    We highly recommend Celisia Stanton Photography!

    We’re so happy we booked with Celisia for our wedding!
    Details: We worked with Celisia Stanton Photography for our wedding in September 2023. We spoke with Celisia and set up the plan, and then Colette (associate) was our photographer for the day. Celisia was super helpful and friendly. She built a schedule for the day, which we then used for ourselves and other vendors. She was also flexible with our needs, and informative. We had no idea where to start, and she made the process so easy.
    Colette was absolutely wonderful. She made us (and everyone else) feel comfortable in front of the camera with her laid-back and bubbly demeanor, and rolled with the punches with ease. She told us exactly how to pose to get beautiful photos, but in such a way that we didn’t even really notice she was doing it. It felt very natural. She was also incredibly efficient, so photos took less time than we expected, giving us more precious time with family and friends. We received our photos (so many!) very quickly, and they are gorgeous and fun! We absolutely adore them, will treasure them for the rest of our lives, and would not change a thing.

    Cannot rate highly enough!

    From the first phone call introducing ourselves through the planning process and through the end of our wedding day, we knew we were in good hands. Celisia's made us feel comfortable right away, talking us through the creation of a wedding day timeline that ensured we could be present on our big day and know that the important moments would be captured. The two associates we had with us throughout the day, Colette and Marina, were kind, patient, attentive, and their personalities really put us at ease.

    Three days after our wedding, we received a special treat in our email inbox - a sneak peak of our wedding photos to look through together, share with family, and re-live the day while we wait excitedly for the full album.

    Celisia and her team are not only awesome people, but their photography delivers realness, emotion, and sentimentality. We are thrilled that we'll have them forever to help us remember the special moments that mark the start of our married life together!

    Cannot recommend celisia enough

    My partner and I hired Celisia and her associate, Colette (who we'll review, too), and both were absolute dreams to work with. Our photos were incredible, they're both unparalleled talents, and we cannot recommend them enough.

    Celisia Stanton Photography's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind review!! We loved getting to work with you both and loved how your photos turned out. :D

    They made our day look stunning

    Celisia and her team was awesome! We had two of her associates take our photos on our big day, but Celisia made sure we had the best ones based on our needs. She was very responsive with my questions and seemed very energetic. Our gallery of pictures were very well organized and she was good at explaining what else we needed to do in terms of ordering prints and our album. It is hard choosing a few good photos to show off their skills because they are all amazing and beautiful

    Celisia Stanton Photography's reply:

    Anne this is so sweet! Thank you so much for the kind words -- we absolutely loved working with you and are so excited to get working on your album :)

    Amazing To Work With

    We booked 8 hours and worked with Colette as our lead associate and also added a second photographer. By talking with Celisia beforehand, we were able to plan out most of the day and pick the duration that was right for us. The schedule was realistic and we kept pretty much to it on the big day. Both photographers were punctual and extremely professional, not to mention the photos turned out great. The directions they gave us were easy to follow and they found some great spots at our venue despite never having been there before. We really enjoyed Celesia’s editing style and were impressed with the turnaround on the pictures. We got a sneak peek just three days after the wedding which let us post professional photos while still on our honeymoon. Overall we highly recommend booking through Celisia Stanton photography.

    Best. Photographer. Ever

    Celisia is literally everything we could have asked for in a photographer. She is insanely talented, responsive, and a joy to work with. She did both our engagement and wedding photography and both her and her 2nd shooter Cerri captured our day perfectly.

    Incredible Experience, Incredible Photos

    Celisia was such a delight to work with! Celisia took our engagement photos, her associate Mariah took our micro-ceremony photos, and Celisia and her associate Jess took our larger reception photos. Celisia was flexible when we needed to change our wedding plans to have a micro-ceremony and a later, larger reception due to the pandemic which was much appreciated. Celisia has a knack of making you feel so comfortable right away. It was so fun taking photos with her and her associates. We loved how Celisia gave excellent direction to us and our wedding party on how to pose for the photos. Turnaround for the edited photos was quick and we were shocked at how many sneak peeks we received. The photos were gorgeous and so many people have asked us who our photographer was -- they're that good! We cannot recommend Celisia enough.

    A comfortable and fun experience

    Celisia took our engagement and wedding photos! She suggested we do an engagement session to help us get comfortable in front of the camera and also her presence. We were nervous, but she made the session super fun and easy! She gave us enough direction to keep the session moving, but never forced anything that made us feel unlike ourselves. She also brought a portable speaker and played music in the background, which helped us relax.

