Southern Sent on 12/26/2024Extremely Talented & Calm Demeanor
Cynthia is an incredible photographer and as a planner, one of our favorites to recommend! Not only does she respond quickly, come with tons of energy on wedding day, but she's so chill. With all the emotions on a wedding day, it's extremely important to have vendors who help keep you calm so you can fully enjoy your day and Cynthia is that vendor!
Added bonus: she gets photos edited quickly and they blow us away every time! :) -

I cannot say enough amazing things about Cynthia! She has truly become a part of our family with how many photoshoots she has done for us (4 so far) and her overall personality. She has an amazing talent and is so fun to be around. She had previews for us within 10 minutes of our reception and had our full album ready a week later!!! I will forever recommend Cynthia to anyone and we will continue to use her in the future! -

We had to move our wedding to from Banner Elk to Chapel Hill due to Helene and Cynthia made it all happen at a new venue without missing a beat! She kept everything upbeat, fun, and special. Everyone felt at ease (even with our long list of family shots) and the pictures were unbelievably gorgeous!! And the turn around on our photos was so quick - seriously 10+/10 would definitely recommend! -

Katherine Sent on 06/10/2024Cynthia is the BEST. Will never work with anyone else.
I spent so much time researching and looking through photographers to find the PERFECT one and without a doubt, Cynthia is it. She is professional, kind, FUN, bright, and so easy to communicate and work with. It was extremely important to me to find someone accepting and love-inclusive. Her photography evokes a feeling of joy, happiness, and brightness -- which is exactly what I wanted. Cynthia did our engagement shoot, all of our wedding photography, and I will go to her for any and every photo shoot I want in the future. She is also extremely thoughtful of her clients, often posting special milestones and anniversaries of working with her clients and their special days on her instagram pages.... -

Cynthia has been (yes, post-wedding, continues to be) incredible. From the minute we met her at a vendor showcase, to our engagement photos, to our 3 day long Indian-American hybrid wedding, she took the most gorgeous photos. More importantly, she created space for us to feel connected to each other in the hectic days.
Cynthia took one look at us, stressed out, and said "can I get some photos of just you, outside?" She helped us recenter, focus on each other, and remember our love outside of the hustle and bustle of the wedding. She took the most INCREDIBLE details shots, and knows her way around an Indian wedding.
She made us laugh, she made us... -

Ayla Sent on 04/20/2023Absolutely Amazing
I'm a wedding coordinator and I have worked with so many vendors but Cynthia was high at the top of that list. She does an immense amount of travel for her clients which is a level of convenience and service that not a lot of people can claim to provide. But, when she got in the day before she attended the rehearsal so that she could scout the venue for shot locations and lighting. She was extremely professional, kind, easy to work with, and running the day felt seamless with her. Not to mention, the photos came out beautifully. On top of her professionalism and sheer talent, people love her because she is so overwhelmingly respectful and accepting. As... -

Brooke Sent on 01/11/2023Pure Perfection!
If we could summarize this in one sentence it would be "Book her now, this woman is a pure goddess behind the lens, and we promise you won't be disappointed!" Anyone can capture a photograph, but not everyone can capture the pure, raw emotion that is happening at that moment and make everyone feel that emotion days, weeks, and months later. Not everyone can recreate the story through photographs and be able to feel the same energy as if they were living the story again. As a same-sex couple, it can be very intimidating reaching out to vendors and just hoping they support your lifestyle and your marriage. Cynthia, in particular, was definitely one we didn't have to worry... -

Aspen Sent on 07/12/2022Amazing Photographer
Cynthia was an amazing photographer to work with for our wedding! One of the reasons we initially chose her was because her packages include full-day coverage. I loved not having to set hours and then be stressed that something may get missed. Cynthia answered all of our questions that came up quickly. My mom surprised by contacting Cynthia to set up a second shooter which she was able to arrange with short notice. On the day of our wedding, people weren't always ready on time, it rained for a couple of hours, and our large family was difficult to corral. However, Cynthia was a patient and calming force through it all. The pictures were AMAZING and my biggest problem... -

