    Review for Colin & Abbie – Wedding Photography Dream Team

    Where do I even begin? Colin and Abbie were so much more than just our wedding photographers – they genuinely felt like part of the celebration from the moment they arrived. Their energy, warmth, and professionalism made everyone feel comfortable, and it honestly felt like we had two more friends at our wedding rather than vendors.

    Colin is a man of many talents – not only did he capture every special moment with creativity and care, but he also had some serious dress-fluffing skills and even busted out a few dance moves while still holding the camera! Abbie was equally incredible – calm, thoughtful, and always in the right place at the right time with the perfect shot. Together, they were a seamless duo and brought such a fun, relaxed vibe to the day.

    Colin stayed with us for nearly 12 hours and not once did he complain – even after a long day, he was still laughing and chatting with us like we’d known each other for years. We shared so many great conversations and laughs throughout the day, and by the end, it truly felt like we had made new friends.

    They also really appreciated the little goody bags I made for them, which made me so happy – because they gave us so much more in return.

    If you’re looking for photographers who are talented, kind, professional, and genuinely care about making your day amazing, look no further. Colin and Abbie are simply the best.

    (We only have the sneak peek photos at the moment but really looking forward to what’s to come)

    Colin Lavery photography for our wedding 💒

    Despite the cold weather, and mix of rain and sunshine, we enjoyed every minute of our outdoor shoot. Colins speed and precision were impressive, and he made the experience enjoyable, he was great that he didn’t let the weather stop us from getting the good shots.

    communication from Colin has just been spot on from start to finish, and always very helpful will answer all you’re questions, Colin is very reassuring and keeps you as a couple feel very comfortable and relaxed.

    Colin has captured the natural look at our request and what an incredible job he has done indeed! We are obsessed with our photos and memories that we now have for a life time he really told the story of our day, we couldn’t ask for anything more.

    1000% recommend Colin Lavery photography another big thank you for being a part of our special day! love from Mr & Mrs Blackie

    Colin is the absolute best!

    Even before we booked a photographer and were just conducting inquiries he was incredibly helpful and provided us with all information we needed to confidently go ahead with him for our special day. We had a meeting around a month before the wedding where he answered any questions we had and it reassured us that he understood us and what we wanted our day to be like. As my husband is a little shy in front of the camera he offered to meet us the day before to take some test photos and most importantly get us both comfortable. This helped us massively and getting to meet in person then rather than on the actual day was a lovely touch.
    Colin is an amazingly talented photographer and we now have the most stunning photos that we love looking at. But on top of that he is really kind, professional and so friendly. He was at our venue for around 12hrs and even at the very end he was on his feet, going from place to place taking some incredible shots.
    We couldn’t have picked a better photographer for our wedding and we had quite a few guests ask for his details for when they get married. Thanks again Colin!

    Couldn't have gone any better!

    Colin did a full day shoot of our wedding at The Orchard in Maidstone in September from bridal prep to first dance and we are so pleased we booked in with him!

    From the first meeting with Colin, he made us feel completely at ease and is so easy to get along with which added so much value to our whole day. We loved the natural and candid styles of his photos and it was definitely the style we wanted, nothing too posed.

    Colin has been very responsive and fantastic at communicating too, he also managed to get the photos turned around to us quickly, including getting a few sneak peeks over to us the same night as the wedding (as he knew he was going to be away for the next few days/week).

    Thank you Colin! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others :)

    Jade and Liam’s Wedding Aug 24

    Colin was exactly what we needed on our wedding day. His photos really captured the true essence of our day as he blended in with our family and friends to take REAL photos. We of course have our professional pictures of the two of us that Colin took (which we love!) but it’s Colin’s method of capturing the moments throughout the day that we love the most!

    Putting the photos aside, Colin was very professional whilst maintaining a friendly and warming relationship. Colin was very helpful with helping us plan the timings of the day and made things very easy for us.

    Fantastic photographer and person

    We reached out to Colin, and from the very first meeting he was very invested in getting to know us so he could understand who we were and what we were looking for on the day. On the day itself, all I can say is you couldn’t differentiate Colin from the family, he celebrated with us in a completely non intrusive way. We sought Colin out because he had that je ne sais quoi in his photography skills, and he certainly did not disappoint on the pictures delivered. For Colin, it seemed like each wedding is a unique celebration not just another job, and this comes across in abundance. He is incredibly personable, professional and delivers on his promises, what more can one ask for.

    Colin is fantastic!

    Colin produced high-quality photos for our wedding. We couldn’t have had a better photographer than Colin. He went out of his way to make our guests feel happy and comfortable. He just has a natural way of being able to work with a crowd. His photos are incredibly high-quality and we were absolutely blown away with the results. If you’re thinking about getting a Wedding Photographer we can’t recommend Collin enough. He was fantastic!

    Loveliest photographer

    Colin and his partner were so lovely and think genuinely the kindest people I’ve ever met! Not only that but the photos were everything we wanted and more! Loved seeing the drying descend into madness!