    Since we loved our engagement photos and all of the natural lighting, Celisia was also our wedding photographer. She was super organized leading up to the day of, and asked us to fill a timeline out for her. The day of our wedding, she definitely kept us on track and on time! We added a few group photos at the last second, and Celisia just rolled with it. She and her assistant were super sweet, and made photos a breeze. Celisia even gave us a few printed out photos THE SAME DAY of our wedding before they left for the evening. A few days later, we got a ton of sneak peak photos and they are GORGEOUS. I’ve looked at them every day since she shared them. We can’t thank Celisia enough!

    Perfect Engagement Pictures

    I would highly recommend Celisia Stanton Photography. My fiance and I had so much fun taking our engagement photos! We had never taken professional pictures before so we were a little nervous, but Celisia kept us relaxed and laughing the entire time. She had plenty of poses for us which made it easy, but she often asked if there was anything we wanted to try or do differently. The smiles and laughs in my pictures are genuine; she perfectly captured our love and happiness and I am so grateful!

    She was great!

    We loved her! She was great at wrangling in our crew and when we got our sneak peek back we were blown away with how gorgeous they were! We would definitely recommend :)

    Awww thank you so much, Sera! You're the sweetest!! I had so much fun capturing your day. It was seriously GORGEOUS! Made my job so easy :).

    Simply Amazing

    From the first phone call we had talking about our wedding, Celisia was amazing! We hit it off right away and I knew during our conversation that she would be our dream photographer. She is easy going, extremely prompt, and so talented!

    When we met for our engagement photos, we were immediately at ease in front of the camera. She made it so much fun! When we received our engagement photos, I was in tears because she captured the two of us so well.

    What can I say about our wedding pictures? Celisia is so organized! She had us fill out a questionnaire to describe details that were important to us, along with a photo shot list. It made wrangling family after the ceremony a complete breeze!

    It's been a few weeks since we received our wedding pictures and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't look at them. They are absolutely gorgeous and I love how natural they are! Celisia captured every amazing moment of our most perfect day.

    Because we loved working with her, we set up a session with us and our dogs. Minus one of the dogs barking the first 10 minutes, she captured so many beautiful moments.

    I am beyond happy with everything she has done for us and highly recommend working with her. We truly hope she continues to capture our memories for a long time to come.

    Absolutely stunning photos!

    I met Celisia a few years before I got married and always knew that I wanted to have her as my wedding photographer even though I don't live in Minnesota anymore. Celisia flew out to shoot my wedding in Washington,D.C. and I couldn't be happier with the results of the photos. I was impressed with her flexibility and commitment to providing us with the best experience and the best pictures. For starters it started pouring rain for our family photos and Celisia didn't blink an eye. She grabbed an umbrella and shot away. During the ceremony it seemed like she was everywhere at once. She did a great job at capturing both the candid moments full of emotion along with the more formal shots. Both my husband and I have big families that don't listen very well, yet Celisia was able to bring everyone together in a professional way and gave great cues so everyone knew what to do. I couldn't recommend her more and I can't stop looking at our photos! Thank you Celisia!!!

    Celisia Stanton Photography's reply:

    Thank you sooo much Anna Maria!! I loved capturing yours and Christian's day, so glad that you love your photos, that makes me so stinking' happy.

    Celisia was absolutely amazing. Where do I even start?! She went above and beyond to accommodate a very last minute shoot, we barley had time for introductions and I felt like we had known eachother for years. She made us feel very comfortable and we were blown away by the quality of the images we got back. I would recommend her to anyone and I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

    Working with Celisia was a dream come true! I often feel awkward around a camera, but her reassurance and confidence with her shots calmed me on my wedding day. The photos were amazing and captured our day perfectly. I felt like I knew her for years and she was very personable! Choosing Celisia as our photographer was the best decision I made for my wedding day.

    Celisia was a blessing to have as our photographer! Immediately we felt at ease and natural during the shoot. She has a positive and genuine attitude, which we found wasn’t the case for other photographers we’ve met in the past. Then afterward her editing was amazing! We ended up getting tons of compliments from our friends and family members - we would totally recommend her!

    Celsius is very passionate about making sure you're getting what you're expecting. She works through the details and then gets to work. And her own ideas for an image are amazing and turn out great! I would definitely go to her again.

    Celisia is great at directing, making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and getting the shot! She knew exactly how to help me choose an outfit, and what poses would work for us, as a couple. She worked with the lighting, and the pictures came out so beautifully. I am so happy we chose Celisia Stanton Photography for our engagement photos!

    Celisia did a great job for my wedding! She met with me a few months before hand and really took the time to get to know me and my husband and what we wanted. I sent her tons of ideas and lists and she did a great job making my vision come to life. She was professional and ran around testing lighting and made sure to get the best shot possible. I was definitely stressing out with all the planning but photography was one of the things I didn't have to worry about because celisia kept me calm. Would definitely recommend

Make sure whatever your occasion, to book Celisia as your photographer!
