Edmonton wedding specialist Cynthia Priest crafts timeless, romantic wedding and engagement photography—balancing beautiful posed portraits with candid in-between moments. Heirloom albums & wall art.
Hi — I’m Cynthia, an Edmonton-based wedding photographer who believes the best wedding photos are the ones you feel, not just see. I specialise in wedding and engagement photography, bringing a romantic, warm approach that blends thoughtful posed portraits with the honest, in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. My goal is simple: to never miss a beat — from the lifted veil at the altar to the quiet hugs between family members. Why choose me? I’m a hopeless romantic who treats every wedding as an heirloom in the making. That means I photograph with intention—creating images that will sit on your wall and in your hands for generations. I’ve photographed intimate pop-up weddings, small venue celebrations and larger Alberta weddings; my experience across venues in Edmonton and the surrounding region means I can guide your timeline and recommend portrait locations that match your style and light. My approach is relaxed, collaborative and professional. Before your wedding we talk through your story, timeline and priority shots so the day flows naturally. On the day I balance gentle direction with documentary instincts—prompting moments that feel real and stepping back to capture candid emotions. I’m calm under pressure, patient with children and focused on creating a comfortable atmosphere where couples can be themselves. Beyond the images, I help you turn photographs into lasting artwork. From heirloom albums to canvases, metallic wall art and framed prints, I guide clients through selecting and displaying pieces so your wedding story lives in your home. I’m also proud to photograph inclusive celebrations — same-sex and LGBT+ weddings are warmly welcomed. If you’re planning an engagement session, intimate elopement or a full wedding day in Edmonton or Alberta, I’d love to hear your story. I’m happy to travel and to collaborate with planners and vendors you love. Reach out and let’s create timeless, modern wedding photos you’ll treasure forever.
