    Cecily captured the day!

    We are thrilled with the wedding photos captured by Cecily and her assistant Conrad! They put everyone at ease so we could enjoy the entire day. Cecily is a seasoned professional who knows how to prepare the shot list in advance so you don't have to worry that you might miss a special photo that you want on the big day. She captured all the joy and special moments during the time of preparation, the ceremony, and the reception. We are so grateful for her beautiful work!

    Best Wedding Photographer We Could’ve Hoped For!!

    My husband and I could not be happier with Cecily Breeding as our wedding photographer! She is kind, personable, organized, professional, efficient, and great with people! She captured all the shots and moments that we wanted and especially the ones we expressed were most important to us! Cecily went above and beyond what we asked and were hoping for! She got our sneak peaks and all of our wedding photos to us quickly and every single one looked amazing! She truly has an talented artistic eye and was on top of all of the shots for our wedding day.

    Cecily Breeding Offers an Unparalleled Wedding Photography Experience

    If you are considering a photographer for your wedding or special occasion, there is no need to research further because nobody will capture your special memories like Cecily! Cecily is thorough, professional, and gifted at her craft. Her business model is unmatched - we had an entire sneak peek gallery the next day after our wedding so we could all relive some of the most special moments. Moreover, Cecily's photos are both modern and timeless. She is so good at making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera in order to really capture the heart of your event.
    Cecily traveled out of state for my wedding and spent the days leading up getting to know all of our family members. This made it even more meaningful to work with her. Our entire family is thrilled with our final product, and we cannot say enough good things about Cecily. We will have this gift of her photography to last us a lifetime.

    Justin & Chelsea’s Wedding Weekend

    Unquestionably! One of the most incredible Photographers I’ve ever had the pleasure use. She was able to document and capture from the beginning to the end the whole experience.

    * Style. “so natural “
    “ Lighting and colors. “beyond amazing “
    * She is the next Annie Leibovitz

    She was so creative and artistic with every single photo that was taken. I truly can’t say enough to express my gratitude for her talent.

    Easy to work with, super fast editing! I can’t think of anything she could have done better!

    Cecily is simply the best! She combines her gift of artistry with exquisite attention to detail! She is organized, personable and captured my son’s wedding day perfectly! We are thankful!

    10/10 Would Recommend!

    We can't say enough great things about Cecily. She was one of the first vendors we booked just over a year out from our October 2020 wedding date. I saw her work on instagram and just fell in love with what she's able to capture in a picture. Like most 2020 brides and grooms, we had a bit of a rollercoaster getting to our actual wedding - which ended up being an intimate backyard wedding at the last minute. When our venue location changed just 2 weeks before the wedding, Cecily was quick to respond and onboard with the new plan! She's responsive, professional, and radiates positivity. 

    Not only are her photos absolutely breathtaking, she's so quick! The morning after our wedding, we were sitting down at brunch and got an email with a lot of sneak peek photos and had the rest of the gallery to us about 5 days later! And let me just say - each photo is PERFECTION. Our wedding party and families all mentioned what a phenomenal photographer she is and we couldn't agree more; from her sharp eye and attention to detail, to her ability to give direction, and gentle way of working with those who are a bit camera shy (like myself!). I truly cannot stop looking at the photos she took and I'm so, so happy that we had her capture our day. Photos were most important for me since that's what we'll look back on for years and years, and I can wholeheartedly say that we chose the right photographer. Next time we need family photos, I know who I'm calling! Thank you Cecily!

    Intentional and Quality Photographer!

    We couldn't have picked a better photographer for our engagement and wedding! Cecily is incredibly intentional about capturing the beauty, authenticity, and joy in each shot. She instantly makes anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, brights light into the shoot, and her work is just so breathtakingly beautiful! We had a blast and were so blessed by the memories she captured for us on our big day.

    The best photographer ever!

    Shes amazing at what she does! She definitely captured who we are and what we wanted the photos to look like. She did more than just take our photos, she made sure everything was going smoothly as possible. Super friendly and very professional. Shes open to our ideas as well and we love her vision for the photos. It turned out so well! It was just amazing! No words could describe how breathtaking the photos are. Definitely going to recommend her to my friends who are getting married soon.

    An amazing choice for wedding photography!

    Cecily is the exact kind of person you would want taking your wedding photos! Her energy was fun yet focused, and her leadership skills really helped when trying to corral all of our family - She was able to get everyone where they needed to be, while simultaneously winning everyone over with her joyful and bright personality! I'm not sure how she did it!! And, of course, most importantly, her photos were beautiful!!! She had an incredible vision for our portraits, and she even scoped out the venue the day before so she could find just the right spots. We are two camera-shy people, yet Cecily was able to give us just the right direction, encouragement, and queues to help us loosen up and create incredible photos!

    Fantastic!

    Cecily was fantastic! She was very responsive throughout the process, was organized, friendly, and professional. She arrived on time the day of our wedding and captured everything beautifully. She asked us to fill out a shot list ahead of time so she was familiar with all of our important friend’s and family’s names day-of. Cecily coached us through different poses and helped us feel very natural and comfortable. Cecily delivered sneak peak photos just 24 hours after the wedding, and the full gallery in 2 weeks. Would highly recommend!

    Great experience with amazing photos!

    Cecily was amazing to work with! We used her for engagement photos and the wedding day. She was very accommodating for our schedules since we were traveling from out of state. I was nervous about posing for photos and she made everything feel so much more natural and less awkward. She also helped with keeping the wedding schedule on track and getting all the family organized and together for our family photos. Would definitely recommend her to a friend in the future!

