xo, Colette

I'm here to document your day, the exact way that it is. Leaving the posing at the door, I put a huge emphasis on natural light, candid storytelling, and intimate moments. I want you to look back on your photos and be able to feel the way you did in that exact moment. 

Wilmington NC Wedding Photographer

Offering a classic style with a modern edge, I focus on documentary-style photography that tells the true story of your day. With an eye for the in-between moments, I'm able to create timeless, heartfelt photos. If you’re dreaming of wedding photographs that feel natural, genuine, and full of emotion, let’s connect and start planning how to capture your love story!

As a Wilmington NC wedding photographer, I love capturing raw and genuine moments for my couples. After becoming a wedding photographer almost six years ago, it has since become much more than a job of taking photos for people, it's about creating an experience for my couples that will last a lifetime. 

an experience that is luxury and elevated, yet still feels intimate and personal - one where your story is honored.
