    Wow! Did my fiance and I have the most amazing time! Thanks to Cynthia for being the most creative and thoughtful photographer we've worked with. We certainly couldn't of done it without her patience. No doubt would we choose her again. Our vision of a NYC photo shoot was exactly the way we imagined it to be, it was perfect!

    Artistic Excellence + the friend who makes you feel super taken care of.

    We found Cynthia on instagram, fell in love and has been avid fans ever since! We were super thrilled when she said yes to photographing us in midst this pandemic craziness! She's a magician with her work and all the photos turned out amazing! Friends and family are raving about the photos being, "magical," "dreamy" and "out of a fairytale." Working with Cynthia was super easy with her flexibility, professionalism and the talent to make you feel at ease in front of the lens in mere seconds. Hire. Her. Now.

    Cynthia was a pleasure to work with. From the beginning stages (brainstorming ideas) to the final outcome (getting our edited photos), she was accommodating, professional, and super cool.

    Cynthia is knowledgeable in the technical aspects of photography, while also also having a good understanding of aesthetics. Her shots are beautiful and artistic. I appreciate that she has an eye for things while having the skills to follow through with her ideas.

    She woke up at the crack of dawn to shoot our morning wedding and didn't rest till the end of the day. Throughout the whole day she was sweet, super supportive, and flexible.

    My husband and I loved all of the photographs and the fun GIFS.

    We highly recommend Cynthia! She's the best!

    Truly the best photographer ever!

    If you need a photographer, Cynthia is the ONE. We absolutely LOVED working with Cynthia! She is an amazing and talented photographer and our engagement and wedding photos turned out so beautiful!! And having GIFS included with your photos was such a delightful bonus to have! Cynthia has such a fun, lovely, friendly personality that we felt so comfortable and relaxed having her take our photos. She's super engaging and her warm heart and creativity truly shows not only in the photos she captures but also when communicating with her via email or instagram! We would absolutely love to work with her again. She was the BEST! Thank you so much Cynthia!

    Photos of a Lifetime

    My husband and I are so blown away by the amazing photos Cynthia captured for our wedding! She went above and beyond by being so disarming and creative. From the moment we met her we were so at ease. Cynthia is worth every penny. She is professional and will capture your special moments! Thank you Cynthia for everything!

    We called Cynthia about our engagement photos after reviewing through a lot of photographers and we felt her pictures best capture our style and what we want our engagement photos to be.
    From the moment we emailed her, she was responsive and flexible in setting up schedule that worked for us. The actual shoot was fun and sponteous; she gave us direction when we didn't know what to do, and accomdated us on our request. The pictures came out way better than our expectation! We are very happy we had her as our photographer! She truly has a gift!

    Amazing Photographer and Person!

    The photos are absolutely stunning! The compositions highlight her expertise and artistic eye and her craftsmanship is clearly evident in the elegant editing and curation. In total, she gave us 669 fully-edited high-resolution photos including several GIFs!

    We would recommend Cynthia Chung to anyone and everyone looking for an amazing photographer.

    Best photographer ever!

    Cynthia is an amaaaaaazing photographer!! She took both our engagement photos and our wedding photos and we couldn't be happier with her work. She is such a warm, friendly person and she made absolutely everyone feel comfortable at our wedding. On the day of the wedding, she and her second photographer Yuri worked so seamlessly with the rest of the team to help us stay on schedule while documenting our day from all angles and making us look good. (: We LOVE the GIFs that she does too. It was absolutely wonderful working with her!

    Beautiful, Fun Photography

    Cynthia is AMAZING. The photographs she takes are stunning and special, and are a truly beautiful way to remember such an important moment, but it's so much more than that. She has the uncanny ability to be absolutely everywhere at once and yet be completely invisible-- she captured every single moment, even the ones we didn't know were happening, and did so without drawing the focus to her or even letting people know they were being photographed, which led to some amazing candid shots. She's also the absolute SWEETEST and so so easy to work with. She's super friendly and so you feel really relaxed around her, which leads to some incredible portraits. I highly recommend taking engagement photos with her in addition to day-of photography-- I love that ours captured a more casual side of us and even more of our favorite places, but it also gives you more of an opportunity to get used to working with Cynthia and being in front of the camera. I noticed a huge difference between the photos we took at the beginning and end of the engagement shoot, and then between those and our wedding day photos. We were SO comfortable day-of because of that extra time with Cynthia, and the photos definitely turned out better for it. Finally, Cynthia is super fun, and that comes across in her photography. She's very game to experiment with settings and props, and very willing to go along with whatever crazy suggestions you have for where you want to have your photo taken. The photos she took are not only beautiful memories, they're a delightful encapsulation of us. THANK YOU CYNTHIA!!!

    Cynthia is amazing!

