Passion
People are my passion. I’m a people person through and through—someone who thrives on genuine connection. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and at ease, creating a space where I can highlight and capture the very best parts of your relationship.
Style
I get asked all the time to describe my style, and honestly, it’s pretty simple. I lean into a documentary approach, capturing authentic, real moments that make you feel something even years from now. While my colors and edits are true to color, and my grainy black-and-white images add a timeless touch, I’ll step in with gentle direction when it’s needed to ensure you feel comfortable and beautifully guided.
Let's make your dream wedding a reality
I’m the founder of Colette Marie Photography (CMP), and I’m so proud of the love and heart behind this business. More than anything, I want you to know—I’ve got you. Trust is everything, and when you place that trust in me, you can be fully present on your wedding day, knowing every moment is being captured. My goal is for you to laugh, feel at ease, and focus on what matters most while I document the joy, love, and all the in-between moments that make your day unforgettable.
Because here’s the thing: when you let go of expectations and truly sink into the moment — that’s when the magic shows up. That’s when your wedding day becomes more than just an event; it becomes a memory you actually lived and felt with your whole heart.
If you don’t mind getting your dress a little dirty, if you’re down for butt squeezes, belly laughs that almost make you pee, and sneaky make-out sessions with your partner like no one else is around — you’re my kind of people. I’ll be there to catch every wild, joyful, tender, and ridiculously fun moment so you can relive it all exactly as it was: beautifully, imperfectly, you.
