I highly recommend Cynthia for your wedding photographer. She was amazing at capturing beautiful photos. I never feel pretty in photos and had a lot of concern about how my wedding pictures would turn out. At the same time, I really wanted that... beautiful wedding photo to hang on the wall of our new home. Other family members had great photos of the whole family while they were together and I wanted to do that as well. Finally, we got married in the fall and I was hoping for some photos with the bright colors of fall. Cynthia did an amazing job capturing me and my husband so that we had several amazing photos to choose from to hang in our home. Additionally, I could tell her experience as a family photographer as she navigated nap time for my niece. Cynthia got stunning photos of family that rarely smile or are often not particularly photogenic. That was impressive!!
We chose to hire Cynthia for 9 hours. She first came to my home to take photos of me and my family, then to the church to take photos of my husband and his family, then the church ceremony, then formal photos with all wedding guests on the church grounds, then the bridal party and parents at the reception venue, cocktail hour, and finally the reception ending with dancing. My sisters both hired teams of photographers, so I was a little nervous that I would get all the photos I wanted with just Cynthia. Cynthia’s photos came out better than either of my sisters’ photographers.
We also had Cynthia do a set of engagement photos for us. We were getting married where I grew up and not where we currently live, so we had limited options on dates. We ended up settling on a holiday weekend, with Cynthia cutting out time from family events for us. The chosen time ended up being rainy. Since we didn’t have a lot of options to reschedule, we went ahead with the photos. They came out wonderful with beautiful colors and great lighting. She found just the right angles so that no one would ever know it was raining—except for the one with the umbrella on a bridge. :) While I was disappointed it rained, the fact the photos still came out great gave me a good feeling for our wedding day.
The only downside to Cynthia is that it did take the 6-8 weeks she told us it would for our photos. That was a long time to wait in the moment, but totally worth it in the end.
I hope to someday take family photos with Cynthia again.
