My husband, Tim, and I LOVED working with Cinder and Co. and highly recommend their services. Cathy was amazing, responsive and extremely thoughtful in helping us plan all our photography needs for a City Hall Ceremony and a Wedding Gala Reception @ The Parker New York. Christian was warm, talented and captured THE MOMENT brilliantly. He knows the "ends and outs" of City Hall, which was part of the reason we went with Cinder and Co. He was able to snap photos of us and our wedding party inside City Hall and then took us to different locations around lower Manhattan while our wedding party waited on our number to be called. Totally a City Hall "wedding insider!" The tactic was much-appreciated and allowed us to maximize our time before the ceremony. Cinder and Co. also beautifully captured our Wedding Gala the following evening. It was the perfect mix of making sure we had the "right" photos (pictures of the cake, couple portraits, photos to set the scene) alongside all the incredible candid photos -- where the action really was taking place! Our wedding guests raved over the shots: Cinder and Co truly knows how to capture the passion, the excitement, the essence of the couple, their families, loved ones, friends and the overall atmosphere of the event. Everything was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. Bravo, Cinder and Co.! read more

Without a doubt, I would recommend Cinder and Co. for any of your professional photographic needs. I'm a recent graduate of the Class of 2018 at New York University whose major was Nursing. I needed new headshots for both LinkedIn/professional purposes but also for potential auditions, and they delivered, hands down. In fact, my current profile picture on Yelp is actually a product of their talents. Honestly, they work wonders. The final results are clean-cut, detailed, and photo-edited to every precise detail. Literally not a single hair was out of place in the final edits. They have their equipment insured, and they know exactly what they're doing when it comes to headshots/portraits. Moreover, they really have an eye for color. Cathy, a specialist in sleek, sexy looks, as well as an eye for making your outfit pop, and Christian, a true master of lighting, shadows, angles, and everything in terms of men's fashion, are together a flawless duo. I would, without any hesitation, reach out to them for any professional headshots/portraits in the future. Moreover, while I myself have yet to fall in love and propose to someone, I would also *highly* recommend them for weddings/surprise proposal photography. I have seen their work over the years, and it is nothing short of breathtaking. If anything, they have gotten better with time, and it shows. read more

Besides asking my then girlfriend, Lindsey to marry me, finding and hiring Cinder & Co. to photograph my surprise engagement at Literary Walk in Central Park was the best decision I've ever made. Proposing to the love of your life can be filled with lots of emotions but from my very first e-mail exchange with Cathy I knew I made the right choice on photographers. She was marvelous on so many levels. She was detail oriented, responded to questions in a timely manner, supportive, calming, and extremely flexible given the circumstances of my proposal. The day that I decided to propose it started to snow and I was in constant contact with both Cathy and our photographer Christian updating them along the way. I had never met Christian before the proposal date, but he was exceptional. He was at our location early, incredibly supportive, caring, energetic, made my fiancé and I feel comfortable, and even went ahead and cleared off half of a bench just in case I wanted to sit and placed a heart on the other half. Both myself and my fiancé were blown away with the end result. The photographs were gorgeous and our friends and family were in awe. I couldn't imagine using anyone else to capture such an important and magical day. read more

I recently worked with Cathy of Cinder and Co for a surprise proposal for my now fiance in NYC in Central Park. Cathy was so responsive when I initially reached out and answered all of my questions without any hesitation. She was very flexible with time and the prices of the services were definitely worth it and very reasonable! We discussed the perfect location and time within the park to make everything go perfectly. We communicated via email and by phone several times leading up to the day and Cathy did everything possible to make the day even more special for me. I worked directly with Lin and she was able to capture the moment that we were able to share with all of our family and friends. Additionally, we were able to get our final edits back way sooner than we expected. The edits were perfect and we couldn't be happier with the result. Lin and Cathy were so helpful, professional, and trustworthy throughout the entire process. I am more than happy with my experience with Lin, Cathy, and Cinder and Co. I will absolutely be using their services again in the future. I would highly recommend Cathy, Lin, and Cinder and Co. read more

