Cynthia Abbott Photography

Cynthia was wonderful to work with! She is very professional, has an excellent eye, and we were so pleased with our wedding photos. She has a knack for catching the perfect moment in her photos and was very easy to work with. We highly recommend her as a wedding photographer!

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.

We have had the privilege of working with Cynthia on multiple occasions, and highly recommend her services! My husband and I first met Cynthia at my sister and brother-in-law's wedding a few years ago-- she was so wonderful to work with and produced beautiful photos ... we knew we had to hire her for our own wedding! We started with an engagement session, which was the best idea, because my husband and I were a bit awkward in front of the camera to start. Cynthia was warm and personable, and helped coax us out of our shells. She worked with us and helped us figure out what "poses" felt most genuine to us. The resulting photos were beautiful- perfect for our save the dates. We had a very small COVID wedding this past June, and Cynthia was very accommodating to work with during the craziness of the pandemic. Our ceremony was outside, only with immediate family. Cynthia did a wonderful job of capturing our special moment from afar (social distancing!) I really appreciate how she was able to capture beautiful photos without it feeling like she was intruding upon the intimate ceremony. We loved taking photos with her after the ceremony as well-- because we had done the engagement shoot, we felt very comfortable working with her, and were able to work better together as a team to capture the best photos for us. We are looking forward to seeing the photos she captured of my new niece during a newborn shoot. And, we are excited to work with her again for wedding round 2 (aka, the celebration with more family and friends)! Thank you, Cynthia!

Cynthia Abbot Photography did a spectacular job of capturing the special details of our intimate ceremony. We hired her based on other reviews for our July 11th wedding. We had to cancel that big wedding due to COVID and settle for a civil ceremony. About 20 friends and family gathered to watch us tie the knot. Cynthia made a day that seemed somewhat underwhelming feel very special. S she took a lot of care to make sure we got all of the photos we needed and then had some suggestions for ones we hadn't thought about. The quality of the photos and timeliness and receiving them was more than I expected. We will definitely hire her for our "real" wedding whenever time will allow for that.
