Cynthia Mae Photograph

heard, understood, and calm. I knew that she would bring her beautiful artistry to our wedding day but, most importantly, her intentional, kind, and creative spirit. And we were right! Cynthia was incredible from the start and throughout the entire process. She was always just a text away, supporting us through logistical issues, helping to build timelines, and answering our crazy questions. On the day of our wedding, she was there for every moment. She captured venue shots, family portraits, candid laughter, overflowing emotions, pure joy, and lots of silliness. She was game for all our requests. And she ensured that we had all of the photos that we wanted before leaving, including a brief but fun intermission for evening photos outside the venue. I am also astounded by how quickly she turned around our previews (the next day - what??!?) and our full album just a few weeks later! The photos are simply gorgeous and we couldn't be happier. My friend took one look at our album and said "I don't envy you because there is no way you're going to be able to pick just a few of these to print because they're all INCREDIBLE." And I agree 100%! Thank you to Cynthia for so thoughtfully and beautifully recording our day. We will treasure these photos forever!

elf - stunning, real, and inspired. Her level of care and close attention to detail were apparent from the start. She sought to learn all about our excitements and concerns for the big day - any and all details so that she could bring our vision to life in photos. Her system to collect information and document plans was streamlined, professional, and made collaboration easy. At the same time, she was only a text message away. At any stage where I felt stuck with our timeline or overwhelmed, Cynthia was ready to jump on the phone and talk me through it. I felt like I had a friend coaching me through - a friend who knows weddings like the back of her hand. More than anything, photo shoots with Cynthia were so fun. From the engagement photo shoot to wedding day portraits, our time with Cynthia was so enjoyable - a time where we got to be together, laugh, and celebrate the moment. And I can’t even begin to describe how beautifully the moments were captured. The small details, the candid memories, everything. Thank you Cynthia! With love, Sophie and Nick Deely

om initial outreach to the day of and came to the venue super prepared. She made us feel so comfortable and supported throughout the day and kept us on schedule. We were amazed at how quickly she turned around preview photos (within days) and our album of 800+ photos. She captured our love and happiness so well in all of our photos, and we will treasure these forever! Thank you, Cynthia, for being the best!!!

he took the time to get to know us, understanding exactly what we wanted in our photos, and even offered helpful suggestions based her experience. We unfortunately had to cancel our original wedding due to natural disaster damage, we ended up rescheduling and relocating our wedding all in 2 weeks and Cynthia made the process SO easy and went above and beyond to make sure our day was the perfect day for us. On the wedding day, Cynthia was professional, attentive, and truly captured the essence of the day. She had a remarkable ability to be in the right place at the right time, taking candid shots that perfectly reflected the joy and emotion of the day, while also coordinating beautiful formal portraits. We were particularly impressed with how she made everyone feel comfortable, ensuring that our friends and family were relaxed, which resulted in natural, stunning photos. The final images were beyond our expectations. Each photo tells a story, from the quiet moments to the big celebrations, and we love how Cynthia was able to capture the intimate, special moments we may have missed in the whirlwind of the day. The quality of the photos is exceptional, and we couldn’t be happier with the final gallery that we received within 24 hours. We highly recommend Cynthia to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and passionate photographer. Thank you again for preserving the memories of our wedding day in such a beautiful way!

and made me feel like she was my good friend from the start. She is professional, talented, organized, trustworthy, and brings so much excitement yet calmness to the photoshoot process. She always asked the question of what WE wanted vs. putting us in a box or prioritizing what others may wanted from us. She was always there to reiterate that it was our day and that there was no "protocol" to follow. She made us feel calm and at ease with her confident and reassuring presence. On our wedding day, we had a day-of coordinator but she so effortlessly was so helpful on keeping all of us on track, communicating with our vendors to get what she needed from them, keeping us on the timeline we had previously discussed, and made sure to adjust our plan/day as necessary which made everything run SO smoothly. She made it apparent that she wanted us to just cease the moments of our wedding day above all, which I appreciated so much. The photos turned out as authentic as she is and it shines through. Cynthia went above and beyond and we could not recommend her enough!

