Atlanta Wedding Photographer
Unscripted. Candid. Quirky.
I’m Cindy, an award-winning Atlanta wedding photographer specializing in documentary-style storytelling. My style is a little offbeat and a lot heartfelt — rooted in photojournalism and driven by genuine emotion. I document candid moments, real people, and the beautiful chaos that makes your wedding day uniquely yours.
documentary wedding photography
that’s delightfully fun
Your wedding shouldn’t feel like a photo shoot.
Instead of stiff poses or cookie-cutter shots, I focus on:
Real connections — laughter, tears, and joyful chaos
Tiny details — sparklers, hugs, messy dance floors
Relaxed portraits — fast, natural, and full of personality
This approach allows you to enjoy your celebration while I create authentic, visually stunning images of your day.
Thanks to Cindy, we can
look back upon and
re-live the hilarious, lovely, and beautiful moments of our wedding weekend with loved ones.
— Li ChenCindy was an absolute joy to work with. We were so excited to have a true documentary photographer
capture the essence of our wedding and the emotions of the day and wow did she deliver.

Atlanta Wedding Photographer With a Storyteller’s Eye
I love weddings …
… but not in a generic, fairy-tale kind of way. I love specific weddings, in all their individuality—the emotions, the excitement, the couples holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes, flower girls bickering with each other, guests hugging and reminiscing, sparklers burning, and friends and family tearing up before, during and after the ceremony.
I’m a newspaper photojournalist turned documentary wedding photographer
I’m also a queer artist, former professor, and once-upon-a-time chaplain, which probably tells you a lot about how I see people—and why your story matters to me.
If you're looking for a photographer who sees beyond the surface to document the uniqueness of your day, you’re in the right place.
