Cole is an amazing photographer!!! My wedding was on April 28, 2018 at the Santa Margarita Ranch. I’m not from the area so I didn’t meet any of my vendors until the day of my wedding except for Cole. I coincidently met Cole at my friend’s weddi...

He got every photo that I asked him to get and he was so patient as everyone was getting rounded up for pictures. He also made a very lovely photo album of pictures that I chose which I love to show everyone when they come over to my house! 10 out of 5 stars!!! :D

On your wedding day, the person you probably spend the most time with is actually your photographer. My wife and I chose Cole based on his stellar portfolio, the all important price (which was a great value for us) and most importantly, how we ...

felt after grabbing a coffee and having a great/natural conversation with him. The last thing you want is to be with someone a majority of your special day and feel like they are bothersome, intruding, etc. This was def not the case with Cole who was with my wife, and his assistant Alex who was with me. They were always there but not, at the same time. Never intruding, just letting the day go and capturing the moment instead of focusing on the staged photos that no groom or groomsmen like to take anyhow. The rapport between the two of them was awesome and I cannot imagine our wedding day with any other photographer. The photos that Cole captured turned out awesome, and we were extremely happy with how the pictures turned out of our special day. Don't distract your wedding with gimmicky things like photo booths, videographers, etc. , just hire a guy like Cole and live in the moment. You will be happy that you did.

elt like he was a friend. He really listened to our ideas for our engagement shoot and took us to some great locations to make them happen. We felt really comfortable in front of the camera with Cole. On our wedding day, he was extremely profressional and his second shooter was great as well. He delivered some sneak peeks the next day after our big day and delivered the rest right on time. He made sure to get shots of everyone important to us and really captured the emotion of our day. His style is so beautiful and really matched the vibe we were going for. Thank you Cole for giving us beautiful memories that will last us a lifetime!

Photography in my life was rooted from skateboarding. Skating around town with my friends and my dads film camera. I was so drawn to documenting the pure fun we had. Easily, I fell in love with power and weight a photo holds. The emotion I have when I look back at those first photo of my friends is priceless. as my interest grew I began exploring different avenues of photography. I worked at a portrait studio, assisted celebrity fashion photographers, and worked in e-commerce companies shooting product photography. I finally found my niche in wedding photography. Shooting photos with emotion.