everything we wanted. She was calm and adaptable. She perfectly capture the authentic moments of our day. She was incredibly patient, yet efficient especially with group photos and sending back our gallery. Cynthia’s beautiful images we will cherish for the rest of our life. Every time we look at the photos they bring us back to the joy and love we felt on our wedding day! I would highly recommend Cynthia for your wedding day!!

mizing a package that would work for our needs, and continued to be that extra support I didn't know I needed on the day of our wedding. Cynthia is professional and takes charge in the best way possible. Her portfolio is beautiful so I knew we were in good hands, but I was still blown away by our album. I am so grateful to have all of these memories captured in the most beautiful way. It was truly the best day of our lives and it comes through in the photos Cynthia captured for us.

otos. That’s how great her eye/composition/editing process is. Cynthia was collaborative—asked for Pinterest boards and location ideas to prepare for the process. She even pulled up my board mid-shoot to make sure we got all the shots wanted. I can’t wait to see these photos on our walls for decades and I’m already hoping to reach out for family photos next year. Seriously amazing time with her. My husband now even uses some of her posing techniques in informal photos we’ve taken since!

e family members together for those big group pictures. She also really gets to know you and your spouse and has such a warm, welcoming personality. We had initially booked her for a different date and had to change it to move our wedding out an entire year, AND changed the venue to a place that was not only difficult to get to travel-wise, but required a lot more logistics in general. Despite this, she was incredibly flexible, easy to work with, and so game for any changes that we made! Not to mention the absolute best part of working with her, apart from all of those other great factors, is really how incredible her pictures turn out. They captured our wedding perfectly. I felt so confident in having her as my photographer, that I did not hire a videographer. I am more than pleased to say that I didn't need one based on how great the photos turned out and how many pictures she took throughout the day! We even had to miss out on being able to go to a couple different places to get pictures near our venue (just due to time and choosing to be at our cocktail hour instead), and I am still incredibly happy with the overall result. Now, as I am going back and printing them for family members for the holidays, I am always reminded and so impressed by her work and work ethic. It should be known that she had an incredibly busy weekend with our wedding on a Friday, another the day after, and her birthday the day after - and we still somehow received nearly 60(?) edited photos the MORNING AFTER our wedding! I am currently a resident physician, so I feel uniquely situated to recognize when a person goes above and beyond, and clearly works their tail off on every project, and Cynthia really does that. We also never felt like we were just another wedding to her, her kindness and caring always shined through in every interaction via text, phone call, or in person. I'm convinced working with Cynthia is not like working with other wedding photographers, mostly because with her you get the entire package and more. She is a master coordinator of all things leading up to the wedding and should honestly consider taking up wedding planning as a side gig too because she helped our day run SO smoothly. I cannot say enough good words about our experience with her (and her second photographer that helped throughout the day as well!) and recommend her highly to all of my family, friends, and anyone that will listen. We're super grateful and so glad we entrusted the right person with capturing one of our biggest days of our lives!

ions were answered leading up to the day. I was so excited to see the sneak peak pictures a few days after the wedding. I was impressed at how quickly we got her final pictures back too. I look forward to using her again in the future. Highly recommend Cynthia to anyone. We can’t say enough good things about her!!!

unique ability to put my husband and I at ease in front of the camera. She really focused on candid/natural looking shoots, nothing felt too cheesy or posed. She was extremely organized and was very effectively/efficiently able to wrangle our LARGE wedding party (20 of us in total!!). We got 40 preview pictures the day following our wedding! I was shocked at how quickly she was able to get us some previews. In my *unbiased* opinion, she is the best photographer in West Michigan (both for quality AND price). I cannot recommend Cynthia enough! Thank you so much for capturing our special day and making us feel so special!!

excels in both film and digital shots. Her eye for a good shot is something special. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and such a kind, reassuring presence on such a stressful day. We are so honored to have had her capture our special day and to have such treasured photos to look back at forever. I could not recommend her enough.

