    Best choice we made the whole wedding

    If you're looking for someone to take AH-MAZING photos for your wedding, look no farther! Celeste did an incredible job both with our wedding photos as well as our engagement photos. She's such a sweet, pleasant woman and she put us at ease which enabled her to capture raw, emotional moments that we'll treasure forever. My family also really appreciated her promptness and direction with our group portraits after the ceremony. No one person (besides us) had to stick around for photos for more than 15 minutes. 10/10!!

    Rebekah, this totally makes my day! I LOVED getting to be there for your wedding day, and I have to confess to tearing up several times. You guys are wonderful together! Many blessings!

    calm, responsive, and outstanding end product!

    We had to postpone our big Midwest wedding indefinitely and opted for an intimate (immediate family only) ceremony in VA. I still wanted photos of our wedding day and hoped to find someone who would do a decent job in a short amount of time. I found Celeste online and loved her photos. She agreed to zoom with me and within minutes I knew she was the presence i wanted/needed at my wedding (that i was pulling off in less than 4 weeks). Now, having experienced her and her work I know I was SO lucky that she was able to accommodate our wedding!
    From the moment she walked in the door it felt like having another family member there, one who was incredibly calm, flexible, and clearly highly skilled. My whole family loved her. When we got the photos back I was in awe. She captured SO much. I have no idea how she got so many angles. I love how she captured such sweet emotions from me, my husband and every member of our family! I'd recommend Celeste again and again. She has such a calm presence, is adaptable to any situation, has an eye for incredible shots and the skill to capture them, and is truly just a joy to work with!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Abby, thank you so much for your sweet words! I cannot tell you how pleasurable it was for me to be with you on your wedding day! Bless you!

    Celeste captures the beauty and joy of your wedding day!

    Celeste did a beautiful job capturing the movement, joy and excitement of our wedding day! We had such a great time having her take our photos for our wedding day. She has an incredible gift and we are in awe of our wedding photos!

    She was great!

    The morning of my wedding we had a few last minute disasters, Celeste worked around the craziness that was going on. I’m very greatful that she went with the flow and made my day easier!
    Also, her pictures are beyond beautiful, I was very picky with this aspect of my big day and she did not disappoint. I will cherish these photos forever.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Thanks Ashlee! I was so honored to be part of your wedding day. Your wedding was beautiful! Blessings to you all!

    Dream Photographer!

    Celeste is nothing short of amazing! She did an incredible job with both the engagement and wedding photos, and we are so grateful to have so many gems from our special day. Celeste was extremely flexible and so gracious and kind when I (bride) had a complete meltdown days before the wedding. Throughout the entire process she made us feel comfortable and celebrated. She is superwoman. You can't go wrong with Celestial Sights Photography! Will definitely be recommending her to others and will request her again for future occasions!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Erica! This makes my day! I am so thrilled that you are happy with your photos, and I was so glad to get to celebrate your wedding day with you! Many blessings and can't wait to see you again soon!

    Fantastic photographer for any occassion

    Not only did Celeste photograph our wedding, she also did our engagement pictures which were both amazing! She really takes the time to understand your vision while giving valuable input to ensure your photos are amazing for your big day. She's also very organized making sure she gets all your desired shots. Our wedding day timeline got a little behind due to all the craziness, and she was able to adapt and still get all the shots we wanted. Would definitely recommend you use Celeste if you want quality photos for your wedding (or any occassion) as well as a nice, professional photographer!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Taylor! I cannot tell you how happy I was to shoot your wedding :) I'm so glad that we were able to get what you wanted. Thank you for such a sweet review!

    One of the best decisions I made for my wedding was hiring Celeste. From the moment we sat down on her back porch to chat about this whole process, I knew she was the one. She is hilarious, kind, and so quick with her work. I was shocked at how many photos we got back from her, but also grateful that she had culled them down to a manageable amount. There were so many different locations and angles, and yet I didn't feel like I was spending the whole day taking photos. I will cherish these forever, but I will also cherish the memories we made taking the pictures - we had such a blast working with Celeste and I'm so glad she stands out as a wonderful part of our day.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Abbie, I couldn't have enjoyed working with you and Len more! You two are an amazing couple - full of energy, love, and good humor. Thanks for letting me share in your special day!

