Cecilia Harvard Photography

dibly professional. She made the entire process feel easy and comfortable, even for two people who don’t naturally love being in front of the camera. What truly set Cece apart was her attention to detail and seamless coordination. She took the time to connect with our other vendors and created a meticulous, nearly minute-by-minute breakdown of our wedding day to ensure everything ran smoothly. With just a few weeks' notice, she brought on a second shooter and an assistant to help capture every important detail and keep family photo sessions organized and stress-free. And the photos? Absolutely stunning, vibrant, emotional, and full of life. But what made Cece even more special was her energy on the day itself. She wasn’t just documenting the night, she was part of the celebration, out on the dance floor snapping shots and dancing right alongside our guests. Our friends and family haven’t stopped raving about her! Cece is a gem, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.

tos! We hired her for our wedding and included engagement photos in the package. She catered to our needs for our engagement photos and had to change the date a few times due to weather constraints. She helped find the location and made my vision come to life! Our engagements were absolutely stunning and the way she captured our love was beautiful! She even included our fur baby!! My fiance was not thrilled about taking the amount of photos that were needed for the wedding experience; however, Cecilia made him feel really comfortable and he ended up really enjoying the process! Come wedding day, Cecilia was on time, easy going with last minute changes to timeline and stayed positive the whole time! She is so organized with an easy document that we filled out ahead of time with special quirks about us as a couple as well as all the shots we didn't want to forget to capture on our wedding day. We really appreciated having worked with Cecilia before the wedding day so that we both felt comfortable with all the photos, and after the planned shots, we hardly felt her presence while also knowing she was capturing all our favorite moments throughout the night. We cannot wait to see the beautiful fall colors, moments we shared, and the party moments with all our family and friends! Thank you Cecilia for making my dreams come true and capturing the most beautiful moments on our special day!

th me and my fiance at ease. She captured our love and personalities beautifully. Her candids of our wedding guests are so fun and it seems like she was everywhere despite being so unobtrusive on the day. In the last two weeks before our wedding we decided to do Bridal portraits in Zion the day before our wedding so we could have more time with our people on the day (a great decision) and Cece was so flexible and generous with her time. We absolutely love our photo's and can hardly believe that these are our wedding photo's for the rest of our lives. If we ever need family photo's she'll be my first call.

organized, which ensured that I got all the shots that I wanted. The reception was the craziest part of our wedding and Cecelia was so prepared and helpful. She helped the reception run smoother. I am very happy with my experience overall

nds for our shoot. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for fun, interesting, and creative photos! She was also happy to help us think of options for shoot locations and was able to get us in quickly!

ing with her leading up to and following the event. In fact, she helped us plan and consider things we otherwise wouldn't have. Cecilia is very patient, thoughtful, thorough, and clearly has extensive experience. On top of all this, she is extremely dedicated and passionate about her craft, which is a recipe for excellent results. Overall, her services are a great deal. Whether you are the type to fine-tune every aspect or are looking for someone just to show up (early and prepared) and snap high-quality pictures, Cecilia will go above and beyond to meet your needs and get the job done. I highly recommend hiring her to capture your special occasion.

h questionnaires so we could share our preferences prior to the photoshoots. She was so helpful throughout the whole process in educating us on the timeline/ things to prepare so we could have a seamless experience the day of. Cecilia was also very communicative and always present to capture beautiful moments in her photography. We absolutely LOVE all pictures from Cecilia where we could see beautiful moments and memories with our friends and families. Besides her extraordinary pictures and experience, Cecilia is super fun and easy to work with. We would highly recommend Cecilia to be your photographer!

engagements, as well as going above and beyond on our wedding day, was unbelievable. Wedding Day was phenomenal because of her help and direction. Highly recommend her work.

edding! Taking pictures typically makes me anxious but she made it a fun experience!

o scout out stunning outdoor locations, create a list of every photo we wanted, and spoke thoroughly with my sister and her fiance about their vision in advance. Her high attention to detail (making sure hair ties were removed from wrists, hair was placed just so, etc.) and her care to make everyone comfortable in front of the camera ensured everything was perfect. We couldn't be happier with the photos. Thank you Cecilia!

