“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” | Mary Oliver

Plenty. Everything and anything that involves natural beauty and genuine love. I feel that I must start off my introduction by placing emphasis on the words natural and genuine. I feel as though I am most myself when I am in awe of things. It could be a sweet moment between a husband and wife or sitting under an arbor drenched in roses. I love the details. 

My name, as you must know by now, is Colleen, and I am a natural light wedding photographer based on the East Coast. What you might not know is that I have eight siblings! I am third in the lineup of 5 girls and 4 boys. Ever since a young age I loved documenting things and observing, I think probably because I had such a wide range of people to watch. I now enjoy the little moments of a wedding day just as much as the “main” ones. 

My favorite moments of any wedding are: the details, the portraits, and the second “first kiss”. 

Aside from weddings and photography, I am always impressed by the written word. Quotes and old love letters, there is just something so pure and intentional about them. I love spending days off strolling through old antique stores or basking in the sun at the beach. 

A few of my top places to unwind are:

-Harkness Park

-Essex, CT

-Charleston, SC

What I love to do in my downtime:

-Garden/floral design

-Read (has to be a really good book)

-Spend time with family and friends

-Daydream

Ultimately, I love the leisurely aspects of life. You should enjoy good company in good places and feed your soul with what you love to do.
