Cindy DeSau Photography

th of use can be a little uncomfortable in front of a camera. Furthermore, there were some tweaks we wanted to make to the overall ‘traditional’ timeline that she was happy to accommodate us with, like we decided to forgo detail pictures for more first look and portrait time before the ceremony and we had a private vow exchange with just our parents and wedding party after the traditional that we wanted shot. Additionally, we both wanted pictures of us getting ready with our groups and Cindy was happy to set us up with a second photographer who gelled with our vibes just as well as she did. Her turn around was quick and she provided us with so many amazing shots and has been incredibly communicative during the entire process. She was very familiar with our venue and happy to show us all the best little corners for great photo opportunities! We were both so grateful to have her incredible vision on our wedding!

ery careful with detail and she knows exactly where to place everyone and everything so that it photographs best. Every time I look back at our wedding photos I can’t help but smile because of how beautiful they all came out! Cindy and her assistant were at the venue from the beginning of the day when the bridal party was getting ready to the end of the night when we had a sparkler sendoff, and she captured every moment in between. Cindy knew some of the most beautiful scenic areas around the venue where she brought us to take photos. Most photographers would’ve picked one or two decent spots, Cindy brought us all around the property to ensure we have multiple photo ops, and I can’t even decide which one I love the most because they were all beautiful. I will recommend Cindy to every person I know who is getting married in the near future!

lighting and angles with her eyes closed. The photos turned out even more beautiful than I could have imagined, but possibly more importantly, she put me at ease every step of the way. Her communication was fantastic and she answered every one of my questions and then some I didn't think of! On the day of our wedding, she was professional, kind, helpful, and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. She even stayed longer to capture some extra unexpected moments. Even months after our wedding, she checked in to make sure we had all of our photos. If you are thinking of booking with Cindy, look no further because she is the best!!

She was there on time. We had set a timeline with extra buffer room. I was the bride and went over to meet her to put my dress on around 1215, the time we set. She was not ready. She wanted extra dress and veil on hanger pics fine, I trusted her the professional but it took another 15 minutes, I had very bad wedding nerves and then my dress took forever to put on (not her fault) but it ran our day late and we had to skip my first look with my brothers (fine), but she wanted to skip my first look with my dad (I said absolutely not, we will skip bridal party photos instead). We had a large bridal, but the area of the venue where we took our photos was not good lighting and we do not have 1 single good entire bridal party photo. My largest other complaint is we had very specific instructions for photos of decor. I spent hours perfecting and putting lots of thought into special bar signs, lyric signs, guest book and table signs. Cindy did ask about details but did not get enough photos day of. Not 1 photo of our reception table decor other than our sweetheart table. Odd angles of our guest book and seating cards. Not 1 photo of our bar signs!! I spent $200 on our bar signs and not 1 photo! The lady who made them, wanted photos and I had to tell her sorry, I have 0. Very upsetting. Cindy does spent lots of time getting the perfect photo. She does have a very creative eye and did work very hard for us. She did come up to me, the bride, and asked where her tip was at the end of the wedding, my brother was handing out the tips, I had 0 idea so I had to ask my brother in law to give her cash so it would not be awkward. If you want super creative, more posed photos that look like art work, Cindy is perfect. If you want more silly, unposed and fun photos, look elsewhere. She made it seem like she would do more candid than posed, but I would say she does more posed. She also does not do black and white photos even though she has a few on her timeline. We asked her for some, and she said you can select black and white when you print from the gallery, but send a few and I can edit to be black and white. At that point, we decided to just figure out how to filter ourselves. Again, very creative beautiful eye and she will work very hard to get the perfect lighting for your photos.

us with the best way to pose, she also made sure to get every important picture on the big day! Our venue was extremely crowded but she was able to find great spots for us. She communicated with us in a timely manner and helped put together a timeline for the day of and responded quickly to my messages! Highly recommended!!

ll in 2022. She created the MOST amazing gallery including both modern and classic photos!

event and accommodating day of), her photography is incredibly skilled and she’s very thorough. The photos we have from our wedding are both beautiful and sentimental. Cindy captured such emotional and thoughtful shots that we will cherish forever. We cannot be happier with her work! To quote my mother-in-law “ Just phenomenal. Cindy captured everyone in their true happy authentic light. I made a favorites album and it’s amazing. I keep going back through too.“ We’d hire Cindy again in a heartbeat.

at ease and made us comfortable during every photo. She knows every inch of that property, and creates the most beautiful shots. Cindy pays attention to every detail, and it shows in her work. She brought our Christmas wedding dreams to life, and everyone who sees our pictures is stunned by how unique and beautiful they are. When COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding, Cindy was there with us every step of the way. She truly is the best!

mmend!

est pictures. Our pictures are so beautiful, and she captured the beauty and the atmosphere of our dream wedding perfectly. We will cherish the photos for years to come, and we are incredibly grateful to Cindy for the magnificent job she did!

