I was born and raised in New York City [reppin' queens!] and I have an obsession with boba tea, coffee, and my Scottish-fold kitty named KIWI. I love to eat, I love to travel, I love memes and gifs (hence how my love in motion came to be) and I love taking LOTS of photos- I am your perfect millennial.
Why did I become a Wedding Photographer? To me, photography is about this ability to be transported back to a moment. A moment shared between couples, friends, family, or even a moment in solidarity. It can be funny, it can be sweet, it can be hilariously embarrassing or straight up awesome. Whatever the moment is, having it captured with raw emotions allows that moment to be relived over and over again.

My wedding stop-motion (aka gifs) became a staple of my work in 2012. Growing up in New York City, there is no way to escape the busy-ness and constant movement of the city-so thus my "Love in Motion" gifs were born! Embracing the traffic, people, elements of the weather and/or props, these can become great assets to making fun little memories!
Engagement sessions are a great way to get some time in front of the camera before your actual wedding day! It's usually a really fun time! We would pick out a location to roam around and find interesting spaces to get cute and creative photographs at! I also personally love to add a cute cafe or food spots to add some "flavor" to our adventuring and photographing in NYC!

My husband and I had the best time working with Cynthia for our micro-wedding/elopement. We aren’t the most comfortable when it comes to getting our pictures taken, but she made us feel relaxed and at ease while also keeping our energy up throughout the whole session. The entire experience, from initial conversation of what we were looking for to the day itself, was stress free and a blast. We are so happy that we chose to work with Cynthia and couldn’t recommend her more!

I had been following Cynthia on Instagram for some time and really loved her work. I was very excited that we were able to book her even though it was at somewhat short notice. Cynthia was very responsive and thorough in answering all our questions. On the day of our wedding, she was very patient with all our guests and really made us comfortable during our session. She was a very sweet and friendly person to work with and we had a lot of fun during our session, we almost forgot how tired we were. We just got our photos back and are very pleased with the end result. If you do decide to book with

Our engagement photography session was supposed to happen last year but was delayed because of COVID-19. Cynthia was very understanding and accommodating about the whole situation and we were able to reschedule for this year. Although we were quite nervous at the beginning of the session, she made us feel right at ease with her jokes and conversation. The weather that day was also less than ideal but she maintained a very positive attitude and our photos still turned out absolutely gorgeous! It was wonderful working with Cynthia and we cannot recommend her enough!

Cynthia was hands-down our favorite vendor for our wedding! She was recommended by a friend after we had a hard time finding someone within our budget that also understood our style. Cynthia was the perfect fit starting from our introductory call, during the planning process, and throughout our long and hectic wedding day. She not only played the role of photographer but also coordinator (and good friend by the end of the day). We are so grateful that she, along with her second photographer Martin, brought their expertise to help move us along the schedule and keep us on time while never rushing

Cynthia is the best! She was super responsive and accommodating with the number of questions and changes we threw her way (yay for Covid weddings). My now-husband and I are typically very awkward when taking photos, but her cheerful personality and creative direction made it seem easy and natural for her to capture the perfect shot. Of course, the photos themselves came out absolutely stunning. If you’re looking for beautifully staged (and candid) photos, a responsible photographer, and an overall comfortable and fun experience, Cynthia brings it all :)

Cynthia & her entire team were a DREAM COME TRUE! I found her while scrolling through instagram & instantly my heart was set! I wanted a photographer who specialized in NYC / editorial-esque style --- she did not disappoint! I was SO excited to hire a photog who could absolutely capture not only the magic of a wedding, but the absolute BEAUTY , ENERGY, AMBIANCE of every detail of the day. i was not a typical bride by many measures, but Cynthia helped me to balance the "traditional wedding photo" expectation from my parents with the NYC GLAM / CITY STREET vibe that i wanted so desperately....WORTH

Cynthia was awesome!! She and her team are very professional, fun and most of all produce awesome photos!! We had Cynthia for our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out beautifully. Very artistic! She is also extremely well organized so it made sifting through our photos very easily. Day of the wedding she took the lead and guided us and our videographers. She is also very open to my ideas and incorporated everything we wanted to do!

Cynthia is an amazing photographer! We were thrilled to have her as our wedding photographer. She has a wonderfully artistic eye and documented so many special moments from our big day. She really captured the spirit of our wedding. Cynthia was very easy to work with. She is a true professional, and her fun and enthusiastic energy helped us relax in front of the camera. Cynthia was also very patient with our sometimes-demanding family members who wanted a lot of specific group photos. We're so happy that we chose Cynthia and would highly recommend her!

Cynthia is AMAZING. The photographs she takes are stunning and special, and are a truly beautiful way to remember such an important moment, but it's so much more than that. She has the uncanny ability to be absolutely everywhere at once and yet be completely invisible-- she captured every single moment, even the ones we didn't know were happening, and did so without drawing the focus to her or even letting people know they were being photographed, which led to some amazing candid shots. She's also the absolute SWEETEST and so so easy to work with. She's super friendly and so you feel really relaxed

Cynthia was the absolute best ever!!!!! My wedding day was a blast and she perfectly captured every moment. I'm so happy I get to relive that day by looking through her amazing photos. But beyond just her photography skills, she is so professional, very easygoing yet so organized and on top of everything, she knew how to help us relax in order to get the best photos out of us, and was all around an absolute pleasure to work with. Honestly, my whole wedding day experience was enhanced because she was a part of it. So happy to have worked with her!!!!!
