Reviews of Colin Gordon Photography (Photo Studio)

Chad Lock

Colin is an OUTSTANDING photographer. Super responsive and one of the nicest people out there. He captures every moment that you didn't even know needed to be captured. Highly recommend!!!!

We booked Colin in April 2019 for our August 2020 wedding. From the beginning, Colin was very responsive in getting us a quote and setting up our engagement photos. He made us feel so relaxed during our engagement shoot (starting with a drink at Coles!) and our pictures turned out stunning. We absolutely cannot WAIT for Colin to shoot our summer wedding! We know that we are in great hands. I would recommend Colin to any engaged couple for their wedding!! He is so talented and absolutely fantastic to work with :)

Colin took several photos of me and my at-the-time boyfriend in Salem, MA and Hull, MA, two beautiful coastal towns outside Boston. Despite having never been to either town, he scoped out the most stunning and scenic backdrops that captured the essence of each town. His photos paused a special moment which I will be able to cherish for the rest of my life. I am always amazed by Colin's ability to capture photos in such low light. When I capture something on my camera in low light, my photos look like they've been pulled out of a bucket of sand. I am green with envy in his abilities but that’s why you hire professionals for the important events. I would hire Colin again in a heartbeat. Candidly, anyone who hesitates to hire him is making a mistake. I don't want to say, "book now!" because it feels so lame to write on a review but you should definitely book him now.

Colin did a photoshoot for my surprise engagement and was wonderful to work with! My fiance and I can be quite camera shy, but he made us feel very comfortable and our photos came out amazing. He knows some awesome places in Buffalo as well to capture cool photos. Highly recommend him and would book again in a heartbeat!

If you are currently searching for a photographer, you can stop the search. You found the right guy. Colin is by the far the best photographer to go with. We booked Colin for our wedding. His photos are absolutely incredible and also Colin is just a great guy. Someone you want around for your wedding day. His photos do such a good job of telling the story of the entire day from start to finish. We went with his highest package and it was worth every penny. He kept us on time, prompt and reminded us of things we might have missed. If you want someone to capture the best moments of your day, Colin is your person.

Colin is the type of a person that starts as a wedding vendor and ends up as a friend. 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. On the day of our wedding, we had SO much fun with him and his second shooter, Heather. 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. I made most of our wedding decorations myself and he made sure to take extra care to photograph everything so I have beautiful memories for years to come. 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!

Ashley Rovner-Watson

Colin was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding day. He was so kind, so fun, and so creative, that he captured our wedding day in absolutely stunning fashion. We highly recommend Colin for any and all photography needs because he will capture the joy, love, and beauty of any occasion, especially weddings. Our photos will last a lifetime and allow us to cherish the best day of our lives for years and years to come. Thank you so much Colin!

Michelle Glynn

I met Colin Gordon at a family wedding and knew he would do a fantastic job at our daughter's first birthday. With a calm and professional manner, he was able to capture three generations in sentimental and joyful poses, during hectic moments immediately before a party. It was a pleasure working with him. I am already thinking about future events he could photograph for us.

Brighid Gavin

Look no further for your photographer. Colin captures timeless moments with family, friends, city scapes, etc. The attention to detail and precision is evident in his work. Colin finds the moments in between the staged photographs which truly highlight the ambience of your special occasion. His pictures will bring your memories back to life. Not to mention, Colin is very down to earth and easy to work with. Book him now!

Bridget Aliaga

Colin's talents are truly unmatched. He is professional, friendly, and goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and confident to get the best shots. Coming from a couple who is awkward in front of the camera, Colin surpassed both of our expectations for our engagement shoot. The photos were so beautiful and candid and captured us better than we could have ever imagined. Thanks Colin!

Kari Swimline

Colin Gordon is worth EVERY PENNY. He was extremely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and responded to all of my questions/emails promptly. He made my husband and me feel comfortable during the entire process, from engagement photos to wedding day. Colin was directive when needed but also went unnoticed when capturing candid photos. I couldn’t believe how many beautiful photos were taken without me noticing. I am also extremely happy with Colin’s editing – the photos have a classic yet modern feel. I have zero regrets hiring Colin and would highly recommend him to anyone. I look forward to looking at our wedding album for years to come!

Colin was so amazing to work with. Our vision was executed perfectly. His work is timeless and will be with us forever. Such a great way to capture the day. Colin himself was so personable and helpful and knows how to make you feel like the most beautiful person ever which is how you should feel as a bride! And so helpful after the wedding and leading up to it too. I can’t recommend him enough.

Christian Martinez

Colin did our engagement photos at Niagara-on-the-Lake and we couldn’t be happier with the turn out. I recommend Colin to all of my friends and family. Thank you!

CJ Cook

I've used Colin for a number of different projects over the years. His work is truly art. He's also very professional, coordinated, and pleasant to deal with.

