Behind the scenes
Behind the scenes: a Columbia Gorge elopement
A behind-the-scenes look at the process, gear, and decisions that shaped the final frames.
Marin Cole Studio
Quiet, deliberate photography.
What clients say
“Marin somehow disappeared during the ceremony and gave us back two hours we didn’t know we had. The photographs read like a film.”
Hollis & Wren
Wedding clients
“A rare combination of editorial vision and absolute calm on set. Our team booked Marin twice in the same quarter.”