e was on time, prepared and a delight as a person. She was prompt getting us the photos and we could not be happier.

le and was easy to talk to throughout. She was even great with (and SO patient) while photographing/bribing our dog to sit. Not only is she patient but her communication was much appreciated, she was always letting us know where she was at in the process of returning our photos and blew us away with the timeframe in which she returned our wedding photos and how gorgeous they all turned out!

what you want. Truly her presence brought so much light and positivity to our wedding day! I've been to other weddings where the photographers are hard to find, but I can't tell you how many guests commented on how Cecilia was everywhere they turned. She captured everything! There was literally not a single time that I wanted to take a picture with somebody, and she wasn't already there taking it. And the quality of work? Pure perfection! I'm a very Type A person who expected perfection from all of my vendors, and Cecilia Harvard truly blew my expectations out of the water. I will be singing her praises to anybody who will listen, and will be recommending her to every person I know! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars, because she deserves it

tting the cake and how to do it. She met with us beforehand to make sure she knew and understood what photos we wanted and made sure they all got taken throughout the night. She did a great job managing the large group of people (including a wide range of ages). She got the outdoor photos done quickly which was great because it was really cold outside. We loved the photos she gave us and she got them back to us really fast. The candid photos from wedding throughout the night were fantastic! Highly recommend her! We were beyond happy with out experience!

most important things to be for my wedding was the dancing at the reception, and she captured that so perfectly, I swear you can feel the happiness and joy emanating from those photos. Thank you Cecilia for the best photos I could’ve imagined!!!

with her in the future!! I live in Chicago and was super scared not being able to meet with her more prior to my wedding, but her personality is so warm and bubbly and makes you feel comfortable right away! Both sets of photos are mind blowing my beautiful, my husband and I are not used to having photos taken and are awkward people (lol) but she somehow captured us as natural as possible and every photo highlights both of our best features! Also if your hesitant another huge plus was how she killed it on the dance floor for a solid minute and had my whole wedding cheering her on! (Just for a moment, she definitely is very professional but this just shows how fun she is too!) We don’t have all our photos yet, which is funny, I almost forgot we have more coming since I’m so happy with the ones we have already! We definitely will be flying back for anniversaries and definitely nwill be using her again!!!

or our photos within Zion and did the 1hr. long hike with no complaints! Not only are the pictures stunning, but we received sneak peaks the day after our ceremony - incredible turnaround time! If you are looking for a photographer in Utah, you absolutely must go with Cece! You will not regret it :)

er!! We couldn't have imagined our day without her!

spectacular because of her upbeat and fun personality. Her work is flawless, the colors are memorizing, and she captures the most important details of your wedding day. If you don't book her, you will regret it. If you do book her, oh man, you will absolutely love your photos and will share them with everyone!

ous enough to include additional edited photos free of charge! She went ABOVE and BEYOND! I 100% recommend hiring Cecilia for your wedding photographer!

e was in contact and made the day go smooth. She made sure we got all the photos we wanted and made us feel very comfortable. Would recommend her to everyone!

our first meeting, she detailed her photography style, gear, preparation and plans for everything from navigating tricky family dynamics in group pictures to her backups to prevent losing our photos. I had total peace of mind that we were in good, experienced hands, and that was definitely the case for photos both days. She also made our photos enjoyable, fun, comfortable, and lighthearted - it was easy to nail down our style and priorities and feel like ourselves. We LOVE our photos from Cecilia - you can't go wrong!

ning. I was originally supposed to have a different photographer who ended up getting the dates wrong and I'm honestly so glad that happened because I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Thank you thank you thank you for everything!

shy and definitely not used to having photos professionally taken so came into things a bit clueless. But Cecilia prepped us well in advance (she was even there for my many emails and texts about "what dress should I pick?!".. "what makeup foundation is the best?!") and walked us through each and every thing and made us feel super comfortable.. we even had FUN doing the shoot!! We just got some of our photos back, and they are seriously the most beautiful engagement photos I've ever seen (Pinterest worthy for sure!). You would think this camera-shy couple were pros!! Everything looks natural and elegant, and she captured it all in the most beautiful way. THANK YOU CECILIA!! <3 <3

st FaceTime going over all the details for our wedding. She knew all the right questions to ask to make sure everything turned out just how we imagined for our engagement session and our wedding. She is professional, kind, organized, and made everything so much fun!! When it came down to the wedding day she made sure everything was taken care of and went above and beyond what a photographer duties and roles should be. Our wedding wouldn’t of been as smooth as it was if it wasn’t for her. I can’t thank her enough for her literally making our day the best day ever!!

