Nick Cinea Photography, LLC

new needs. For almost two years Nick was by our side on phone calls, touring our venue and even scoping out a first look location for us! He had us fill out a detailed questionnaire so that he could capture every moment we cared about. He brought that four page list of the schedule, the group photos, details etc. and carried it around with him throughout the event, making sure he got each shot! The photographs were stunning, well lit, correctly colored and made my fifty guest event look like a full and fabulous party! We are so grateful we hired Nick! Gorgeous photographs of everything we wanted! He was a huge factor in making our wedding a success and I 110% recommend him for couples who want perfect photos!

We couldn't be happier with our wedding photos and HIGHLY recommend him for any of your photography needs!

d really made our day so much more special! We could not love our wedding pictures anymore! If you are looking for a photographer who will capture your love, make you feel so comfortable and supported, you have to hire Nick. Nick, thank you for not only being the best photographer but, for becoming such a dear friend to us. Still swooning over our wedding photos!

and reliable. He sent email reminders, followed up and Facetime during Covid. He made it his priority to get to know us, listen and give suggestions. As someone who is very nervous taking pictures, Nick made sure I was comfortable and at ease during my entire Wedding. He was there every step of the way capturing all our special moments. What amazed us even more was that at the end of his time, Nick stayed longer to make sure he got additional photos of us! He did not delay in getting us our photos and his work speaks for itself, the photos are truly amazing! My husband and I are completely satisfied.

able and quick to respond to our needs throughout the process from our first phone call to plan out the day of the wedding, to the first look, the ceremony, the reception, and receiving our wedding photos. He was prompt and followed through with everything he promised. So happy to receive our wedding photos so quickly after our wedding and with a few early for our thank you cards. We appreciated the questions he asked so that we were prepared for the different family photos, and to accommodate any of our family needs and our needs. The photos came out beautifully! We had an afternoon wedding with bright overhead lighting and were worried the photos would come out too harsh. We ideally wanted softer lighting. In the end, even with the afternoon sun, Nick was able to achieve the softer look we wanted with the fall foliage of Elizabeth Park. Nick also was great with giving us directives as to how to stand and angle our faces and was both fun for us to work with. Both my husband and I are not the best w feeling comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. However, Nick was able to make this an enjoyable and fun shoot. We absolutely recommend Nick as our wedding photographer!

tures he took and couldn’t have picked a better photographer to share our day with.

g very thorough! He made sure he knew every piece of the day I wanted captured from the obvious big moments down to the smallest detail and he didn’t miss one thing! There were some specific things I wanted captured but I’m more of a let the expert take the lead kinda person and he did not disappoint! The morning of our wedding was a rainy gloomy mess which made us have to take most of pictures in the church instead of outside at a park. Even though it wasn’t what I expected the pictures are gorgeous. when it cleared up he stole us away to get some amazing sunset pictures! im so thankful he did the because they are some of my favorites!! I am so happy with the way the pictures came out, and everyone I have showed is so impressed with how amazing they look knowing how not amazing the weather was that morning! It was comforting to know that no matter what I was going to have beautiful pictures to look back on!

t spot for our engagement photos and he was always right there for a candid shot during our reception. Not only is Nick a phenomenal photographer, but he’s such a genuine person too. Our wedding date was changed 3 times due to Covid and we had to change the venue once as well. He was happy to change the date/location with us each time and always made sure to check in and see how we were holding up during the planning. I promise you won’t be disappointed by hiring Nick! We are so thankful for all the amazing photos he took for us!

ge, and then from there through covid and all of 2020’s messes, Nick was beyond supportive encouraging and professional and we are SO excited to see the rest of our photos! Work with Nick, you will never have a doubt in your mind he will capture your day beautifully!

re unsure if we wanted engagement pictures. We are so happy that we chose to get them done! It was a very fun experience and the pictures came out beautiful! We can’t thank Nick enough for our absolutely stunning wedding photos! He was able to get beautiful pictures of everyone at the wedding which was important to us. Nick and his co-worker both captured such precious moments that make us want to view our album again and again. Nick Cinea Photography will 100% be our choice for any events here on out!

ation with us, do his own research, and arrive early to scout out the best locations in the park to take photos. My wife and I, along with friends and family who we have shared our photos with, have been blown away by their high quality and the way in which he was able to capture true the authenticity of each moment. Nick’s talent was especially apparent in the fact that he could make photos of masked individuals looks so good and natural! Nick’s creative use of light with the surrounding scenery made for absolutely stunning shots. His timing was so impressive as he was able to capture our genuine emotions during our first look and all throughout the entire ceremony. Nick was an absolute pleasure to work with. His professionalism, pride in his work, and his friendly and outgoing demeanor, made it all such a exceptional experience. We recommended him 100%!

