the photos yet, but it has only been two weeks. The sneak peak pictures he posted for us to look at are PERFECT! Can't go wrong with Colson.

to offer a visceral opinion. Perhaps my favorite aspect of working with Colson is his friendly, laid-back approach to poses and settings. He captured many beautiful shots without us ever knowing he was there. In addition, Colson has a remarkable knack for capturing expressions and emotions so perfectly that looking at the photos takes me right back to that day and I’m living it all over again! To me, this is critical in selecting the right photographer. After reviewing Colson’s gallery we knew that we’d found the best in Colson. We hired Colson one year before our wedding and immediately scheduled our engagement photo session. We selected Villa Montalvo for that location. It included a park, formal gardens, nature preserve and concert venue. This gave us many options for backgrounds and Colson made the most of all of them. We brought him to Las Vegas with us to shoot our wedding preparations and reception. Unfortunately the venue we chose supplied their own photographer so our actual ceremony shots were not shot by Colson. However, he documented perfectly our preparations, transitions and celebrations. Colson accompanied me to my makeup and hair session and captured some wonderful memories! At his suggestion, we chose to have our formal portraits taken before the ceremony. We did this in our gorgeous suite and included my children in this experience. The result was beautiful wedding and family portraits! Colson was with me right before the ceremony, in the bride’s room, and not only documented the moments but chatted with me to keep me calm. What a treasure! Colson did an excellent job of capturing all our significant moments & memories during the reception! Many of our guests shared with us how comfortable he made them feel while shooting them and the final results showed just that! We finished up the night with more portraits in front of the 70,000 gallon aquarium located in the Chart House Restaurant. It was a beautiful, magical and memorable day! Thank you Colson for capturing the precious moments that we will treasure forever!
