IN THE WEDDING, ahaha) to the biggest moments, it was all captured beautifully! She even stayed late and took our wedding dance photos herself! Best customer service ever! The amount of images I received from the wedding was amazing, every bit of it was there for me to look at, she caught all the moments I was not a part of but still happened with all the guests, simply perfect.

Colleen is the best. She far exceeded our expectation in every way. She was able to document every special moment during our wedding. The day goes by so quickly and there are a ton of moments that my wife and I missed, so we are so happy to have Colleen and her team there to photograph them all. We were blown away by the final product that we received from her. On the day of, she was did an amazing job of making sure that we got every shot that we wanted as well as helped wrangle that family and friends, which would be a full time job on its own. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a professional top quality photographer. I am so happy that she was part of our big day and so glad that we will have all of our amazing photographs so we can look back on them over the next 50+ years

This is not the first time I have had the pleasure of working with Colleen and team. She has captured all the big events in my life, from my senior pictures to my wedding. She is not only immensely talented but her creativity and vision is unmatched. Her and her assistant traveled with us to Mexico to photograph our wedding weekend. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. She is effortless to work with and makes you feel very comfortable in front of her camera. I would recommend her to everyone looking for an amazing photographer to capture their most precious moments.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
