Coli Michael Photography

edibly attentive to what we needed. On the big day, I didn't want to spend hours taking pictures - Coli managed to get through our shot list seamlessly and captured all of our special moments throughout the night without feeling like we were always posing. If you're looking for a photographer who feels more like a friend, is easy to work with and passionate about what they do - I wholeheartedly recommend Coli!!

completely comfortable and guided us while we posed for photos so that we didn't feel awkward. Our photos turned out absolutely stunning! We received so many compliments from friends and family, who said the photos looked like they belonged in a magazine. We can't recommend Coli enough!

changes, in the most beautiful way possible! She is so friendly, professional, organized and detail oriented. Her positive energy is truly contagious - she made us feel completely at ease, keeping us laughing and relaxed throughout the entire day and making us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Throughout the planning process, Coli was very communicative, quick to respond to our questions, and happy to jump on a call whenever we needed to go over any details. On the day of, Coli kept us on track with the timeline, managing portraits and family group shots with ease. She rounded up everyone very efficiently, keeping the mood light and fun, and leaving us with plenty of time to enjoy our cocktail hour. Truly one of the best decisions was booking Coli to photograph our wedding - we had so much fun working with her and she captured our day perfectly! We cannot recommend her enough!

my husband and I feel so comfortable through our engagement session and our wedding day. Coli did an amazing job keeping us on track wedding day, and was very diligent to make sure my husband and I didn’t see each other prior to the ceremony. She is the best and we cannot recommend her enough!!

er for us. When we met in person at our engagement shoot (included!), all my feelings were confirmed. She is so caring, kind, and professional. We have received so many compliments on our wedding photos and I have recommended her to everyone I know getting married next year.

al! Her pictures are gorgeous, we are so happy to have found her! Thank you Coli!

nt/wedding photos with her. She is beyond skilled and anyone would be lucky to have her shoot the most important day of their lives!

of everything, which was very important for me, being a type A person myself. She’s also very professional, but most of all she’s sincere and the sweetest human ever. My husband and I wanted to find a photographer that we not only loved their style of shooting and editing, but we also wanted to feel comfortable and ourselves with. After all, you’re spending one of the most significant days of your life with them. We truly hit the jackpot finding Coli! Our wedding day, like many in the summer of 2023, ended up having tropical storm like rain. We trusted Coli and her process to get the shots we were looking to get on our day and she totally delivered! We cannot thank Coli enough for her generosity and going above and beyond, making our wedding day experience that much more exceptional. These photos will be memories that we’ll share and treasure for years to come. Even though my wedding was back in May, I find myself still going back to my album and obsessing over how AMAZING these photos are. We couldn’t speak more highly of Coli and recommend her to anyone and everyone who needs a wedding photographer!

photos. Coli's fiance (now husband!!), Dave was our second shooter for the day and all the groomsmen raved about how fun their photos were and how natural Dave made everything feel. We had a very rainy/windy day (as did everyone this year) and Coli was constantly monitoring the weather and knew the exact intervals we had in order to get our photos on the beach & we were successful right before it began downpouring! She had very quick backup plans and even though she had never shot at our venue, she arrived early to scope out rain locations in case we weren't able to take all our photos outside as initially planned. Coli made the whole experience feel so natural and enjoyable. She also was able to quickly wrangle our extended family for photos and arrange so efficiently. She captured so many incredible candid moments throughout the day, which are some of our favorite pictures to look back at. Guests even commented how the photographers really blended right into the crowd. She had sneak peeks back to us the day after our wedding, which was incredible to get to see some results that quickly! When our full album came back a month after our wedding, we couldn't believe how perfect the photos were! I can't recommend Coli enough!!!!

otographer and made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens! Her images are light and romantic with a fine art approach. We had an engagement shoot with Coli in Newport, RI. She got the most amazing shots of us on the beach and I’ve already framed so many of them! Our wedding day was absolutely flawless and Coli played a huge role in keeping everyone focused, laughing and staying on track with the shot list. Coli is super professional, organized, and talented. We are so blessed to have her photographs to cherish forever. THANK YOU COLI!!

