What I Photograph
Three kinds of days worth remembering exactly as they happened.
Marco Best Photography by Camera Collin
A local photographer who knows where the light lands.
I live and work on Marco Island. I know which beach access stays quiet at sunset, which docks catch the last of the color, and how long you have before the light goes soft. That knowledge is most of the work — the rest is making you comfortable enough to forget I am there.
Sessions are unhurried and conversational. You will get very little stiff posing and a gallery that looks like the two of you, or the four of you, on one particular evening in Southwest Florida.

Marco Island proposal, family & portrait photography
Surprise proposal photography
A proposal on Marco Island deserves more than a quick phone photo. My all-inclusive proposal experience covers the planning, a personal setup on the beach, fresh flowers, champagne, photos of the moment she says yes, and drone video from above when weather, location, and FAA rules allow. You show up with the ring — I take care of the rest and stay out of sight until it counts.
Family beach portraits
Family sessions happen on the sand during the softest light of the evening. Kids are free to run, splash, and be themselves while I guide everyone into natural, relaxed photos. Whether you live here or are visiting Marco Island or Naples on vacation, you leave with portraits of your family that feel like your best day at the beach.
Senior, couples & maternity mini sessions
Mini sessions are short, focused shoots of up to 30 minutes. Senior portraits celebrate a graduating year, couples sessions capture the two of you on the shoreline, and maternity sessions document a season that passes quickly. Each one is simple to book and easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Drone and commercial photography
As a commercially licensed drone pilot, I capture aerial photos and video of the islands, passes, and sandbars around Marco Island. I also photograph real estate listings, vacation rentals, and restaurants for local businesses in Naples and throughout Southwest Florida.
Why Book a Local Marco Island Photographer
Marco Island photography from someone who lives here
After more than 20 years on Marco Island, I know the beaches, tides, and sunset timing that make or break a photo session. I can suggest a quiet spot at Tigertail Beach for a private proposal, the rocks at South Beach for a livelier backdrop, or a stretch of sand in Naples that fits your family's schedule.
Booking is simple: call or text, tell me your dates and the kind of photos you want, and I'll recommend a time and location. Every session includes edited images in a private online gallery, so you can download and share your Marco Island photos with family and friends.

Kind Words
“Collin planned the entire proposal with me over three weeks and stayed completely invisible until the moment happened. We had photos of her saying yes within two days.”
“Our two-year-old refused to sit still and it did not matter at all. Every photo looks like our real family, just on the most beautiful evening of the year.”
“He knew exactly where the light would be at 6:40 and had us at the water for it. The maternity images are the most beautiful photographs we own.”
