Hey! I'm Colin, I live in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada and I was a professional photographer. Over the years my work was published for various different things, from hockey to skateboarding, weddings and just plain ole' news.

I've been seen in various national and international publications, such as The National Post, The Montreal Gazette, The New York Times, Concrete Powder Skate Mag, The Hockey News, theAHL.com, NHL.com, Saltscapes Magazine, and many other formats and mediums, for many of the different genres of photography I shoot.

For a while I was also writing product reviews for the number one photography site in the world, PetaPixel.com.

It began as a hobby 20 years ago and I soon realized that turning it into a career was the best way for me to guarantee I got to keep myself in position to shoot more photos, which is all I've ever wanted to do.

If you are contacting me because you've lost your old wedding photos, be sure to include your wedding date.

    Oh, hello there...

    I've taken a lot of photographs in the 20+ years behind the lens.

    I've also published a lot of articles, wedding posts, and portfolio sets of my work. And while those sets of photos are great in their own right, within them there are a few gems that standout for me personally.

    If you're interested in seeing some of my favorites right now, click the button below to see a randomly sorted collection of over 100 photographs from across my entire portfolio.

    Some of these are what I would consider to be my best work. Some of them are my favorites for personal reasons that I would just like the world to see.

    Thank you,

    Colin Peddle
