Bayou Rose Photography

Words are not enough to express what a true joy it has been to work with Cyd over the past few years. I first reached out to her in 2016 to schedule an engagement shoot for my fiancé, Christopher, and I. Due to Christopher's demanding work schedule and other unforeseen events, we were unable to finalize a date until the past summer. Cyd was nothing short of patient and extremely accommodating during this lapse in time. We finalized a date and Cyd met us at sunrise to capture the best lighting at the venue we chose in Louisiana. Within just a few moments of working with her, Christopher expressed how laid back she was to work with and fun to be around. This says a lot coming from him and Cyd truly had us grinning from ear to ear the entire session. We decided to ask if she'd be willing to travel to our destination wedding in Texas and of course, she said yes. *Thank the Lord!* Fast forward to the day of our wedding - Cyd arrived to take shots of my bridesmaids and I getting ready. They quickly expressed their thrill of working with her as well. She is SO MUCH FUN to be around and did an exceptional job of getting everyone where they needed to be, and when, to ensure our list of desired photos were taken care of. Later into the evening, she handed me a few polaroid shots of photos she had taken and I thought this was so sweet and thoughtful. She had a blog post of photos available to us online within two days after the event. Just looking through these photos alone - our family and friends, and Christopher and I, completely cried and laughed all over again. Happy tears, of course! I feel like it is easy for anyone to pick up a camera and snap photos, but Cyd goes above and beyond to capture every emotion and moment, big or small. There was not one detail that was missed from our wedding day. We will cherish and look back on our collection of photos forever. Simply put, if you're not booking Bayou Rose Photography to capture your event, you are doing it all wrong.

For your own good, use Bayou Rose Photography. I cannot type into words how awesome Cyd is. Picking a photographer for our wedding was a huge deal, and we hit the jackpot. Cyd has become a friend for life. Looking through our pictures, it feels like we are back on our wedding day. Cyd is detailed, timely, and so easy to work with. I have told all our friends about her. I don't care if we are taking pictures to send to our land lord about what is wrong with the apartment, we are using Cyd. Lol.

Thanks for making our day great!

If you aren’t using Bayou Rose Photography you’re going to be disappointed with your photos. We used Cyd for our wedding and she was the 2nd best decision of our day (runner up to my groom haha). As someone who doesn’t typically like photos of myself… I cannot believe I LOVED every single one she captured for us. Our toddler was my husbands best man and as you can imagine not easy to photograph but Cyd was up for the challenge and knocked it out the park! I cannot say enough about Cyd and not only how truly talented she is but also professional and fun to work with! Thank you Cyd for capturing our day so beautifully!

Used bayou rose for our wedding vow renewal ceremony. It was amazing! So easy to work with. The pics are incredible and she did an amazing job of capturing every detail of our ceremony. In 2 hours with her I think I got more images and higher quality photos than at our actual wedding 10 years ago! Highly recommend and will definitely be booking bayou rose for family photos during our next trip to NoLA

Cyd is amazing!! Great communication and professional business! She is talented, creative, personable, fun!! She has so much helpful info on her website also!!! Highly recommend!! She captured all the sweet moments as well as the funny moments at my wedding and I never even noticed her bouncing all around getting these shots!! She’s also a master with lighting!! Love love love how our wedding was captured through her eye!! Book her!! You won’t regret it!!!

Words do not express my gratitude for Cyd and all the amazing work she put into making our wedding a memorable event! From the moment we met her we knew we were in great hands and that our photos would be amazing! Cyd shot our family pictures in April, my bridal pictures and our hurricane wedding. With a cat 4 storm heading straight for us in New Orleans, we had to move our wedding from 7pm to noon and Cyd was there with only 12 hours notice. She captured our day perfectly. Thank you Bayou Rose Photography!!!❤️❤️❤️

Cyd is an absolute dream! She is incredibly studied in her craft so she and her team produce beautiful photos that are easy to access, download, and purchase after the wedding. On top of that, she is a stellar person who was so fun to have as part of our wedding ceremony and reception. She is organized and thorough, which takes pressure off of the couple and their loved ones. Cyd is also very communicative and her response time to my emails and questions (and I sent a lot of those haha) was always swift. She captured the sentimental moments as well as the goofy moments throughout our ceremony and reception. I cannot over emphasize how fantastic Cyd and her team are! Unicorn level fantastic!

Cyd captured my wedding better than I could have ever hoped for! She is amazing!

Booking Bayou Rose was truly the best choice for us! We wanted a wedding that gave out out of towners a New Orleans experience and Cyd was there to capture every moment! Her and her team were so fun and interactive and made everyone felt comfortable enough to let lose and give us those picture worthy moments!!

Cyd was nothing short of amazing!!! She did everything I asked of her, she even suggested creating a spreadsheet of any kind of picture we would want and she had it with her on our wedding day & made them happen. The pictures were done in less than a month for me to look at and the quality of them were AMAZING!!! I’d 110% recommend her! She’s reasonably priced and anytime I messaged her she was back with me same day!!! I showed her ideas of photos I had & she did it and MORE. I’ve even started using her for our family photos!! She’s my forever photographer— I like to call her a photo ninja 🥰

Cyd is absolutely amazing! She made it soooooo easy and fun! I felt so comfortable. And I know that's exactly what every bride and groom want on their special day. We had so much fun together. I just received my gallery, and let me tell you, I was smiling ear to ear looking at our photos. They are beautiful! I am beyond thankful that I found Bayou Rose Photography and will be using it for any future events!!!!!!!!!!!

Cyd and her team at Bayou Rose Photography are a superb and easy-going team to work with for any occasion. I originally met her the night my husband proposed, as she was available last minute and for an excellent price. She had our “I said Yes” photos available to us within one week. The same goes for our engagement pictures and my bridals. She had ALL of our wedding photos available to us within 2 weeks of the wedding (which was this past March 2018). She is so talented at what she does and really works around your schedule. I got married at the Old Governor’s Mansion (OGM), which required that I separately attain all vendors our wedding. Some vendors that I used were larger companies that had worked/hosted a function at OGM often or previously. Other vendors I chose were smaller companies but had still worked/performed a function at OGM previously (and so were aware of the rules/regulations of the venue). Even if Cyd had not previously photographed at OGM, she would have been so easy to work with and it would not have caused any issues. Her pricing is right on point and you receive such amazing results in a very quick timeframe. There is no way I will ever use another photographer in this area. The pricing that these larger companies charge is so outrageous and inflated. Cyd and her team are devoted to you and create striking photos that just make you very appreciative you chose her to capture your event!! Love love love me some Cyd and Bayou Rose Photography!

Cyd photographed our engagements, my bridals, and our wedding, all of which came out phenomenal!! She made everything a breeze from beginning to end and really captured everything perfectly. She really listened to what we wanted and gave great suggestions. We will definitely use her for everything in the future and I would highly recommend her for any of your photo needs!!!

Above and Beyond our expectations! We highly recommend Cyd! All of our sessions were fun yet professional. Our pictures came out amazing. We cant say enough good things about our experience with her. She did our engagement, bridals, and wedding. Looking forward to family session soon! Cyd and her crew are top notch in our book.

Cyd is the perfect balance of professionalism and a personal touch. Cyd shot our engagement and wedding photos and both surpassed any expectations we could have had. Every part of her photographs matter. She captures important and beautiful details in all areas of her photos. My wife and I felt so comfortable working with her and she makes everyone look natural. My wife was full with tears of joy as she looked through the wedding photos. We will always recommend Cyd to everyone to photograph the special moments in their lives. Thank you Cyd! You are AMAZING!
