For over a decade, I’ve had the privilege of documenting hundreds of weddings across Western New York and beyond. My approach to photography is rooted in true-to-life, documentary storytelling. I don’t believe in forcing stiff poses or staging fake moments; I believe your wedding gallery should feel exactly like your day actually felt – raw, cinematic, and entirely authentic.
The secret to preserving that level of authenticity is simple: making sure you feel completely at ease. The best, most natural photographs happen when you feel like you are just hanging out with a friend who happens to take amazing photos. As a gay business owner, my biggest priority is ensuring that every single couple I work with feels celebrated, safe, and entirely comfortable being unapologetically themselves in front of my camera.
When I’m not behind the lens, I live right here in downtown Buffalo with my husband and our dog. You can usually find us out hunting down the best Thai food in the city or grabbing a mezcal cocktail at Casa Azul.
I thrive on documenting the energy of a great party so that you can simply stay fully present and enjoy every second of your day. If you are looking for a photographer who values heirloom-quality artwork just as much as a great slice of pizza, we are probably going to be a perfect fit.
"We had a non traditional wedding, with my husband being a photographer himself, we were very particular about who would be capture our wedding day! Colin has become a friend, the most genuine easy photographer to work with who really got to know who we are as a couple and how we wanted our wedding to look for years to come. Both of us work behind the camera and HATE having our pictures taken. He made it so easy and really was able to get beautiful pictures that represent the eccentric side of our personalities. We will forever hire Colin for any of our photography needs and are so happy to have him as a forever friend :) WE LOVE YOU COLIN!"
"He had been the photographer I knew I wanted for my wedding years before I even got engaged (I met him at a craft show and immediately fell in love with his work), and working with him was everything I had hoped for and more. He is prompt, professional, courteous, and understanding. My husband and I are both awkward at best in front of a camera, but he made us feel so at ease that it actually allowed us to enjoy having our photos taken. We ended up with hundreds of beautiful, clear, high-quality photos that made it difficult for us to choose just a few to have printed and displayed in our home. Beyond his insane talent and professionalism, Colin is a good human down to the core. He truly appreciates his clients and clearly loves what he does. Suffice to say, I would absolutely recommend him to anyone, regardless of the occasion!"
We cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Colin! Colin photographed both our engagement shoot and our wedding. Heading into the engagement shoot, we were both pretty nervous about being in front of the camera. Colin totally put us at ease and made it a really fun experience. He’s also someone we really enjoyed hanging out with! You spend so much time with your wedding photographer so having someone friendly, funny, and professional, like Colin, really adds to the vibe of the wedding day. We think that is what makes Colin such a great photographer and what leads to such authentic photos - he creates an environment where everyone is comfortable and he captures you as you really are. And our photos, engagement and wedding, are amazing!! Colin captured the day exactly as we remember it and we’re so happy to have these memories of such a great day. We 100% made the right choice with Colin and look forward to working with him again!
