Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a photo & video partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY. We hired Celia for our wedding in Scotland and I’m not kidding the pictures look like something from a magazine or movie. From our first conversation to our last Celia was the one of the most helpful, kind, professional people I’ve ever worked with. If you don’t hire her you’re making a huge mistake. Celia, I have no words but so many words all at the same time. You have a gift and you are a gift. Thank you for capturing some of the most beautiful, emotional and vulnerable moments of our lives. I have never felt so beautiful! Sawyer said it himself, “that was the most incredible photographer I have ever met. Wow!” You truly made our day and our experience. We love yo...

What an experience. We are extremely thankful and happy to have worked with Celia this summer. As a couple with little experience taking professional photos together, we were so pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and natural she made the process feel. Working with Celia for both our engagement and wedding photos was genuinely fun and enjoyable! Her eye for capturing meaningful, in-between moments is truly special, and these are memories we will cherish forever—the laughter, the quiet moments, the love between us, and the beautiful moments shared with our friends and family. We are so grateful for the way she documented our day and helped us to tell our story so authentically. We look ...

Okay I would give Celia every star in the sky if I could. She did our photos this spring in summer and I am in completely in awe. It was our second photoshoot with Celia and she blew away all my expectations. She's so kind and gentle and made us feel so comfortable. My son never wants his photos taken and she somehow managed to get him to love the experience!!! I will cherish the photos AND the overall experience forever. We also forgot something on site and she ran all the way back to get it. Thank you Celia!!

Truly if I could give 100 stars out of 5, I would without hesitation! Celia is a gifted artist and wonderful person to get to know and work with. From the prior planning and the day of my proposal, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. And the photos just speak for itself! You really can feel the story and emotion though each photograph. Do not look any further and book her right away!

Celia is so gifted - we did a family photoshoot with my toddler in Scotland and she was just a joy to work with. She was kind and really encouraging during the shoot, putting us at ease right away. Sometimes taking photos with a toddler can be a bit overstimulating for everyone, but Celia knows just what to do and is so patient and fun. Her joyful energy is contagious and so not only did we get amazing photos, we had the best time with her. The photos she sent us were just incredible. These are images we will cherish for life.Celia was so creative and inspired by what was all around us that day - she is a rare artist.