Her pricing packages were also the most competitive. We were looking for someone who really knew HollyHedge and Cindy is an expert. She had fantastic recommendations for the best spots to get photos, and I can't believe how even the lighting came out in the finished shots with how sunny it was that day. She was very professional and friendly, and got great coverage of our day considering we didn't add on a second shooter. Very imaginative and got some really interesting, artistic shots. Overall we had a great experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

vered the most beautiful images we wanted! Her knowledge of the venue made it so easy and comfortable, we couldn't have been happier!

om the day capture all of the love and joy we felt, and we are really enjoying looking through them with our friends and family. We are so thrilled to have these photos that capture our wedding day!

the day go so smoothly. She knew how to catch the best lighting., found the best spots at our venue and created gorgeous pictures. She got our pictures back to us very quickly and they were exactly what we were hoping for. Thank you Cindy!

ook our input in locations, poses, etc. In addition, she worked with us as we rescheduled our initial date due to COVID. We love how all the photos came out!! They truly captured the joy of our special day and are glad we have such amazing pictures to look back on as the years go by. We highly recommend Cindy for your wedding day photographer.

ce I’m not the most comfortable when I know there’s a camera (or multiple) on me. I’m not exaggerating when I say I felt completely at ease from the minute Cindy and her team started. Cindy has a calm and pleasant demeanor, and nothing felt rushed. I felt like I was taking the day in as we got photos. Months before the wedding, Cindy called to ask about our vision. She suggested that I revise the proposed wedding day timeline I mapped out so we wouldn’t have to rush for the most important photos, and let us know how much time was needed for each round of photos (getting ready, first look, bridal party, family, extended family, etc). She was excited to hear that I wanted first look pictures. When I’d Google searched first look examples, many of them involved one soon-to-be-spouse sneaking toward the other, thus focusing on one of their reactions more than the other. I told Cindy I wanted to turn around at the same time as my husband, and she not only accommodated this wish, but executed it well. I’m so happy I can treasure the moment frame by frame from each perspective. Cindy was also glad to hear that we wanted golden hour photos outdoors. On cue, we were snuck out during the dinner hour. Before she and the team packed up, we also got sparkler “send-off” photos at the gate of the venue. The team has the gadgets to ensure the best lighting, so if anyone’s hoping to get photos at sunset or after dark but is worried about them “turning out,” fear not. There are thousands of high-quality photos to choose from, and many from different angles of the same moments, so it was hard to pick our favorites. Believe me when I say the magical atmosphere is captured perfectly in every photo. We’re delighted with how many fantastic pictures there are of our family, bridal party, and friends, too. Everyone who has seen the photos is pleased. My husband and I can’t stop looking at them over and over-- it’s like we’re reliving that day!

me. Our photos are so beautiful! Cindy was very easy to work with and efficient on our timeline. She highlighted all of the important moments and people attending our special day. We also got our photos much quicker than expected!! I recommend Cindy for your wedding day photographer.

and what would be important to me for my wedding. We spoke several times leading up to the wedding; and she showed up the day of energized and excited. Cindy is kind, professional and genuinely cares about making the day exactly what the bride wants. I can't stop looking at my photos!!!!

ink you would want but now are your absolute favorites. She works nonstop throughout the entire day with a smile on her face. In a video we can see her running and leaping over cables to get a wonderful picture for us.

aking images. She is also a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier!

was gracious and committed to making sure she did everything possible to be sure we were happy with the finished products. We were grateful to have her on our team!

