Amazing, 10/10

Celeste did a phenomenal job and was super communicative and reliable throughout my proposal planning. She knew the area well on UVA grounds, hid perfectly, and got the best reaction shots. She was affordable and enjoyable to work with. We took photos for an hour, and I was shocked when she said she'd have them ready for us that night- turnaround was insane, and the quality of her work was 10/10. I'd highly recommend hiring Celeste. So great to work with!

calm, responsive, and outstanding end product!

We had to postpone our big Midwest wedding indefinitely and opted for an intimate (immediate family only) ceremony in VA. I still wanted photos of our wedding day and hoped to find someone who would do a decent job in a short amount of time. I found Celeste online and loved her photos. She agreed to zoom with me and within minutes I knew she was the presence i wanted/needed at my wedding (that i was pulling off in less than 4 weeks). Now, having experienced her and her work I know I was SO lucky that she was able to accommodate our wedding!
From the moment she walked in the door it felt like having another family member there, one who was incredibly calm, flexible, and clearly highly skilled. My whole family loved her. When we got the photos back I was in awe. She captured SO much. I have no idea how she got so many angles. I love how she captured such sweet emotions from me, my husband and every member of our family! I'd recommend Celeste again and again. She has such a calm presence, is adaptable to any situation, has an eye for incredible shots and the skill to capture them, and is truly just a joy to work with!

Best choice we made the whole wedding

If you're looking for someone to take AH-MAZING photos for your wedding, look no farther! Celeste did an incredible job both with our wedding photos as well as our engagement photos. She's such a sweet, pleasant woman and she put us at ease which enabled her to capture raw, emotional moments that we'll treasure forever. My family also really appreciated her promptness and direction with our group portraits after the ceremony. No one person (besides us) had to stick around for photos for more than 15 minutes. 10/10!!

She was great!

The morning of my wedding we had a few last minute disasters, Celeste worked around the craziness that was going on. I’m very greatful that she went with the flow and made my day easier!
Also, her pictures are beyond beautiful, I was very picky with this aspect of my big day and she did not disappoint. I will cherish these photos forever.

Dream Photographer!

Celeste is nothing short of amazing! She did an incredible job with both the engagement and wedding photos, and we are so grateful to have so many gems from our special day. Celeste was extremely flexible and so gracious and kind when I (bride) had a complete meltdown days before the wedding. Throughout the entire process she made us feel comfortable and celebrated. She is superwoman. You can't go wrong with Celestial Sights Photography! Will definitely be recommending her to others and will request her again for future occasions!

Fantastic photographer for any occassion

Not only did Celeste photograph our wedding, she also did our engagement pictures which were both amazing! She really takes the time to understand your vision while giving valuable input to ensure your photos are amazing for your big day. She's also very organized making sure she gets all your desired shots. Our wedding day timeline got a little behind due to all the craziness, and she was able to adapt and still get all the shots we wanted. Would definitely recommend you use Celeste if you want quality photos for your wedding (or any occassion) as well as a nice, professional photographer!

One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was hiring Celeste. From the moment we sat down on her back porch to chat about this whole process, I knew she was the one. She is hilarious, kind, and so quick with her work. I was shocked at how many photos we got back from her, but also grateful that she had culled them down to a manageable amount. There were so many different locations and angles, and yet I didn't feel like I was spending the whole day taking photos. I will cherish these forever, but I will also cherish the memories we made taking the pictures - we had such a blast working with Celeste and I'm so glad she stands out as a wonderful part of our day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
