Colin Coleman Photography

hostage. I sent all the pictures for the album that I wanted but the format of the application didn’t work so I couldn't send it through the program and he has refused to make the album or respond to my emails. Also the photographer he brought with him was also hitting on my bridesmaids. I work in the service industry and the idea of someone not wanting to hand a finished product to a costumer makes me sick. I’m more then willing to solve this situation but he is not willing. Two years later no album and my 8,000 is in his pocket, so unprofessional.

rk and chatting with him, I knew we found the perfect one. Anything that we wanted they were ready for. It was chilly since we married in February in Philly but we did all the outside shots. I hardly knew they were taking our pictures throughout the day. We can't wait to see the final prints and relive our day through our pictures.

king at our pictures. He's incredible! We went into our engagement shooting thinking it would be awkward but Colin made it fun and not so weird to have someone following you around with a camera. And when it came to the day of our wedding, Colin and Chris were everywhere! Even our guests commented on how much they were running around, laying on the ground and practically rolling in the mud! My husband and I just can't say enough great things! Colin and Chris really made it fun and added so much to our day. It wouldn't have been the same without them. Not to mention the amazing pictures we will have for the rest of our lives!!!

tially reached out, we had a call with him that lasted almost an hour, and it felt like we had already known each other for a while. Colin really took the time to get to know us, and find out what makes us US. We knew our wedding photos were going to be great after he did our engagement shoot, but we were absolutely blown away by the wedding photos we've seen thus far. Him and Eric did an awesome job - even my dad commented on the fact that they were running around the entire wedding capturing everything, and my dad is a man of very few words! Colin's ability to capture so many special moments throughout the day, in such a beautiful way, really makes him a standout photographer. Family and friends have said that they felt they were able to relive the entire day after looking through the photos again. These photos are so special to us, and we are so happy we picked Colin to shoot our big day. Long story short - if you want beautiful, perfectly executed photos that truly capture your and your partners' day, then Colin is your guy!

ed in the pictures he takes- the hardest part has been deciding which ones to use (My facebook album was so hard to narrow down!) His pictures clearly captured our wedding day and really made us feel like we were reliving the best day of our life. He captured so many beautiful moments of not just us, but also our family and friends! Aside from his talent, Colin is also a great personally and professionally. We found Collin and knew that he would be great for our out-of-town wedding immediately after our first skype session. Colin really got to know us as a couple, which helped to capture our wedding day even better. Colin, and his assistant Kelly, are extremely personable and easy to get along with. On our wedding day, Colin was friendly and professional but also not intrusive.

t like an old family friend. I was comfortable enough to let him follow me to brush my teeth and trusted him when he told us we'd get the perfect shot if we climbed up the fire escape (which we did by the way!). He really took the time to get to know us and captured the day as it was, the best of our lives. Both Colin and his 2nd shooter, Eric, always made sure my dress looked perfect and made us laugh every time we needed to loosen up. I called them my honorary bridesmaids and I couldn't imagine not having them there on our wedding day. Colin went above and beyond and had no problem jumping into the middle of the dance floor or getting up on the balcony with the band. The pictures are better than we could have ever imagined. Colin truly is so talented and has a great eye for detail. The angles he captures are unlike anything you've ever seen in wedding albums. Our family and friends are blown away by the pictures from the blog and cannot wait to see more! Thank you Colin for the wonderful experience from start to finish and for telling our story through your beautiful photographs!

e calls. It's not an awkward phone call either, it's more like your friend calling to chat. He wants to get to you and your significant other so he can work as best as he can with you. After you speak with him on the phone, you get an in person meeting with Colin to put a face to the name. The in person meeting was not awkward either. Colin is personable, professional and most of all, down to earth making conversation easy. Colin is not only an awesome person, but his work is amazing. He is so talented and I could't love my photos from him more. This is a lot for me to say as myself and my significant other are not photo people. However, we love Colin's photos and his work. Too many people to count have gone out of their way to compliment the photos and more so, Colin. While photo shoots can be awkward by definition, the engagement shoot was so painless. Colin makes it so easy to work with him and before you know it you are having fun, forgetting that you are doing a shoot. Colin is very creative and is always looking for new shots. Our engagement shoot lasted well into the dark hours, but it was so much fun and produced such beautiful work. The wedding day went just as well and by that time, having Colin there all day was just like having your friend there. All of my wedding party fell in love with him immediately and the day was just so amazing. He brought a second shooter, Kelly, who was equally as great and made the process that much better. I honestly cannot say enough good things. The only downside to Colin may be when you get his price. However, I will tell you that you get what you pay for and if you want amazing photos to cherish forever, Colin is your man and it is money well, well spent.

through what we considered to be the most important vendor (after reception site). He was calm, poised, and ready to handle any situation, including my bridal freak outs, family drama, everything in between. His photos were original, unique, nontraditional, beautiful, and you didn't even realize he was there taking them. For the area and what you get, his prices were amazing, as his value is so much more than what is listed. Our interactions weren't client and vendor, they were between two new friends, which also helped to create even more unique and characteristic photos on our big day. My husband said he'd pick him again in a heartbeat, and we look forward to hiring him again as our family grows. Easily the best vendor we booked hands down (and all our vendors were amazing!). The photos did take a little while to arrive, but they were definitely worth the wait. The color, detail, texture, all beautiful. Couldn't ask for better.