She is friendly, engaging, and extremely organized which made the whole process easy and enjoyable! On our wedding day, she did the best job capturing our special moments with beautiful photos while keeping everything organized and on time. We didn't have to worry about a thing! Her results are STUNNING and we could not be more pleased! She was such a crucial part of our big day and we truly could not recommend her enough! Thank you for everything, Cynthia!!

etest human, she will make not only your wedding day amazing but will help tremendously with your wedding preparation. My husband and I were extremely nervous before our engagement shoot as neither of us have been in front of a camera a ton. Cynthia talked us through everything and made us feel like naturals in no time. One thing we loved about her is that she includes an engagement session in her packages which helped put our minds at ease on our wedding day and not be so stressed about how we looked in photos. On your wedding day she has a way of maintaining her poise and making sure you get all of the shots you want while also knowing your timeline and keeping things on schedule. She also has a way of capturing all of your small details beautifully for you to remember years down the road. If light and airy, timeless, beautiful photos are what you’re looking for then Cynthia is your person.

the raw emotions is so special. We now have the most perfect pictures to look back on from the best day ever to help us remember all the emotions!!! Not only does she take amazing pictures but her help with the timeline & keeping me calm the whole day!! Can’t recommend Cynthia enough!!!

start to finish and creative in all of her shots. She will make sure before and during the event you get every shot you want. The preview photos for both our engagement and wedding day were shared within days. We have been getting endless compliments on our pictures and opted to have the bound album made. I can't say enough great things. Highly recommend!!

d how fast she is to deliver images without sacrificing quality. We had so much fun meeting Cynthia during our engagement shoot and knew without a doubt we had made the right decision because of how comfortable she made us feel. She gave us plenty of variety in recommended poses, was flexible with us through multiple outfit changes, and captured our love perfectly. On our wedding day, she was able to lead a huge bridal party through photos with ease and provided fun/ clear directions to everyone to make sure we got all of the shots that were important to us. She was always there to answer questions, provide tips, and make us feel at ease. She delivered SO many wonderful sneak peeks the day after our wedding, and soon after an entire album of images that we've looked at basically every day since :). We love how she organizes the album so that it's easy to find the images you're looking for (family vs. bridal party vs. portraits of my husband and I) and the quality/ quantity she delivers is truly unmatched. We would HIGHLY recommend Cynthia to anyone!

I felt like I was speaking with a friend. Cynthia has a great way of balancing her recommendations and professional opinion with what each couple wants. It felt like we were on the same wavelength throughout our planning process. We LOVED our engagement shoot and the photos turned out beautifully. She made both of us feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was so excited to see her on our wedding day! She brought two additional shooters and both were wonderful. Our families felt comfortable in front of the camera and the team worked together exceptionally well. They did an amazing job keeping us on (and honestly ahead of) schedule the entire day. Cynthia also smoothly accommodated every single thing I asked for on the wedding day (like a last-minute mini “first look” with my brother). Cynthia is also adding value to her services by providing film photography which was a beautiful bonus that we will always treasure. I can’t praise the team enough for their wonderful work and keeping this bride calm on the wedding day.

s. I was blown away with the amount of photos she had sent us the morning after our wedding- she went above and beyond! We have received so many compliments from family and friends about how amazing our photos are. Highly recommend her to capture your wedding day!!

ve! Her pictures are beyond beautiful with the brightness and timeless look! From the start Cynthia was SO sweet and accommodating! She picked the absolutely best area! I was so nervous for our engagement shoot but Cynthia made us feel so comfortable and the pictures were beautiful and she got the cutest pictures of our pup! Throughout the whole wedding planning process she was there to help with any questions I had and to show us how everything should go so we felt prepared! Our wedding day was so stressful at first but once Cynthia arrived everything felt so calm and relaxed. She has a way of making you feel so comfortable and cared about! The pictures from our wedding day truly turned out beautiful! Better than I ever expected!! She made my family and the whole bridal party look amazing! Some of the pictures that she took, I cried when I saw them because she really captured the smallest moments of the day that meant so much! Cynthia is the sweetest and was the best decision we made for our wedding day!! We can’t wait to have her be our photographer in the future!🤍

my engagement photos and wedding photographs!! Cynthia Is extremely personable and makes anyone doing pictures feel comfortable. Her eye to detail is top knotch. I will continue to recommend Cynthia (: .

