Coley is amazing and captured our day perfectly. I get really anxious about getting my picture taken, but she is so easy to connect to and makes it feel natural. I couldn’t recommend her more. Coley is fun, personable, outgoing and made everyone feel comfortable. I would hire her over and over again!

Kind Words from my Couples
Wedding party members walk down stone steps while rose petals fall at a greek orthodox wedding in Salt Lake City. Utah wedding photographer.

Working with Coley was a breath a fresh air. We are absolutely thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out! Coley did an incredible job capturing every moment - from the big, emotional highlights to the fun, candid shots that perfectly reflect our day. From the beginning she took the time to get to know us and personalize our experience to get exactly what we wanted! She made us feel so comfortable and special in front of the camera. Her energy was contagious, light-hearted, and professional all at once which made working with her seem effortless.


She delivered hundreds and hundreds of amazing photos, capturing a unique part of our story in every one. Her package options were robust, fairly priced, and in the end worth every single penny.


We would recommend Coley a hundred times over - she truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable.

Kind Words From My Couples

Coley photographed our engagements, bridals, wedding, AND sealing. Each shoot exceeded my expectations. Coley selected the most beautiful spots for our engagement and bridal photos--she has DEFINITELY done her research as far as spectacular environments go. I was somewhat uncomfortable with how I'd look in my photos, but Coley is SO talented. She found the most flattering angles for myself and my husband and I am incredibly grateful for that--I am so excited to display these photos in my home.

There’s something magical about a Utah wedding surrounded by big mountain views, fresh alpine air, and golden evening light.


I especially love photographing mountain resort weddings, ranch venues, and elevated Utah celebrations where the entire weekend becomes an unforgettable experience for you and your guests.


Think cozy luxury, beautiful details, a little adventure, and a dance floor that stays alive all night.


Whether your celebration is modern, classic, deeply traditional, or completely your own, I’ll document it with heart, intention, and the kind of energy that keeps everything feeling fun and effortless.
