    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!!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Rebekah, this totally makes my day! I LOVED getting to be there for your wedding day, and I have to confess to tearing up several times. You guys are wonderful together! Many blessings!

    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!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Abby, thank you so much for your sweet words! I cannot tell you how pleasurable it was for me to be with you on your wedding day! Bless you!

    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.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Thanks Ashlee! I was so honored to be part of your wedding day. Your wedding was beautiful! Blessings to you all!

    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!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Erica! This makes my day! I am so thrilled that you are happy with your photos, and I was so glad to get to celebrate your wedding day with you! Many blessings and can't wait to see you again soon!

    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!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Taylor! I cannot tell you how happy I was to shoot your wedding :) I'm so glad that we were able to get what you wanted. Thank you for such a sweet review!

    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.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Abbie, I couldn't have enjoyed working with you and Len more! You two are an amazing couple - full of energy, love, and good humor. Thanks for letting me share in your special day!

    Celeste was amazing. She capture all the amazing memories that made our wedding perfect. She was so much fun to work with and she was able to capture our personalities in our engagement and wedding photos. I can’t to work with her again. Pregnancy and family photos we know who to call.

    I'm so grateful that I found Celestial Sights Photography, not only was Celeste super fun to do a photoshoot with, she made us feel comfortable and her pictures turned out amazing. She caught all the silly, fun moments of my wedding but also the sentimental and intimate moments as well. She gave us way more pictures then I was expecting and they all were beautiful, thought out and the quality was perfect. I highly recommend her and her team.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Awww! Thanks, Kylie! I was utterly charmed by you :) I'm so glad I got to photograph your day!

    Celeste was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out wonderful! She was flexible with scheduling our engagement session rather quickly since we had only hired her two and half months prior to our wedding. For our wedding day I was worried about the lack of daylight we would have due to it being in November and having a 30 minute drive in between the church and the venue, but she took control, was organized, and made sure we got all of our shots at both the church and the venue before we ran out of daylight. I didn't have to worry about a thing. She was very responsive throughout the process and a quick turnaround for receiving our photos. We loved working with Celeste, and to top it all off her photos are phenomenal! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Celeste was amazing from top to bottom. I first contacted her about an engagement shoot, warning her that we wanted to be adventurous and had some fun locations in mind. She was totally down with that! So, of course, we did the same for the wedding itself! She braved ladders, broken down buildings, river crossings, and tunnels for us to get the perfect pictures. During the wedding itself, she and her assistant captured all the moments I requested and kept the portraits moving along. The photos turned out gorgeous and I couldn't be happier!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Hurray! I am SO glad y'all love your photos! I had such an incredible time with you all!

    Working with Celeste was such a delight! We first met her for our engagement photo session, and she did such a wonderful job putting us at ease and also directing us (we were pretty darn clueless!). Our engagement photos were beautiful and had us looking forward to the wedding photos she would also be taking for us!! Celeste was very organized throughout the process, and made sure that we thought through what we wanted on our wedding day by asking us a series of questions in the form of a short worksheet. This was super helpful and made us sit down to think through all the group photos we would need to get that day. On our wedding day, Celeste and her helpers were efficient and organized, taking so many INCREDIBLE photos! She captured the day so well, and my husband and I tear up when we look through them. She caught so many lovely moments and all of our emotions on the day. Celeste was also very timely about getting photos back to us (for both engagement and wedding photos) and made that process very easy. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Celeste!!!

    Allison, working with you two didn't feel like work at ALL! You are perfect for each other, and I'm so grateful that we got to share in your special day :)

    Celeste and her team were professional and so efficient on the day-of, which is what you need when you have so many other things on your plate. She is friendly, but authoritative so everyone knows where to be and when for pictures. They stay organized and on-schedule and make sure to get any shots that you want! We couldn't have asked for more from a photographer.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Such kind words! We had such a great time participating in your wedding! Thanks for letting us be part of your day!
