About this vendor
I am a wedding and editorial photographer based in Chicago, Illinois. Combining my unique past in photojournalism, sports, and fashion photography, I created a style that is both candid and dramatic. I am dedicated to a personalized approach with all of my clients; reflected in the images I capture of their life-defining moments.
A little about my style:
I like to combine the beautiful editorial images that you love seeing in the pages of a magazine, with the photojournalistic moments you don't see always happening. Gorgeous editorial inspired by the pages of Vogue, GQ, and Vanity Fair meets classic photojournalistic emotional moments.

110% Yes. You MUST hire Collin. His attention to detail, the pictures he takes, and his personality make him the best wedding photographer!! He is thoughtful, deliberate, and encou...
rages you to have fun. We LOVED our wedding photos.
The photos Collin took of our wedding day turned out insanely beautiful!! It was like a dream! The best possible version of our day. He did such an incredible job capturing our day...
and the people in it. Every single photo is a piece of art. Every time I look at photos from that day it brings me such joy. Photography was very important to us, since that's what we have to remember the day, and did Collin deliver!! We can't recommend him enough, one of the best decisions we made for our wedding :)
Collin shot our September wedding this year at the Lyric Opera House in Chicago and we couldn't be happier with his work! He was incredibly easy to work with and makes you feel ext...
remely comfortable in front of the camera. His use of lighting and attention to detail make his photos very unique and intimate, it was everything we were looking for! I would strongly recommend Collin!
Here is the deal folks - there IS a difference among wedding photographers and Collin is simply the most talented of the bunch. We did our diligence, talked with a ton of talented...
, kind people and came to the conclusion that Collin was the best fit for us. It was undoubtedly the right decision. Collin's pictures of our wedding (which I can't help but look at on a regular basis), literally takes me back into the room and lets me experience the best day of my life all over again. He does more than take pictures, he captures moments!
My fiancé hired Collin to shoot our proposal pictures (as a complete surprise to me) and I am so grateful that he did. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous and Collin did a perfec...
t job at capturing this once in a lifetime moment with a combination of candid shots and professional (posed) shots. Collin's personality fit perfectly with ours and made us feel completely comfortable during this once in a lifetime moment. We loved our pictures so much that we have hired Collin as our wedding photographer and I can't wait to see what he does next!
Perfection! Collin shot our engagement photos and this is the only word that can describe how the photos turned out AND our amazing experience! Like most couple this was the first ...
time we had our photos professionally taken, and we were a bit nervous to say the least. As soon as Collin arrived, his overall demeanor put us at ease and his enthusiasm and love for what he does created such an exciting afternoon! We loved working with Collin and can’t wait for him to shoot our wedding day in February!
Collin is above and beyond talented and captured our wedding in settings beyond what I could have imagined. We had our wedding in May at the Broadmoor in Colorado Springs where he ...
flew to from Chicago and scouted out the most breathtaking photos. Not only is he so talented at what he does, with a unique eye in photography beyond any other wedding photos I have seen, Collin also gave us the best contact of our planner Heather Dwight with Calluna Events who we never would have found if it weren't for him. The two of them collaborated together making the process both easy for me as the bride and run smoothly to ensure we captured all that I visioned and more. I can't even think of another photographer I'd go to in the future. I also would recommend him 1,000% to anyone no matter where your location is or the occasion. Collin thank you for capturing the best day of our life above and beyond what I could of wished for.
Collin is the most talented photographer there is in the wedding industry in Chicago. I do not know much about photography but after seeing Collins work in our introduction meeting...
I knew no one else compared. We went to many other fancy studios and nothing compared to the photo albums Collin showed us. Our pictures just came back and I am inundated with text messages asking who took our wedding photos. Collin is top tier! highly, highly recommend.
Without Collin I'm not sure how we would have captured so many great shots in what felt like such a short amount of time on our wedding day! We had a 200-person new years eve weddi...
ng at a Chicago hotel with below zero temps outside. His input, ability to capture the most special moments regardless of what's going on around him, and knowledge of Chicago landscape and venues is priceless - his expertise in these areas became extremely helpful working under unpredictable weather/temps. He managed to capture amazing shots of us outside which we didn't think would be possible given the negative temps...maybe one day my toes will defrost - kidding! Collin ensured our important requested shots were taken yet he threw in a lot of his own ideas which we loved. Working with Collin was fun, easy, and and very much worth it; He delivered sneak peak photos in just hours post-wedding - every bride's dream! Thank you for everything you did to make our day so special, Collin.
I highly recommend Collin Pierson. He did my husband and I's engagement photos all around Italy. He was wonderful to work with. The amount of time and creativity he put into each s...
hot was incredible. The poses were so natural and effortless. He was patient, unique, and classic. I hope to work with him again someday!
Collin took my Wife and I’s engagement photos in Italy. He was a true professional and very creative. The photos turned out absolutely amazing. Collin was worth the investment and ...
we will be able to cherish our photos forever
Being a wedding photographer myself, choosing someone to shoot my own wedding was not a decision I made without considerable deliberation. Going with Collin was a good choice. He...
captured our day thoroughly and professionally.
We had guests coming up to us throughout the day telling us what a great job he was doing. He was able to capture those candid moments we were looking for as well as help direct and pose us for the formal shots.
I would absolutely recommend Collin to capture your wedding!
Not in a million years did I think that all of the friends and family coming up to me saying "where did you find this guy, he's amazing!" would be talking about my photographer and...
not my brand new husband. Collin and my now husband James developed a professional friendship over the past few years and I heard nothing but wonderful things about Collin as a person and a photographer. I enjoyed looking through his portfolio and hoped one day we could use him at our wedding. Not only was Collin available, he was eager to work with us, and he seemed genuinely excited to be a part of our day. Collin showed extreme patience with my lack of being serious in certain poses and was a joy to be around the entire day. He will go through any lengths to get certain shots... not limited to falling off of a log or getting his fancy shoes wet at sunset. Guests have been asking for the past few weeks when they will see more photos, and I'm looking forward to seeing the magic he happened to capture on our more than perfect day.
Collin is amazing! We were very fortunate to be able to work with him. When Collin shoots for a wedding, it’s not just some wedding gig to him. It’s his passion and you can see tha...
t in his photos. Our first photo shoot with Collin was our engagement photos. My husband did not want to do theses at all, but Collin convinced us and it was the best decision we could have made! Collin took the time to get to know us and then put together an entire production. We had a theme, a crew, and locations ready to go. He even got me Couture dresses to wear! He taught us how to pose and take great pictures together which helped us on our wedding day. Our wedding and engagement pictures are amazing, and so timeless! Our house is full of them! Thank you Collin!!!
Collin is awesome. Clients love his eye for beauty, attention to detail and professional manner.
I have worked with him on photo shoots and events and he is the best!
I can sing Collin's praises all day. He truly an artist and so good at what he does. I have had the pleasure of working with Collin for multiple events and he is fantastic. He has ...
a great eye for detail and will not rest until he gets the perfect shot every single time. He is great with giving direction which is a plus for me because I never know what to do with my hands. His style, patience and eye for perfection is truly impressive and I always excited to work with him and event mote thrilled when i see the images. Its a TREAT! If you are seeking a photographer that will not not just stick a camera in your face and click away, then Collin is your go to. He is very professional, details and a delight to be around. HIRE HIM!!! You wont regret it.
We love working with Collin and so do our brides! He has photographed numerous runways for us as well as our salon events. Whenever we have referred him to our brides they have a...
