Julie McCullagh
Marketing Manager, Belfast One BID

“We recently tasked Collette with creating beautiful images to showcase our collections of premium workwear and corporate wear garments. Prior to the photoshoot, Collette ensured she was as well prepped as possible, meeting us on location at the Clandeboye Lodge Hotel to understand fully the vision of how we wanted our brand represented. She not only ‘got it’ immediately but was able to inspire us further with her own highly creative, individual input. On the day, Collette gave 100% of herself to the shoot, showing us originality and creativity through her work. She kept the models high on energy ensuring we got the very best of them to match the beautiful backdrops. We have been staggered at just how fabulous our images are and therefore, we cannot recommend Collette Creative highly enough. Collette makes the process fun, creative and her boundless energy and eye for detail ensures perfect results.”

I have been delighted with the quality of the photos and have received several comments about them from colleagues. I recently worked with Collette on photos to accompany a case study which went on to gain coverage in a national paper, local paper and several online articles.”

Christine McClune
Marketing and Account Manager, NOW Group

“We loved working with Collette at the BFW/Belfast ONE Street Style event, she provided a great mix of model and backstage photography, as well as having the intuition to capture as much sponsor/partner activity as possible, which was a great help in building a photo journal of the event. We chose her as she had previously provided similar services at press launches and events for us, and importantly in these days of fast-turnaround social media, we had the images just hours after.”

Cathy Martin

“Oonagh and I are absolutely delighted with Collette’s photographic ‘memories gathering’ of our Wedding on 17th March 2018. Quantity, laced with a smidgen of Quirkiness, but most importantly, sheer QUALITY! She was with us in the Merchant Hotel as we journeyed towards our wedding, always catching ‘the moment’ with sensitivity and professionalism. Sometimes overt, sometimes covert, but ever present. And always great ‘craic’. While we and the gang concentrated on our various roles, (as you do), Collette, as the confident member of the family, concentrated on US! And creating our memories. And the collage of photos generated after the Ceremony in the nooks and crannies of the Cathedral Quarter, and including a cast of diverse St. Patrick’s revellers, was, imho, deserving of an award. Murals, doors, walls, green umbrellas and other street furniture formed the backdrop. Just WOW! Don’t take our word for it – view the product! Collette personifies the warm, ‘Norn Irn’ saying, “There are no strangers here: Only friends you haven’t yet met.” We both now regard Collette as a friend. Thank you for the memories Collette.”

Oonagh and Roger McCallum

“Collette is so friendly and patient. She made our baby photo shoot a real pleasure. Highly recommended especially since our little one wasn’t the easiest to shoot as he normally hates being undressed and decided not to sleep but she didn’t rush him and we are very pleased with the outcome. Thanks again. :)”

Martha McBriar

Extremely talented photographer, with patience and attention to detail. Her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. She creates her magic in the comfort of your own home, as to create natural, lifestyle shots with no sterile studio backdrop. She has the cutest props. I adore the photographs she took of my nieces, she captured their personalities and the two little girls had so much fun with her. I will definitely be availing of her services again in the future! Thanks Collette!

Karla McNally

Thank you soo much for the PERFECT photo shoot Collette! You were so lovely and patient, you didn’t rush anything...even when my little lady needed yet another feed! You made us all feel so comfortable and it was lovely to shoot it all from the comfort of our own home! I can’t recommend you highly enough- I’ve already given out your card! We’ll definatley be using your talents to help us document more footage of Lexie as she grows up! Cant wait to see the rest of the pics! Thanks again, Sarah xx

Sarah McVeigh

Both Gary and I are very delighted with our “baby bump” pictures taken on the beach. Collette was very professional even when at times we weren’t. Would highly recommend her. A great photographer who was confident, relaxing and very personable. Thanks again.
