    Wonderful photos of our special day!

    Ciprian did our wedding day photos as well as an engagement photo session. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Ciprian made the engagement session very fun and relaxing. He captured our personalities and hobbies in the photos as well as an extremely gorgeous backdrop - and the photos turned out better than expected!
    On the wedding day, through all the nerves and emotions, Ciprian guided us through an emotional first look, then a bunch of fun photos with the wedding party and extended family after the ceremony. The REALLY special part, though, was the sunset and dusk photography of just me and my husband that Ciprian did. I'm really glad we trusted and followed his artistic direction, because the photos of just us are STUNNING. He used light and shadow and movement to capture our venue and the night so well.
    Overall, we feel very lucky to have chosen a photographer that not only hits all the standard shots (bridal party, family, dancing, etc.) but also has an artistic vision that he uses to elevate our photos together.

    Amazing photos, amazing photographer!

    It’s hard to find a photographer that has a special eye for photos and is also super capable of handling large wedding groups. Our photos are phenomenal and he captured so many amazing candid shots.

    Highly skilled and recommended photographer!

    Ciprian was amazing to work with. We had some unexpected changes on the day of the wedding, which were out of our control. He was flexible and accommodating, and was able to go with the flow. He got us so many amazing photos and really captured the special moments. We can’t even pick our top few favorites. He is a wonderful photo director which I appreciated, as that is a skill that not every photographer has. He wanted to make sure we got all the photos that we wanted. We definitely recommend hiring him for your wedding!

    Ciprian was a dream to work with!

    Ciprian is creative, flexible, responsive, an amazing artist, and KIND! My fiancee and I have never been very comfortable in front of a camera... until we met Ciprian. We loved that Ciprian takes photos of the moments that are happening, without a lot of staging. He did our engagement shoot, and we LOVE the photos! He made us and our kiddo feel comfortable, and look gorgeous! He was incredibly helpful and responsive when the COVID-19 virus made us change our plans and reschedule the wedding. We can't recommend him highly enough!

    Could not have had a better photographer

    Ciprian captured so many tender moments that will forever remind me of the joy and happiness that was shared on my wedding today. I cannot imagine what the day would have been without him.

    Great experience!

    Ciprian did an amazing job at our wedding! He was very professional, efficient, and talented. I was impressed how quickly he captured the bridal party and family photos after the ceremony; I was expecting to take pictures the entire cocktail hour, but we were able to finish up earlier than expected without sacrificing quality so that my fiance and I still had a little time to mingle with guest prior to the reception. As the groomsmen were taking photos, I was getting a little chilly and Ciprian even lent me his jacket- a small gesture that went a long way! You know someone is a professional when you hardly notice them at the wedding, yet they captured shots from so many angles. I would highly recommend Ciprian Photography for weddings/events!

    Beautiful photos

    We hired Ciprian for our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out beautiful! Ciprian was very relaxed and professional during the whole planning process and helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. Not only did the photos turn out wonderful, we received them so quickly! Within 2-3 days of our engagement session, we received 600 files! And within 2 days of our wedding, we received 150 as a preview to share and we received the rest of the images within 3 weeks of the wedding! Thank you for capturing our beautiful wedding!

    Absolutely Stunning Work

    Ciprian's work is absolutely stunning. We used him for our engagement photos and wedding, and we're in awe of the photos. We could not recommend him more highly. The colors pop but are natural, and the lines are crisp, which is exactly what we were looking for. On top of great photography, he basically set out our entire timeline for us when we had no clue what we were doing. We told him that all we knew was we wanted sunset photos, and in March he pulled out his phone, looked up the sunset in October, and then explained how it would work in Tahoe with the mountains and created our entire timeline, including when we should start hair and makeup for the girls. He has a great personality and was easy to hang out with, gives great direction (what do we do with awkward hands....), and moved everything along quickly so we could get back to the party and focus on guests. We loved his candids, and appreciated that he took our request to do some traditional family photos for the mothers who wanted to hang them up. I would definitely recommend him to anybody, and have already.

