The Best Decision we Made for our Wedding

I absolutely recommend Cynthia Chung!!

Not only is she an incredible photographer, she was professional and communicative throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding.

On the day, she made me feel so comfortable and confident, captured sweet authentic moments, and overall took wonderful care of us. Also, she’s plain cool.

Best photographer ever!

Cynthia is an amaaaaaazing photographer!! She took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn't be happier with her work. She is such a warm, friendly person and she made absolutely everyone feel comfortable at our wedding. On the day of the wedding, she and her second photographer Yuri worked so seamlessly with the rest of the team to help us stay on schedule while documenting our day from all angles and making us look good. (: We LOVE the GIFs that she does too. It was absolutely wonderful working with her!

Fun, Professional, and Wonderful

We did our engagement photos with Cynthia in the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens. Cynthia was extremely communicative and very friendly when we first met her. She helped us relax a lot when we expressed nervousness with posing and feeling awkward. She captured a nice combination of walking/in-motion and standing still photos as well as both far away (to capture the scenery) and close up (like a picture of our hands) photos. The GIFs were hilarious. Would recommend working with her!

Authentically Artistic Photographer✨

If you're looking for wedding photographs that truly capture beautiful, authentic moments rather than staged, posed shots, Cynthia is the photographer for you. As an art director, I had a very specific vision for an artistic, photojournalistic style, and finding the right photographer was my top priority — second only to the dress. I spent months looking through portfolio sites, each one looking indiscernibly similar to the next, but I instantly knew Cynthia was special upon just arriving on her page. After browsing a few of the blog posts I knew Cynthia was the one when it actually made me cry. She has the ability to capture the essence of the people she photographs.

We booked the engagement and wedding package, which was a bit more than we originally planned to spend, but I had absolute confidence it would be worth every penny — which it absolutely was.

We had our engagement shoot in March which was difficult to plan outdoors because of the rainy weather. After rainchecking a few times, we asked Cynthia if she would mind shooting indoors at the Color Factory and she was super accommodating and excited about the idea. The shots came out incredibly as you can see!

On the wedding day, Cynthia brought along a second shooter and they were an all star team. They captured every single moment I could have ever wanted. We have shots from both the wedding and engagement all over our home and they bring us such joy every single day. I would absolutely recommend Cynthia to anyone. She is super talented, wonderful to work with, and a lovely person all around!

Perfectly Captured City Hall Elopement – Beyond Our Expectations!

Here’s an updated version with the addition about the black-and-white photos:

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our NYC City Hall elopement! From the moment she arrived, she was like a total ninja, managing to slip inside City Hall even though we were already at max capacity for guests. We were a little worried about getting all the right shots, but she somehow captured every single moment so naturally and beautifully.

The candid shots are absolutely stunning – they feel so real and capture the true joy and love my husband and I felt that day. Her direction and choice of locations around the city were spot-on, and she knew exactly how to frame each scene perfectly to bring out the best in us. We look amazing in every shot!

One of the best parts? She was able to redo some of our favorite pictures in black and white at our request, and they turned out incredible. The contrast, the mood, and the timeless feel of those black-and-white images are just breathtaking and really capture the essence of our day.

And we absolutely LOVE the GIFs – they’re one of the best parts of the whole album. She captured those little in-between moments that are just so “us,” and they add so much life to our memories. Looking through the photos, we were blown away by how wonderfully she documented each precious moment between us. She truly has a gift for telling a love story through her lens.

Thank you for making our day unforgettable. We’re forever grateful!

The Best Photographer in NYC

One of the best photographers out there!!! Cynthia is so easy to work with and the quality of her work is top-notch. I first met Cynthia few years ago when she was shooting for my friend's wedding and she is just so friendly and her pictures came out so beautiful. I just knew that I had to bring her on as my photographer for my wedding. She makes you feel so at ease and will work in whatever situation we are in. My family was being so crazy and nuts and she had such a calm collected head on her shoulder. I had the 10hr package which included either a book or a 2hr photo session which is what we picked. My husband and I do not have a lot of nice photographed pictures so this was a nice treat yourself moment. If you pick Cynthia to shoot for your wedding or other life event - trust me you won't regret it. If there's ever another moment for me to hire her again I certainly will. TRUST!

Glowing review for Cynthia

We cannot recommend Cynthia highly enough!! My husband and I were a bit nervous to be in front of the camera so much but Cynthia made us both feel at so at ease. She was a joy to work with and our wedding photos turned out beautifully. It's clear that Cynthia really enjoys what she does and she takes great care in capturing all the special moments of the day.

A rave review

Cynthia shot my elopement and it couldn't have been more perfect. She was punctual and incredibly professional. It was a cold winter day in December and having a photographer give you exact directions on how to pose and then getting her shots in a few quick snaps shows the breadth of her experience. My husband and I absolutely loved our photos and her editing. Give her some details on what you're looking for and let her work her magic!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
