If you’re looking for a photographer who can capture the moment like no one else, look no further than Colman Photography in Raleigh.

Colman Photography has received dozens of reviews on five verified sites with an average rating of 5.00 stars, earning them an impeccable Rating Score of™ of 100.00 and two 2019 Top Rated Local awards for ranking among the top 100 businesses and the top 10 photographers in all of North Carolina!

Here’s just one of Colman Photography’s many five-star reviews:

“Jim is amazing, truly an artist. Not only was he able to capture my husband and I’s quirky personalities, but his vision helped to create some perfect shots. He was very easy to work with and very accommodating to unique requests. I am in awe of the photographs he created and honored to have been the subject of his beautiful work. If that wasn’t enough, you are provided with all of your pictures in high-resolution format on a USB, included in all packages, giving you complete access to make prints at your leisure.” – Kristi M.

Not Your Average Photographer

Jim Colman, the owner of Colman Photography, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about his award-winning business and its spectacular online reputation.

The first question we had for Jim was what sets Colman Photography apart from their competition in North Carolina. Here’s his response:

“My lighting skills. I’ve been behind the camera ever since I graduated from college a long time ago. I went to school for photography, and my skill in lighting is what sets me apart from a lot of other people.”

We also wanted to know what Jim’s mission is at Colman Photography and how he works to make the world a better place. Here’s what he had to say:

“By treating people the way I want to be treated myself. As simple as that is, that’s the rule I’ve always lived by. Some people call it the Golden Rule — treat others as you want to be treated…”

Building Success Through Quality and Affordability

Jim attributes Colman Photography’s strong online reputation to his commitment to delivering outstanding quality at an affordable price:

“That’s been my go-to model ever since I’ve been in business.”

When asked how he’s grown Colman Photography outside of building a powerful online reputation, Jim said:

“I stopped all of my marketing because, to be honest, I’m slowing the business down a little bit. All my business comes from word of mouth.”

Clearly, Jim knows a thing or two about growing a business and building an online reputation. Here’s his expert advice for the many other business owners out there working to do the same thing:

‘Basically, put yourself out there in as many different forums, websites and social groups. I get a lot of my work actually from being on photography websites… I’ve literally traveled the world photographing weddings just based on people seeing my work, not just on my website but on social media.”


Congratulations to the team at Colman Photography for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Jim, for taking the time to speak with us!
