Colby did a fantastic job with my pictures! I have a graduation coming up and he was able to meet us at a fantastic location he chose and took pictures for an hour with great picture ideas!!! He was able to get pictures back to us quickly and his editing abilities are fantastic! I’d recommend Colby for all your picture needs!!!

We hired Colby to create a new volunteer orientation video for our nonprofit. The video was clear and fresh- exactly what we needed! Colby was very great at communicating and executing our vision for the video. He also sent the video back to us in a timely manner and made sure he had EVERY shot and angle perfect. He even took extra shots for the editing process to make sure our video was perfect. He was very easy to work with!

We chose Colby as our videographer for our coastal wedding in Half Moon Bay on 9/2/23, and he was, without a doubt, one of our favorite vendors. From the beginning, we were incredibly impressed by his professionalism, talent, and personal approach. Colby took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple before the wedding, which made a huge difference on the big day. Even though he wasn't our photographer, we were so impressed with his work and how comfortable he made us feel that we knew we’d want to work with him again for future events—and boy, are we glad we did!

On the wedding day, Colby brought such a relaxed yet focused energy, which made everything seamless. He made the experience fun, capturing all of our most cherished moments in a breathtaking video. We still watch it regularly to reminisce! He also provided us with a fully edited video very quickly after the wedding, along with the most adorable keepsake—a wooden box with a handheld video display inside. It's a memory we'll treasure forever and something we’re excited to share with our family for years to come.

Fast forward a year, and my husband and I are now expecting our first child. Knowing how amazing Colby was at our wedding, we immediately thought of him for our maternity photoshoot, even though he hadn't done our photography on our wedding day. My husband reached out to Colby last minute to organize a surprise shoot, and Colby was so accommodating—he fit us in that same week! Once again, he brought his A-game, and the photo session was just as effortless and enjoyable as our wedding day.

Colby captured this special moment in our lives beautifully, and we received the photos promptly after the shoot. We’re absolutely in love with how they turned out, and it’s clear that Colby is not only an incredible videographer but also a phenomenal photographer.

We can’t recommend Colby enough! Whether you need a videographer, a photographer, or both, Colby is the person you want by your side to capture life’s most precious moments. We would 100% work with him again and recommend him to everyone we know!

Our company utilized CB Photography & Videography to present a professional website and highlight our capabilities in a competitive field. We just finished a photo session to capture headshots of our company employees that we can use on the web. Colby is a natural at making you feel comfortable and having fun. He took the time to make sure he captured the perfect photo. I recommend you check him out!

I was referred to Colby by another business, and he did a fantastic job capturing my headshots and birthday photos. Normally, I don’t enjoy posing for pictures, but Colby was patient and worked with me to make it an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend him any day.

My name is Karen and I hired Colby to take photos and videos of my daughter Angeline. My daughter is a former competitive figure skater. She has recently moved on to performing in skating shows. She needed headshots and a video of her skating programs. We are from New York, but my daughter was skating in California. We were going to be visiting her and I figured it was a great time to update her photos and videos, so I reached out to Colby; he was very interested in the challenge of videoing and taking pictures on ice. Colby was a true professional. He was so interested in what Angeline was doing that he researched skaters and their programs so that he would know what it was all about. He was able to capture the beauty that Angeline possesses on the ice. He brought out the elegance and style of figure skating when being performed. I am so thankful that Colby tried something new and different with a family from across the country. We had so much fun and laughed a lot. After seeing the videos and photos, I am so happy that I asked Colby to help us on this journey. Thank you so much, Colby. You truly are a talented and wonderful person.

My wife and I hired Colby to be the videographer for our wedding last September and it was one of the best decisions we could have made.

A couple months before the wedding, Colby scheduled a call with us to give us an idea of what to expect and to ask us about our preferences. Colby was warm, personable, and easy to talk to. He answered all of our questions and accommodated all of our requests. On our wedding day, Colby arrived early with his partner, Anthony, to film the bridal party getting ready. Colby and Anthony were calming presences, and not only did they capture the moment on video, but having them there interacting with the bridesmaids and groomsmen made the moment feel even more exciting and fun. Colby and Anthony also shot footage during the first look, ceremony, and reception. They clearly knew exactly what they were doing and they skillfully captured each moment in a way that felt natural and fun.

After he had time to edit the footage, Colby sent us a beautiful wooden box containing a digital picture frame preloaded with videos from our wedding, along with a USB drive encased in wood loaded with the Documentary Edit and Feature Film that we had ordered. My wife and I were blown away by the quality when we watched our videos. Our expectations were already high, but we were amazed at how Colby perfectly captured the day, overlaid audio from our ceremony, included drone footage of the venue, and interspersed words of wisdom and well-wishes from our closest friends and family members. We couldn’t be happier with the final product.

Colby is truly an artist. I would work with him again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend that you hire him if you’re interested in preserving your wedding memories for years to come!

I am writing this review only one week after my wedding, and, before even receiving the final product because we had such a great overall experience that I know we will be pleased. I popped my head into Colby Barrett's storefront one day because we were in search of a photographer. As soon as I met Colby, and viewed his samples, I had to set up a consultation with him so my fiancé could meet him as well. We instantly booked with him. We felt totally comfortable, like we've already had known him and really noticed the love he possessed for his profession. He had a modern/cutting edge which we didn't feel from other photographers we sought out. He provided us with a guideline of what he needed from us and asked what we wanted from him which was extremely helpful since we have never worked with a photographer before.

During the event Colby and his second shooter were beyond professional as well as fun! It was an extremely hot day so I'm sure we were all a bit distracted and wanted to just eat and dance (lol)...but they kept reeling us back in and had the absolute best suggestions on poses. I'm pretty confident that I will be more than happy with the pictures, and, may possibly be adding on to this review!

Just one more side note that not only did we love Colby and his crew, but, all my guests did as well. They covered Everything you could ask for, but, you hardly noticed the camera's. Everyone kept asking me where we found him and I cannot stress how happy we are that we added the photo-booth to our package! My flower-girl and ring-bearer must have hit it up about 20 times each time picking a new costume/prop, because, there were that many to choose from!

Very pleased and Colby Barrett Photography is highly recommended! We hope to one day work with him again for family photos!
