“DETAILS, I LOVE MADLY IN THE DETAILS.”

Colleen Anne Lennehan

My intrigue for photography began at a young age, and over the last twenty plus years it has blossomed into a true passion. I find it so important to document your legacy. I cherish any old family photos I can get my hands on and ultimately, I am driven by the fact that I can capture life’s biggest moments.

Though my work is for those both near and far, I consistently photograph weddings along the East Coast, primarily in CT, NY, and RI.
I am incredibly inspired by beauty in all forms; paintings, gardens, an antique diamond ring, a soft touch between soulmates. We are surrounded by it everywhere, especially during events celebrating love.

One of my favourite little quotes is “It’s delightful when your imaginations come true, isn’t it?” by L.M. Montgomery, and that’s what I want each client to feel when they view their gallery. Seeing your vision, passion, and love documented in an effortless way—a mix of editorial and candid photographs—and being able to pass down your memories for years to come is a true dream for me.

“A true GEM inside and out is the only word to describe Colleen. She is beyond talented in her craft. We knew we had to work with Colleen when we saw her work but got so much more than just beautiful photos.”

If I have a free Sunday I would spend it …
don’t you just adore Sundays? So slow and warm. Mine would be spent with a little bit of nature, perhaps a morning stroll along the water or through a garden. Then an afternoon with my family (I have 8 siblings!) and an early evening of something relaxing. Perhaps playing the piano (I just started lessons in 2022), reading, or a little floral designing.
My most memorable travel experience was …
oh, this is easy! I took my mom to Charleston, SC recently, it was her first flight ever (remember, eight kids, not too much time for travel), and she was in awe. We enjoyed every second and soaked in all the beauty CHS has to offer.
What I love most about my job is …
creating heirloom items that will be passed down for decades to come and making new friendships. My clients often turn into forever friends, we meet for dinners and chat on the phone-I love not only being there on your wedding day as a source of calm and creativity, but letting that bond grow and grow once the champagne is long gone and the music comes to an end.
I love where I live because …
one day I can be roaming museums in NYC and the next I’ll be walking the grounds of a Newport mansion. I am close to everything beautiful. Beaches, museums, quaint New England towns, bustling little cities. I not only get to see it all, but I get to feel it all with four beautiful seasons. 
My favourite movie is …
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. It’s a family favourite, you actually have to quote the entire movie before you’re allowed in the house for Christmas dinner…

There are not enough words to describe how much of a joy Colleen is to work with. In the early stages of wedding planning, as a result of the immense competition in the industry, I found myself overwhelmed & stressed about who I should entrust capturing my big day. Through just a short & sweet introductory conversation about my vision, etc., I felt at ease with Colleen: She is extremely personable, a true doll, and radiates so much light & excitement when speaking of a day that she gets to lead. From that very point forward, she has truly felt like a friend. Her talent in front & behind the camera is unmatched; Colleen is a strong communicator, super detail-oriented, and prepared always. She made sure to scope out our rehearsal dinner venue as well as our wedding venue before any event began, to ensure she was capturing our closest friends & family in the best light. I would be remiss if I didn't highlight Colleen's timeliness as well. On our ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY, Colleen had our ENTIRE wedding gallery ready for us to relive. Every bride's dream. If my words above didn't make this clear, Colleen was an absolute dream to work with, and we will forever cherish all of the special moments she captured on the most important day of our lives.

Colleen is a DREAM! We worked with her for our December 2023 wedding and she is talented, professional, timely and delightful to work with. She has a very kind, calm, lovely presence, and made everyone feel at ease on the wedding day and during our engagement session. Many friends in the wedding commented on how lovely she was and how easy she made it all feel! She made us all feel so special and worked us to find out our vision for the day. After working with her during the year, she became a friend I was excited to see on the wedding weekend! Colleen is not only a delight to be around but incredibly talented. She is an artist. I absolutely love her work from her portraits to candids, and her incredibly special detail shots. Her photos are gorgeous, romantic and timeless. I am in love with our wedding gallery and we are so grateful we got to work with Colleen. I could go on!

We are so grateful for Colleen's amazing work. She is professional, organized, easy to work with and will do everything she can to meet your photo needs on your special day. The communication was thorough and clear. In the midst of such a busy and hectic day, Colleen made us feel at ease. (She didn't even hesitate to pull out a huge moth that crawled down my dress!!!) She is talented at her craft and you can see the passion she has for her work. We loved the fact that she uses film too. We are in love with all our wedding day photos and will cherish them forever. We highly, highly recommend Colleen for your photos!
