"Asking Ciara to capture the memories of our wedding day was the perfect decision. I was aware of her skill and eye for capturing those 'perfect moments' after a family holiday photo shoot and knew she was a true professional. However, since it was a small intimate wedding with under 25 guests, I was considering just asking guests to take photos. My now-husband convinced me having a photographer would take one thing off my mind so I wouldn't be worried if anyone got certain photos. I am SO thankful I listened!!!! Ciara reached out immediately to ask what our vision was and if there were certain moments I wanted to create. She asked all the things I hadn't even considered and was such a kind and caring professional. On the day of the wedding, she arrived early and did not stop for hours, but was never 'in the way'. She worked her way into the moments and her keen intuition had her at the right space at the right time, sometimes without us even realizing she was there until we saw the photos later! She was so natural and made us so comfortable, it allowed us all to just show up as ourselves instead of many poses and she captured all those tender beautiful moments perfectly. Not only of the bride and groom, but of the family and friends interacting and the joy everyone shared. For some of the photos of the couple, she had gone before and noticed all the perfect spaces in the area and how the sun and shadows played, and guided us to those. These are some of the most precious and have brought tears to my eyes. She not only captured the image, she caught the sweet, tender moments between us that I will now have forever. I cannot express adequately what a blessing Ciara was- and is!- and I recommend her highly. Everyone we have shown the photos to have been so impressed and ask who the photographer is! Ciara absolutely made me a believer in asking a professional to capture something so important- I will treasure these forever."