ience and can work quickly during your time frame to take the photos of your dreams! Cindy thoughtfully edits and puts together the best shots for you. She has been responsive and a true delight to work with! I could not recommend anyone more than her! Her partner photographer, Donna, was also great to work with! :)

nd she was so genuine and personable (on top of her pictures being so beautiful!!) We were able to meet with her in her beautiful home (pre coronavirus!) and she went over all of the package options and showed us so many beautiful samples of her work... we were confident leaving that day that she was the right person to work with! Cindy stayed in touch throughout the whole process and scheduled multiple calls with me to go over the day (and rescheduled them for me also when I had to cancel a few times- she was so understanding and flexible!) so by the time the day came, we were all so comfortable with her and we trusted her vision for the day. Everyone raved about how professional and talented she was! Cindy made the day extra special for us and made it so low stress (which was needed because we were also new parents!) Cindy really worked with us every step of the way to ensure our experience was memorable and wonderful. Our pictures are so precious to us as they captured our first day as a family so beautifully. Thank you for everything, Cindy!

erstanding and accommodating and captured our family in beautiful photos that we will enjoy for many years and generations to come.

final album beautifully. I’m so thankful to her for our memories.

d after our wedding day. As we look back through our photos, we’re able to relive every wonderful moment of our wedding day. The quality of the photos are exceptional and we had many of them enlarged, printed and framed. When guests come over, everyone comments on the incredible photos. As we approach our third wedding anniversary, Cindy is now putting together a custom-bound Leather Craftsman photo album I’m going to give to my wife as a gift. We couldn’t be happier with the decision to hire Cindy to capture every moment of our wedding day in the most beautiful way possible, from the first look through the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. If you want to capture lasting memories of your wedding day with the highest quality photography, look no further than Cindy DeSau.

l be looking at these photographs for a lifetime. I highly recommend her!!!!

of our pictures before to get them out of the way! Cindy cares so much about capturing your day. She has such a big heart and you can truly tell that she loved what she does! We got our pictures about a month after the wedding, I believe this is an incredibly reasonable amount of time! The photos were out of this world, everything that we wanted and more! Some traditional, some so creative. She is so good at taking advantage of the space that you choose. I believe that what Cindy does is such an important part of your day and the memories that you take away, and because of the person that she is, you will love what you see in her photos!

t have asked for anything more!

dicated to her work. Thank you for making my special day so very special and memorable!

I had so much fun looking through our wedding pictures and remembering all the special moments from the day.

's portfolio of work, I knew I had found our photographer. Her photographs were pieces of art. Cindy worked to ensure we were comfortable ahead of the wedding date and went the extra mile when I started to get the wedding jitters. She ensured the day would be as close to perfect as humanly possible, and that it was! Not only did Cindy capture some of the most amazing photos, but she was super encouraging and supportive throughout the day. I felt like a princess! So grateful for the memories captured and that Cindy was on the other end of the lens capturing them.

. She was a pleasure to work with.

y, but her work is beyond anything you could dream of! My entire family LOVED the stunning photographs and we will always have tons and tons of photographs to cherish. Her attention to detail is truly spot on and she has pure skill when it comes to finding the best lighting, posing people comfortably in a visually pleasing manner, and capturing real emotions. She took photos of every single wanted moment, so it is really easy to relive the whole day by reminiscing over the photographs. You can absolutely tell that Cindy is FULLY committed to bringing you the best work possible and exactly everything you desire. For some of my ideas, she kindly proposed better ideas and I’m really glad she did because she knows what she is talking about when it comes to getting the best shot in every photo. It would be silly to waste time at certain areas if the lighting just isn’t right. She is very experienced in forming a super thorough and easy schedule that all of your vendors can go off of. She was also very good at keeping on schedule. Her set price is very reasonable and honestly worth every penny!! Cindy is the photographer you WANT because you will be able to relax knowing you can trust her to bring you absolutely perfect, heartwarming, vibrant and stunning photographs!

tes having his picture taken. He was quite uncomfortable during the e-session but somehow Cindy managed to get an album’s worth of gorgeous shots where he looks at ease. He was also dreading the afternoon photo shoot the day of the wedding, but again, Cindy and her colleague Daniel (we had a deluxe package with 2 photographers) were great at putting him at ease. In fact, I was the nervous/emotional one that day so it’s a wonder Cindy captured some of me looking happy and relaxed. Cindy has an eye for natural lighting, and many photos are bathed in dreamy light. We received the images from our wedding within 2 weeks and can’t wait for the album. I’ll just reiterate how great Cindy is to work with….which as anyone planning a wedding knows, is not the case for everyone. Her packages suit a range of budgets and needs. You can’t go wrong selecting Cindy as your wedding photographer.

out of 10 stars!! With Cindy, you can't go wrong

options for snow photos. The day of it was pouring rain. She didn't bat an eye (just look at some of her rain photos in her gallery if you don't believe me). Thankfully the sun came out right before our first look and she was able to capture some beautiful shots of the sun on our faces. If you want beautiful, natural looking photos of your wedding Cindy is the perfect fit.