G - She is so incredibly talented! Our friends and family have been blown away by the "sneak peek" photos (delivered so quickly which is an added bonus!) and a few people already reached out asking who our photographer was, because she is that good!!! I would recommend Coli to absolutely every single bride/groom to be!

inally found the perfect night to take the photos and Coli was so patient and easygoing throughout the entire process. She made us feel so comfortable and the shoot was fun and enjoyable, we were laughing and smiling the whole night! Coli and Ashley shot our wedding and I cannot say enough great things about how amazing they both were! We did our first look at the Elms and they found the most beautiful spot to do all of our pictures at. They made us feel so comfortable, were so fun to be around and are the sweetest humans. They are truly so great at what they do. Coli sent us sneak peaks the morning after our wedding and the photos were beyond amazing, even more than we could have imagined!! We’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family saying they look like they should be in a magazine and we can’t wait to see the remaining photos as we know they’re going to be perfect! Thank you so much, you are so talented!!! Cannot recommend enough!!!!!

or and more. We requested some tricky locations like climbing 150 stairs to a bluff and she was more than ready for the adventure. Being on camera can be awkward but she made us feel so comfortable, helped us pose, and most importantly captured our true love. As I show off my photos, everyone is asking who took them because they are that stunning. Talent like hers is hard to come by!

dreading the first shoot a little. Turns out my fears were not warranted and Coli set the tone well with our photos on the beach, clearly showing her knowledge of that area and how to make a great photo with even my ugly mug. In both that day and our wedding day, Coli showed how well she can balance being super efficient in shooting and still keeping a sense of humor throughout. I’ve been a participant in enough weddings to realize how things can get screwed up… rude photographer, no sense of time photographer, doesn’t explain things photographer… but Coli can walk a tight rope and managed getting all the shots, not ticking off the family, wrangling the groomsmen, and getting us back into dinner on time. While I can’t speak for our videographers, my impression was that she was extremely professional and worked well with them so they could respectively get their jobs done. When it comes to photo styling, everyone has their preference, but for my wife and I, Coli’s work away from the lens was the initial draw and we’re still thrilled with how everything has come out. I’m not completely cured of being camera-shy, and if I can help it, I’ll never have to be the direct target of Coli’s camera again, but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND that YOU should be! Thank you Coli for helping us hold these memories!

r that we adored her so much we had to have her as our wedding photographer too. Coli is so easy and fun to work with! She created the most gorgeous photos that truly encompassed our special day perfectly. She listened to exactly what we wanted and really made our wedding experience so amazing!! She even gave me her shoes at one point while taking photo's because my feet hurt so bad- truly the nicest and most thoughtful person in the world!! I could not recommend working with Coli more!!

art and actually made all of our sessions fun! our engagement shoot was perfect and the pictures came out so beautiful. Coli gave us about 40 sneak peak pictures right away after the wedding and they are STUNNING! i cant wait to see the rest! I am so grateful to her and Dave for making it such a fun process and knowing what we needed before we even knew it! Definitely highly recommend Coli!!

kes you feel like a model when you’re in front of her camera. I knew after we got our engagement photos back that I couldn’t wait for her to photograph my wedding too. On the wedding day she was full of energy. She kept the pictures rolling in a timely manner and with my extended family I was truly grateful for this. She has a wonderful sense of humor which makes being around Coli a pleasure. I already received a sneak peek a day after our wedding and I am in awe on how fabulous these photos look! If you’re looking for a photographer who truly loves what she does, has a great personality and is extremely talented. Coli is your girl!

. Leading up to those amazing images, Coli was also a true partner in our wedding. Throughout the planning process Coli was responsive and organized, and on the day of, she was the calm in the storm. She was warm, bubbly, and genuinely excited to capture our day. Her enthusiasm for photography was contagious, and she was able to turn my photo-shy husband into a willing model. She made us feel completely at ease, and gave us great direction throughout. She had fantastic ideas for locations to shoot, and was even willing to hike down dozens (hundreds? I lost count!) of steps and over rocky coves to capture THE shot. Really there are not enough words to describe how happy we are to have worked with Coli.

ized, professional, and absolutely AMAZING at what she does. I remember I was driving home from a bridal store appointment and I received a text from Coli with our engagement picture sneak peeks. I handed my phone over to my mom to look at them and she turned the phone to me and my jaw dropped. I couldn't get over how stunning the pictures were that I just wanted to get home immediately and look at them! The day of our wedding, Coli was the only vendor that I felt like I didn't have to worry about or stress over. I knew that she was going to show up and work her magic once again, and she absolutely did. I had family & friends coming up to me throughout the night telling me that she worked her butt off. If you are lucky enough to hire Coli to photograph your wedding, you are lucky enough. Coli, we can't thank you enough for capturing memories that we'll cherish forever.

