'We had the absolute pleasure of having Celia photograph my in-laws’ wedding at Danseys Pass, and we are honestly still blown away by the experience and the photos.

From the moment we met her before the wedding we knew she was going to be perfect. she arrived morning of the wedding with heaps of informative coms prior, Celia brought such a calm, warm, and professional energy that immediately put everyone at ease knowing the photos were handled exactly what you hope for on such an emotional day.

The setting at Danseys Pass was already breathtaking, but Celia somehow made it look even more magical through her lens. She captured every moment so beautifully—from the smallest details to the biggest emotions. The candid shots, the heartfelt exchanges, the laughter, the happy tears—every single image tells a story.

One of the things that really stood out was how naturally she connected with everyone, especially the older family members who don’t really do photos or like being apart of photos. Celia blended in so seamlessly that it never felt like we were being "photographed"—she just became a part of the day. And yet, the moments she managed to capture were pure perfection'.
