    Perfect Engagement and Wedding Photos

    Cecilia photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding and was absolutely incredible for both! Communication prior to both events was excellent and she made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We brought our dogs to our engagement shoot and she was just as encouraging with them as she was with us! Cecilia helped us stay on track during our wedding and made sure that we got all the shots we wanted. We were a little unsure of what we wanted going into the whole wedding photography process and she provided guidance and offered excellent suggestions as she got to know. We cannot speak highly enough of Cecilia!

    The best day ever!!!

    Hiring Cece was the absolute best choice we could have made for our elopement! She went out of her way to make sure our day was everything we could have imagined and more. We traveled to Utah from Ohio to do our elopement, and she basically planned our whole trip for us. Any questions or concerns we had, she was there to help.
    Not only was Cece very helpful, she was also made us feel very comfortable so we were able to be ourselves.
    I am so in love with our photos and so thankful that she was there to perfect our special day. She is the BEST!!
    Thank you! ♥️

    Great communication

    We booked Cece for both our engagements and wedding day and she did amazing! My husband and I had never gotten our photos done professionally and she made us both feel so comfortable and was easy to talk to throughout. She was even great with (and SO patient) while photographing/bribing our dog to sit.
    Not only is she patient but her communication was much appreciated, she was always letting us know where she was at in the process of returning our photos and blew us away with the timeframe in which she returned our wedding photos and how gorgeous they all turned out!

    Peter! Thank you so much for writing a review. I had so much fun partying and celebrating with you all in Brighton this weekend. I love that spending time with all of your loved ones was so important to you and Martina. We got so many great photos and I cannot wait to send your full gallery (:

    She is amazing

    She was so great with everyone in the wedding party and so easy to plan with. Everybody at the wedding complimented me on how fun she was and she was up for all of me and my husband's ideas!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Lexi! Thank you so much for writing me a review. Your micro-wedding was an absolute dream to capture! Both you and Carter rocked all of the hiking to get amazing photos. I'm excited to finalize your gallery this weekend.

    Wonderful experience and photos!

    We loved using Cecilia for our wedding! She was super easy to work with and was very knowledgeable. She helped us look over our wedding schedule and gave us tips for things like cutting the cake and how to do it. She met with us beforehand to make sure she knew and understood what photos we wanted and made sure they all got taken throughout the night. She did a great job managing the large group of people (including a wide range of ages). She got the outdoor photos done quickly which was great because it was really cold outside. We loved the photos she gave us and she got them back to us really fast. The candid photos from wedding throughout the night were fantastic! Highly recommend her! We were beyond happy with out experience!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Rachel thanks so much for your sweet review. We really lucked out on the weather and it wasn't bitter cold even though it was in December (; I loved the rubber duck theme and you and Sean were grinning from ear to ear the entirety of the day.

    She's a miracle worker!!

    Cecilia is an absolute miracle worker. I surprised my fiancé my booking her to capture our engagement photos in Zion, where we got engaged in 2021. We (mainly me!) are a bit camera shy and definitely not used to having photos professionally taken so came into things a bit clueless. But Cecilia prepped us well in advance (she was even there for my many emails and texts about "what dress should I pick?!".. "what makeup foundation is the best?!") and walked us through each and every thing and made us feel super comfortable.. we even had FUN doing the shoot!! We just got some of our photos back, and they are seriously the most beautiful engagement photos I've ever seen (Pinterest worthy for sure!). You would think this camera-shy couple were pros!! Everything looks natural and elegant, and she captured it all in the most beautiful way. THANK YOU CECILIA!!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Kadie, I don't know where to begin but thank you for such an amazing review. I'm happy to hear I made the process easy for you and Chris. Thank you for trusting the process and for hiring me to capture this milestone. We got so many amazing shots and I can't wait to finalize the gallery for you two :D

    Amazing Photographer

    Couldn't say enough positive things about Cecilia! She was prompt, enthusiastic, and excellent at her job! I would absolutely recommend her family & friends.

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Nichole, Thank you for your review!! Your Zion wedding was truly magical. It was such an emotional ceremony and I love how relaxed the schedule was (: I hope to work together again if you're ever visiting the Utah area!

    Amazing experience

    I can’t even begin to describe how amazing Cecilia’s photos are.

    We worked with her twice (once for an engagement shoot & again for our wedding) and I can’t wait to do more work with her in the future!!

    I live in Chicago and was super scared not being able to meet with her more prior to my wedding, but her personality is so warm and bubbly and makes you feel comfortable right away!

    Both sets of photos are mind blowing my beautiful, my husband and I are not used to having photos taken and are awkward people (lol) but she somehow captured us as natural as possible and every photo highlights both of our best features!

