"Wonderful photos of our special day"
Liz D.
Ciprian did our wedding day photos as well as an engagement photo session. My husband and I are not naturals in front of the camera, but Ciprian made the engagement session very fun and relaxing. He captured our personalities and hobbies in the photos as well as an extremely gorgeous backdrop — and the photos turned out better than expected.
On the wedding day, through all the nerves and emotions, Ciprian guided us through an emotional first look, then a bunch of fun photos with the wedding party and extended family. The REALLY special part was the sunset and dusk photography — just the two of us. We used light and shadow and movement to capture our venue and the night so well. Overall, we feel very lucky to have chosen a photographer who not only hits all the standard shots but also has an artistic vision that he uses to elevate our photos.
"Amazing photos, amazing photographer!"
Olivia
It's hard to find a photographer who has a special eye for photos and is also super capable of handling large wedding groups. Our photos are phenomenal and he captured so many amazing candid shots.
"Excellent!"
Kseniya
We are very happy to have Ciprian as photographer for our wedding day. He gave us unforgettable moments in the best location in such a short time. Perfect work! When we sent the pictures to our families in Ukraine, everyone loved them — said they were very professional and beautiful photos. Thank you!
"Highly skilled and recommended photographer"
Julia
Ciprian was amazing to work with. We had some unexpected changes on the day of the wedding that were out of our control. He was flexible and accommodating, and was able to go with the flow. He got us so many amazing photos and really captured the special moments. We can't even pick our top few favorites. He is a wonderful photo director — a skill that not every photographer has. He wanted to make sure we got all the photos that we wanted. We definitely recommend hiring him for your wedding.
"Could not have had a better photographer"
Kimberly
Ciprian captured so many tender moments that will forever remind me of the joy and happiness that was shared on my wedding day. I cannot imagine what the day would have been like without him.
"Absolutely Stunning Work"
Jamie
Ciprian's work is absolutely stunning. We used him for our engagement photos and wedding, and we're in awe of the photos. We could not recommend him more highly. The colors pop but are natural, and the lines are crisp — exactly what we were looking for. On top of great photography, he basically set out our entire timeline for us when we had no clue what we were doing. We told him all we knew was that we wanted sunset photos, and in March he pulled out his phone, looked up the sunset in October, and then explained how it would work in Tahoe with the mountains — and created our entire timeline, including when we should start hair.
"Stunning Photos"
Danielle
Thank you so much for capturing our wedding for ever. Your photos mean more to us than we can express. They are beautiful, stunning and amazing — yet honest, real and very "us." Between the wedding and engagement photos we could not have asked for more. You captured us perfectly, and helped us feel at home in front of the camera. We would recommend Ciprian to anyone looking for a Tahoe photographer and hope to work with him again.
"Great experience!"
Rachel
Ciprian did an amazing job at our wedding. He was very professional, efficient, and talented. I was impressed by how quickly he captured the bridal party and family photos after the ceremony. We were able to finish up earlier than expected without sacrificing quality, so my fiancé and I still had a little time to mingle with guests before the reception. You know someone is a professional when you hardly notice them at the wedding, yet they captured shots from so many angles. I would highly recommend Ciprian Photography for weddings and events.
"Timeless Photography"
Liane McCombs — Liane McCombs Wedding and Event Planning
Ciprian is always at the top of our list when referring our clients to a quality photographer. His style is timeless and provides our clients with the most amazing images — ones that they will cherish for a lifetime.
"Amazing Photographer!"
Casey
We hired Ciprian for our wedding at the Hyatt in Incline Village and he was amazing! We had a little bit of rain but he handled everything better than expected and we are obsessed with our photos. He's super professional, timely, and knowledgeable. We loved the poses he put us in and our photos don't look like everyone else's. We also received our photos within weeks of the wedding. Couldn't recommend him more!
"South Lake Wedding"
Jeff
Ciprian shot our wedding a few weeks back and was great to work with before and during the wedding. We are extremely happy with our pictures. I would absolutely recommend him.
"Could not have asked for a better photographer"
Kathleen
We could not have asked for a more amazing wedding photographer to capture such an important day. Ciprian is professional, personable, and talented. He captured the Lake Tahoe scenery so beautifully in our pictures while somehow still making us the focus of the pictures. You can tell how experienced he is, and he knew of the best location to have our photos taken before the ceremony. We were a little concerned about not having a second wedding photographer but had the utmost confidence in Ciprian when he assured us that we didn't need one — well, he was 100% right.
"Like working with a friend!"
Lindsey
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer. From the moment I contacted him, he responded immediately and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. He took us to the most surreal location and quality of the photos is absolutely incredible and pricing is well within reason for what you receive. From the moment he walked into the room, it was like meeting an old friend — he made my new husband and my family feel completely at ease and the pictures show genuine smiles and laughter. Thank you Ciprian for documenting our day!
"Ciprian is Amazing!"
Tiffany
Ciprian was recommended to us from one of our family members as he had photographed their wedding. My husband and I are not the most photogenic, nor are we very natural in photos, and he helped us feel so comfortable. He had our photos available for viewing within 24–36 hours — yes, 1.5 days it was ready! He is so quick with responding to all emails and ensured to answer all of our questions. He is amazing and worked our wedding from 8am to 9pm and caught the best moments of our day. Trust me, go with Ciprian!
"Ciprian is Fantastic — Highly Recommend!"
Jenna
Ciprian photographed our engagement photos and our wedding, and was a total dream. He was super responsive, well-priced, and took great photos! He even learned everyone's name in the wedding party to put everyone at ease and get them in position. Best of all, he turned around several dozen photos less than 24 hours after our wedding wrapped so that we could share the pro shots right away. Would highly recommend working with Ciprian!
"Incredible to work with"
Amy Stewart
We had a fantastic experience working with Ciprian! He was incredibly easy to work with and communicated clearly throughout the entire process. He took us to the most surreal location with a breathtaking background — our friends and family were convinced it was a green screen because it looked that stunning. Ciprian did an excellent job positioning our group, which included five adults of varying heights and a two-year-old. We're so happy with how the photos turned out and truly appreciate his eye for detail and composition. Highly recommend Ciprian to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful photographer.
"Spectacular — treasured forever"
Monica Hanson
Ciprian was incredible and we wouldn't want any other photographer capturing our special day. He was very communicative during the entire process and was so great with all of our wedding party — even our nieces and nephews. The pictures are spectacular and will be treasured by our family forever. Highly recommend!
"Professional and amazing"
Blue Soul Woodworks
Ciprian was a pleasure to work with. He's truly a professional and captured some amazing photos. Glad we chose him for our wedding ceremony. 10/10, would recommend to anyone in the Tahoe/Reno area!