silly questions and concerns. Helped with suggestions on where to get out engagement pictures. When the weather affected our shoot and he wasn’t able to get the shots he wanted to deliver he offered to do another mini session (but this definitely isn’t standard, just wanted to callout his dedication to providing great work). His follow up was fantastic, as I admittedly dropped the ball on some timelines due to starting a new job with increased hours and everything else going on. Day of he showed up on time & his second shooter was also great and personable. He was able to get all of the shots we wanted and was patient with all my distractions like stopping by the dance floor while en route to get our nighttime shots. He also IS GREAT WITH DOGS! Our dog was a very important part of our day and involved with the engagement session and present the entire wedding. He got the most adorable shots of the three of us, and even a few of the beautiful girl alone. Though we were on a tight timeline because I went the traditional way with no first look, he got all the shots we wanted and DELIVERED on them. If it didn’t come out to his standards the first shot, he didn’t rush you to the next just to get it done he efficiently adjusted as needed. He was also fantastic with helping guide us on the things you don’t think about but make a huge difference - hand placement, head tilting, etc. And he put my husband and I at ease for all those kissing lovey doves photos- we aren’t super keen on PDA so it this was a bit uncomfortable for us but none of this translated in any of the shots because of how great Nick was to work with. And we got the photos back wicked quick, despite being prime wedding season (married 10/5/2019). Only regret I have is doing 8 hours not 10 & not getting a photo album through him. I’m still THRILLED with the photos- just wanted more from the end of night & to call it out for anyone else who may have been on the fence like I was (having never been married before you don’t really know what is ‘enough’ but trust me go with 10). This is NOT an area you want to cheap out on & Nick is worth every penny. Apologize for the length but it we thought it was important to note all the small details that make him stand out and often don’t make it to the reviews. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Tamara & Shaun Mitchell

He is positive, organize, professional, punctual, and is so easy going it feels as if he was apart the family. I have worked with Nick on other weddings as he did my own and so many more to come for my friends and family, I can say hands down he is someone I fully trust with all photography needs. He continues to stay consistent and his quality of work will take your breath away. If your looking for someone who will elevate your big day, look no more. He is a 10 out of 10. No amount of words could ever really put his magic behind the camera into perspective but I promise you, he will never disappoint.

ilies, and our bridal party feel at ease all day and kept us laughing and smiling the entire time. We're so lucky we found Nick, and we are grateful for his beautiful work!

k delivered on all fronts. He was flexible when we were scheduling our engagement session (which was tricky because we work opposite shifts) and delivered the photos in a timely manner. Throughout the planning process Nick kept in touch. He asked a lot of questions about our specific desires for the day, any special details we wanted immortalized, and made recommendations for the timeline. On our wedding day, he worked with our DJ and wedding coordinator to keep us on track without ever making us feel rushed. He knew all our details off the top of his head and didn't miss anything we had discussed. We had a shot list that included a lot of extended family, and Nick and his second shooter Jason did a great job of getting us through everything quickly so we could enjoy our cocktail hour and reception with our guests. Nick delivered us hundreds of amazing shots and I couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience.

aphy style which was exactly what I was looking for. From our first time working with him at our engagement shoot we were quick to tell him how uncomfortable my fiancé and I were in front of the camera. He had some great ways to get us to loosen up and have a ton of fun while producing amazing photos. The week of our wedding I filled out a questionnaire where I was able to add the timeline I created with my planner from the venue. He was so top notch on our wedding day that even our guests were complimenting him. He showed up early, dressed professionally and got to work right as I was ready. He followed the timeline that I had uploaded and we actually ran early on a few things which made the entire day a breeze. He captured so many beautiful memories and my husband and I will be forever grateful to him for allowing us to always have these photos.

so able to capture any and all special requests, both planned and unplanned, that occurred throughout the evening. All of our photos were made available to us on an online gallery, which has made it very easy to view and share our photos with friends and family. Nick showed that he is true professional time and time again. Our engagement shoot was the first time either of us had worked with a professional photographer and we were both admittedly nervous going into it. Thanks to Nick and his very pleasant and calm demeanor, we became comfortable very quickly. This certainly paid dividends on our wedding day. Nick prepared for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day with thorough questionnaires and with visits to the planned locations. There’s no doubt that this preparation saved the day when we had to change the location of our bridal party photos due to other activity in Hartford on our wedding day. Throughout both sessions, not only did he keep himself organized to ensure he got each and every shot, but he kept his subjects organized, which proved to be a tall order at times. Nick and his assistant seemed to be at the right place at the right time throughout our wedding day and their preparedness certainly showed in the final product. If we could do it all over again, we would gladly choose Nick over and over again.

sion for each and every one of his photos. Scheduling and coordinating with him was a breeze, and he did a phenomenal job of capturing the emotion of our special day. Overall, we cannot say enough about how thrilled we are with how our photos turned out. We will definitely be working with Nick again in the future. Trust us - selecting Nick will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding!

with how our photos turned out, and couldn’t recommend him more!

next day! Talk about a quick turnaround. Excellent communication via phone, email and questionnaires leading up to the big day. My husband and I were a bit indecisive if we wanted a first look and what photos taken when, and Nick was able to accommodate every last minute change. For the engagement shoot, we had the photos taken in Mystic since we were in the area for a wedding anyway. I could not believe how much homework he did, looking on google maps to find 10+ spots to take photos on a bridge, in alleys, next to cute shops, etc. It was freezing cold out, but he still got it done, and you can’t even tell how cold we were in the photos! Professional, reliable, and most important high quality service. Just got married 2 weeks ago and will update with some of our fav photos once we get them :) Give Nick a call - at the very least he is a very nice person to chat with
