ENGAGEMENTS

also LIVE PROPOSALS and ANNIVERSARY SESSIONS
... basically if you're a couple and you're in love, I'll shoot your photos

Let's celebrate that love of yours

I have come to believe that the most beautiful thing about life is its impermanence. Nothing lasts forever. This moment will not last and can never be repeated. We only travel down this road in one direction. LOVE is the only thing we leave behind us when we are gone. So if you're in love with someone, that is worth celebrating! Let's document that together.

for FRAMES, for WALLS, for MEMORIES

Your engagement photos are a priceless keepsake to remember this special season in your life when you are engaged and planning a wedding! Your engagement photos will also come in handy when the time comes to style your welcome table at your wedding, build a wedding website, and send out your save the dates. And in the years to come? You always have gorgeous photos to adorn your walls.

"Cecily is the absolute best. She photographed my proposal to my then-girlfriend, now fiancee! I wanted to propose at one location, but upon scouting it ahead of time, we discovered that it was completely overrun with other couples doing proposal and engagement shoots. There was no way I could pull off the surprise there! Cecily quickly swooped in with suggestions for several alternative, more discreet locations. She even went the extra mile and coordinated some perfect weather for the day of our shoot! 😄

"It honestly couldn't have gone better. On top of all the legwork Cecily put in before a single photo was taken, she also delivered an entire gallery of absolutely astounding photos, all edited and at full resolution. She sent us a few finished edits for family and social media the very same night of the proposal and had the rest of them sent to us before we knew it. She has an eye for romantic moments in close-ups, and I also appreciated the wide shots incorporating a broader view of the beautiful location we had worked so hard to narrow down! If you get the chance, hire Cecily. It's a no-brainer."

​My fiancee Aaron and I had such a great experience with Cecily. She did our engagement pictures and I couldn't be happier. She has a great energy. We had such a fun time taking the pictures, got them edited and back to us in 3 days. When I got the pictures, I was so happy with them that I cried. She's awesome and I highly recommend!

Cecily was amazing and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to shoot our surprise proposal! The pictures came out great and Cecily went above and beyond by driving by the proposal site in advance to help coordinate logistics and was flexible with timing last minute the day of. Highly recommend!!!   More reviews >>
