Jim was wonderful! He was very responsive, very thorough, and made sure we all felt comfortable. He also made sure he got our picture proofs to be before he left for an out of country wedding he was photographing! He allowed me to swap our "complimentary engagement photos" for my bridal photos instead which was very helpful. He was truly wonderful to work with! I highly encourage everyone to consider using Jim's services for any photography needs!!

Jim is so fantastic!! We loved working with him from the moment we met. He was very responsive, flexible, and just a pleasure to work with. Wedding planning can be difficult and having vendors who are nice and easy to work with is so awesome! Jim took the time to customize a photo package to fit our needs and budget. And he had the pictures up and ready for our viewing within a few days following our wedding day! He did a beautiful job of capturing our wedding and we love every photo. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone needing photography services! He’s the best!

Jim was fantastic. 5 stars is not enough! He truly has an artist's eye, and captures truly amazing moments of our wedding. His pictures showed the unique and quirky personalities of my husband and I, as well as our friends and family. He was very accommodating to unique requests, and had a lot of advice to offer when needed. Jim gives you the option of adding an assistant who is equally talented, and brings his own lighting options to enhance his work and accommodate any venue.. His photographs from our wedding are works of art, and I am honored to have been in them. Jim will give you complete access to all photos that he takes by way of high resolution photos on a flash drive. You are free to use the photos however you please.

It was a pleasure to work with Jim as my daughter's wedding photographer. She chose Jim because she loved his style and I feel her choice was excellent. Jim was very easy to work with and his pictures were amazing. It was lightly raining that day and he was still able to capture some pretty outdoor shots. I highly recommend Jim to photograph your special event!

Ben and I were engaged for almost a year before we finally found Jim. This was definitely not an impulsive pick, we thought long and hard about other photographers in the area but Jim blew all of them out of the water with his professionalism and genuine character. He is very personable and easy going. Being in front of a camera isn't easy for everyone, but Jim makes it so fun and easy to do. He gets you to smile and laugh in the most natural manner, we seriously couldn't have picked a better photographer for our wedding. He is FIVE stars all the way around for us. The best money we spent on our wedding, for sure. Better book him now, I'm sending friends left and right :)

On top of his talent, he got our pictures back to us two days after our wedding!!!!!!!!

Thank you Jim, for your hard work to make our wedding pictures the best.

I first met Jim Colman almost 5 years ago as he was the photographer for my best friend’s wedding. Their pictures were incredible and were filled with candid shots that I knew I wanted to work with him whenever I did get married.

I reached out to Jim soon after I got engaged. My only concern is that my friend’s wedding was 42 people versus mine which was a large wedding of over 360 people and filled with indian traditions. After going through all details, expectations, and the rough agenda...we were set. Jim also brought on another photographer, Christobal Perez, to work with him that day as it was such a large gathering. They had a great rapport and the helped us stick to the busy agenda.

We worked with Jim prior to the wedding day to go through the day and all the must have photo shots. We had photography for the rehearsal dinner, getting ready pics, family shots, first look, baarat, ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and dessert (viennese) spread. So many guests mentioned how hard my photographers worked and that they literally were running around all day to make sure we had everything we wanted captured. Between Jim and his partner, they shot over 8,000 pictures. In just one week, he sorted through the entire cache of photos and sent us a link to all the edited photos (approximately 3,000). A short time thereafter, he mailed a personalized box containing three thumb drives: one for the rehearsal dinner; one for the ceremony; and one for the reception. The pictures came out beautiful and captured all the little touches for the day in a candid way. The pictures speak to the energy that was there for our fairy tale wedding. You will not be disappointed with the professionalism, quality, and timeliness with Jim Colman photography.

I couldn't have been more pleased with the service and quality that my husband and I received from Jim Coleman. He was extremely flexible with our busy schedules, while planning our engagement pictures and was quick getting them back to us. He was extremely easy to talk to and keep in touch with, he made this process so enjoyable and easy! He was always on time and reliable. His knowledge for photography and his eye for an amazing photo opportunity is what sold us to use him. We couldn't have been more please with our decision! Our engagement and wedding photos were beautiful! We are still in love with them almost a year later! Above anything else Jim made us feel at ease, he was friendly and funny and we felt as though we were working with a friend not a stranger!

I would highly recommend Jim Coleman for your wedding, or any event where you want to capture the memory. One of the reasons we chose Jim was because he had a background in photojournalism. His photos were dynamic and really told the story of our day (as opposed to many photographers whose pictures were bland and staged). Jim, as a person, was truly a joy to work with. Many photographers tend to be overbearing and insist on their vision - but Jim was open-minded and thoughtful about venues/positioning. He had great ideas for our shoots, but also let us explore our own ideas. Our pictures turned out beautiful, and was well worth the price!

We looked through dozens of photographer cards from bridal shows, but it was Jim's work that stole our breath away. With an eye for lighting, color, and great framing, he puts together not just an image but a story. Needless to say, our wedding pictures came out fantastic. We didn't get a videographer, so having great pictures was extra important to us--Jim came through for us! He really captured the joy of the wedding, and our quirky spirit, while catching elegant and classy shots that will look great on our mantle. Heck, they wouldn't look out of place in a bridal magazine! He's also a joy to work with, being very congenial and professional. Even our shy toddler of a flower girl liked him (and she's not sure about anyone but her parents and grandma!). Great artist, who has caught great memories, and a pleasure to work with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've had the pleasure to meet Jim on a couple of occasions and worked a wedding with him. The quality of his work speaks loud and clear, but what isn't necessarily obvious from just looking at the images is how kind, friendly, and easy-going Jim is. I'm proud to call him a friend, and you'll be proud to call him "our wedding photographer" :)

Jim is a consummate professional with a great eye for the unexpected, the touching and the beautiful. I have worked with him many times at weddings and always enjoy watching him work. His photos are wonderful.