Cinder and Co. photographed our engagement, wedding day, and our rehearsal dinner all in Brooklyn. They were a joy to work with and highly professional. We have memories to treasure for the rest of our lives because of their work. We hired them because of their ability to capture real moments - we weren't interested in cold posed photographs. We asked for candid shots that would capture the intimate feeling of the day. They delivered. I would without hesitation hire them for your next event. Their work speaks for it self in terms of quality, but an additional reason I would hire them would be for their kindness and ease of communication. Many guests at the wedding asked why they had never met "our friends Cathy and Christian?". It was such a gift to have such kind professionals there during the most important day our lives. Hire them! read more

My husband and I eloped at Borough Hall and hired Cinder & Co to document it for us. They were wonderful. Christian (who took our photos) recommended a good time to arrive at Borough Hall so that we wouldn't be waiting too long, and there was no one ahead of us. He met us there and started taking pictures immediately. We then went to Dumbo to shoot some additional shots, which turned out great. It was freezing and my dress had no sleeves, but Christian had already scouted the area so he didn't waste any time figuring out how to frame the shots and he kept us entertained the whole time with funny stories. The pictures turned out great and the turnaround was very fast. We have actually hired them again to shoot our reception party this summer and are looking forward to working with them again! read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Cinder and Co for our wedding! We loved how professional, kind and courteous Cathy was while working with me during the planning and administrative process. Christian, our photographer, was wonderful and such fun to work with. He kept us calm and laughing while capturing breath-taking photos of our special day. We were happy with our pictures and got great reviews on how spectacular our photos came out. Cathy and Christian make a great professional photography team and we'd definitely recommend them for your wedding! read more

Had an amazing experience working with Cinder & Co, they were very prompt with responding to my query and very professional when dealing with it. Even being located in the UK wasn't a problem for them. Having phone conversations and meticulously planning the photo shoot in New York to the minor detail. The day of the engagement the lovely Lin (the photographer) was emailing and texting me with regular updates of the under cover photoshoot, where she would be standing and ideas for the perfect shots. Overall an excellent experience and would highly recommend. read more

Christian of Cinder and Co shot our pop-up elopement downtown on March 7th, and we couldn't possibly recommend him enough! He made us both feel at ease around the camera and fit perfectly with our chilled personalities, it almost felt as though he was another guest at the wedding! We loved all the photos, they definitely captured the vibe of the day and how perfect and relaxed it was - regardless of the weather! We couldn't thank Cinder and Co enough and really hope to work with them again in the future! read more

I found Cathy and Christians website after searching through numerous photographers on google, hoping to find someone to take photos of my family and I on our trip to NY. I fell in love with the photos they'd put up in their online gallery. They worked with my budget and knew the perfect places in town for the aesthetic I was going for!Cathy and Christian made the experience very comfortable, my photos are something I'll frame and have forever as my family's first vacation. 100% recommend!!!! read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Cinder & Co. for our small outdoor ceremony in Central Park. Cathy was responsive and accommodating while we planned our event and figured out the details. Christian is a great photographer. He's got a great eye, knows where to find the best shots around the park, and was super friendly and relaxed. He even helped fix a dress malfunction on the spot -- an all around pro. They were easy to work with and our photos turned out beautifully. read more

They did an amazing job on our photos! My fiance hired Cinder & Co to secretly take pictures of the proposal and we are absolutely in LOVE with the finished product. After Christian (our photographer) took photos of the proposal, he came out of "hiding" and worked with us to take great shots all over Central Park. He was knowledgeable, professional and made us feel comfortable instantly. I highly recommend! Thanks again for making the day so special. read more

We used Cinder and Co. for our wedding, we just got the pictures back and they are absolutely fantastic. Cathy met us at the gallery venue and was laid back and extremely helpful.

Cathy did a fabulous job photographing my son's surprise marriage proposal at a NYC hotel private terrace. She was a joy to work with and she captured the moment beautifully.

No detail escapes the eye of this masterful photographer, Christian, whom we fortunately chose to document our daughter's wedding reception.
