About

Photos that look as good as the moment felt ✨

Weddings make me emotional in the best way! Every single time two people promise to build a life together, I still find myself tearing up behind the camera.

I believe the promise you make on your wedding day deserves to be documented with care, intention, and a deep respect for your story. The images we create together will become the first heirlooms of your new family, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly.

My approach is documentary and people-focused. I’m always watching for the moments that matter most: the nervous energy while you’re getting ready, the look on your partner’s face when they see you for the first time, the long hugs with family, and the dance floor chaos later in the night.

I also know that getting to that moment takes a lot of planning. From helping you build a timeline to guiding you through portraits, I’m here to make sure you feel confident, relaxed, and fully present when the day actually arrives.

If I’m already booked or outside your budget, I have an incredible team of associate photographers trained by me, same thoughtful experience, same signature editing style.

Your story deserves to be told well. I’d love to be the one to tell it.

Amazing photos

This was one of the best photo sessions I’ve had. She creates a comfortable, relaxed environment while still giving clear direction, which made it easy to show up confidently. If you’re looking for photos that feel elevated and reald, I highly recommend her work.

Amazing photographer!

We are so grateful we chose Celisia as our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, she was incredibly easy to work with—organized, responsive, and always on top of communication. She made the entire process feel stress-free, which is exactly what every couple needs during wedding planning.

To stay within our budget, we decided to go with one of her associate photographers, and we weren’t quite sure what to expect at first. But the experience could not have been smoother. Our associate photographer, Kyra, was absolutely amazing. During both our engagement shoot and our wedding day, she was constantly hyping us up, making us feel comfortable, confident, and like our best selves. Her energy was relaxed, fun, and genuine, and by the end of everything, she truly felt like a friend.

Both Celisia and Kyra exceeded our expectations, and we’re so thankful for the beautiful memories they captured. We couldn’t recommend them more!

We highly recommend Celisia Stanton Photography!

We’re so happy we booked with Celisia for our wedding!
Details: We worked with Celisia Stanton Photography for our wedding in September 2023. We spoke with Celisia and set up the plan, and then Colette (associate) was our photographer for the day. Celisia was super helpful and friendly. She built a schedule for the day, which we then used for ourselves and other vendors. She was also flexible with our needs, and informative. We had no idea where to start, and she made the process so easy.
Colette was absolutely wonderful. She made us (and everyone else) feel comfortable in front of the camera with her laid-back and bubbly demeanor, and rolled with the punches with ease. She told us exactly how to pose to get beautiful photos, but in such a way that we didn’t even really notice she was doing it. It felt very natural. She was also incredibly efficient, so photos took less time than we expected, giving us more precious time with family and friends. We received our photos (so many!) very quickly, and they are gorgeous and fun! We absolutely adore them, will treasure them for the rest of our lives, and would not change a thing.

Amazing To Work With

We booked 8 hours and worked with Colette as our lead associate and also added a second photographer. By talking with Celisia beforehand, we were able to plan out most of the day and pick the duration that was right for us. The schedule was realistic and we kept pretty much to it on the big day. Both photographers were punctual and extremely professional, not to mention the photos turned out great. The directions they gave us were easy to follow and they found some great spots at our venue despite never having been there before. We really enjoyed Celesia’s editing style and were impressed with the turnaround on the pictures. We got a sneak peek just three days after the wedding which let us post professional photos while still on our honeymoon. Overall we highly recommend booking through Celisia Stanton photography.

Cannot rate highly enough!

From the first phone call introducing ourselves through the planning process and through the end of our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. Celisia's made us feel comfortable right away, talking us through the creation of a wedding day timeline that ensured we could be present on our big day and know that the important moments would be captured. The two associates we had with us throughout the day, Colette and Marina, were kind, patient, attentive, and their personalities really put us at ease.

Three days after our wedding, we received a special treat in our email inbox - a sneak peak of our wedding photos to look through together, share with family, and re-live the day while we wait excitedly for the full album.

Celisia and her team are not only awesome people, but their photography delivers realness, emotion, and sentimentality. We are thrilled that we'll have them forever to help us remember the special moments that mark the start of our married life together!

Cannot recommend celisia enough

My partner and I hired Celisia and her associate, Colette (who we'll review, too), and both were absolute dreams to work with. Our photos were incredible, they're both unparalleled talents, and we cannot recommend them enough.

They made our day look stunning

Celisia and her team was awesome! We had two of her associates take our photos on our big day, but Celisia made sure we had the best ones based on our needs. She was very responsive with my questions and seemed very energetic. Our gallery of pictures were very well organized and she was good at explaining what else we needed to do in terms of ordering prints and our album. It is hard choosing a few good photos to show off their skills because they are all amazing and beautiful

Best. Photographer. Ever

Celisia is literally everything we could have asked for in a photographer. She is insanely talented, responsive, and a joy to work with. She did both our engagement and wedding photography and both her and her 2nd shooter Cerri captured our day perfectly.

Incredible Experience, Incredible Photos

Celisia was such a delight to work with! Celisia took our engagement photos, her associate Mariah took our micro-ceremony photos, and Celisia and her associate Jess took our larger reception photos. Celisia was flexible when we needed to change our wedding plans to have a micro-ceremony and a later, larger reception due to the pandemic which was much appreciated. Celisia has a knack of making you feel so comfortable right away. It was so fun taking photos with her and her associates. We loved how Celisia gave excellent direction to us and our wedding party on how to pose for the photos. Turnaround for the edited photos was quick and we were shocked at how many sneak peeks we received. The photos were gorgeous and so many people have asked us who our photographer was -- they're that good! We cannot recommend Celisia enough.

Simply Amazing

From the first phone call we had talking about our wedding, Celisia was amazing! We hit it off right away and I knew during our conversation that she would be our dream photographer. She is easy going, extremely prompt, and so talented!

When we met for our engagement photos, we were immediately at ease in front of the camera. She made it so much fun! When we received our engagement photos, I was in tears because she captured the two of us so well.

What can I say about our wedding pictures? Celisia is so organized! She had us fill out a questionnaire to describe details that were important to us, along with a photo shot list. It made wrangling family after the ceremony a complete breeze!

It's been a few weeks since we received our wedding pictures and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at them. They are absolutely gorgeous and I love how natural they are! Celisia captured every amazing moment of our most perfect day.

Because we loved working with her, we set up a session with us and our dogs. Minus one of the dogs barking the first 10 minutes, she captured so many beautiful moments.

I am beyond happy with everything she has done for us and highly recommend working with her. We truly hope she continues to capture our memories for a long time to come.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