from consultation to the big day has been nothing but smiles!

to the wedding was super easy and she gave us a form to list all of the different photos we wanted. On the day of the wedding she was very punctual and she brought with her a speaker to play different songs we requested to keep the energy up! Everyone in my bridal party and family LOVED working with her because of how kind, energetic, and efficient she was! I absolutely recommend hiring her for your wedding, she is truly the best of the best!!

cilia got all of the shots we wanted, she gave us a bunch of tips for day of & was so easy and fun to work with! We loved the relaxing environment she helped create for our couples photos.

Cecilia for. We were so happy she was still available for our re-scheduled date because we fell in love with her style, especially the way she captures candid moments. We knew we wanted the majority of our photos to be candid, and only wanted a handful of posed photos. Cec definitely delivered our wish list. She is organized, professional, and super fun to work with. By far the best vendor we hired for our wedding day; she absolutely exceeded our expectations. The photos she took were incredible, and she did it all without an assistant! And she delivered our final gallery to us only a few weeks after the wedding. She's a super-woman, and you'll be lucky to have her capture your wedding day!

10/10 would recommend her for any type of photography needs. Will definitely be reaching out to her when we need cute family photos taken. THANK YOU THANK YOU Cecilia!!!

ally thorough and smooth preparation process, was fun to work with, took absolutely beautiful pictures, and turned around the final versions quickly. Many of my guests commented on how great she was at wrangling everyone the day of and capturing little moments. I love my photos and the memories she captured - I cannot recommend Cec enough!

ur special day go from beautiful to perfect. She's knowledgeable, not afraid to tell you about better lighting or angles. She really became family in the short (too short) time we spent with her. We had a destination wedding but I'd come back just to have coffee with her. She did a phenomenal job and the results far exceeded my expectations. Great play on lighting and reflections. All around top not h work.

s up great shots, she makes friends with your guests, she captures awesome moments, and you never have to worry about giving her direction. She takes initiative and captures beautiful shots while bringing such a fun and positive energy to your special day!!

otographer. Before our wedding we had lined out who/what we were going to get photos of, which made photos go more smoothly the day of. She got all of our family members lined up in a timely manner for photos, which I really appreciated since it is more difficult than it seems. We got our photos back a month ago and I absolutely love all of them! We will definitely have Cecilia as our photographer again if we need any photos done.

was a blessing! She guided us on where to park, downloaded and played our music for our first dance, helped coordinate the guests, literally helped with everything! She was beyond amazing and I am so so thankful we found her! We received our sneak peeks so quickly and they are MAGICAL. To have the day captured in such a beautiful way, and have these memories forever means so much to us. Thank you so much Cecilia!

lped me with so much and provided me great advice on scheduling and so many other things that did not fall in the realm of capturing our day. On the day of, she arrived early, brought me a dang latte, and helped calm my stress (I was a mess). She made sure to get all of the shots on my list in timely manner so we could enjoy our guests. She was so professional, extremely efficient, and all around amazing. Everyone commented to me on how incredible my photographer was and how lucky I was to have someone who knew what the heck they were doing. Outside of photography, she is kind, incredibly patient, easy to be around, hilarious, and an incredible dancer. I could not have asked for a better human to capture our day. And the photos. OH MY GOSH. I DIE. Her work is incredible and speaks for itself. Her attention to detail, her eye to get the perfect shots and never miss a moment. She’s incredible. Seriously. Stop looking. You’ve found the perfect photographer.

table in front of the camera, but she made us both feel so confident & comfortable. Our photos are an absolute dream & so romantic. The best decision we made with our wedding was hiring her.

ful but she is so great to work with—even when I’m being a bridezilla. I will 100% continue to work with her when we need beautifully captured photos.