    Celeste was amazing. She capture all the amazing memories that made our wedding perfect. She was so much fun to work with and she was able to capture our personalities in our engagement and wedding photos. I can’t to work with her again. Pregnancy and family photos we know who to call.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Stacey! I had such a great time with you both and can't WAIT to see your growing family over the years!

    I'm so grateful that I found Celestial Sights Photography, not only was Celeste super fun to do a photoshoot with, she made us feel comfortable and her pictures turned out amazing. She caught all the silly, fun moments of my wedding but also the sentimental and intimate moments as well. She gave us way more pictures then I was expecting and they all were beautiful, thought out and the quality was perfect. I highly recommend her and her team.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Awww! Thanks, Kylie! I was utterly charmed by you :) I'm so glad I got to photograph your day!

    Celeste was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! Our engagement and wedding photos turned out wonderful! She was flexible with scheduling our engagement session rather quickly since we had only hired her two and half months prior to our wedding. For our wedding day I was worried about the lack of daylight we would have due to it being in November and having a 30 minute drive in between the church and the venue, but she took control, was organized, and made sure we got all of our shots at both the church and the venue before we ran out of daylight. I didn't have to worry about a thing. She was very responsive throughout the process and a quick turnaround for receiving our photos. We loved working with Celeste, and to top it all off her photos are phenomenal! I would highly recommend her to anyone!

    Celeste was amazing from top to bottom. I first contacted her about an engagement shoot, warning her that we wanted to be adventurous and had some fun locations in mind. She was totally down with that! So, of course, we did the same for the wedding itself! She braved ladders, broken down buildings, river crossings, and tunnels for us to get the perfect pictures. During the wedding itself, she and her assistant captured all the moments I requested and kept the portraits moving along. The photos turned out gorgeous and I couldn't be happier!

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Hurray! I am SO glad y'all love your photos! I had such an incredible time with you all!

    Working with Celeste was such a delight! We first met her for our engagement photo session, and she did such a wonderful job putting us at ease and also directing us (we were pretty darn clueless!). Our engagement photos were beautiful and had us looking forward to the wedding photos she would also be taking for us!! Celeste was very organized throughout the process, and made sure that we thought through what we wanted on our wedding day by asking us a series of questions in the form of a short worksheet. This was super helpful and made us sit down to think through all the group photos we would need to get that day. On our wedding day, Celeste and her helpers were efficient and organized, taking so many INCREDIBLE photos! She captured the day so well, and my husband and I tear up when we look through them. She caught so many lovely moments and all of our emotions on the day. Celeste was also very timely about getting photos back to us (for both engagement and wedding photos) and made that process very easy. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Celeste!!!

    Allison, working with you two didn't feel like work at ALL! You are perfect for each other, and I'm so grateful that we got to share in your special day :)

    Celeste and her team were professional and so efficient on the day-of, which is what you need when you have so many other things on your plate. She is friendly, but authoritative so everyone knows where to be and when for pictures. They stay organized and on-schedule and make sure to get any shots that you want! We couldn't have asked for more from a photographer.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Such kind words! We had such a great time participating in your wedding! Thanks for letting us be part of your day!

    Celeste is SO good at what she does, and it's evident from the first meeting that she is attentive, responsive, organized, and - on top of all of that - absolutely passionate about capturing the sweetest, most precious of life's moments. She is a clear communicator, always speaks kindly but doesn't beat around the bush, and is accommodating to your requests and concerns. During our wedding day, she was PERFECT at keeping things moving, keeping people laughing, and quickly explaining the next shot so that everyone was on the same page. Our images turned out absolutely beautiful, and I would 10/10 recommend Celestial Sights Photography for your wedding -- you won't have to worry about a thing, and you'll get some seriously stunning images from Celeste and her careful eye for beauty.

    Celestial Sights Photography's reply:

    Yes! All the laughing! I love it when my clients enjoy themselves throughout their day :) Every part of the wedding, even the photos, should feel like celebration. So many blessings!

    I love my wedding photos from Celestial Sights! Photography was one of my biggest priorities for my wedding and Celeste did a superior job in capturing every little detail on my big day. She was fun and easy to work with which helped my husband and I to feel perfectly comfortable in front of a camera. The photos turned out beautifully and there are so many of them! Thank you Celeste!

