ing but he has done our engagement photos and the wedding photos for some of our family members, so we are super familiar with working with Cole. He is beyond professional in every meeting and in his responsiveness online, and his pictures turn out so stunning. He is great at scoping out the best places for the photos that you want and ultimately composing beautiful moments. He is also exceptional at making sure you are comfortable and having as much fun as possible as a couple, ensuring that the photos really do reflect your personality and vibe. For the little ones in the family photos as well as all the other family and friends he was great at getting smiles and making sure our group photos turned out so well! We are truly eternally grateful to Cole and his whole team for making our big day so special and capturing it in the most stunning possible way! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

getting pictures taken seem like the most natural and enjoyable experience. He was such a calming and kind presence. When we received our gallery, my husband and I were speechless because all of those little moments that we loved about our wedding day were captured perfectly.

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 weddi...
ng except for Cole. I coincidently met Cole at my friend’s wedding which he photographed so that really cool. Cole and his assistant were punctual and sooo nice. 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 pric...
e (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.
Cole is incredible at his craft! From our first initial Facetime call with him, Cole really got to know my husband and I. We did an engagement session with him as well as hired him...
to shoot our wedding. By the time our wedding came around, we felt 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!