s feel so calm and captured our personalities perfectly! Thanks again guys for being the cherry on top of the best day ever! <3

is very professional, but also personable and makes you feel really comfortable. He did our engagement photos and within minutes of meeting him I felt at ease. So when it came to the wedding day I had no anxieties over him or his assistant being around. Our wedding/engagement pictures are so Much more than I imagined they would be. I would recommend Colin to anyone.

of the camera so easily. After our engagement photos I was looking forward to having him in the room on our wedding day because he is such a joy to be around. Colin was incredibly professional and helped us at every step of setting up our photos, giving suggestions along they way of what would work best for us given what we wanted out of our wedding day. He had a beautiful way of capturing the essence of our relationship and the love we share. We never felt like we were being posed in awkward ways or like we were asked to do anything out of what the norm of our relationship is. Our photos are stunning, people constantly comment on how gorgeous they are and have even said they are the best wedding pictures they have ever seen. Colin is incredible. His photographs are beautiful. I HIGHLY recommend him!

eetings are too. Over the course of the two years of me planning my wedding, Colin and I kindled a friendship. Having him at our wedding was like having another guest there, we wanted him there because he had become so special to us. I never needed to give Colin a list of shots I wanted, I trusted him completely to get all the special moments that I knew I couldn't think of or see. Colin is 100% creative and fearless to get the best shot. Ladies and gentleman, he climbed in to a water fountain and got wet to get what has to be my favorite photos that I've seen so far. The manager of our venue was so impressed that at the end of the night he asked my husband and I If he could purchase photos of us to use for advertising for the venue! So many brides have told me that they never got to enjoy their receptions because they were taking pictures all night. Not the case with Colin, he only took us away from the party when he was ready for us. He made sure the shot was completely set up so we were only away for a few moments. The next day at brunch I had so many guests come up and say how they couldn't wait to see our pictures based on what they had seen the night before. All my bridemaids said they wanted to get married again just to have Colin be their photographers. The wedding day goes by so fast and at the end all you have are your memories and photographs. Colin takes more than just pictures. He takes moments and stories of one of the most epic days of your life. I would highly recommend Colin again and again. You won't regret it!

e and delivered everything ahead of schedule. His team on the wedding day was also fun to work with and they worked well with each other.

iable, and talented. My mom - a photographer herself - recommended him after seeing his photographs online. After we spoke, I felt that he understood my personality and aesthetic, and we decided an engagement shoot would be a good opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera. We chose to take photos throughout Philadelphia, and Colin hiked 4 miles with all of his gear to get the most amazing shots possible. On our wedding day, Colin surprised me by showing up early at the hair salon, and he stayed late to make sure we had every photo we wanted. We were extremely satisfied with our photographs, and we feel we made a great friend, too.

ents on my wedding photos and that is because Colin does what others don't. He'll get face down in the dirt to get the perfect shot. He has a talent I've never seen in a photographer before. I recommend Colin to any and every couple still undecided on who to should trust with capturing the most amazing day of their lives.

ut his shooting style/what to expect. During the actual shoot day, he made my fiancee and I feel very comfortable (and neither of us like being photographed!) He was even patient with incorporating our rambunctious puppy into our shoot as well. By the end of the session, it felt like he was one of our friends.Our photos were GORGEOUS- we loved them so much that we booked Colin to shoot our wedding.

at with me our entire day would have been off! He really put my husband and me at ease during our engagement shoot since we're not used to being in front of a camera. He made the entire shoot so much fun and our photos were so amazing that we made them into our guest sign in book for our wedding. Colin and his second photographer Natalia were so sweet on the day of our wedding. Colin made sure to keep things moving along and reassured me that I was being totally calm and in control even though at times I felt like I wasn't! He was so friendly with our family and friends and immediately put everyone at ease. My husband and I had a great time working with him and because of how relaxed the engagement shoot was we felt even more comfortable with taking wedding photos. Colin had some insanely cool photo ideas that came out breath-taking. Most of our photos look like they are straight out of a bridal magazine. Our friends and family have not stopped raving about his photos since we shared his blog post about our wedding. Colin was super responsive and always made himself available to me for questions or just stressing about the wedding. He was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend him to another bride without hesitation. If you're looking for gorgeous photos and an amazing experience, definitely be sure to book him!

me page the entire time. We were looking for someone to work for us and with us at the same time. He made sure our vision was not lost while also adding his great personal touch as a photographer. Of everything we had to worry about with a wedding, our photographer was not one of them. He made sure he checked in with us and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Most importantly, the pictures could not have been better. Thank you so much for making the experience about us and getting us great pictures.

s a photographer, that my family thought he was one of our close friends. We felt so at ease with him that he brought out our best, and all our pictures look great! He has a great eye for each shoot that all our pictures came out so unique and breathtaking. He is not your typical "say cheese" photographer. He will truly capture your day.