ople that make you feel sad comfortable on your big day, they also are SO efficient , knowledgeable and so good at what they do. Coli sent me “sneak peak” pictures the morning after my wedding and as a bride that is the best feeling getting to reminisce! Our photos are perfect, more than we could have imagined and our favorite memory of our big day!

r energy together is great!

awesome. Her and Dave are truly a power couple and we could not have picked a better team to capture our day. If you’re getting married, hire Coli!

as soon as we talked to Coli on the phone we knew she would be the perfect person for us! She was super helpful leading up to the big day making sure we had everything ready to go (all of the details for the flat lay photos) etc. We had such a great experience with her and her future husband the day of. The photos turned out so beautiful. It’s hard to narrow down favorites because they are all stunning. We did a lot of research when booking vendors and it was so worth it because we felt little to no stress the day of our wedding. Coli was worth every penny!! We will cherish these photos forever.

smoothly. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and timeless, I have gotten so many complements. I would recommend her to everyone.

ct person to work with. She is so friendly, has a ton of energy and really takes the time to get to know you. For our engagement session I let her pick our location and she delivered heavenly photos of us on the cliffs of Newport. Then, at our wedding she was definitely part of our crew! She fit right in like I knew she would. She once again blew us away with her attention to detail and amazing skill. And shoutout to Dave for his awesome shots too! DO NOT HESITATE TO HIRE HER. SHE WILL BE THE BEST VENDOR AT YOUR WEDDING. Coli, thank you so much for being apart of our journey. You are an incredible human and unbelievably talented. I am hopeful that when we need photos in the future you MIGHT be able to squeeze us in :)

r on multiple occasions, including my engagement photos, my sister and best friend’s weddings, and my own wedding. Coli is like family now! She is so kind, compassionate, bubbly, and enthusiastic. Coli truly makes you feel so comfortable and special. She is quick to respond, extremely dependable, organized, and detailed oriented. She is so passionate about her work and her photographs are absolutely stunning!! Stop your search now and book Coli, you won’t regret it. I can’t recommend her enough!!!

c. Her photos were stunning - light, airy, golden and romantic. I love candids and felt all her pictures captured the authentic love and happiness of all her couples. I am so happy we hired her for our big day. Not only did our photos come out beyond gorgeous, she is so fun, easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable. The entire bridal party raved how much they loved Coli and her assistant Dave. On top of everything, they also shared our love for pups. Our pup Max was part of every aspect of our day and they couldn’t have been more accommodating capturing every special moment with him. Hire Coli! You will be so happy you did!

r be but she was so flexible and understanding throughout our rescheduling challenges. And when we finally got to have the wedding this past July, it was SO worth the wait. She’s so skilled in making you feel comfortable and flies through shots quickly do you don’t miss too much of the day. The pictures themselves are absolutely unreal! I recommend her to EVERYONE I can. ❤️

here will definitely be something that does not go exactly according to plan on your wedding day and they’re right but having the best vendors makes all the difference. Coli was able to roll with the punches while making sure we had the photos that meant so much to us to have. We so appreciated her flexibility and her ability to make me feel comfortable , relaxed (especially when I was nervous with changes we had to make day of) and so beautiful. We feel so lucky to have moments captured that we will be obsessed with forever.

s her work incredible, creative and warm, but so is she!! I received advice from a friend that you would be spending a lot of time with your photographer day of your wedding, so you want to like them. Coli was the sweetest, so funny and just absolutely great to have around! I would recommend her again and again! Even during the challenging 2020/2021 seasons, Coli was so responsive and so flexible working with us as we rescheduled and replanned a wedding. We could not be happier to have the opportunity to have her capture our day! BOOK HER NOW- you will not regret it!!

days of our engagement session and wedding were actually cloudy and Coli pulled through and still took the most amazing photos we ever could've asked for! We really enjoyed all of our time spent with her and can't thank her enough for all of her hard work and dedication to what she does. You'll be in great hands if you work with her!!

