    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!

    Great photographer, greater person

    I have worked with Colby Campbell an uncountable number of times: He has taken taken every headshot of mine for the past 7 years, photographed the poster for my one-man show, and has photographed several weddings that I have both worked (DJ) and been a part of (wedding party).
    But perhaps most importantly, Colby went indescribably above-and-beyond to photograph my proposal, traveling 867 miles on little sleep in order to hide behind a church organ to capture perhaps the biggest moment in my life thus far.

    His portfolio of work speaks for itself, but what the photos can't quite tell you directly is his Colby's charm and professionalism: His ability to take command of an event in order to capture every moment is unmatched, and he does so in a way that makes any subject behind the camera feel at both ease and full of joy.
    There is not a person on earth I trust more behind a camera than Colby Campbell, and my recommendation for his services cannot be overstated. Hire him! :)

    Colby Campbell Photography's reply:

    WHEW it's my allergies getting to me again! Thank you so much for all these kind words my friend. Would travel 867 miles to hide behind a church organ and take pictures of you proposing every time! (Guessing I won't get to do it more than once though...)

    Simply the Best

    Colby is easy to work with, establishes consistent and deep rapport with clients, and captures the most amazing moments of your most celebrated days. Truly, one of the best people you could ask to work with and the quality of photos is unbelievable!

    Would highly recommend!

    Colby was fantastic! He did our engagement photos and our wedding, and he was so easy to work with. His communication beforehand was super professional and he got us our photos in a timely manner. He was the best! You have to give him a chance! We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

    Fantastic photographer!

    Colby made our Wedding exceptionally special with his photography and presence at our wedding. Very personable, professional, and takes excellent photos! Everyone enjoyed him being there capturing this special day and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great photographer for their wedding or special event.

    Colby Campbell Photography's reply:

    Aww Tony thank you for saying that! I honestly feel like a member of the family after your wedding day - intimate weddings are the best! Give my best to Katie and the baby!

    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!!

    10/10 Experience

    I cannot put into words how perfectly Colby Campbell Photography made our special day. From day one we knew that Colby was going to be amazing to work with and that we had found the photographer to bring our wedding day to life and he did just that! The quality is top-notch and his passion shows through his work. I often go back and look through our photos from our wedding and I am in awe of how every moment was captured so perfectly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a photographer for any type of event as they will bring joy, fun, and help you capture memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you Colby Campbell Photography!

    Chacos instead of heels, home-baked cookies at the reception, mini-golf centerpieces, and handcrafted cards. 100% genuine, authentic Hannah + Ryan at every turn!!! I'll never forget it. Much love, my friend!

    My husband and I really enjoyed working with Colby for our engagement and wedding photos. He was relaxed, timely, professional, and kind! We love and cherish our photos too!

    Colby Campbell Photography's reply:

    Jenna!!! You, Tom, and Pistol will forever be some of my favorites. Thanks for giving me an excuse to visit Minnesota! Take care friend!

    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.

    Colby Campbell Photography's reply:

    Aw, thank you Hannah! One of my favorite memories of you two is when Brent got you a singing valentine and arrived about 30 seconds after it happened. It's been such a joy to witness your love story for so long. Thank you for letting me play a small role in telling it!

    Best photographer in the market

    I was Colby's very first solo wedding 7 years ago and it has been such an honor to spread the word about his work ever since. I'm not even joking when I tell you that I still get messages to this day from newly engaged friends and family asking who my photographer was. (Yes, he is THAT good that people remember from 7 years ago).

    Y'all.... when I say I am continually blown away with Colby's talent, I mean it! His work is by far the very best on the market. My wedding photos are absolutely BEAUTIFUL and will forever be my most treasured items. He took the time to listen to me and understand the moments I was wanting captured the most and he did just that (and more). I lost my dad/superhero a couple of years after I got married, and now I have forever photos of us to remind me how special my day really was. Trust me, Colby is your guy. He will capture all the special moments AND be the bubbly, supportive, hype man you need on your special day.

    I am currently basing my ratings on the amazing job he did for my brother's wedding and setting up my wedding photography. He offers wonderfully priced packages and is a little flexible when it comes to customizing a package to suit needs.

    Colby was great! We were so excited to find someone so professional with such reasonable prices. I asked him to come a little earlier to capture our hair appointments, and he wouldn't even discuss adding costs for that. He even said, "I'm not here to nickel and dime you"
