Cecilia was absolutely one of our most valued vendors for capturing our wedding experience! She is knowledgeable, professional, organized, and takes the most stunning beautiful photos! 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!

Cece was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. I can not recommend her more. She's knowledgeable, experienced, professional, incredibly talented, fun, and put both 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.

Cecelia shot my engagements, my wedding, and my reception. She was so fun to shoot with, and made us feel comfortable during the engagement session. She was also very prepared and 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

Cecilia photographed our wedding on February 24, 2024, at Millcreek Inn; everyone loved her! She was sure to know all the details beforehand, and it was a wonderful experience working 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.

Cecilia photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding and was absolutely incredible for both! Communication prior to both events was excellent and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We brought our dogs to our engagement shoot and she was just as encouraging with them as she was with us! Cecilia helped us stay on track during our wedding and made sure that we got all the shots we wanted. We were a little unsure of what we wanted going into the whole wedding photography process and she provided guidance and offered excellent suggestions as she got to know. We cannot speak highly enough of Cecilia!

Cecilia was our engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding photographer - and she was such a pleasure to work with! Cecilia was very organized with her planning, she provided thorough 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!

Cecilia is by far the best photographer I have ever worked with. The interview process and ehatbshe does to get to know her clients sets her apart.

Cecilia was a dream to work with for my sister's microwedding! She tailored everything to our unique preferences, and the photos turned out perfect as a result. She took the time to 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!

We booked Cece for both our engagements and wedding day and she did amazing! My husband and I had never gotten our photos done professionally and she made us both feel so comfortable 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!

Cecilia was by far the best vendor we hired, and I don't say that lightly! She is incredibly prepared and she asks a ton of questions ahead of time just to ensure she knows exactly 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

We loved using Cecilia for our wedding! She was super easy to work with and was very knowledgeable. She helped us look over our wedding schedule and gave us tips for things like cutting 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!

Cecilia photographed my wedding in September and was absolutely amazing. She captured my husbands and my love and the beauty of our venue so incredibly. I also told her one of the 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!!!

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Cecilia’s photos are.
We worked with her twice (once for an engagement shoot & again for our wedding) and I can’t wait to do more work 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!!!

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 :)

The first time I saw Cecilia's work on this exact page I know I wanted her to capture our wedding day. The first time we met her, I knew she was going to make our wedding even more 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!

We hired Cecilia for our engagement and wedding photos and couldn't be happier! From the very start, she was the perfect balance of professional organization and easygoing fun. In 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!

Cecilia is an absolute miracle worker. I surprised my fiancé by booking her to capture our engagement photos in Zion, where we got engaged in 2021. We (mainly me!) are a bit camera 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

The absolute biggest blessing for our wedding was stumbling upon Cecilia on the knot last year. We are from out of state and we fell in love with her from the moment we had our first 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!!

Communicating with her prior 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!!

Cec went above and beyond for our wedding day. My husband and I were planning a Park City wedding from NYC during Covid. Our original wedding date got postponed, which we had hired 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!

Planning a COVID wedding while living in another state was difficult, but working with Cecilia was a BREEZE! She was gracious while I dealt with plans being up in the air, had a really 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!

Let's start with LOOK NO FURTHER, YOUVE FOUND YOUR GIRL.
Whatever package you choose, I promise Cec is worth it ten fold.
Organized
Communicative
Punctual
Kind
Cec helped make our 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.

Cece is the kind of photographer who you can trust to OWN what she does. She is not a background "just pretend I'm not here!" photographer. She becomes part of the wedding, she sets 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!!

Cecilia was our photographer for our September wedding and she did an amazing job!!
I love the brightness and color in all of her photos which drew me towards having her as our photographer.
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.

We cannot say enough good things about Cecilia! We flew from Florida to Utah to elope/micro wedding at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Having never been there ourselves, having Cecilia 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!

I do not think I could adequately describe how amazing Cecilia is, but I will try. First of all, I planned my entire wedding on my own and it was insanely stressful, but Cecilia helped 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.

The best decision we made with our wedding was hiring her.

We were blown away by the professionalism and the quality of Cecilia's work. From our first meeting, I felt very comfortable with Cecilia and could tell she wanted to listen to what her brides wanted and work with them within their comfort zones. Everything was easy and customizable to fit exactly what my husband I were looking for. My husband and I are not used to being photographed, but Cecilia helped us feel so comfortable by helping us laugh and playing our favorite songs. I also really appreciated the quality of the photos! I could tell so much work went into the editing process and I'm still so blown away. I will be recommending Cecilia to all of my friends and can't wait to use her for other sessions in the future!