They had a lot of gorgeous photography around their office and one name kept popping up on our favorites: Cindy DeSau. We knew immediately we had to meet with her! We were already sold on her photography and her style but when we met her we instantly made a connection. It was obvious how passionate she is about what she does and how much she truly cares about each person she works with. We saw this passion come to life when she was describing a first look encounter she had photographed. Cindy was the one and only photographer we saw - we didn't need to look anywhere else. We booked a package that included engagement photos which we had done in May. I had a vision of capturing my husband and I as we truly are and in our favorite places. The issue was, one of our favorite places and the place where he proposed was Sea Isle City. So, Cindy did a shoot with us in Doylestown capturing our love of books at the bookshop and our love of movies with with the idea to arrange our names and wedding date on the marquee AND she agreed to drive all the way to Sea Isle in one day to make my vision come true! Those photos though, even though we are married now my husband and I STILL scroll through those photos semi regularly. Cindy not only captured us in our element but she just caught "us" who we are as individuals and a couple on camera for us to have forever. Naturally, this made us incredibly excited to work with her again during our wedding. We felt like we had already come to know Cindy and the work she puts forth but nothing could prepare us for how wonderful our wedding photos turned out to be. Cindy, true to her word, goes with the flow of the day and keeps completely calm. She had her work cut out for her with my husband being considerably late on the big day! She didn't let anything affect her and was able to deliver us absolutely stunning photos at the gorgeous Hollyhedge Estate. It's literally impossible to pick favorites from her photos. It feels amazing reliving our best day through her lens. She caught absolutely everything. Everybody, Cindy DeSau is who you want photographing you!

onalism, creativity, warmth and the stunning photos she and her assistant took. We wanted a lot of different things and every photo Cindy took was gorgeous, flattering and creative. My husband and I, our families and guests look amazing. It was raining so we could not take some photos we had planned- despite this, Cindy figured out how to take even better photos than we had imagined, taking the best views of our venue. We were so worried about our wedding photos but with Cindy, we were in EXCELLENT hands. She captured the beauty and energy of the day and made us feel at ease on a stressful day! Could not have asked for a better photographer.

emely creative and has a great eye for detail. Cindy truly captured every moment of our special day. I highly recommend Cindy as a wedding photographer!

the bride and groom, just what we were looking for! So often photographers 'get in the way' of the wedding - from blocking the guests at the ceremony to bumping into people on the dance floor - Cindy was almost invisible - its hard to imagine how she got the incredible photos she did. We have recommended Cindy to other couples getting married and know they will be as thrilled as we were!

tion to squeeze out every last bit of detail on our special day. She worked independently and yet her finished product makes it seem like she was working with a team of 10!! "How on earth did she get all those angles so quickly?" I asked myself. Her eye for beauty is unparalleled especially if she is familiar with the location. Her eye for lighting is such that she does not need a team of lighting techs around her getting in everyone's way. She moves fast, works diligently, creatively and quietly to capture the very best of your special event. And as for wedding party photos, not only does she have the creativity and expertise to make suggestions on her own, she is incredibly patient to listen to exactly what you would like in your shots. Miss DeSau exceeded our expectations exponentially.

gaged couple who planned their wedding from the other side of country), and she captured every important moment perfectly. Cindy went above and beyond for us, when it rained all morning the day of the photos she had a plan, any obstacle you might encounter for your wedding day photos Cindy has a solution. Finally she is committed to making sure you and your spouse get exactly what you want. When the time on our contract ran out she stayed an extra hour to make sure we got the evening photos we had wanted. Using Cindy DeSau photography was one of the best decisions husband and I made for the wedding, and we cannot recommend her enough!

ely recommend!
