uty of the day.
Not only did the photographs turn out beautiful, but Cole was absolutely amazing to work with. We were a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera but Coles lightheartedness and sense of humor put us at ease. We had several last minute timing adjustments to our engagement shoot (my husband had surgery) and for our wedding day itinerary (long story). Cole was flexible on both accounts and worked with us. For our wedding day, we had to move up the ceremony due to an unforeseen venue issue 2 weeks before the wedding. Cole ended up making himself available for another 2 hours on our wedding day to make it happen for us. Thank you Cole for making our day so incredibly special.
Cole was fantastic to work with. I was so impressed with his photos, and I think what sets him apart is how comfortable he makes his brides, grooms, and bridal parties feel. There ...
were no forced smiles, he was making us laugh and honestly made the whole experience so fun! He captured all the best moments in all the right ways, with little instruction from us. He is a true professional and has a lot of experience so he knows what he is doing. Cole has mastered the art of perfectly blending in, so none of us or any of our guests ever felt like the paparazzi was flashing cameras in our faces. I can’t say enough good things Cole, I would hire him again and again!
Cole was absolutely fantastic.
He shot our engagement session and our wedding. He was super helpful and made us feel just like home (we are both very shy and never had our picture...
s taken professionally before).
Our wedding pictures are just a dream and we can’t wait until we finally decide on the pictures we want for our wedding album.
I’ll use his services again in a heart beat!