! Cynthia is literally magic - between her film camera (so cool!) and her digital shooting, we got every desired shot we wanted 🙂 She was the hype girl I needed in my wedding day and rolled with the punches as the weather and our schedule changed throughout the day. She is absolutely 110% worth the investment in preserving your day 🤍

east photogenic subjects (like us!) feel comfortable in front of the camera. I trusted her to capture our day beautifully which made our wedding day stress-free. And to top it all off, she sent us 135+ pictures withing 24 hours of our wedding. Seriously?! She goes above and beyond for all of her clients, and you just MUST hire her for your wedding!

her company while she took our pictures! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer to capture the most heartwarming moments.

, comments, or concerns we had. Cynthia is very professional, but also loves to have fun too! We had gotten multiple comments from our wedding guests regarding how wonderful Cynthia was. It is clear that Cynthia truly loves what she does. And not to mention, the photos she takes are absolutely stunning! We would not have wanted anyone else to take our wedding photos. We would highly recommend Cynthia, and hope to work with her again in the future!

it?" The answer, is unequivocally "yes." Cynthia is worth it for her uncanny ability to make you feel at ease behind a camera. She is worth it for her easygoing and affable nature. She is worth it because her communication and responsiveness are second to none. She is worth it because her photographs will make you feel as if you waltzed off the page of a wedding magazine. Rest assured, dear bride-to-be, you are not hiring the camera, you are hiring the person behind the camera. And I can wholeheartedly say that person is incredible.

Naturally, I was a little panicked about finding a replacement on such short notice but Cynthia responded quickly and was able to work with us. I am so glad we went with her to capture our wedding memories. From the first message she was friendly and always available to answer any questions we had. The day of the wedding she was both personable and professional. We haven’t had professional photos as a couple before so we were glad when she helped us with posing. The poses she directed us in were natural and she was open to our input. When we were feeling awkward she joked around with us and made us laugh. It was very comfortable being photographed by Cynthia and she was flexible with our plans. We wanted photos at the wedding venue and some at Saugatuck Dunes State Park (about 20 min away) and she was so accommodating even though we had to walk 1 mile to the beach at the second location. She was pleasant to talk to and get to know during our walk. Finally, the photos themselves were gorgeous. We got them back within a month and there were about 250 photos in our album. Considering how short our ceremony was and that most of the photos were just the two of us, it was surprising that there were so many. They were all edited beautifully. I just had most of them printed and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. We plan on doing a second ceremony with family and friends in 2023 and we definitely want to work with her again. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, you can’t go wrong with Cynthia.

incredibly attentive to us while we planned our unique wedding day and was so helpful and flexible when it came to our planning. However, the greatest thing that Cynthia brought to our wedding day was her attitude and presence. Brides, your wedding photographer will be there with you while you are getting ready for the most special day of your life- their aura and personality cannot be overlooked! Cynthia brought such a light and calming presence with her (while still being a complete professional) to an otherwise hectic "getting ready" time, and that alone was enough to make me so grateful we chose her to be our photographer. Cynthia was so easy-going but also worked incredibly hard to get the most amazing shots of us, all the while taking into consideration how we were feeling on our day. Our photos were so beautiful, we cannot recommend Cynthia enough!

ity list. She was one of the first ones that I had found and reached out to. I honestly emailed at least 30 different photographers in total and I kept going back to her and comparing everyone to her every single time. Not only because she had the best package for the best price with the most gorgeous light/airy vibe, but she was SO enthusiastic and personable right away! From the moment we booked with her we knew we made the absolute best decision!! We booked our engagement session shortly after and we finally got to meet her in person. We both felt like we had known her forever because of how comfortable she made us feel. Neither of us had any idea what to expect, but she made it sooo easy and so much fun we didn't want our session to end! She coached us through what to do the entire time to get the most genuine candid photos that turned out beautifully. This made us SO excited to hang out with her again on wedding day! Throughout the planning process she was incredibly organized and on top of things, which was a major plus because that's totally what I needed. She was always checking in on me, always quick to respond if I had a question, created a day of timeline with me, and always had the best tips/advice to make wedding day run perfectly smooth! On wedding day, she just made everything so effortless. She knew where to be and when to be there. We had a large bridal party and she handled our rowdy group with grace. She not only captures the important big moments throughout the day, but also the small behind the scenes moments that are some of the most memorable that we will forever cherish! Less than 24 hours later she gave us over a hundred sneak peaks that were just breathtaking. That is just unheard of. Our friends & family could not stop raving about her as a person and her amazing talent!! Neither could we! Bottom line - Cynthia is absolutely wonderful at what she does. She takes it to the next level and was so much more to us than our photographer! She made our whole experience so much better than we could have ever imagined!! -K & S Spears <3