Cecilia was a dream to work with, long in advance to our wedding at Zion Ponderosa I reached out. I chose all my vendors by their vibe and communication, as I was planning from North Dakota. Cecilia was always timely, up front, flexible with questions and available while I was planning out details. I did both Boudoir and our Wedding Day with her. I must point out her willingness to accommodate an out of towner, recommend places to eat, and give advice as well as ask the right questions. It helped to get my day organized and all without a coordinator. Most every guest complimented Cec before our day had ended or have reached out with how pleased they were with her immense efforts and time with us. I’d hire my new friend Cecilia again and again!!
I also must mention her attention to detail; rings turned and no sunglasses. She did a fantastic job on my boudoir album it was a gift to my now husband, which he also loves the album. She even captured his reaction to opening the gift prior to our ceremony. Btw, she has great dance skills to keep the energy up too!! Cecilia used music during at of our bridal party and couples pics to keep a romantic mood. Love her!!

I am so incredibly happy that we chose to have Cecilia capture our day! Not only are her photos so beautiful (my friends and family have been obsessed), but her personality was so warm and open that it really helped us all feel super comfortable when taking our photos! She was so supportive of me (bride) when planning even though I was planning my wedding from across the country and I was so thankful for all of her help! On the day itself she had great ideas of shots that were fun and gorgeous and really captured the emotion of the day! She seemed so genuinely happy to be there and just made my day even better while capturing it beautifully. We all loved her!

Cecilia was a godsend and I'm so grateful we were able to find such a great photographer! She was so easy to work with throughout the whole process of doing our engagements and wedding photos. Even with multiple issues that popped up (forgetting items and having to changing venue due to covid19 ) Cecilia was willing to help us work through it. She's was easygoing and great at direct people to get the best photos.
My husband and I are not the most photogenic and outgoing people, but our engagement and wedding photos were the cutest things ever and we will forever cherish them. Cecilia is my go to photographer from now on and I've already been suggesting her to friends and family for their photography needs. Thank you, Cecilia! Hope you continue to flourish and we wish you nothing but the best!

We hired Cec to photograph our fairly small, indoor winter wedding after browsing through dozens of different wedding photographers online and asking around for recommendations. It was quite possibly the best decision we made in the wedding planning process.
Cec. Is. Incredible. She is extraordinarily professional and organized, so fun and easy to work with on wedding day, took care of every little detail (including a very meticulous timeline and itinerary of wedding day), and if that wasn't enough, the photos she took were nothing short of DAZZLING! I couldn't gush enough about how amazing she is. She has such a gift for capturing emotion through her lens utilizing both formal poses and casual shots, lighting, and background details. Our photographs evoke such strong memories and fondness for our special day, and it's impossible not to look through them again and again and just feel so lucky and grateful for having such a talented professional capture the day.
We also recently hired Cec to take our first ever family photos at the Salt Flats and again, she exceeded all expectations and made the process so fun and delightful. Naturally, the photos turned out simply gorgeous and we've been nonstop oohing and ahhing over them. I honestly can't wait to work with her again for the next future special event.

We went through SO many photographers to find the right fit, and I am so happy we found Cecilia to capture our wedding day. I met Cecilia through a video call because we live all the way in New York and from the start, she was kind, funny, professional, down to earth and just someone you want to be there and trust on one of the most important days of your life. Cecilia was so involved in the planning process and just wanted to make sure that we were on the same page, as far as what we wanted captured and timeline of events. We had to change our wedding date due to Covid, and she was so understanding and flexible and made the whole process so easy and pain free.
This isn't just a job for her, she really cares about what she does and takes her time to make sure each event she captures is perfect and that we all look our best. Even with our family wedding photos, she stopped to make sure all ties and accessories were nice and straight and centered. She came so prepared and it's the little details like that that make a photographer really special.
Our wedding day turned out so perfect and Cecilia made it so fun. For us, taking photos can be a bit awkward, but we didn't feel uncomfortable at all. We are so in love with all our photos and couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thank you, Cecilia!

She made our day so much less stressful and everything ran smoothly when she was around. Cecilia is also one of the sweetest people I've ever met, she made us feel so comfortable and genuinely happy in front of the camera.
She was quick with her turnaround time for sneak peeks, and I was absolutely blown away with how beautiful the our photos were. Cecilia was worth every penny I paid and then some!
I am so thrilled that we had her for our wedding, she was truly a joy to work with and I look forward to booking her again in the future for other photos! Thank you Cecilia for being a wonderful part of our day. I highly recommend her for your wedding!

Cece was so fun and extremely flexible to work with. When our 70 person wedding turned into a 7 person wedding during COVID, she was so accommodating. She sent sneak peaks really fast, and our gorgeous photos were delivered ahead of schedule. She was even able to direct our 6 year old cheese ball son to smile and sit still long enough to have his photos taken. She’s incredibly talented and I couldn’t imagine going with another photographer for our wedding.