    Stunning Photos

    Thank you so much for capturing our wedding for ever- your photos mean more to us than we can express. They are beautiful, stunning and amazing- yet honest, real and very "us". Between the wedding and engagement photos we could not have asked for more. You captured us perfectly, and helped us feel at home in front of the camera. We would recommend Ciprian to anyone looking for a Tahoe photographer and hope to work with him again.

    Could not have asked for a better photographer

    We could not have asked for a more amazing wedding photographer to capture such an important day. Ciprian is professional, personable, and talented. He captured the Lake Tahoe scenery so beautifully in our pictures while somehow still making us the focus of the pictures. You can tell how experienced he is, and he knew of the best location to have our photos taken before the ceremony. I also dont think I’ve seen anyone work harder at a wedding. We were a little concerned at the beginning about not having a second wedding photographer but had the utmost confidence in Ciprian when he assured us that we didn’t need one—well, he was 100% right, and I swear he managed to be in multiple places at one time (he’s a wedding ninja). He also took charge of the wedding party and guests when it came time for the posed group pictures. He has a way of being assertive (which is a must as a wedding photographer) while still being personable—everyone was very impressed with him. He got all of our pictures to us so quickly after the wedding, and they turned out even better than what we expected or imagined. We will cherish these pictures forever and are so incredibly thankful that Ciprian was our photographer.

    South Lake wedding

    Ciprian shot our wedding a few weeks back and was great to work with before and during the wedding and we are extremely happy with our pictures! I would absolutely recommend him.

    My husband and I had a great experience with Ciprian, from start to finish. He was able to accommodate us on very short notice and made everything very easy from signing the agreement, to updating us about the status of the photos, to delivering all 600 images in less than a week. Ciprian was professional and immediately responsive with communications, and I want to emphasize what a quick turnaround he had with 600 images. If that wasn't enough, most importantly, the images themselves were out of this world. Our ceremony was on Lake Tahoe at sunset and Ciprian captured all of it beautifully and perfectly.

    Amazing Photographer!

    We hired Ciprian for our wedding at the Hyatt in Incline Village and he was amazing! We had a little bit of rain but he handled everything better than expected and we are obsessed with our photos and have received so many compliments! He's super professional, timely, and knowledgeable... we loved the poses he put us in and that our photos don't look like everyone else's. We also received our photos within weeks of the wedding. Couldn't recommend him more!

    Like working with a friend!

    We couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer- from the moment I contacted him, he responded immediately and worked with me on timing and other details. Being that ours was a destination wedding, there was no meeting before the big day but I'm so glad I went with him! The quality of the photos is unmatched and pricing is well within reason for what you receive. I really enjoyed our time working with Ciprian and I feel like from the moment he walked into the room, it was like meeting with an old friend- he made myself, my new husband and my family feel completely at ease and the pictures show genuine smiles and laughter. Thank you Ciprian for documenting our day!

    Ciprian is Amazing!

    Ciprian was recommended to us from one of our family member's as he had photographed their wedding. We are so happy that we had Ciprian photograph us for our engagement photos as well as our big day. My husband and I are not the most photogenic nor are we very natural in photos and he helped us feel so comfortable. In addition, he had our photos available for viewing within 24-36 hours... yes, 1.5 days it was ready! He is so quick with responding to all emails and ensured to answer all of our questions.

    He is amazing and worked our wedding from 8am to 9pm and caught the best moments of our day. Trust me, go with Ciprian!!!

    Ciprian is Fantastic - Highly Recommend!

    Ciprian photographed our engagement photos & our wedding, and was a total dream. He was super responsive, well-priced, and took great photos! He even learned everyone's name in the wedding party to put everyone at ease and get them in position. And best of all, he turned around several dozen photos less than 24 hours after our wedding wrapped so that we could share the pro shots right away :) Would highly recommend working with Ciprian!

    The best!

