Colby ( Principal Photographer/ Nostalgic Heart / Beauty Chaser )
Colby found photography quite young in life. When he was in middle school, he would spend summers photographing family members and basically anything that would sit still. Digital was new technology and he completely fell in love with the process. Growing up in a rural town in Georgia, no one thought twice about a 12 year old showing up to shoot weddings!
After high school, Colby moved to Atlanta to study at the Portfolio Center, where he gave up weddings for fashion-editorial photography. He’s been very fortunate to have traveled the world, won an award or two, and make some friends along the way. In 2015, he had the opportunity to travel to Sweden to photograph a friend's wedding and it reignited his passion for weddings. For Colby, weddings are a combo of his favorite things: telling stories, creating portraits, some fashion elements and spending time with people on their biggest day.
Something you may not know:
Second only to photography, Colby loves dancing. To witness him move through the dance floor while shooting a wedding is a sight to behold!
“Colby was absolutely phenomenal and I wish I could work with him every day! Colby was so generous, attentive, attuned and blended in perfectly, so his presence was barely felt all while capturing such intimacy and joy at our wedding. He made the entire process from start to finish such a genuine pleasure and would hire him again in an instant.“

“We had an incredible experience working with Colby for our wedding! From the start, we knew we wanted someone with a unique, non-traditional approach to wedding photography, and Colby’s style perfectly matched our vision. He captured the essence of our day in a spontaneous and organic way, while still bringing a curated, elevated touch that made every shot look amazing.
Colby was not only flexible and friendly but also truly invested in our concept. He immediately connected with our friends and family, blending right into the celebration. His skill with exterior and night-time photography, especially using flash, was impressive – every photo exudes energy and authenticity. Colby’s work speaks for itself, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!”

“Colby was extremely kind, easy to work with, and helpful in alleviating our stresses about photography leading up to our wedding. From our very first call, we loved his warm energy and enthusiasm for wedding photography. We love our wedding photos so much! It was important to us to be in the moment with our guests, capturing candid moments of the celebration, and Colby was so successful in this. Our families remarked on how seamlessly he moved about the wedding space, capturing everything. He made us feel comfortable, gave helpful directions, and handled our family dynamics with grace. We cannot recommend him enough — we've already recommended him to friends and look forward to seeing him at their wedding!”
