Welcome to The Vanity Portrait Studio.
We're so glad you're here.
OUR STORY
Luxury events deserve something better.
Hey there! I'm Colson, the founder of The Vanity Portrait Studio.
After being a wedding and event photographer in San Francisco for nearly 10 years, I found that high-end events and weddings were missing a photography experience that actually elevated the event [hint: no cheesy photobooths or props!]
Much like you see at the Oscars or Grammys, I wanted to bring a magazine-inspired photoshoot experience to all kinds of events, creating timeless portraits that make guests feel stunning. After testing this concept at a nonprofit event in San Francisco, The Vanity Portrait Studio was born.
Our approach is rooted in celebrating people’s essence through classic portrait photography. Timelessness is key whether in our signature portrait studio experience, in event photography, or a professional headshot. We want everyone to see the best version of themselves and walk away feeling seen and affirmed.
Our goal is to give you an uplifting photography experience and portraits you'll cherish for a lifetime. This is the best gift we could give and receive.
Cheers,
Colson Griffith
Founder of The Vanity Portrait Studio
