Below are actual things our customers have said about our work.
Katie & Chris
When Chris and I decided to get married out of state (we live in Connecticut) we knew that it was going to be difficult to plan things conventionally.
I’d like to extend a special “Thank You” to Colleen. If it weren’t for her, we would have missed out on some of the traditional reception activities (thanks to the lack of a wedding coordinator, and a DJ with a mind of his own). Not only were she and Greg capturing moments that Chris and I will cherish for a lifetime, but she took the reins and made sure that our day truly was all we had envisioned. I can’t tell you how many times we have been complimented on the splendor and quality of our wedding photos. As a bride, I wish I could relive our wedding day over and over. Thanks to the stunning, superior quality of our wedding photos captured by Solas Studios, we can do so each time we open our album. If you’re looking for a stress-free, imaginative, and high quality wedding photography experience, there is no better choice than Colleen and Greg of Solas Studios.
Solas Studios did my Wedding on May 20, 2011. They showed great professionalism and at the same time very personable. The pictures came out absolutely fabulous. We also ordered the album with our package. The album was the most fascinating album I had ever seen. It wasn’t a normal one where you threw pictures in. It was heavy and durable and the pictures were put into it like a story book. My sister is next to get married, and she will be definitely be going to Solas Studios. Don’t make a mistake and go somewhere else!

I knew Colleen and Greg were the right choice for our wedding photographers when they agreed to an outdoor engagement photo session in the middle of February in Central New York and followed us through not one, but two, snowy parks to capture some absolutely awesome photographs. Solas Studios was incredibly easy to work with to get what we wanted out of our engagement and wedding pictures. They listened to our ideas and were not only able to make them happen, but were able to go beyond our expectations and give us ideas as well. We have incredible photos because of that, like a longer exposure night shot in front of Belhurst Castle (where we got married) with all of the lights in the windows and the stars in the sky. The results were creative, stunning and beautiful. They managed to capture not only the people who attended the wedding, but all of the emotions throughout the day. Colleen and Greg really cared about the work they did and each photograph reflects that. If you are looking for artistic, friendly wedding photographers who will capture the memories you want and exceed your expectations, go with Solas Studios.
Erica & Ben
Colleen & Greg have provided us with beautiful photographs that we will always cherish. Each time we look at our wedding pictures, it’s like reliving our special day. Their friendly, unobtrusive manner made them such a pleasure to work with, and the fact that they stayed till the very end was truly impressive. Not only did they do an amazing job capturing the portrait shots, but they just blew us away with the candid shots. They truly have a gift for taking an ordinary moment and making it extraordinary. And their affordable prices were an added bonus. We’ve received endless compliments from family and friends on our wedding pictures and would highly recommend them to any Bride & Groom!
We live in Oregon and only got to meet Colleen and Greg once, a week before the wedding. When we first met them we were so excited to see they were young, positive, professional and very colorful people. The one thing we did not want our guests to wear was the color black, and Colleen and Greg showed up in bright beautiful colors – it was awesome! Jesse and I are very bright people, and with all the wonderful colors everywhere, Colleen and Greg captured the ray of colors among our guests. They even captured a beautiful rainbow coming out of our heads as we kissed! Talk about capturing the colors!! They were very professional throughout the whole ceremony, they never got in the way of the guest view and captured the amazing faces as we shared our vows. When it came to the formal pictures, they knocked it out of the park! Colleen and Greg were really chill people and made it fun! Jesse and I are not much for pda or even having people take pictures of us, but they made us feel so comfortable, and they captured the love we share for one another. Colleen and Greg really took advantage of the surrounding views which turned out amazing in the photos. Honestly, we couldn’t be happier with their work, and we feel lucky to have the pictures for a lifetime!
When we planned our fall wedding, there were so many decisions to make. The venue, dresses, flowers, music, cake, etc. were all so important to us, but having the right photographer to preserve the memories of our day was a priority. Choosing Greg Dunbar and Colleen Burns of Solas Studios was the best decision we could have made! We knew immediately that they were the right team for us! We met with Greg and Colleen several months prior to our wedding upon booking and were highly impressed with their personal warmth, professionalism, artistic style, philosophical approach, attention to details, and ability to see the big picture. It was apparent that they truly cared about us and our vision and were dedicated to capturing it in their photography! They asked questions that helped us better clarify our ideas and gave them the foundation and materials they needed and wanted to create and capture shots that were stunning and truly meaningful for us! We were especially impressed with Greg and Colleen‘s unique ability to see our vision and the big picture while still focusing on the special, small details that were so important to us. We were so happy to see the details of our wedding captured in the beautiful “sneak peek” they created and in the high quality proofs that were available to us so quickly after our day.
Colleen and Greg of Solas Studios are so much more than photographers for weddings and special events. They are true artists with a unique talent for creating and capturing formal, spontaneous, fun, and intimate moments in a professional, relaxed manner. Their style allowed us and our guests to relax, be ourselves, and enjoy the day while still providing the periodic gentle guidance needed to create and capture the most flattering and beautiful of photographs.
Greg and Colleen combine their personal styles (Colleen does the talking and Greg smiles and nods), teamwork, and artistic talents of portrait and landscape photography to truly create something spectacular for their clients. We have truly wonderful memories of our special day, but we will always cherish the beautiful moments that were captured in the photographs by two highly skilled, caring, and dedicated professionals!!

Solas Studios photographed both my daughters’ weddings and did an absolutely incredible job! I highly recommend them for any occasion you need a professional photographer. They are perfectionists and it shows in their work. You will not be disappointed!
Michelle, aunt of Amanda
I am an aunt of the bride and I was looking at the pictures the last couple of days. I just wanted to thank you for the great job that you did. You captured the love that they have for each other brilliantly. These photos are going to be cherished. I would definitely refer folks to you!
Greg and Colleen, did an amazing job capturing my children’s true personalities in the photos they took. I was truly blessed with these memories forever. I look at the family pictures taken and I am just amazed by how I could see exactly how each one of my boys looked, exactly like they “act”. Amazing job guys, cant wait for next year!