Shannon Brown

My husband and I got married back in June, and I couldn’t imagine having anyone but Colin capture the day. Last September, we did our engagement photos with Colin and we knew immediately we made the absolute best choice in choosing him for our big day. I am SO awkward in front of a camera, but Colin made it easy and, honestly, we all forgot he was there a majority of the time. He made things fun, non-complicated and it felt like I was working with a friend, rather than a stranger with a camera in my face. He captured every little, genuine moment I could have hoped for, the photos are stunning and I find myself scrolling through them on a daily basis. We have gotten endless compliments about the photos and we feel so lucky to have incredible shots to remember our wedding. Colin is one of the most genuine humans I have ever met, and our wedding day wouldn’t have been remotely close to the same without him.

Amy Shults

Colin did our engagement and wedding photos and did an amazing job! We literally have hundreds of beautiful photos from our wedding that we will cherish forever! Many family members and friends commented on how much they enjoyed our photographer and our pictures.

Erin Collins

Colin did beautiful headshots for me and made me feel totally at ease. He’s also awesome to work with and a great communicator. Will definitely be working with him again!

Sarah Angelica

My (then) fiancé and I were on a family vacation to Buffalo and decided we wanted to have our engagement pictures while we were there. Colin was an absolute delight. He was very relaxed and professional, making our time together so incredibly enjoyable. He has such a creative eye and tried all sorts of different types of shots. We were floored when we saw the absolutely beautiful pictures that he took. They were vibrant, colorful, and totally captured our relationship. Even though it was for only our engagement pictures, Colin dedicated a lot of time to making them perfect. Now that we are married and living in our new house, we have just as many engagement pictures as we do wedding. They are timeless, perfect pictures we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We hope to return to Buffalo and hire Colin again at some point. He’s just the absolute best.

Brenna Gordon

Colin consistently does a fantastic job of taking headshots for me & I've used him for at least the last 10 years. I'm VERY busy all the time so I appreciate that he is very punctual arriving at the shoot and sets proper expectations as to when I will receive the final copies. Thanks colin! ????

Ryan Frawley

Colin was funny and professional and took some awesome portraits of my dog and I!

Chris Wang

Our wedding photos from Colin and Heather were absolutely stunning. Every time I look at these photos, I relive my wedding day. The camera angles, color palette, and the level of details of the photos were impeccable. I would recommend Colin and Heather without reservations.

Caralyn Mirand

Colin is an incredible photographer. He was kind, patient and open to trying anything! Colin made our wedding day a breeze with his professionalism and vision. He is DEFINITELY one to watch-!

Maeve Losito

He was incredibly professional and his excitement for the day was palpable. The quality and quantity of photos is beyond measure. I’m already thinking of more projects to do just for more amazing pictures!

Amanda Larson

From the very start, I got good vibes from Colin. Not only is he super responsive and personable, but he definitely exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding. He is the one who recommended that we get clear bubble umbrellas, as a back up plan for rain, and it made for some of the most amazing pictures. He is super fun to work with, so beyond talented, loves his job, and it totally shows in his work. We had our engagement session outside during a BLIZZARD, and he still managed to take beautiful photos, and had nice music playing in the background from his bag, to distract us from the fact that our toes were literally frozen! On our wedding, he was right on time and is really good under stress, like when it started down pouring during our photos, or when the wedding party is getting a little out of control. He makes you feel totally comfortable and creates an amazing product. I highly recommend him!

Angie A

Colin is a good friend of ours and he shot our engagement pictures and made us feel so comfortable! It was our first time in front of a professional photographer's camera so naturally we were nervous but Colin coached us on what to do and made us feel comfortable. He captures some amazing photos with beautiful natural light. He was a pleasure to work with!

Allie Freeburg

Colin photographed our wedding in 2017 and we had no doubt we wanted to use him again when we wanted to get family pictures taken. He is so easy to work with and you don't feel like you're posing. The quality of his photos is superb and I love how many photos you get in your gallery! Colin is also extremely quick to respond to emails and was kind enough to send me photos early to use for Christmas cards. He will always be our go-to photographer. I can't recommend him enough!

Laura Douglas

Colin did a phenomenal job on our photos. He was incredibly adaptable and professional. He made us feel comfortable, gave us suggestions on props and locations, and was very easy to talk to. The photos were beautiful and we will treasure them forever. Thank you Colin!

Jonathan Ieraci

Colin was so great to work with and provided the most amazing engagement and wedding photos! He took the time to get to know us as a couple and it really came through in the photos he took! Leading up to our wedding he met with us multiple times to make sure he knew exactly what shots were most important to us and made sure he captured them thoroughly. We would absolutely recommend using Colin!!

Tanner Gelatt

I've worked with Colin on a number of different shoots, primarily for weddings and for personal use. His ability to see the perfect angle for any shot is parallel to almost no one. Not only is he immensely talented, his professionalism is of the highest caliber. He works quickly and efficiently to ensure that your goals are met. The standards that he holds himself to, I’m sure will result in unique special photographs that will make yours stand out. With his diverse portfolio he will remain my go to photographer for everything.

