Absolutely Amazing

Cecilie and her team are just absolutely incredible and so talented. She really gets to know you and the things that are important to you and just makes you feel completely at ease. She and her team are true professionals and really capture every single thing. Cecilie did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and we will continue to use her for any events in the future. She is one of a kind and her photos speak for themselves! Highly recommend!

We love Cecilie. She will be out photographer for future events, as well as any personal family photographs we would like to take! She’s absolutely worth it all!

Made Our Day!

Cecilie was fantastic to work with! From the beginning we clicked right away. She is very professional and gives great suggestions while also making sure to get all the photos you want. In these very uncertain times we knew that no matter what she would be there to capture our day and when the day came she went above and beyond to help make things run smoothly and adapt as needed. She simply gets things done while also taking amazing photos. My family and bridal party also had great compliments for the way she handled everything. Thanks to her beautiful photos I can look back on the day and see all the bright spots. I highly recommend Cecilie.

Everything was perfect!

Wow! We couldn't have been more impressed with Cecilie! My daughter's entire wedding was captured beautifully. Cecilie was pleasant, accommodating, and fun to work with. She was professional throughout the entire ceremony and reception, with little interference with the guests. She was masked the entire time (COVID). But best of all, our photographs are nothing short of amazing!

Couldn't have been better!!

I can’t say enough about Cecile. She was amazing!! She made it such a fun experience and the pictures we have now are perfect. She captured every special moment I wanted. On my wedding day she continually checked in with me so I knew what photos we were doing when and always asked if there were more photos I wanted that we may have missed. Cecile really makes sure you have any possible photo you could want and nothing is missed. I can look back at each photo and remember what I was feeling in that moment. I will always be able to look at the beautiful pictures Cecile took and remember each moment during the best day of my life. Cecile was super accommodating and patient with the contracts and tons of emails. She even was patient with my wedding schedule which went through many revisions. She always kept me up to date on what was happening and what was needed. Even now after my wedding, she always lets me know when more photos are being uploaded so I know when to expect more online.
Another really important thing to me had to do with my boudoir shoot. I am a self-conscious person and overly confident person. When it was first suggested to me I didn’t think I would do it. I was beyond nervous the day of and kept worrying I would be awful at it. I even messaged Cecile my “outfit” and nail polish options for feedback, which was super awesome about and gave my gladly. Cecile calmed me immediately and make me feel super comfortable and confident! She encouraged me the whole time and gave me pointers and it ended up being really a really fun time. When I saw the finished product I was amazed how good it turned out. My husband loved it and I am so glad I did it so he has something to remember the wedding day. I really can’t stress how great Cecile is. If you want beautiful photos of your wedding and a photographer that is focused on capturing every special moment of your big day that is important to you, you need Cecile. She also really does become a friend :)

Phenomenal Photographer, We think of her as family!

Cecilie and her team are THE BEST. As a Wedding Videographer, I’m extremely particular on the style and approach a photographer brings to the day. You want someone who makes you comfortable, who captures the feel of the day, and who sees the vision from your eyes. You also want someone who doesn’t mind getting hands-on and ensuring you capture the perfect shot. Cecilie coached us through every step of the way in a manner that was fun and comforting. Every shot Cecilie took felt like it could have been pulled from a magazine! Her style and approach was so natural my wife and I felt completely at home as she guided us through the day. Cecilie was without a doubt the best person for us. Her energy, love for her work, and her ability to reign in our outrageous bridal party made her presence essential for our wedding. Cecilie and her team were so incredible I could not picture any other photographer being so intimately involved… not to mention at the end of the day my mother in law wanted to adopt her!

If you’re on the search for a photographer who is a ridiculous amount of fun, beyond talented, and extremely polished Cecilie is the perfect fit. I’d gladly encourage any newly engaged couple to get on her list AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE because she is without a doubt the best there is.

Talented, Professional & Fun

My husband and I did an engagement session with Cecilie and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From my first inquiry about her services, she was responsive and professional. She brought my creative vision for the shoot to life and made my husband and I feel very comfortable throughout the shoot. She turned around photos quickly and I was so happy with her work. I highly recommend her services and I am a very particular (picky) person!

Our new family milestone photographer

Cece is such as joy to work with! She is responsive, professional, reliable, and pays great attention to detail. Cece is well prepared by meeting with her clients to understand their needs. She also conducts site visits prior to the event in order to determine the best lighting (and all of those other photographer tricks) to capture the essence of what we want to convey in our photos. Our engagement session helped Cece to understand some of our perceived insecurities and how we interact with each other and the camera. For example, I have insecurities with my arms and doing the wedding photos, she made sure to position me a certain way to minimize those areas.

Cece discovered she had a broken foot prior to our wedding. She assured me that this would not prevent her from photographing our wedding and would hire additional assistance (at no charge to us). What's funny (not her broken foot) is that I wasn't remotely worried. Upon meeting Cece, she has been reliable, honest, and transparent.

Her ability to create beautiful photos to capture a very special day is truly remarkable. Plus she's fun to work with.

We definitely plan on using Cece again as we reach milestones throughout our new life as husband and wife - hopefully a pregnancy photoshoot next....

Simply the Best!

We hired Cecilie for our wedding this past July. From start to finish she was professional, organized, thorough and easy to work with. We talked several times before the wedding to establish what we wanted and her suggestions so there would be no disappointments or confusion. She captured outstanding posed and candid shots of everyone from first arrivals, pre-service, during the service, through after dinner dancing! She picked great locations around the venue as backdrops for the after service family shots and just us 2. All in all I don’t think anyone could have done a better job capturing the joy and fun of the day. We received the photos very soon after the event and were ecstatic with the results. We would definitely hire her for future photos and highly recommend her to anyone. Simply the best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