I'm so glad that we had the opportunity to meet Cynthia at the Beech Mountain Wedding Gala back in 2019. We entered and won a raffle for engagement photos with her and I never thought getting our pictures taken could be so much fun! Seriously, it sounds cheesy, but I'm not kidding.
And then shortly after the engagement photo shoot, Covid happened and we had to push our wedding back first a few months and then a full year. And Cynthia is amazing for working with us and being so understanding.
Finally, we had our wedding yesterday and it was a blast. I haven't seen the entire gallery quite yet, but I know we'll be ordering... -

Laura Sent on 05/17/2021Wonderful all around
Cynthia is very professional, she was so helpful throughout the process of planning and at the wedding. She sent me a booklet with information after I hired her answered all of the questions I had by email and text. My husband hates getting photos of him taken and she was still able to capture amazing photos. She sent me preview photos the day after the wedding and sent me the gallery within 4 days of the wedding! She also set up a photo booth for free, it was so much fun to look at the pictures after the wedding! -

Katie Sent on 04/28/2021Awesome Engagement Photoshoot Experience!!
Cynthia was incredible!!! She was able to step in for a last minute shoot, her response time to my email was super quick, she hiked with us to get some amazing shots, she was a lot of fun to work with, and we got the photos within two days!!! She’s amazing at what she does and my fiancé and I cannot say enough good things about our experience with her! -

How do I begin to describe Cynthia and the work she does? I feel this review would be longer than a college essay if I listed all the reasons why she is amazing. She knows how to read your face and make you laugh and get those real reactions. She makes sure your day is captured with the best moments. She was always there to get each beautiful moment and laughter, she went above and beyond for us. I will never hire another photographer besides Cynthia. There's no reason to look elsewhere, her work is a masterpiece. Every picture we have seen feels like the moment was captured perfectly and takes us back to our perfect night. We love Cynthia and will recommend her to everyone we can. -

Cynthia was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire experience! She was full of energy, passion and had us smiling and laughing the whole way through. When we got our pictures back (quicker than expected!) nothing could have prepared us for how absolutely stunning they all looked!!! We can't say enough good things about Cynthia! -

Allen Sent on 10/18/2019Cynthia was amazing!
Cynthia was highly professional and took the time to get to know the wedding party and more importantly our goals and style. The end result was outstanding! Our pictures turned out excellent and she captured so many great moments. The most impressive thing about all of this was that we didn't even know she was there most of the time. She has a great ability to capture intimate moments in a very stealthy way. I would highly recommend Cynthia! -

Rebecca Sent on 07/16/2019Warm, welcoming, and incredible photographer
Planning a wedding is equal parts stress and joy. One can easily get overwhelmed as the big day creeps up on you if you don’t have the right people by your side. Cynthia is one of those right people. From our first contact with her she was warm, welcoming, and ready to answer any questions no matter how off the wall they seemed. Throughout the entire process she was equal parts a consummate professional and reassuring friend. It was easy to relax in her presence. Nerves gave way to joy, and she was there, capturing the perfect moments of the entire event. She surrounds herself with people cut from the same cloth. I had the pleasure of having her... -

We had so much fun with Cynthia capturing just exactly how happy we all are! She is a wonderful person and her talent is pure. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to remember exactly how you felt as each photo was taken forever. Thank you Cynthia!! We will certainly see you in the future!

I cannot say enough GREAT things about Cynthia!! From the first request for information to having our wedding pictures delivered literally days after our wedding, Cynthia was an absolute dream to work with! She is friendly and sweet, very quick to respond to any and all questions, and super flexible with last minute requests or changes to plans. She has an uncanny ability to be super put-together and organized but at the same time always has an incredibly calming demeanor about her, which is everything you could ever want and more for the person who will be with you every step of the way on your wedding day! Her photos are absolutely beautiful - she understands light and uses... -