AMAZING photos (check out her Instagram and site), she was so kind, detail oriented, creative (we loved her Polaroid tradition) and personable. So many guests and family raved about her to us afterwards. Would highly recommend for any photography you need done, you won’t be disappointed!

to your budget and will work with you to design the perfect package. Coli is super efficient when it comes to taking group photos, allowing us to have time to enjoy some of the cocktail hour. She made the process fun and enjoyable for the entire wedding party. The next morning she already had a sneak peak sent to me and the photos were absolutely GORGEOUS!! The quality of her work is stunning and I cannot recommend her enough!!!

onded that she had my date open. I submitted my deposit immediately, I was SO excited! From the engagement session to the wedding day Coli was an absolute dream to work with. Her photography is top notch. Her and her second shooter Ashley were so awesome, we had them WORKING! And I mean- running up a stairway on a cliff kinda working. We had so much fun with them and I recommend Coli to all of my engaged friends. If you want beautiful photos, have some fun and lots of laughs hide her!

both my fiancé and I. He was so surprised how easy it was. I’m more excited for her to photograph our wedding now!

had known her forever and it was so easy to have her with us for our day! We also have an almost 2 year old that was overtired and sassy and Coli was so patient and great with her and managed to get some amazing shots of her even in her grumpy state! I can not recommend her enough!

tire process making us feel so confident and content with our decision. Coli was amazing the day of the ceremony making everyone feel comfortable and did an absolutely incredible job with the pictures! We would recommend Coli to anyone !

personable and so fun to be around. She easily helped me laugh during the session so my fiancé and I weren’t awkward. I love love love my photos. Definitely hire Coli!!

backyard of my parents’ house due to COVID restrictions and Coli worked with us to make it happen! She was not only our photographer but also a bit of a coordinator, jumping in to help and assist wherever she saw the need. She flowed through the day with us as we were a little hectic on timing since we were putting together the celebration ourselves. We had to hurry due to an impending thunderstorm and she was able to get every single shot we were looking for without making us feel rushed or worried. Our friends raved about our pictures and shared that this was the best wedding pictures they have seen (we agree!) We are so happy with the way Coli captured our wedding and highlighted the intimacy of our wedding. Book Coli!

ugh the whole shoot! Once we got our photos back I was in awe of her talent, she captures more than just a picture, she captures the most genuine and heart filled moments throughout your shoot. I could not wait until we got to work with Coli again on our wedding day, but then amidst all the pandemic we had to reschedule for summer 2021 (which I quickly contacted Coli first because I needed to make sure she was still able to shoot our wedding day... which thankfully she was able!! After all that rescheduling my husband and I were still planning on getting married on our original date. I asked Coli if we could have her still shoot that day as well and she said she was more than happy to and was just as excited as we were! We tied the knot on 7.11.2020 with a minimony and we got all of our wedding pictures back extremely fast and they were absolutely stunning! Like I said before she captures your true love in a picture where you can relive the moment by just looking at her amazing photographs! I am so happy that we not only got to work with her twice but now 3 times! Do yourselves a favor and book her, you won’t regret it!!🤍✨🥂

er! All of our pictures are amazing and I am so grateful for all of the beautiful moments she captured. She was with us from the morning and well into the evening on our wedding day and she was full of energy and enthusiasm the entire time. We were able to enjoy our time with our family and guests while Coli and her partner captured very special moments for us. I suggest you book Coli before you lose your chance!

hat we needed and what we didn’t. She was personable, easy to talk to, and made us both feel comfortable. We had some family drama regarding photos (divorced parents 😳) We explained the situation to Coli and she handled it like a champ. She is so sweet and her warm personality put everyone at ease. My bridal party still talks about how great she was. Also- we also had a big bridal party and she was great at wrangling everybody for the group shots. On top of everything, we are in love with our photos are beautiful. We couldn’t have been happier with our decision.

right in the moment while Coli captured our love. These moments she captures are truly romantic and personable. I can't wait for our album!

wedding day - she made us feel so comfortable and had such a positive energy and light to her that made everything so easy. Our guests absolutely loved her as well and raved about how professional, yet sociable she was - it was like she had been friends/family with us forever. I would highly recommend Coli for anyone in search of a wedding photographer, you will not regret it! Thanks for everything Coli :)

idal suite and made everyone feel so comfortable. She fit in seamlessly and her work is absolutely breathtaking. Coli went above and beyond and I will never forget her. Do yourself a favor and book her - it is a no brainer.