    Please do not waste your time going with anyone else but Ciprian to capture your wedding day! He is absolutely phenomenal. He came at the random recommendation of a distant friend and thank goodness! Just like most people getting married in Tahoe, our wedding was a destination wedding and that adds another level of stress on top of everything else. No stress with Ciprian at all. Every interaction with him, from start to finish, was easy and professional. He doesn't jerk you around, he follows through with everything he says he will do, and he pays attention to the most minute details. Our engagement and wedding pictures are flawless. He captured every detail we could have ever hoped for and more. He was great with us, our wedding guests, and our dog! :) We hope to work with him again. Go with Ciprian. You will be so thankful you did.

    As soon as I saw Ciprian's work, I knew he was exactly what I was looking for. Not only does he make his subjects look fantastic, he also captures the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe in an unbelievable way. It's pretty clear now why every single review I could find awarded him 5 stars. He was professional, charismatic, friendly, and efficient. Ciprian shot both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and in both cases he had hundreds of pictures ready for us by the very next day (with more coming later on as well). He did an outstanding job capturing our day and us as a couple, and we would hire him again in a second.

    DO NOT WASTE ANOTHER MINUTE OF YOUR VALUABLE TIME LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER! Ciprian is your man! My husband and I decided to embrace the rebel within us and elope. We hired Ciprian for two hours on a Monday evening to capture our memories. We just received the photos and are in awe of what we are seeing. How that man was able to make two middle aged people look younger (lighting tricks? special camera lenses?) through his photographic capabilities is beyond me! He suggested we move the location of our ceremony due to lighting challenges/shading that was happening outdoors and we are so glad that he felt comfortable suggesting it because our photos are breathtaking. This man is the WHOLE PACKAGE! GO AHEAD...be a fool and keep searching for a photographer while Ciprian's calendar FILLS UP and you miss out on the opportunity of a lifetime! People like this are rare to find and I'm dedicating myself to marketing his talents to others. Not only did Ciprian instruct us like a producer of a movie on where to walk and look back and towards the mountains so that each photograph exhibited a new perception. He also caught beautiful photos of our group talking, laughing and being natural. I also asked if we could take certain poses and he was most accommodating and pleased to do it. Your wedding day is NOT one where regret and remorse should happen because you did not follow your heart! Look at his website and find the list of contents where he has examples from SEVERAL specific weddings and see the gift this man has to offer you through his services. I was happy to sacrifice other luxuries of a wedding to secure Ciprian's services and that was the wisest thing I/we did! I hope you call Ciprian and experience the blessing he has given us. Thank you Ciprian!!!

    P.S. We also used Distinctive Video Productions as well as Rev. Dave Beronio and the three made an AMAZING TEAM!!!

My husband and I love every single picture he took. I know picking your photographer is such an important step when planning your wedding and that’s why I made sure I had the best around! He exceeded our expectations and completely captured every moment perfectly! We do not have one bad thing to say about him or his work! Ciprian you are the best around and we cannot thank you enough for making our day so special and giving us the most beautiful pictures ever!!!!

    My husband and I loved the way Ciprian captured every detail of our wedding. He captured the love and excitement of every moment. His skills with lighting and use of black and white photography could not be more perfect. He exceeded our every expectation and gave my husband and I a gift of amazing wedding photos that we cannot stop looking at. These pictures will be something we cherish forever. Highly recommend booking Ciprian if you're looking for a professional, enthusiastic, serious, and friendly photographer. He made the special day even more special.
    Also, we'll be calling him in the future to see if we can book him for other anniversary photos, not just our wedding.
    Thanks, Ciprian!

    Ciprian is an excellent photographer! I am so very glad we chose him. We booked a pre-wedding photoshot in Lake Tahoe and the experience was beyond amazing. He showed us the right spot to take pictures. He showed us the right pose. He made us relaxed and enjoyed the shot. Everything was very natural. I got many many great pictures that I love. He is very good at both capturing the nature scene and our portraits. He is very prompt in delivering the high quality pictures.
    I cannot praise him enough. What a shame he's not in Houston (where my wedding is going to be). Otherwise I hv no doubt I would love to have him during my big day as a photographer.
