Worth Every Penny

We couldn't have picked a better person for our wedding photographer & videographer. Celine is sunshine in the form of a human. Although the packages are pricey, they are 100% worth every penny. Ours included our engagement photos, wedding day photography, videography, drone footage, 1500+ edited images, and a 7 minute highlight video. On our actual wedding day she become the perfect mix of a security bouncer and my fairy god mother. My dress BROKE before the pictures and ceremony, and one of her second-shooters had a sewing kit and was able to sew me into it. My make-up artist forgot to use lip liner, and my dark maroon lip bled into my foundation right before the first look. Celine went to work and let me use her make-up in her car to fix it. She managed to coral 70+ people into a variety of assortments for the best family photos. She even ended her night with me on the dance floor. Grateful to have met such an incredibly talented person that I am lucky to now call a friend!

You definitely get what your pay for + some

Celine, Tanner, and Madison are a literal dream team. They are professional yet sweet and caring. Celine is not just a photographer/videographer but she is a new friend, hype beast, boss babe, hard worker, artist, and basically a wedding coordinator. She really took control and got everyone to do what they needed too and in a timely manner. And if anyone or anything was stressing me out, she handled it. We also had a ton of laughs together. She basically almost died for us numerous times because we took pictures in a rocky area in the mountains and she was walking backwards to capture the shot. We booked her for Photo and a short montage video. Within 2 days, we had like 73 sneak peaks!!! We were so obsessed with her work that we actually added on an additional video of just our ceremony footage. I cannot think of a better person to do your photo and video needs. I already told her that I’m going to go ahead and claim her for all of our family photos in the years to come. Leaving this review with one last thing, Celine captured some of the sweetest moments between my husband and our families and now those memories will live on forever through the wonderful photos and videos she made for us. She’s worth every penny, plus some.

Surprise wedding re-vows

Mrs. Celine amazed us with her ability to make us feel like friends who’ve been together for years. She made us feel so comfortable. When I was looking for a photographer for our family pictures I wasn’t real sure what to expect, we had only had family pictures once before in 17 years. But this time was even more special, I was going to repropose to my wife as a surprise. Celine helped me work out all the details without my wife finding out! I really don’t have the words with how much she helped. Her pictures matched and even exceeded her frienndliness though. They turned out amazing. If you’re looking for more than a photographer, but a friend, this is the woman to choose! All other photographers we use will be compared to her. You will not go wrong! Thank you Mrs. Celine!!!!!!

I wish I could gift her to every bride ❤️

Celine did our engagements and it was nothing short of magical. The location she found for us, the communication beforehand and the actual day of the shoot were all fabulous. She even made my camera-shy soon-to-be husband comfortable. We came back to her 2 years later to do our family photos and it was just as magical and, as always, the pics turned out so amazing! (as evidence with attached pics)

Celine is amazing!

I was lucky enough to have Celine do my engagements, bridals, and wedding day! Not only does she produce beautiful work, she gets it done so FAST! In addition to that she is easy to get ahold of, she’ll take you to the most beautiful locations, and she’s hilarious! Seriously book her if you get the chance...the girl knows her stuff.

She knows what she is doing!

My husband and I had Looking For The Light Photo & Video take our engagement and wedding photos. She knows what she is doing. I tend to be a little self conscious of how I look, but Celine did an excellent job at helping me find poses that make me feel confident and comfortable. The photos turned out beautiful and our wedding video is something I watch often. It is put together so well!

Memories forever and ever

Celine Reese's ability to capture the beauty of a special time in one's life is , indeed, extraordinary. She creates a magical essence of color and clarity in each and every photo. Celine did provide my husband and I with precious memories to view and share of our Golden Anniversary. How I so wish that we had a time machine to have this magnificent photographer at our wedding and we would have had precious and gorgeous photo memories of that special day five decades ago. Thank you ,Celine, for the photo treasure that you provide to us to have forever.

Delightful

We hired Celine to take our engagement photos. She was smiling and full of positive energy the whole session. She gave great direction while being relaxed and helping us feel comfortable and natural. We loved the final outcome!

Anniversary Pictures

Celine made me feel the most comfortable I’ve ever felt while being photographed. Her ability to capture the small moments is mind-blowing. She cares about giving you an experience rather than a product, which sets her apart in my opinion. You will be more than thrilled with your experience with Celine. Every time you reminisce over your session with her, it will bring you great joy.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
