it's because vintage tells a story.

i can picture the walls that once housed my favorite old floral painting or the people who danced in their living room to the fleetwood mac vinyl that i play on repeat, albeit slightly scratched. i wanted to take that passion for storytelling and fuel it into something that could ignite others as well…

and if there’s one thing that all great stories have in common, it’s love.

we experience many great loves in our lives and your story doesn’t just begin on your wedding day, nor is this where it ends.. but it is the start of a beautiful new chapter and it should be unforgettable. 20, 50, 100 years from now, your photos will fall in the hands of another generation and i want them to be able to feel who you were. so leave behind the expectations of what your photos “should be”, show up with an open heart and let’s create something meaningful together.

i am obsessed with all things vintage, and it wasn't until recently that i understood why.

testimonials

“My husband, our furry baby, and I eagerly awaited Cici, a photographer from Minnesota whom I found on Instagram, to capture our wedding reception...and let me tell you, Cici was a great find indeed!
Her attention to detail and artistic vision resulted in some of the most stunning photos I have ever seen. I will cherish them for a lifetime, especially the ones that include my beloved fur baby. But what truly sets Cici apart is her infectious personality and her ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera.
Cici is one of the coolest people I have ever met, and working with her was an absolute joy. We cannot wait to work with her again and see what magic she will create next! Thank you so much, Cici, for being a part of our celebration!”

“christy photographed my wedding in september and she was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. very quick to answer e-mails and questions. very organized and great at directing shots. her photography style is STUNNING and i am SO grateful to have had her be the one to capture all of the sweet moments throughout the day. if i could rate higher than five stars i would!!”

“i cannot imagine having anyone else capture our wedding as perfectly as cici did. she was the lowest stress vendor for us through our entire wedding process. on the day of our wedding she oscillated between being a star director of staged shots to us not even knowing she was there while she captured candids. the photos themselves are magic- cici managed to deliver pictures that showed the joy and love of our guests surrounding us, while in the same album deliver us incredibly touching and intimate pictures that made us feel like we were the only two people in the world." 10/10”- phoebe + neal

“amid the challenges of the covid era, cici emerged as a beacon of creativity and flexibility in the realm of photography. initially, our search for a photographer was met with stringent rules from others, but cici proved to be a refreshing exception. her patience, accommodation, and flexibility were unparalleled, effortlessly weaving a tapestry of moments we hadn’t even noticed. her photography exudes a timeless, cinematic quality reminiscent of classic love stories, captivating and resonating with an old-world charm. noteworthy is the diversity showcased in her portfolio, capturing the essence of timeless love, and her skillful composition of a picture with my husband and me resembled a captivating advertisement worthy of gracing the exterior of david’s bridal. thank you so much.”

“christy is truly one of a kind. She photographed my engagement session a few years back and from then on, i knew i was going to use her for the years to come. she recently took our family photos and they were beyond my wildest dreams. christy made us feel at ease throughout the session with our baby while beautifully capturing the chaotic season we are in. each image is truly a work of art; creating timeless memories that i will cherish forever. in addition to our photos, she captured a super 8 film of our session. the video perfectly encapsulated the emotions and authenticity of our session. i wholeheartedly recommend christy’s services and will continue to use her again and again for the years to come!”
