They look so amazing I almost can't believe they are me and my home. It's like she made everything look better than I ever thought possible! I'm telling all my friends if they want professional photos done then Cindy Irving is the only way to go.

She does a great job with the photographs but also making clients feel comfortable knowing that it is not a natural thing for those of us who are generally uncomfortable with our picture being taken. Her rates are VERY reasonable. She does a combination of oufits/jewelry, hair in front/to the side, indoors/outdoors. I haven't received the finished product yet but even the proofs came out nice! Tips I learned from getting my photograph taken: yes to getting my hair done and makeup professionally done. If you have long hair, wear some photos of your hair framing your face and keep it simple with the clothing - solid color and textures don't always translate. Also, keep jackets buttoned up as they can gape in an unflattering manner if you are a female with a chest. These tips have nothing to do with Maura's skill at taking photographs (she is, indeed, very skilled) but more to do with you doing your part to ensure a good end result. She is renowned for her editing abilities so I can't wait to get the final photographs but the unedited ones were really good and I am as unphotogenic as they come. If I ever need to take a professional photograph in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Maura. She was very pleasant to work with and talented at her craft. Her rates were very reasonable ($225 for over an hr photo shoot and 5 edited photogpraphs)!

f you're looking for a supportive, positive photographer on your wedding day, I strongly advise…read morelooking elsewhere. My experience with Jennifer Neves was the one significant source of stress in an otherwise perfect celebration. As a calm, organized person, I took every effort to plan thoroughly and communicate clearly. Unfortunately, Jennifer's negativity turned this into an unnecessarily stressful experience. Leading up to the wedding, Jennifer consistently expressed doubts about our timeline and criticized my plans in ways that felt discouraging. During our pre-wedding call, I provided a well-organized list of requested shots--simple family photos and individual shots with my bridesmaids. Despite my reassurances that we were a straightforward group, she insisted we wouldn't have time, remarking that "we're only as quick as the slowest link." She also commented that attending cocktail hour would be "unrealistic" due to my photo requests, despite my flexibility about missing it if necessary. Despite repeated assurances that my bridal party was prompt and prepared, she continued to doubt our plans, even discussing with my wedding planner how "unrealistic" my expectations were. Instead of being helpful, her approach added unnecessary stress, making me feel that she was setting us up to fail rather than offering solutions. Jennifer also fixated on Newport traffic, frequently reminding us how "horrible" it would be on the Fourth of July. This only added unnecessary stress over an aspect I had no control over. On the day itself, traffic was smooth, and she arrived nearly an hour early. However, instead of making use of the extra time calmly, she immediately started questioning whether everything was ready and seemed irritated that the flowers weren't set up--all despite her arriving ahead of schedule. Her negative energy was noticeable, creating tension for my bridal party, to the point that my matron of honor had to pull her aside and ask her to be more positive. Ironically, everything Jennifer had stressed about went smoothly. We finished hair and makeup early, had plenty of time to capture all the requested photos, and wrapped up over an hour ahead of schedule. She even acknowledged, "I typically don't believe most brides when they say they're organized, but I was wrong." While somewhat gratifying, this did little to erase the anxiety and tension she had created leading up to the wedding. After the ceremony, we even made it to cocktail hour--another point she had doubted. In hindsight, I deeply regret how much stress her pessimism added to what should have been a joyful experience. After the wedding, Jennifer's dismissive attitude continued. Upon receiving the photos, I was heartbroken to find that she hadn't captured the individual photos with my mother that I had requested and emphasized as being very important. Instead, there were plenty of individual shots with other family members, but only two with my mother. As a bride managing countless details, I trusted that my photographer would prioritize the key shots I had specified. When I reached out to ask if additional photos were available or edits could be made, Jennifer was unapologetic, blaming the sunlight and putting responsibility back on us. When I asked if any retouching was possible, her response was curt and unhelpful. If I could change one thing about my wedding, it would be choosing a photographer who could bring positivity, professionalism, and flexibility. Jennifer added more stress than any vendor should. If you want someone who will enhance your wedding day and make it feel special, I recommend looking elsewhere.

And you even incorporated our first "child", Beary the teddy bear into the mix perfectly. We have photos from our shoot displayed prominently in our living room, the baby's room, and in an album that we know our daughter will love to look at for years to come.
