I hired Collin to do my wedding photography based on the pictures I saw on his and his wife's website, and the fact that he was so genuinenly nice, helpful and responsive, when initially contacted. I couldn't be happier. He was the most ideal and impressive photographer with a fantastic eye, can work quiclkly and yet is very patient. He was great with my family, incredibly professional all-around and so easy to work with. I've always been apprehensive in front of the camera, but he put me so at ease, that the whlole experience was very enjoyable. The pictures were gorgeous which proves he knows what he's doing in all respects. His wife Anna designed our album and did an excellent job as well. Her creativity and sense of design are out of this world. I feel very lucky that I stumbled upon their website when searching for an Orange County wedding photographer. I'll be forever grateful and will continue to hire Collin and Anna for my family and (hopefully soon) kids!

Maria Lindsay, our wedding planner showed us several albums of the photographers she works with most of the time. The albums she had from Goddard Studios stood out above and beyond the others, so we met with Collin, and loved everything he had to say. The engagement shoot was so much fun and we ended up with great pictures. The only problem is that when you have so many good pictures, it's hard to choose which ones to pick! A good problem to have though!
The wedding pictures came out unbelievable as well. Collin was there every moment of the wedding, and came early just so he could cover every detail. He was polite, professional and quite funny at times. It shows in our pictures that we had such a great time while he photographed us.
We just went through the album process with Anna, his wife. She's been waiting for us to send our favorites, which is honestly so hard, as they ALL are favorites! I can't wait to see the finished product, I'm sure it's going to be...

Anna-Marie is an incredibly talented photographer. We were lucky to have had her as our wedding photographer. Not only is she technically proficient (her photos are gorgeous), but her kind and generous personality allowed her subjects to relax and to capture those certain moments of the wedding that we will cherish forever. Whether it be the bride, groom or the guests, she's good with everyone and all of our pictures came out natural and quite beautiful. We're very happy with the way all of our photographs came out. I will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs a photographer, whether it be for a wedding, family portrait or anything else.

Amazing! That's all I have to say. I recommend Anna and Collin to anyone! I have some friends who recently got married and almost feel bad for them when we compare our wedding pictures. I feel so blessed that I found Goddard Studios. I remember being so confused as there are so many photographers, and who do you chooose? Anna and I just clicked right from the first appointment on. The slideshows and albums she showed me were incredible, but then you never know if it's going to be the same for your own wedding. Well it was. Everything, from our wedding pictures to the customer service was above and beyond great, I couldn't have asked for more. Anna told me during our first meeting that she and her husband like to tell a story in the pictures they take with a journalistice approach. I honestly wasn't sure exactly what that meant at the time, but now after seeing my pictures and comparing them to my friend's pictures, I know exactly what she meant. My husband's mom for example saw me in my wedding dress when I walked out to get my pictures taken before the ceremony, and she got all teary eyed. I was unaware that Anna and Collin were capturing all this when I walked over to my mother in law and hugged her. It's hard to describe, but it's those real moments that are not posed, that are so important and beautiful. Thanks guys, you did an outstanding job!

Anna-Marie is not only a fantastic Photographer but a wonderful person. My husband and I enjoyed working with her from our very first meeting all the way through the album process. Our engagment and wedding photos were done perfectly and she really caught who my husband and I are. I would recomend Anna-Marie and Goddard Studios to any bride and groom looking for a photographer. I look forward to working with Anna-Marie again in the future to capture all of my families beautiful moments.

I would recommend Goddard studios to every couple that's getting married.
We ended up with loads and loads of great photos and gorgeous wedding
album. Collin and Annamarie were very professional during the wedding and were there for every moment. They were fun, they guided us and were never in the way.
Anna worked her magic after we selected out pictures for the album. I had seen some of my friends wedding albums but the seemed so boring in comparison to what Annamarie did with ours. She worked flowers and other details into the background of the pages, which makes it stand apart. We also ended up getting some albums for our parents as well who were very happy with them.
My wife and I love their photography style. They know just how to get the right moment. The getting dressed pictures were especially nice and my wife said that Collin and Anna gave her so much confidence, that she felt like a model. I knew my wife was pretty, but she looked absolutely amazing in the pictures, She could be a model.
We had a beautiful wedding and all of it is in the pictures; all the emotions and laughter. We got so many, it was hard to choose which ones to use. I also just love the black and whites and sepia...

My husband and I got married in December 2010 and Anna-Marie and Colin were TERRIFIC! We couldn't have asked for better photographers! A+++

We were honored that Anna-Marie from Goddard Studios was able to come to Holland to shoot our wedding. Anna-Marie took shots on all the important moments in a photojournalistic way, exactly what we could have wished for. The weddingalbum was very well composed, of excellent quality and a piece of art. Thank you Anna-Marie for recording the most special event of our life. We sure can recommend you for other happy couples!
I just received my pictures from Goddard Studios and they are beautiful! They made my flowers look amazing, and when a photographer captures details, that is something that is appreciated so much. Also, the bride looked like she was smiling at a friend in every photo, not something you see very often.
Great job guys, looking forward to working with you again!
With the extensive background in Fashion Anna and Collin of Goddard Studios have had, they offer something completely new to my clients. All my brides and grooms that have booked them to shoot their wedding and engagements, have been blown away with the photos they received. Anna and Collin just know how to make people feel at ease, guide them, yet they don't like to pose anybody. They like to wait for the right moments and therefore produce very spontaneous classy shots. They are also very fast with the delivery of the photos which they make available online. The album quality they use is truly fantastic and Anna has mastered the art of the album layout with her experience in graphic design, therefore producing fabulous albums. As a wedding coordinator I need to be able to depend on my vendors; I can always depend on Goddard Studios to come through for my clients and myself.
I strongly recommend Goddard Studios to all my bridal clients. There service and professionalism is second to none. They are attentive to every detail, and their customer service is outstanding.
Anna-Marie does an excellent job with photography! We worked together on a wedding last month and she put thought and detail into every shot. She has a true eye for beauty and knows how to catch every special moment. I would highly recommend her for your special day!!!
About Goddard Studios Photography
Goddard Studios' photographers Anna and Collin have a unique eye for style and class. Their extensive fashion- and photo journalism photography background since 1989 gives them an edge over many other wedding photographers.
They understand the "right moment" , composition, and lighting. They prefer to work as much as possible with natural/available light, even at night. Not using flash provides a depth and a realism in their photographs that is very special and is rarely done in wedding photography, therefore giving the photos a very special touch.
Photojournalism is basically telling a story through pictures which is what makes wedding photography so exciting for them. It's capturing those special moments you don't get when posing people around as there is no story in such. Anna and Collin just know when to capture these special moments and work with the pictures in post production as well to make them stand out even more.
