About Colin Shepherd

Every love story deserves to be beautifully remembered

I'm Colin Shepherd, the artist behind Shepherd Light Studios. With a documentary approach and a cinematic eye, I capture not just moments — but the feeling behind them. The way you laughed when you weren't looking. The quiet exhale before you walked down the aisle.

Based in Pittsburgh, I travel across the country and beyond for couples who believe their wedding deserves imagery as extraordinary as their love.

Kind Words

From couples who trusted us with their most important day

Colin did an amazing job on our wedding video. He has a super calm demeanor and did a great job of filming every little moment in a way that wasn't overwhelming and helped make the wedding flow so smoothly. He worked great with our photographer too! He paid a huge attention to detail and the video he made was breathtaking — we can't stop watching it!! He captured so many great parts of the day that my husband and I didn't even remember, which made it so much fun to watch and remember.

— Madeline & Andrew · December 2022

Colin was a dream to work with. He came to our wedding venue in advance to get ideas about how he would shoot the video. We got married on a boat in a marina, so he was very creative in microphone placement so the ceremony would be well captured. We had a bagpipe band in our procession down the dock, and while the music could easily have been overwhelming, Colin got it just right. His video didn't miss a thing, yet his presence was very unobtrusive. The video came out better than we ever could have expected. We are thrilled. I would recommend Colin in a heartbeat.

— Tavisha & Jim · June 2021

We could not stress enough how amazed we were with how everything turned out. Seriously, we rewatch it over and over — even our families do the same. The day of our wedding felt like a dream; Colin was able to capture all of it. I am overly speechless with how great this turned out that I had a hard time writing a review. If I had to do this all over again, you bet I'd go with Colin all over again.

— Maria & Wesley · September 2020

Colin was an incredible videographer. He was prompt, easy to reach, and always willing to accommodate our needs. He was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process as well! My husband and I were over the moon with how our wedding video turned out. It was everything we dreamed of and more. I would 10/10 recommend Colin to friends and family. Forever thankful for such an excellent depiction of the best day of our lives.

— Cassie & Kyle · August 2020

I highly recommend everyone to hire this man! He did the beautiful work of my wedding video and photos as well! He's amazing! I love my wedding video — it's so gorgeous! Love it!

— Maurice & Alesha · April 2021

Colin was awesome! He was so professional and went above and beyond. I already recommended him to a friend who also loved him. I would definitely hire him again. Such a kind person.
