The absolute best!!
Working with Colette was one of the best decisions we made for our March 2025 wedding. From our engagement shoot to the last photo on our wedding night, Colette brought an incredible level of creativity, professionalism, and heart to our pictures of this special time in our lives. Her photos are nothing short of breathtaking. She captured the emotions and energy of our wedding day in a way that feels both timeless and authentic. Her editing style is clean, natural, and not overdone, enhancing the photos without overpowering. I feel like she truly understood the vibe we wanted. My husband and I have never had professional photos done together before working with Colette, but she made us feel comfortable and made the process so much fun. Colette kept our wedding party and family photos moving efficiently so we still had time to enjoy cocktail hour, yet never made us feel rushed. For our couple portraits, she went above and beyond—taking us down to the water, finding beautiful backdrops, and even joining us for a spontaneous champagne pop at a little bar nearby. One especially meaningful part of the day: she carved out time for us to take photos with our dog. Colette is everything you could want in a wedding photographer—talented, professional, kind, and intuitive. Her pricing is more than fair, especially for the quality she delivers. We couldn’t be happier. 10/10 recommend!!!-

Simply the BEST
My husband and I absolutely LOVE and ADORE Colette. We wanted a photographer that could capture documentary style photos but could also direct you to get the best shoot possible. Let me tell you… Colette absolutely delivered. We had some much fun with her during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We have already decided that we will travel to her for all of our photography needs. She is simply an artist and will exceed your expectations.-

Colette is the best
I am (fashionably) late writing this review, however, Colette is FABULOUS. If you want someone that makes you feel super comfortable in front of the camera, is funny, and professional, she's your woman!
As a half of a same sex couple, finding a wedding photographer was honestly kind of scary. We were worried about judgement or someone straight up telling us that they wouldn't photograph our wedding (which seems odd but still happens to same-sex couples). Colette welcomed us with open arms and truly made the experience so wonderful. We have since booked another mini session for our one year anniversary and couldn't be happier!
She really is the best and will be a wonderful selection for your big day! -

Absolutely Amazing
Colette did such a great job on our wedding. The photos were breath taking and it felt like I was able to relive the entire wedding again. She was on time and stuck with our timeline the whole evening. We are so happy that we found her and hired her for our big day! I would recommend Colette to anyone that needs photography.-

Really thankful we found Colette
My husband and I fell in love with Colette’s work after looking through so many photographers for our wedding day. We love that her vibe is classic and natural. She was super easy to get along with and always really responsive throughout the process. My family also commented on how great she was on our wedding day. We are extremely happy that we chose her! -

We love our photos!
Working with Colette was a dream. She is the absolute sweetest person and she really went with the flow when we had multiple hiccups throughout our day that were out of everyone's control. She made sure we got in everything that I wanted and helped take my mind off of the chaos. My pictures that I received were phenomenal. We had a six hour wedding package and we got WAY more photos than I expected. She also sent us a cute little personalized USB with all of our photos in a box. I think they are included in all of her packages. We also has a second photographer added on to our package which was helpful during the getting ready and to get different angles throughout the day. We are really happy with how everything turned out and will definitely recommend Colette to our friends and family. -

Amazing experience!
Just received my gallery and I’m literally crying happy tears. I’m so thankful that I chose Colette for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke, I could tell she is very experienced at photography and shooting weddings. I immediately felt at ease with her. She delivered beyond our expectations and I’m so grateful for her! I will definitely be using her again! -

So happy with our experience!
I was nervous about finding the right wedding photographer because I knew that it would be one of the most important aspects of our day. As soon as I talked to Colette on the phone I just felt like she was the right one for us. She was so down to earth and put us at ease with all of our concerns. We had an engagement session included in our package and I’m so glad we did because we got the chance to know Colette in a relaxed and fun environment. On our wedding day she was like the glue holding everything together through the chaos. We didn’t have a wedding planner and Colette really stepped up with helping keep us in order and on time. We are BEYOND obsessed with our wedding photos and always get so many compliments. We recommend Colette to everyone and can’t wait to use her again! -

Beautiful memories from a superb photographer
Working with Colette was wonderful. She did our engagement photos as well as our wedding photos. I do not like my pictures taken and Colette made me feel comfortable and both my husband and I had so much fun. It was easy to pose for the engagement photos and the editing made them perfect. She had great ideas and locations. The day of the wedding went so smoothly. Colette was available all day. She took pics getting ready as well as the ceremony and the small reception afterwards. I could not have asked for a better photographer and hope to do family photos with her sometime soon. She is a kind soul with a wonderful talent!-

We love Colette!
We hired Colette for our November 2020 wedding, and we couldn’t be happier! We created a timeline together and a list of “must have” shots. The day went smoothly, she was so fun and comfortable to be around. I am obsessed with every picture from our wedding day. -

Exceptional on all levels
I had the greatest opportunity to work with Colette and everything about the experience was incredible! She was very imaginative and creative with styling my husband and I during the shoot. She was knowledgable and provided great direction, and the photos we received were absolutely superb! The quality blew my mind and I have been craving to hire her for more shoots in the near future ever since. I cannot recommend highly enough. -

So happy we chose Colette!
We decided on Colette as our wedding photographer after our good friends recommended her to us. We absolutely loved their wedding photos and the fact that we had already met her at their wedding made us feel so comfortable with her from the start. By the time we had our engagement session with her, we even felt like we were friends. She put so much effort and care into working with us, so we didn’t feel like we were just another client to her. Colette is seriously so amazing, and I’m so happy that we chose her and her team to capture our day. -
