I’m Cindy
I’m a wedding photojournalist
(aka documentary
wedding photographer)
As an Atlanta documentary wedding photographer, I focus on real moments rather than staged ones. By working quietly and unobtrusively, I capture the authentic emotions and interactions that tell the true story of your wedding day.
I have photographed more than 100 weddings, a biker funeral, Ted Bundy, a train derailment and the dedication of a screened-in porch.
I have documented weddings large and small, Hindu and Pagan, indoors and out, Christian and Muslim, in backyards and in churches. The most exotic wedding I have photographed took place in Mexico and was officiated by a Mayan shaman.
You won’t find many wedding photographers with the education, experience and caring personality that I have … a sense of humor and humility, too.
When I'm not photographing weddings, portraits or corporate events, I work on personal photo projects, hike at Stone Mountain, work for racial justice and welcome refugees to our community.
My pronouns are she, her and hers.

I’m also …
an adventurous traveler, an all-round nerd, a slow hiker, a dog-lover, a hospice and Alzheimer’s volunteer.
A few of my favorite tv shows are Hacks, One Mississippi, Offspring, Atypical, Resident Alien, Top Chef, Criminal Minds, Deadloch, Goliath.
I have lived in 21 cities spread across five states:
| Georgia | Florida | Vermont | Indiana | Mississippi |

Sharing with the next generation
Over the past couple of years I’ve brought on a protégé — someone I can share my skillset with and who can help shoulder some of the gear (literally and figuratively). I’ve been lucky enough to find Tyrae, a young man who’s talented, eager to learn, and genuinely tech-savvy.
I’ve benefited from a lot of privilege and opportunity over the course of my career, and as I get closer to retirement, it feels important to pass some of that forward. Working with Tyrae has been a reminder that experience and youth don’t have to compete — they can complement each other. I get to share what I’ve learned, he brings fresh perspective and energy, and in the process we both keep growing.
