About

Artful, authentic, emotional. I no longer provide wedding 'event' photography services. However, I book 'portrait' sessions for intimate wedding ceremonies with a maximum coverage of two hours. I use my portrait guiding and posing skills to ensure my couples are captured in the most natural and flattering way. In addition, I edit and retouch all my images so that you can ensure you have photos that you can proudly display and treasure for years to come. Please contact me for details.

I also specialize in contemporary portraits, modern boudoir for brides who may wish to provide their partners with a special wedding gift as well as cross off a few things on their check list. Check out my blog below for details. https://celestinaando.com/2023/06/21/bridal-boudoir/

Picture Perfect

From the moment my fiance and I met Celestina, we knew we wanted her to capture our special moments for our big day! Celestina and Juan were very personable, professional, and paid particular attention to detail. We just got our wedding photos back and we are absolutely speechless! Everything came out better than we could have imagined. If you are looking to get photos taken, look no further than with Celestina! You will not be disappointed!!

Creative, attentive, respectful

Celestina was a pleasure to work with. She is the best of both worlds: a truly artistic photographer with utmost professionalism. She was prepared, quick on her feet, and produced timeless, romantic, joyful photographs. We had an outdoor fall wedding and the mercurial weather didn't faze her at all. She put everyone at ease on the day and was sensitive to the complicated dynamics of a large family get-together. Worth every penny.

Amazing photographer!

We got married a week ago and we had the most amazing experience with Celestina and Juan! From the start, Celestina was extremely professional and had tons of suggestions and ideas for our wedding. She went to our venue the week before the wedding around the same time as the ceremony would be taking place so she could see what the lighting was like and where she could capture the best shots...which we thought was amazing because we wanted our portraits to be as efficient as possible!! We haven't seen all of the pictures yet but she sent us a few as a sneak peak and we were BLOWN AWAY!! She is so talented and we are so happy we found her and Juan to capture our big day! We would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!!

We hired Celestina to photograph our Chinese wedding banquet and couldn't be happier with our choice. Unlike our western style wedding, the Chinese banquet was quite different and a lot more straight forward consisting of a tea ceremony and banquet dinner. Even though it was a much smaller coverage, she arranged a few calls with us just to make sure she understood exactly how the flow will be, what type of shots we wanted to make sure we get, and some of the things she needed to look out for.

She had excellent communication and was very professional and approachable throughout the whole process. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early to scope out the venue, taking a few test shots. We had a few mishaps during our ceremony - the mic wasn't working, we were missing some props, but she managed to maneuver with all these unexpected curveballs and still captured very beautiful photos!

During the entire wedding, she and her photography partner/husband, Juan were always shadowing my husband and I, capturing our moments with every guest. Some of our relatives didn't speak English and she was very patient, taking family photos which required a few retakes until she captured the perfect one. The photos were delivered very quickly via an USB drive per our package, and it came in a very cute case with our pictures on the cover!

Overall we're very happy with Celestina's professionalism and beautiful work, and would highly recommend her!

When I hired Celestina to photograph me I asked the she really capture my moments. I wanted to look at my photos and smile every single time I look at them its beenand every single time I go through and every single time I go through my album I'm laughing and smiling and reminiscing about that day. I love her work and look forward to working with her again. I have referred others who hired her and were equally happy.

Celestina Ando Photography is amazing. Celestina captured such special moments from our Wedding ceremony to our reception, and each photo was absolutely stunning. Celestina is personable, proffesional, has great prices, creative, sophisticated and works very hard to get the best shot. She knows exactly how to make each picture special. My husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing. She made us feel comfortable and we had a blast working with her. She has given us wonderful memories that will last a life time. It is very important to have an exceptional photographer and Celestina Ando Photography is IT! Her work is remarkable, flawless and we can't wait to work with her again. Both Celestina and my Wedding photos are phenomenal!

Words don't do Celestina justice. Not only was she extremely professional, kind, and knowledgable, but she is incredibly talented. The pictures are wonderful. She was a total pleasure to deal with and the process was so easy start to finish. Many of my friends used other vendors and had trouble with their arrangements. She had great suggestions that we would have never thought of. You will not be sorry if you use Celestina, and you will wind up with incredible photos to last a lifetime!!

Celestina is the most AMAZING photographer! Having hired her to do photograpy for both my engagement and wedding pictures, I truely believe there is no one better then her. If I could give her more then 5 stars in every catagory I would. My pictures came out beautiful. She absolutely went above and beyond all of my high expectations. Celestina has such a natural and artistic eye for photos, its an absolute talent! Everything from my wedding portraits to the more photojournalistic pictures came out so amazing, it was beyond anything I could have ever wished or hoped for. Because of Celestina I will always have beautiful wedding and engagement pictures to serve as memories for a lifetime!

Celestina is not only a truly gifted artist, but is also extremely passionate about her work. Our wedding photos are simply amazing to say the least! She was able to capture all the beauty of the setting, as well as the emotion in our faces during all of the most important moments of the day. For this, my new husband and I will be forever grateful. Her quality of service exceeds five stars by far!