    Cynthia was such a fun and upbeat photographer! She is super talented and I love her personality. She was easy to communicate with and you can definitely see that she loves her work. Even though we changed locations and had a long day, she was full of energy and was such a pleasure to be with. I would recommend her to everyone!

    The preparation:
    Cynthia met with us at on a weekday evening (at our convenience) and spent hours getting to know what our vision is for the wedding. She gave us her professional opinion and made suggestions that were extremely helpful. She also provided us a checklist of pictures we would like to take during the wedding. She offered several options in her contract. Even the basic option came with a second photographer (Courtney, who was also a pleasure to work with). The terms were clear, concise, and the price was fair.

    The wedding:
    On the day of the wedding, Cynthia showed up early in the morning to the hotel on time to start the day. She captured the bride and groom preparations, and then we moved onto “first look” with the entire bridal party at Gantry State Park. The shots were fun, creative, and artsy. She captured every detail of the ceremony, even the small, intimate moments. We traveled to our reception in an Upper Westside loft, where she was able to capture the energy and liveliness in our reception.

    The product:
    Cynthia’s photos were beautiful and numerous. Through the thousands of photos Cynthia and Courtney took (in the 14-hour span!) we were able to relive our wedding day memories. She is also a master in creating a “love in motion”, aka gifs that turn fun or special moments into a looping picture. Looking at them put smiles on our faces. As a surprise addition, she created a video slideshow that captured our wedding reception. It was such an amazing work product.

    We highly recommend Cynthia to work in all kinds of events you may have. She is professional, pleasant, detailed, highly skilled, and flexible to meet your needs. Our wedding ended up getting featured in a wedding blog, nonetheless because of Cynthia’s amazing talent.

    Hands-down our favorite vendor!

    Cynthia was hands-down our favorite vendor for our wedding! She was recommended by a friend after we had a hard time finding someone within our budget that also understood our style. Cynthia was the perfect fit starting from our introductory call, during the planning process, and throughout our long and hectic wedding day. She not only played the role of photographer but also coordinator (and good friend by the end of the day). We are so grateful that she, along with her second photographer Martin, brought their expertise to help move us along the schedule and keep us on time while never rushing us. Cynthia was so fun to be around and our wedding party and family members raved about her in the weeks following. We received our photos within a few weeks in beautiful packaging and are so happy with how they came out. Also, so pumped about our whole folder of GIFs!! Thank you Cynthia for being a part of our big day. We highly recommend her for your wedding!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! She is by far one of the best photographers to have take your pictures at your wedding. I had a destination wedding in Puerto Rico and flew Cindy in. Cindy took pictures for our Welcome Cocktail and our Wedding both located in very different locations in Puerto Rico. The communication and coordination was flawless, we met a couple of times before flying out and and I was reassured 100% of the time that everything would be perfect and it WAS! My family fell in love with Cindy and at the end of the wedding she was like family (really...my family was even taking pictures of her too!). Cindy is quick on her toes and I don't know how she does it, but she's everywhere! We just got our sneak peak for our pictures last week and we are super excited to see the rest. I can't recommend Cindy enough. She is professional, very organized, seamless and everything a bride could ever ask for in a photographer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND CINDY!!! You really won't be disappointed.

    I cannot say enough good things about Cynthia Chung and her team-- I consider her to be the biggest blessing of our entire event. I was swamped and had trouble making my initial consult with her--she was patient and professional. I forgot to put my deposit in the mail-- she was understanding and flexible. I had a mini-meltdown on my wedding day-- she was encouraging and kind. Are we sensing a pattern here?

    One of the greatest joys of the wedding is being able to show off your photos, and now Cynthia is something of a household name with our friends and family. Always accessible and always sweet, she made the somewhat grueling task of getting the posed photos actually fun! My family keeps asking me, "Is she a friend of yours?? She's so sweet!" It wasn't until they saw the stunning photographs that they realized that her personality and kindness is only out-shined by her talent.

    Not only that, but Cynthia is dedicated to completing the job to the best of her ability, no matter what it takes. She brought assistants with her on both shoots, and stayed with us for nearly twelve hours on our wedding day.

    I can't wait to have Cynthia come to our next major event! Whenever I see someone getting married, I know I have the perfect photographer for them :-)

    Cynthia makes beautiful, romantic, and candid photographs, and brings about a natural approach with her warm and sincere personality. From our initial meeting, she was so quick to warm up to, and we were both giggling from the get go. She was always quick to respond to any questions or emails, and on the day of the wedding, she was calm and collected, and totally knew what she was doing. Her presence and handle on everything with the crazy on-goings, and my crazy family, made ME calm! I am so happy with the photographs, and am so grateful to have found her! I would totally recommend Cynthia to anyone who wants beautiful, artistic photographs, *without* the diva-photographer, pretentious approach.

