Bill Collins was formerly a full time pro weddings-only photographer serving the Indianapolis-Cincinnati-Dayton, Ohio regional wedding markets, with 45-years experience as a wedding photographer. Bill was born in Connersville, Indiana and graduated from CHS in 1963, with almost double the number of credits required to graduate, while managing to skip his Junior year. He was a top wedding photographer in Connersville for over twenty years. In the 1980s, he moved to Richmond, Indiana, where he owned and operated Bill Collins Photography, at 315 NW L Street, for more than a quarter of a century. During the final fifteen years of his career, he only photographed weddings, averaging a wedding a week year around, by serving mostly big city brides throughout Indiana, Western Ohio and Northern Kentucky. Bill is currently living in Greens Fork, Indiana, with Sue, his wife of many years, and their two pet cats.