    My husband and I loved working with Celeste for our engagement and wedding photos! She made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera, which definitely came across in the beautiful portraits she captured. Celeste was also a pro at herding our guests for group shots, even when we asked for a photo with everyone in attendance! She is both easy-going and organized, which made planning the elements of our photography package really simple. We hope to have the opportunity to work with Celeste again!

    Celeste did such a fantastic job with our wedding photos.

    When we first started planning, I was hesitant to hire a professional photographer--we thought we'd hire a friend/amateur photographer in order to keep things "simple." But then we figured, heck, might as well hire a pro! We were so glad we did. Celeste is SUCH a pro. She got so many awesome shots & knows exactly what to look for. She knows how to find/frame you in the random chaos of the wedding day and make you look great even if you're a sweaty mess.

    Celeste took the time to get to know us, and she was able to figure out the kind of people we are and the kinds of pictures we'd want. It was really a very personal experience without being overwhelming. Our biggest fear with hiring a professional photographer was that he/she would get in the way--Celeste *never* got in the way...but she somehow always captured the perfect shot. On top of this professional excellence, she's just a great person! Get to know her. Wouldn't change a thing about this experience. Also--those sunset pictures? Who knew we were such models?! ;)

    Thanks, Celeste.

    Celeste is THE BEST! As soon as I met with Celeste I knew she was the best fit for me and my husband. Not only is she super talented, but she's just a wonderful human being. Talking to her felt like talking to a friend and so I knew that I wanted her to be the one following me around on my wedding day.

    First, her wedding package includes a free engagement photo session and ours was amazing. Celeste helped us a beautiful venue and and the photos were just as gorgeous. Now, my husband is not the kind to love having his photo taken, but Celeste did such an awesome job directing while also letting us have fun and be ourselves, that not only was she able to capture his real smile (the one I can never seem to get him to use in pictures) but hubby actually admitted to having fun and enjoying himself!

    Second, Celeste was great, not only during the planning phase before the wedding but also on the day of. Leading up to the day she was very responsive and super on top of things. She's done so many weddings that she knows all the right questions to ask so I really felt like I knew what to expect for the big day. The day of our wedding Celeste and her assistant were awesome at wrangling our families and wedding party and making sure to get all of the specific shots I requested. She easily handled the chaos and got things done quickly and efficiently while still somehow making us feel loved.

    All in all working with Celeste was 100% the best decision. She's awesome and our photos turned out so beautifully, even better than I imagined, and I couldn't be happier. Plus, Celeste also does family portrait, maternity, and newborn sessions, so I'm sure we'll be working with her again in the not too distant future!

    Oh, Hannah! Thank you! I had SO much fun with you two, and I definitely can't wait for more sessions together :)

    Celeste is super friendly and honest about her services, which we appreciated. We also liked the complimentary engagement session because that gave us a chance to get to know the photographer but also to understand our style too. The pictures in the church and on the water were stunning. Thank you!

    Celeste is amazing!!! Our pictures turned out better that we ever could have imagined and have received endless compliments on them already! Celeste also made amazing use of our time...capturing such perfect images without us having to pose and smile for hours on end (which my husband especially appreciated since pictures are certainly not his favorite activity). We also appreciated her sneaking us away as the sun was setting to snap some pictures that ended up having the most amazing lighting.

    Celeste was so sweet and easy to work while staying organized and vocal with directions which we so appreciated. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Celeste did a wonderful job providing photography for our wedding. She utilized the engagement session to get to know us better and understood which types of pictures we valued the most. On the wedding day, Celeste and her shooting partner, Evan, did a remarkable job capturing all the most important moments, including those in the pre-wedding, ceremony, and reception. We were very satisfied with the quality of pictures Celeste produced and highly recommend her for any special event requiring the resources of a professional photographer.

    Celeste was phenomenal! My husband and I had so much fun with her behind the camera. Having had our engagement session with a different photographer -who made both my husband and me uncomfortable- it was so wonderful to spend our wedding day with Celeste.

    Thank you so much for such a sweet review! I want all my clients to feel like I'm just another friend at their wedding!

    We absolutely love our wedding photos! Celeste was wonderful to work with - she helped us determine the best package and price for what we needed. She is very professional and also very friendly, which made wrangling family and friends for portraits relatively easy. Of course, what really matters are the photographs - they are beautiful. We love how she captured the beauty of the venue and the ceremony. There are so many photographers to choose from - we highly recommend Celestial Sights!