    My fiance (now my husband) and I were planning to get married in NYC at the start of the year. It was extra tough for us since we live in the opposite side of the world (in Hong Kong) to find a reliable, talented, and trustworthy supplier to cover our special big day. I am/was very lucky to have found Cynthia Chung whom was such a delight since Day 1! She has been easy to talk to and responds promptly to any questions/concerns I had. She offers solutions and suggestions without being imposing. Her services are reasonably priced, and worth every cent. She is such a great supplier to work with! As evidenced by her awesome shots, Cynthia will cover your special day with every memorable detail! Whenever I look through our photos (every night), she brings me back to the best moments of our lives. Dennis and I are grateful and extremely happy! See you in Hong Kong!

    Wedding photography with a personal touch

    We found out about Cynthia online, and I am so glad we did! Her beautiful and cheery style was what drew us to her work, and we are so pleased with how the photos came out. She was communicative leading up to our wedding, very professional and personable on the day of. We appreciated how she and her assistant made the effort to engage with our guests throughout the reception in a way that they could get candid shots of all of the moments. The GIFs are such a unique and fun part of her style and we love how they came out!

    Absolute professional

    I am a wedding officiant and I work with a lot of photographers. Cynthia Chung is one of the best photographers I have ever worked with. She is fun, friendly, social, and I can see she is able to make her clients feel very comfortable during her shoot. She is assertive and respectfully took charge on how the wedding party should stand. During the ceremony she worked hard to ensure she took the best shots while still being respectful to the ceremony. I absolutely recommend her!

    Perfectly Captured City Hall Elopement – Beyond Our Expectations!

    Here’s an updated version with the addition about the black-and-white photos:

    We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture our NYC City Hall elopement! From the moment she arrived, she was like a total ninja, managing to slip inside City Hall even though we were already at max capacity for guests. We were a little worried about getting all the right shots, but she somehow captured every single moment so naturally and beautifully.

    The candid shots are absolutely stunning – they feel so real and capture the true joy and love my husband and I felt that day. Her direction and choice of locations around the city were spot-on, and she knew exactly how to frame each scene perfectly to bring out the best in us. We look amazing in every shot!

    One of the best parts? She was able to redo some of our favorite pictures in black and white at our request, and they turned out incredible. The contrast, the mood, and the timeless feel of those black-and-white images are just breathtaking and really capture the essence of our day.

    And we absolutely LOVE the GIFs – they’re one of the best parts of the whole album. She captured those little in-between moments that are just so “us,” and they add so much life to our memories. Looking through the photos, we were blown away by how wonderfully she documented each precious moment between us. She truly has a gift for telling a love story through her lens.

    Thank you for making our day unforgettable. We’re forever grateful!

    Cynthia is a true artist! I can't speak more highly of her. She did a stunning job with the engagement pictures and our wedding pictures were an absolute dream! We have been watching them over and over. She was able to capture so many sweet moments with all our family and friends. without us even noticing or knowing she was there. I am so glad we chose to work with her and have her picture for the rest of our lives.

    I can never get tired of looking at pictures taken by Cynthia. Her uniqueness and creativities bring her infinite ideas for pictures. She even did her own engagement session, how cool is that. Cynthia is so much fun to work with. You are AWESOME Cynthia Chung!

    Your Photographer for Years to Come!

    Cynthia took our engagement photos and I'm still in awe of them to this day. She was AMAZING to work with--super organized, reliable, and listens to what you're looking for (and makes cool suggestions if you need it). Her bubbly personality makes you feel like a NATURAL in front of the camera and she tells you exactly what to do (without feeling uncomfortable or awkward at all--a huge plus). Her engagement session felt like a fun, chill day at the park followed by some fun shots at a ramen restaurant! Photographs last a lifetime, so it's important to invest in the photographer you know your soul wants. And for us, it was Cynthia Chung Photography! Highly recommend for any engagement, wedding, elopement, and/or family shoot. We will definitely use her for years to come!

    Cynthia is a photographer, and an artist. She captures both candid and choreographed moments with the same level of artistry and refinement, and she is the least invasive photographer I've ever worked with. My husband and I found her work refreshing, and she delivered exactly how she said she would. She balances professionalism with charm, and is very easy to get along with...she really makes you feel like she's there for you. Yet at the same time, she has a kind way of getting the photos that she needs to get as well. It's a fantastic combination to own as a professional photographer and I've already recommend her to friends in need. We couldn't be happier with our photos! Thank you, Cynthia!

    Amazing time and photos!!

    My husband and I had the best time working with Cynthia for our micro-wedding/elopement. We aren’t the most comfortable when it comes to getting our pictures taken, but she made us feel relaxed and at ease while also keeping our energy up throughout the whole session. The entire experience, from initial conversation of what we were looking for to the day itself, was stress free and a blast. We are so happy that we chose to work with Cynthia and couldn’t recommend her more!