talk business. This made Steve and I so comfortable in front of the camera. He is so talented and I can't thank him enough for capturing our wedding so beautifully. He went above and beyond our expectations, is such a sweetheart, easy to work with, down to earth, and super fun. I can't wait to use him for all our of future photography needs! xoxo

! By the end of our engagement session, we felt like we had known Colin for years, and this feeling was cemented during the wedding. He went above and beyond our expectations and made everything feel very easy and natural for us. All of the pictures he took were so creative, and we will be looking at them over and over again for years to come! When we first chose Colin, we knew we booked an amazing photographer, turns out we got the best!!

details painlessly! Colin took the time to review everything with me upfront and provide me with amazing ideas on the best way to capture the day. He worked amazingly with our whole bridal party even in the heat to be quick and painless! I absolutely loved working with Colin and am already coming up with reasons to have another party and hire him again.

ok like. Colin was very understanding to my needs, and he listened to my every request. The pictures are flawless, and we are so proud of the end result. I would HIGHLY recommend Colin to everybody. Colin is an amazing photographer, and I am so happy we got a chance to share our special day with him.

y see in the Lehigh Valley. Colin came highly recommended to us and as soon as we met I knew he was the right choice and understood our vision for our wedding day. Colin is approachable, pays close attention to details and captured the true essence of our day… moments of joy and laughter surrounded with the love of our family and friends…. we could not ask for more. Thank you, Colin

in to know what makes your relationship unique so that he can capture moments of true connection between people in and artistic yet unobtrusive way. We have a less traditional view on wedding photography. Colin asked all the right questions so that he was able to understand exactly how we wanted our wedding day to be remembered. I was also impressed with how he was thoughtful in inquiring about family dynamics in order to have an understanding of what shots to prepare for, or how to avoid any awkward moments. While group/family portraits were important to us we wanted to make sure that the “staged” shots did not seem forced or cheesy. He successfully managed to direct our giant family/wedding party into taking some of our most favorite photos of the day. Colin is professional, amazingly creative, fun, and possesses the ability to go with the flow. These qualities made working with Colin on our wedding day a breeze! Colin arrived on time, with a smile and his assistants for the day. (I would like to note that they were all dressed appropriately for the feel of the wedding, which I felt was a nice touch.) He and his team immediately fit in seamlessly with everyone, enabling him to capture little gems of laughter and tears. Having Colin along side us was like having a family member or a best bud to share in all the joy and love. Creating a bond with your photographer truly makes the difference between average and exceptional photography. This became very clear to us during our engagement session. It can be difficult to loosen up in front of a person who wants to take pictures of how in love you are with someone. Colin was able to figure out what made us tick. He quickly discovered that a beer would do the trick. (Just for us of course!) But soon into the shoot we were having a great time. Colin helped us to let down our guard and take great, natural photos. Plus, the engagement session experience was a great way to prepare for our wedding day. If you are looking for an exceptional photographer to capture the most important moments of your life in a way that truly reflects who you are and how you feel, then we highly recommend Colin Coleman.

t this stranger with my money and with capturing the moments that would become my most cherished memories? Yes! I trusted him almost instantly. Colin kept in touch with me on a regular basis throughout the entire year leading up to my wedding. Nobody could believe that I, the most detail-oriented, planning obsessed, control freak really was waiting until my wedding day to meet my photographer! Colin arrived right on time and began taking pictures of any and every detail I requested. I did not want many formal shots, but really wanted my pictures to capture the moments I never wanted to forget…and that is exactly what I got. Thanks to Colin, I was completely calm, cool, and collected the entire day, which was completely shocking to everyone, including myself. He had a really unique style, and it seriously felt like I simply had another friend join the party, not an intrusive photographer. When I received my proofs, the pictures had an organic, stylistic feel that blew me away. He captured so many details of my wedding that I never thought would make it to film. I planned my whole wedding from start to finish and Colin’s handiwork continues to help me remember the beginning of my happily ever after. -Sharon Ousey

d the timeline for the day, it felt like hanging out with a friend. He offered helpful hints to make the day run smoother and to ensure we got the best pictures possible. The day of the wedding he was on time, and got right to work getting shots, he didn’t miss a beat. During the reception both him and his second shooter snapped away without getting in the way or becoming overbearing. When the previews of our wedding went up online, we had butterflies in our stomach as we looked at the amazing images, but we also received numerous messages from friends and family saying how much they loved the preview and could not wait to see more. Choosing Colin was by far the best decision we made when it came to planning our wedding. We still have fond memories of that day, but the photos are truly what bring the memories back to life.

uary and knew immediately that Colin was the right guy for our Wedding. We were engaged in January and I booked him in February of 2015 for our October 2016 Wedding. There was no way I was letting him get booked up. I always look forward to our conversations, he is so personable and you can tell you are his top priority. Colin did my engagement photos this past fall and they turned out better then I could have ever imagined. Our photos told the story of my fiance and myself so perfectly. His pictures really are worth 1,000 words. I can't WAIT to see what he does for our Wedding photos. I could go on and on about this man and his awesome work, but bottom line- If you book anyone else for your photographer then you are stupid. Just saying :)
