As your wedding day approaches, we will be available to help with anything and everything you need - vendor recommendations, timeline preparation, planning suggestions and more.

About 4 months prior to your wedding, a questionnaire will be sent to you. This questionnaire is filled with ALL of the information that we need to complete your finalized wedding day timeline!! The timeline we create together will allow you to have a stress free and relaxed wedding day!



Once we review your questionnaire, we will send you a draft timeline to review. We will set up either a Skype/Video, voice call or in person meeting to go over the timeline at length and go over your must-have shot list in length to be sure we aren't missing any important photos for your wedding day! We will answer any of your additional questions at this time too!

After our call, you will receive a finalized timeline to review. After going over the details together, you hit "We Approve" and we move forward with this timeline for your big day!
We highly encourage our couples to send this timeline to the wedding party and family members to ensure a smooth wedding day!
We will send this timeline out to any vendors that you noted in your questionnaire so we are all on the same page to make the day as stress free as possible for you! 

The Photos by Ciera team will be there to capture one of the BEST days of your lives!! From beginning to end, we ensure that your day is as stress-free, enjoyable and FUN as possible!!
We can't wait to be there to see your wedding day visions come to life and capture you marrying your soulmate! 

P.S. We'll bring the confetti to celebrate!

- KatelynN (June 2018 Bride)

Everyone always said that the “big day” would go by in a flash and all you have is your memory and your photographs to remind you of the best day ever. Ciera and Betsy did an astonishing job taking our photographs on our big day. The hardest part is choosing which pictures are our favorites because they all are amazing! From pre-ceremony to the reception they were phenomenal making us feel comfortable while capturing our special moments. Ciera also took our engagement photos last fall and they made my heart skip a beat. They have a true talent for capturing precious moments between couples and families. Without a doubt, Photos by Ciera is the way to go for your big day-trust me, you won’t regret it!!

- Nicole (May 2018 Bride)

Absolutely stunning and amazing are an understatement when it comes to Ciera and her team. If I could give her 100 stars, I would. From the moment you book her as your photography, she is totally devoted to you and your day. No little detail is ever forgotten from your engagement photos, to the ceremony, and all the little moments in between that you, yourself would never think needed to be captured. But let me tell you , those little moments are some of my favorite pictures! Not only is every moment captured, the pictures themselves are absolutely stunning! In my photo album, there is isn't one bad picture in the bunch. She truly has a gift for photography and I will be using her for every event that I would like photographed!

- Emily (October 2018 Bride)

Photo’s by Ciera absolutely exceeded every expectation in every way. We were so pleased with the professionalism, organization, and care that Ciera put into our special day. Ciera and Betsy made an effort to get to know everyone in the bridal party. They truly care about their clients and want the best for them. From bringing along Ciera’s mom to help with every little detail, to fixing hair and makeup, to helping me get into my dress, they went above and beyond so that everything went smoothly. You won’t regret having Ciera capture your big day. The photos come out absolutely breathtakingly beautiful! So much talent and care; you captured every moment perfectly. Thank you so much for making it fun... thank you for a lifetime of memories that we will look back on through your beautiful photos. We are so thankful!