    Also if your hesitant another huge plus was how she killed it on the dance floor for a solid minute and had my whole wedding cheering her on! (Just for a moment, she definitely is very professional but this just shows how fun she is too!)

    We don’t have all our photos yet, which is funny, I almost forgot we have more coming since I’m so happy with the ones we have already!

    We definitely will be flying back for anniversaries and definitely nwill be using her again!!!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    OMG KATIE!!! Thank you for such an amazing review. I had so much fun capturing both the engagement session and wedding day. All of the planning and details came together flawlessly. I'm super excited to finish these all up in a couple weeks. Slowly but surely making my way through my editing to do list ❤

    The best wedding photos ever!

    Cecilia photographed my wedding in September and was absolutely amazing. She captured my husbands and my love and the beauty of our venue so incredibly. I also told her one of the most important things to be for my wedding was the dancing at the reception, and she captured that so perfectly, I swear you can feel the happiness and joy emanating from those photos. Thank you Cecilia for the best photos I could’ve imagined!!!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Hannah, Thank you so much for taking the time to write me a review. I had an absolute blast capturing yours and Sam's day. The dance party was truly the party of the year and I had a blast capturing and dancing with you and your loved ones.

    Cecilia was the best! She was professional, organized, and fantastic to work with. She went out of her way many times for us on our day to make it so special! I would recommend her to ANYONE!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Rebekah, Thank you so much for leaving me a review. Your day was absolutely perfect and I enjoyed capturing every minute of it. Also thank you for feeding me tacos at the after party they were INCREDIBLE lol! I hope you and Drew have an amazing time in Iceland this upcoming week.

    Timeless Photos

    Cecilia is the BEST. Her work is amazing and so is she. She captured my husband and I's wedding day and did our engagement photos. We love every photo she has taken and we can not thank her enough for not only capturing our special day but also giving us the most precious wedding gift of pictures to remember our day. They are flawless and captivating, and everyone who sees them compliments how beautiful the colors are!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Bri,

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and Q. Your wedding day was filled with so many happy tears, laughs, and special memories. I especially enjoyed capturing the wild dance floor and fun atmosphere. Thanks again for having me!!

    Cecilia was everything we needed!

    We hired Cecilia for our engagement and wedding photos and couldn't be happier! From the very start, she was the perfect balance of professional organization and easygoing fun. In our first meeting, she detailed her photography style, gear, preparation and plans for everything from navigating tricky family dynamics in group pictures to her backups to prevent losing our photos. I had total peace of mind that we were in good, experienced hands, and that was definitely the case for photos both days. She also made our photos enjoyable, fun, comfortable, and lighthearted - it was easy to nail down our style and priorities and feel like ourselves.

    We LOVE our photos from Cecilia - you can't go wrong!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Micah, Thank you so much for hiring me to capture your beautiful Solitude wedding. I had an absolute ball capturing and celebrating you and Tanner with your closest friends and family. I'm super excited to finish up your final gallery!!

    Cecelia is amazing!

    Oh my gosh, Cecilia was incredible! Not only is she incredibly talented but she helped us so much on our wedding day. I literally cried when I saw my pictures because they are stunning. I was originally supposed to have a different photographer who ended up getting the dates wrong and I'm honestly so glad that happened because I couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Thank you thank you thank you for everything!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Aw Paige, you are so very welcome!! Thank YOU so much for the sweet and thoughtful review. I absolutely loved capturing your beautiful wedding day. In all of my years of shooting I have never seen such a killer dance party (;

    Best photographer in Utah!!

    The absolute biggest blessing for our wedding was stumbling upon Cecilia on the knot last year. We are from out of state and we fell in love with her from the moment we had our first FaceTime going over all the details for our wedding. She knew all the right questions to ask to make sure everything turned out just how we imagined for our engagement session and our wedding. She is professional, kind, organized, and made everything so much fun!! When it came down to the wedding day she made sure everything was taken care of and went above and beyond what a photographer duties and roles should be. Our wedding wouldn’t of been as smooth as it was if it wasn’t for her. I can’t thank her enough for her literally making our day the best day ever!!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Nicole, Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day to leave me a review. I'm so happy I was able to make your day run more smoothly and help out in anyway that I could. I will never forget your magical first look, it was truly amazing to capture. I also will never forget the sun in poor Brad's eyes during the ceremony and you giggling throughout it lol it was so memorable (; I hope we get to work together again in the future if you are ever in town.

    Never felt so photogenic before!

