About

I specialize in photojournalistic Wedding Photography, and Family Lifestyle Portraiture. I have a storytelling approach, so your photos will convey the mood and emotions of the unique moments that make up your day.

A wedding photographer only has a split second to capture the essence of a fleeting moment, the glimmer of a look, a laugh, or a tear shed. An effective photographer must have the skill, experience, passion and eye to rise to that demand.

Rest assured you can depend on me to capture the spirit of your day, and relay your stories powerfully and elegantly.

I work in the Boston area, and all over New England, including Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. Contact me to reserve your wedding date or to make an appointment to meet with me personally.

Reviews of Cynthia Abbott Photography

Cynthia is so professional and sweet. I would recommend her to anyone. She did my wedding back in April and she was prompt and I never felt that she was in anyone's way getting ready and she was beyond helpful. She even fixed my dress on the hanger and made it look beautiful and brought my grooms boutonnieres to the church for me! Her pictures came out gorgeous and in fact I am still deciding which ones to order because I love them all. She had my pictures back to me within a month's time which was amazing. I have been in weddings where the photographer has actually ruined the cocktail hour and made people feel uncomfortable, but not Cynthia! In fact, friends and family are still talking about how impressed they were by her!!!!

We selected Cynthia because the quality of her pictures was overwhelming. She covered our September 2014 wedding in Newport. She was a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding and even more so the day of.

Cynthia was absolutely wonderful to work with on our wedding day! She was the perfect person for us, as she blended in with everyone and we didn't even know she was there! Cynthia was not at all intrusive with her camera and that is exactly what we wanted for our day! I chose her after viewing her website and photos and just fell in love with the presentation of her photos. We met and knew right away that she was the one for us! Cynthia is a fantastic photographer with a wonderful personality that makes everyone feel at ease at all times!

Cynthia was wonderful to deal with! Her quiet, professional manner made everyone feel at ease. My daughter loved how easy she was to work with. All our requests for photographs of different friends and relatives were taken care of. I remember thinking to myself as we went through the hundreds of pictures that she had taken, that she quietly moved around all evening capturing all the moments that we will want to look at over and over, and I never even realized she was there! I've been to many weddings where the photographer was in your face - Cynthia was not. Her pictures are everything my husband and I, my daughter and son could have hoped for and more - she captured every moment of their wedding - their friends, our friends, family, pictures in color and black and white. So many pictures, so many choices!! I look forward to using her again. I would recommend Cynthia without reservation.

Cynthia was absolutely amazing. She was so easy going and really knew what she was doing. All of our pictures came out amazing. We could not have been more happy with her quality of work.

Cynthia was amazing. Not only were her photos great, but she was great. On a day that was filled with craziness, Cynthia had a calming presence which helped me through the day. She even helped me into my wedding dress! Cynthia made sure she was in on all the action which resulted in pictures that documented both the formal part of the wedding as well as the excitement of dancing all night long. I would recommend her to anyone!

I would absolutely recommend Cynthia Abbott Photography. Cynthia photographed our wedding last fall, and her work is beautiful, natural, and fun. We met Cynthia for our engagement session, which was great, because we were able to get comfortable with her before our wedding day, and having our pictures taken (something my husband hates!) She was able to get us to relax, which resulted in much more natural pictures than I have every had before. On the day of our wedding, Cynthia was so organized and professional. She seemed to have everything covered, and was so calm about last minute adjustments that I knew we were going to capture the wedding just like I wanted. She caught all the big moments, but, more than that, was able to catch the little details I didn't even realize were happening, and wouldn't have thought to ask for. The day flew by so fast, I am so thankful that Cynthia was there to capture it all as beautifully as it actually was. She caught moments I missed myself, like my flower girl getting her hair fixed by my mother-in-law, and my father-in-law showing my ring bearer how to hold the ring pillow. I couldn't be more grateful for her wonderful work.

My husband and I used Cynthia Abbott for our wedding last September and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision! Right from the start, she was both outgoing and professional. We contacted her through email as we heard about her through a family friend, and she responded to us within 24 hours. We spoke over the phone and she went through every detail with us (from all of her pricing options, to her style, to suggestions specific to our wedding). This was even before we had signed on with her! She wanted to get to know us as best as she could to make sure we would all be a good fit. Right away I knew she was the one for our wedding.

Cynthia suggested we meet a few months before the wedding for an engagement photo session (included in the package we bought). She said it was a great way to get to know her and to get used to and be comfortable in front of the camera. It went great! Not only was Cynthia laid back but she had great suggestions on different pictures and had us laughing and having fun at the end (which of course turned out to be the best pictures!) Within a few weeks we had a link to all of the pictures and were able to use one of them in our local paper for our wedding announcement.

The day of the wedding itself was perfect and couldn’t have gone more smoothly. To be honest I didn’t realize Cynthia was even there! She was able to get the perfect combination of pictures from before the wedding, to during the ceremony, to the reception. She was so flexible and easy to work with and got along with everyone (our parents loved her!) She ended up taking over 800 pictures which I couldn’t believe. When she sent the link to us after she did all of the editing it was like I was able to relive our perfect day all over again. I would 100% recommend Cynthia as a photographer for your wedding. She not only has a wonderful talent but she is also a great person to know and work with.

Cynthia was just terrific. She is such a sunny person to have at a wedding. Her photos, all 800 of them, were great. Everything was on time and perfect.

Had a fun productive engagement photo shoot. She took amazing pictures of us and we are not photogenic people! Loved the pictures!