Tenae Connell

I have had such great experiences with Colin Gordon Photography. For our engagement shoot he made us feel comfortable, relaxed and photos were incredible! I highly recommend booking for any event or photoshoot.

Erin Pender

We have worked with Colin for several years now. Family photo sessions inspire stress in even the calmest of mothers but he just lets us be us and captures us perfectly. We will be forever grateful to him for capturing our family in multiple stages of life ????

Colton Wright

I shot video alongside of Colin on a wedding shoot in Buffalo. Before recognizing his talent and eye for photography - He was polite, genuine, and professional. To me, this kind of positive attitude in the wedding photography business is worth its weight in gold. Hope to work around Colin again soon!

Matthew Davis

Colin, was very responsive in the pre sitting communication, his work is outstanding and we are very pleased with the end result. He is willing to meet you anywhere you feel you will look your best, he makes the sittings fun and stress free. He is highly recommended.

Tara Lakeman

Colin photographed our wedding in October 2017 and was AMAZING! We could not have wished for a better experience. His ability to capture the real moments of joy, love, and emotion without you even realizing he is photographing you is truly astounding. He was responsive and easy to work with throughout the whole process. I cannot stress how highly I would recommend him.

Rosellen Marohn

Colin photographed our COVID minimony wedding in August of 2020. He did an amazing job documenting the day with photos we will cherish for a lifetime. Though our wedding was drastically different than we originally planned, Colin was flexible, understanding, and caring as we worked through the necessary changes. We are so grateful we had Colin as our photographer. He is a wiz behind the camera, but more importantly Colin is an amazing person who made us feel at ease the entire day. We could not have asked for a better photographer!

Ryan O'Laughlin

We hired Colin Gordon Photography for two reasons. One is obvious, the other is not. First, Colin's photos are incredible - that's obvious, at least to us. They are clear and capture the moment unlike any other photographer we reviewed in choosing our wedding vendors. The second is less obvious. Colin supports the LGTBQ+ community and we felt comfortable with him from the first meet-up before our Engagement shoot up until the moment his team left the Admiral Room at 11pm on November 2 - and, believe me, this feeling continues to present day. We couldn't be more grateful to Colin and his team for making our day picture-perfect. The memories will be cherished for a lifetime.

Danielle Stewart

Colin’s pictures are absolutely the best. He has an amazing eye for photography and thanks to him we have hundreds of stunning pictures to remember our wedding day. Colin was such a pleasure to work with, I felt very at ease the day of my wedding because he took care of everything. Could not recommend him enough.

Alex Briand

Colin did a fantastic job making our engagement photo shoot an enjoyable experience. He had planned out several options for fun locations around downtown Buffalo taking into account our preferences. The shoot itself had a smooth and casual flow and he continued to take great candid photos throughout the night after the formal shoot. After the event, Colin edited his photos in timely fashion and they turned out perfect. Highly recommend Colin Gordon Photography!

Daulton Van Kuren

I have had the opportunity to work with Colin for a few of my client's weddings (I am a wedding planner!) and he absolutely knocks it out of the park! His calm, yet exciting energy really allows my couples to fully relax and be themselves in front of the camera, which is a skill that is not easily learned. He is timely on the wedding day and follows the very detailed Timeline to make sure no moment is missed. His turnaround time is incredible and my couples love seeing the sneak peek of images shared on his blog shortly after the wedding. Cannot wait for him to capture many more beautiful weddings for my clients!

Alexandra Miller

I’m mad at myself for taking so long to let everyone know what an incredible photographer Colin is. From the day we hired Colin he was so incredibly responsive. He helped us pick the perfect location for photos after our ceremony. I always thought wedding photos would feel weird and uncomfortable but that was not the case with Colin. He made the entire process so fun. After the wedding he was so awesome in sending me some photos early to use for thank you notes. When we got our photos I was in awe-they were better than I could have ever dreamed! He managed to capture everything through a beautiful, classic and artistic lens. Brides and grooms look no further! I am so thankful we made the decision to hire Colin—thank you again and again for capturing our big day!

Kimberly Mazur

I can say with confidence that booking with Colin was the best wedding vendor decision my husband and I made. In the beginning of planning, we searched through dozens of photographers’ work, but something kept drawing us back to Colin’s photos. As someone who postponed due to covid I had many worries and what-ifs, but knew that regardless of what happened, we’d still be able to get amazing photos, because we had Colin as our photographer. Colin is personable, professional, and trustworthy. I feel honored to have been one of his clients, he’s an incredible photographer and person, and I will always recommend him!

Vinny Croglio

Extremely professional and top notch quality. Would recommend to anyone.

Mackenzie Mullins

Colin and his assistant did the most amazing job capturing our New Year’s Eve Wedding! The pictures came out beautifully, beyond our expectations! He was SO easy to work with, has a great vision, very professional, flexible, and creative!

Nate Howell

Top notch quality. I hired Colin to shoot some professional photos of a concert/music event. He did a phenomenal job and was awesome to work with. Would happily hire him again, and would recommend him for any special occasion that you want captured on film. 10/10