tographer. We found out about Cynthia through Instagram and immediately reached out to her. We immediately loved that she wanted to be as personal as possible. She was willing to offer advice on any aspect, cater to exactly what we envisioned, and be a pillar of support. It meant a lot, especially in this past year when things were so uncertain and unstable. Cynthia is so organized and it shows her professionalism. On the day of the wedding, she proved to be incredibly flexible. We had severe weather the day of and she was very creative in poses and solutions to ensure that we would still receive the pictures and memories we imagined. We also loved that she was checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We loved that she sends the photos in an extremely timely manner and they turned out amazing. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with them. Everyone who sees them tells us how beautiful the pictures are. We are so happy that Cynthia Boyle was our photographer to capture the moments on our wedding day. We cannot recommend her enough!

cannot possibly wrap your head around it until you have lived it and FELT how fast a day can actually go. Cynthia kept us on schedule and was a calm presence and delivered photographs to us that were so effortlessly beautiful and in only a few weeks!  We find ourselves looking through them over and over again finding our "new favorite" picture from the day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our wedding day in a way that blew our expectations out of the water!  The Graumans

ul memories to look back on for life. On top of that, they are a huge part of your big day, so you want someone you enjoy as well. Cynthia was AMAZING. Our pictures were stunning. We were blown away and got so many compliments on how amazing they turned out. She captured our sweetest moments and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Cynthia truly is an artist and has mastered her craft. On top of her incredible work, Cynthia was a gem to work with. I was a COVID bride and not only was she flexible with the several rescheduled dates, but she was encouraging and supportive through it all. By the time our wedding day came, I felt like we were great friends. We had a very large and quite rowdy wedding party. Cynthia was able to (nicely) keep everyone in line to ensure we were on time and that the pictures turned out. I couldn’t have pictured a better person/team to capture the best day of our lives. 10/10 would recommend!!

ook a lot of pressure off our shoulders. Cynthia was a calm and reassuring presence on our wedding day, helping us to relax and enjoy the day. She was incredibly efficient with our time throughout the day, moving us right along throughout each set of pictures according to the schedule we had discussed prior. Not only did Cynthia take incredible pictures that we will cherish forever, she got the entire gallery to us within a week of our wedding day! If you want great photographs taken by a wonderful photographer and person, hire Cynthia Boyle Photography!

as I knew she would capture everything I wanted. Her turn around time was also a HUGE plus as I had my entire gallery within about 3 days! I will recommend her to everyone I know and will certainly use her for all my future photo needs. She is the best! :)

ly considers every detail to ensure you will have the most perfect day. Her ability to make the most bland areas so vibrate and beautiful is a skill that is unmatched. She captures every detail so that it truly tells a story. I couldn't believe it when I opened my email to find a gallery with dozens of photos just TWO days after my wedding. When my dad unexpectedly became hospitalized the week after my wedding, I asked Cynthia if she could send me a photo from the first look with my parents, even unedited, I just wanted it for his room. Within a few hours she sent all the photos from that first look, edited and ready for print. It meant more to me than she could have ever known. We had a completed album within eleven days. I was in total shock. The photos are breath taking. They are so bright and timeless. My husband and I are pretty awkward when having photos taken, but when we look at our photos we don't see awkwardness. We see a couple who is completely in love with each other in awe of the fact they get to spend their lives together captured on the happiest day of their lives. It is thanks to Cynthia being so laid back, so confident, so reassuring, so professional and so kind. We truly cannot recommend Cynthia enough. She was an asset to our wedding day. We will cherish the photos she captured and her friendship forever.