    Wow Cecilia was so easy and fun to work with! She made everything feel really relaxing and natural & I’ve never felt so photogenic before (my guests felt the same!)
    Her style is so unique, which really completed the mood we were trying to set.

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Brittany, thank you so much for leaving me a review. I'm happy to hear that I made the photography process easier for you and Brad. I absolutely loved everything about your special day and truly felt like part of the family by the end of it.

    Gorgeous photos, extremely efficient and fun energy!

    Cecilia was the best photographer we could have hoped for! Our photos are ABSOLUTELY STUNNING and she captured the exact look and feel we were wanting! Communicating with her prior to the wedding was super easy and she gave us a form to list all of the different photos we wanted. On the day of the wedding she was very punctual and she brought with her a speaker to play different songs we requested to keep the energy up! Everyone in my bridal party and family LOVED working with her because of how kind, energetic, and efficient she was! I absolutely recommend hiring her for your wedding, she is truly the best of the best!!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Olivia!! I don't know how I'm just seeing this review but thank you so much for taking the time to leave one. Yours and Tim's wedding was one for the books. I still can't get over your incredible ceremony. Thank you so much for trusting me with all of the memories.

    Beyond amazing!!

    We cannot say enough good things about Cecilia! We flew from Florida to Utah to elope/micro wedding at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Having never been there ourselves, having Cecilia was a blessing! She guided us on where to park, downloaded and played our music for our first dance, helped coordinate the guests, literally helped with everything! She was beyond amazing and I am so so thankful we found her! We received our sneak peeks so quickly and they are MAGICAL. To have the day captured in such a beautiful way, and have these memories forever means so much to us. Thank you so much Cecilia!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Jordan, thank you so much for leaving a review (: I absolutely loved working with you on your destination elopement. I'm happy I was able to help out with the music and your timeline. PS Your blush pink dress and Steven's maroon suit were such an amazing combo to such a fun location!

    Great energy, amazing attention to detail, and gorgeous photos

    Cece is the kind of photographer who you can trust to OWN what she does. She is not a background "just pretend I'm not here!" photographer. She becomes part of the wedding, she sets up great shots, she makes friends with your guests, she captures awesome moments, and you never have to worry about giving her direction. She's amazing with kids, gets great dancing photos, and somehow got the most GORGEOUS shot of me spinning in my dress that I'm obsessed with. She takes initiative and captures beautiful shots while bringing such a fun and positive energy to your special day!! We had an issue with people running late and had to sit around for a while, and she jumped in and used the time to take amazing unique photos that I didn't even ask for - she's a treasure!!

    Cecilia Harvard Photography's reply:

    Janae thank you for leaving a review. It means so much to me. I loved working with you and your family and documenting your beautiful day.

    The Best Decision!

    I am so incredibly happy that we chose to have Cecilia capture our day! Not only are her photos so beautiful (my friends and family have been obsessed), but her personality was so warm and open that it really helped us all feel super comfortable when taking our photos! She was so supportive of me (bride) when planning even though I was planning my wedding from across the country and I was so thankful for all of her help! On the day itself she had great ideas of shots that were fun and gorgeous and really captured the emotion of the day! She seemed so genuinely happy to be there and just made my day even better while capturing it beautifully. We all loved her

    Such a dream!

    It was such a pleasure working with Cecelia! She was so professional, punctual, responsible, responsive — and of course, an incredible photographer. She really worked with us to customize our photography experience so that all of the most important moments were captured. In the chaos of a day with many bumps and surprises, she was flexible and understanding. Oh, and did I mention she was 8 months pregnant? She was just incredible. I can’t recommend her enough and I am so happy we had the chance to work with her and now have the beautiful photos she captured from our big day. Everyone who sees our photos just gushes — and deservedly so. We highly recommend Cecelia!

    Amazing!!!!

    Cecilia was exceedingly professional and a delight to work with. With a time crunch, she went above and beyond to meet with us and discuss all of our needs for the day. Cecilia's experience was reflected in the intentionality of her planning and questions to prepare for our day. On the day she helped us have fun, made us comfortable, and made us look great. The photos captured all of the moments and people we wanted. Her services are very reasonably priced given the quality of everything she offers. We couldn’t be happier!

    Mckenna I don't know how I missed your review! Thank you so much for taking the time to write one. I can't believe we are a few weeks away from your one year anniversary. I had a ball celebrating yours and Paul's gorgeous day.

    Cec is simply excellent

    From beginning to end, Cec gave us a truly magical experience. She is so personable and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process yet was also extremely detail oriented. A rare combination. She is someone you can trust to make your day come alive and will go the extra mile to make you and your family comfortable and happy. Not to mention the end result—her photos are absolutely flawless!!
