If you are wondering if you need Cynthia a part of your wedding team as your photographer, read this. My fiancé and I paid for our wedding, so we were very intentional about where and how much money we allocated to each vendor. Hiring Cynthia was the best decision we made in choosing our vendors. This review would be too long for anyone to read if I listed all of the amazing ways she served us well throughout the planning process and wedding day. Cynthia is incredibly smart, professional, organized, and resourceful. I can not give enough praise to the level of skill she brings to wedding photography. Cynthia and Kenny beautifully captured our wedding day in a way I didn’t know was possible. The day goes by fast, and I feel like we missed so much because it happened so fast. I can’t tell you how grateful my fiancé and I are to have Cynthia’s photos to cherish and reminisce with. Not only are they stunning pieces of art, but I feel like they are moments of pure joy and celebration captured for us to revisit and cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are wondering if you should choose Cynthia, do yourself a favor and hire her. You will enjoy the benefits of that decision the rest of your life.

Have I mentioned she is just a delight to have around?! You know this if you have already talked to her, but I looked forward to all our planning calls and meetings, and, from the moment we met to our wedding day, she truly became a friend that I trust completely and I believe she deeply cares for John and I. She did everything possible to make our wedding day absolutely perfect, and she succeeded.

I just finished scrolling through our photos. There are so many great pictures, Cynthia did an incredible job! THANK YOU :)​ They are everything I hoped for and more. She was wonderful to work with I would recommend her to anyone. We even plan on making a trip back up north when it's time for maternity photos in the coming years.

We had a destination wedding which can add some stress, but Cynthia made the day so much easier!

Cynthia was great to work with. her communication throughout the entire process was phenomenal. We are a same sex couple and she made us feel completely comfortable. She did our engagement photos and our wedding. Our pictures were perfect, and would completely recommend her to anyone needing a photographer.
Our guests thought she was great as well, even to this day I still get compliments from them about her. She is friendly, genuine, and her personality and smile are contagious!
