COLTOn Simmons Photography

Experience

Reviews from our clients, our studio by the numbers, and what exactly makes a Colton Simmons bride.

"Colton effortlessly captured our Springhouse Hotel wedding on Block Island!"

He delivered us 40 incredible photos a day after our wedding that had us screaming! And did I mention he even stayed late to accommodate our timeline? He was so organized and such a joy to work with the entire day…..and I quickly learned how important that was, since next to your partner, your photographer is who you spend most of the day with! He was also a joy to work with leading up to the wedding - sending encouraging texts and checking in. We joked that when Colton had to wrangle us and warn us that he was gonna seriously crank through some family/bridal party photos, kinder words couldn’t have been spoken. He perfectly toes the line between time keeper and flexible partner. And he’s a great thought partner when planning - asking all the right questions and organizing everything you share so that you won’t be thinking “Oh I have to get a picture with grandpa” on the day-of. He’s got it covered. If anyone is reading this - book him NOW! You won’t regret it.

"Colton traveled with us to photograph our wedding in Cancun!"

Colton never hesitates to make sure you are anything but happy. Everyone is blown away at his professionalism and humility.

"Hiring Colton is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding"

 As people who are photo shy, Colton put us at ease, providing us direction when needed and focusing on candid shots for the rest of the time. During our reception, we said to each other how glad we were that we hired Colton. His level of organization, attention to detail, and easy going personality put us completely at ease. Our wedding party also kept telling us how impressive and on top of things Colton was. We knew we were in good hands when we saw his beautiful photographs and booked him, but we could not have fully appreciated how true that was until the wedding day. Book Colton. You will not regret it.

Jamie & Matthew

Colton was absolutely exceptional in every single way. we would recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced, authentic, approachable, wedding, photographer.

His work truly speaks for itself. He made us feel comfortable on our wedding day and helped coach us through the formal photos. He listened to our request for more candid and less posed photos as well. We are absolutely in love with the photos, and will live through them for years to come!

Frequently asked questions

Where are you located?

I am based out of Newport, RI & Florida's West Coast, servicing Newport, Boston, Sarasota, Tampa, Fort Myers & Beyond!

What is your Average Turnaround time?

EASY. My goal as your wedding photographer is to help you be at ease during your entire planning process as well as helping you to be your authentic self. I mix in my ability to make friends with anyone and my instruction to help you break down all fears your may have, to make you as comfortable as possible in front of the camera. I tell couples that when I am leaving your wedding, my goal is that it should feel like a longtime friend is heading out for the evening.

What is it like working with you?

My average turnaround time for my galleries is about 2-3 months. I edit my galleries on a first come first serve basis, so as I am continuing to photograph weddings, I edit them one at a time.

How Much do you Charge?

My base package starts at $5,600 and then scales up from there. If you’d like more information and a more in-depth investment guide, please fill out my contact form here.

How many photos can we expect in our final gallery?

My goal in every wedding gallery is to tell your story and not try to hit number quotas. With that being said, I try to deliver anywhere from 60 to 100 photos for every hour that I am shooting at a wedding. Travel and dinner time can affect these final numbers but I always aim to make sure each client is satisfied.

Have You Shot at my Venue Before?

I have shot at over a hundred different venues and locations, so the chances are that I have shot at your venue in the past. If I haven’t, with my level of experience I can ensure that I can successfully capture your wedding day, regardless of my experience at the specific location.