    Outstanding photos, quick timeline, and welcoming energy!

    Cecily did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we could not have hired anyone better suited for the job! The angles, light, and moments she captures are unbelievable. She truly has an eye for design, photography, and for encapsulating the art of life into photo form. She was very flexible with timing, weather conditions, and making the most of what we had to work with. Her 5-business day rule for getting your photos back is unheard of! We were ecstatic to be able to receive and share our pictures from our wedding while still on our honeymoon. Her and her second shooter, Jacob's, energies are captivating and, being camera shy ourselves, they helped to ease us into and pose us for taking the most gorgeous photos.

    Cecily is a true artist and amazing at what she does

    Cecily shot our wedding in June. She was an absolute pleasure to work with! She made the entire experience fun and easy. We have researched many photographs and she has by far the best work. Her turnaround time is amazing - a true red carpet VIP experience. I would highly recommend to friends, family and clients!

    Amazing experience!

    I worked with Cecily to shoot both my engagement and wedding photos, and I am beyond thrilled! Cecily is professional, personable, timely, flexible, talented, creative, and wonderful to work with. Cecily went above and beyond to ensure our photos were excellent, even going so far as to meet my mom and I at the wedding location prior to the wedding date to scout photo spots. We had a complicated wedding, juggling multiple locations, and Cecily helped everything go smoothly. Cecily has a unique ability to capture people as they are, and I would highly recommend her services.

The photos were beyond anything we could have hoped for, and Cecily was professional, personable, and wonderful to work with at both the wedding and engagement session. Cecily truly went above and beyond to capture our day well, even going so far as to join my mother and I in touring the site of our wedding prior to the event. We would highly recommend Cecily!

    Above and Beyond

    Cecily went above and beyond the norm to photograph our daughter’s wedding. She took time to get to know family members and relationships. She scouted locations and lighting for premium settings. She was efficient and friendly, leading without bossing. I highly recommend Cecily Breeding to anyone looking for professional and artistic
    Photos capturing precious memories!

    Cecily is THE BEST. Her personality, photography skills, and ability to make beautiful photos and scenarios so easy to create without any awkwardness is unbelievable. She captured our wedding in a more perfect way than we could have ever imagined.

    Amazing. Gets your photos to you FAST!

    Cecily was our wedding photographer for our 2020 wedding. Covid-19 made us completely switch up plans 2 weeks prior, but Cecily didn't miss a beat. She scouted out our new location, and delivered above and beyond what we were expecting! Out of all the amazing benefits to hiring Cecily, I think one of the best is that she gets your photos to you insanely fast. We got sneak peeks to gush over during our honeymoon and within one week we had our full gallery to share with family and friends. ONE WEEK! If you're looking for excellence from start to finish, Cecily is your gal.

    Unbelievably talented

    I hired Cecily as my wedding photographer and couldn’t be happier with her work! She captured tons of amazing pictures and was so easy to work with. I have never had professional pictures before so I felt pretty awkward, but you would never know from her photos! So happy

    Cecily is Amazing!

    We looked through many different photographers and decided on Cecily based on the photos from her website. She is friendly, kindhearted, and really made the experience so much fun! When we took our beach and wedding photos she made us feel comfortable to be ourselves and she was amazing at capturing all the candid moments. Our pictures came out spectacular and we have had so many other couples say how jealous they are because of how many great photos we got! We highly recommend Cecily!

    Fantastic!

    We worked with Cecily on both our engagement and wedding day photos, and we couldn't have been happier with the results! Cecily is an incredibly talented, hard working and organized photographer, making both days a breeze for us.

    My partner and I aren't usually super comfortable being in glamorous photos, but Cecily made us feel comfortable and happy the entire time, while also giving us the best photos we have of ourselves.

    We worked with Cecily on locations for the couple shots, giving her a rough idea of what we wanted and thought might look good. Cecily was able to take our ideas, add in her own and produce truly beautiful photos we'll cherish forever - all in a location in which she'd never previously shot.

    Everything from the pre-ceremony preparations, right through to dancing into the night was captured perfectly. We also had a videographer on the day of the wedding, and Cecily was able to coordinate and work with him flawlessly.

    Within 24 hours of the wedding finishing, Cecily gave us access to a sneak peak of our photos. We then had access to everything within in week and were BEYOND happy with how everything turned out.

    Can't recommend Cecily highly enough!

She is talented wonderful to work with.
    I highly recommend Cecily.

    Cecily is the absolute BEST! She was our #1 option when it came to choosing a wedding photographer, as her work is top-notch and her prices are reasonable, especially given the quality of her work.

    From day 1, we were impressed with Cecily's work ethic and professionalism. We had a pretty good vision of what we wanted and Cecily worked with us to make a custom photography package that included an engagement session and wedding photography, plus she designed our save-the-dates too!

    Meeting with Cecily was a dream - she told us exactly what she needed from us to get a shot list and had some great ideas for portraits during the engagement session. Behind the camera, she made us comfortable and the shoots turned out wonderfully - you won't be bored with a lack of variety in your wedding photos if you choose Cecily.

    On top of the lovely aesthetic (I LOVE natural light photography and her bright, natural post-processing), Cecily's turn-around time was INCREDIBLE. We had ten teaser images by the time we landed in Kauai for our honeymoon, and we had the entire 350-ish image set before we left! A one-week turnaround is basically unheard of, from conversations I've had with other people, and Cecily makes it a policy for all of the couples she photographs.

    She also has contacts with several great second photographers, which we took advantage of for the wedding and were very happy with.

    Overall, if you're in the LA area, you NEED to use Cecily. Don't think twice - send her an email and experience the joy!
