DOCUMENTING ALL OF

THE IN-BETWEENS OF

— your story —

Approaching your session with an open mind & adventurous heart, Ciara Young Photography is the “one-stop shop” for documenting all of your special once-in-a-lifetime moments; graduation, engagement, marriage, and growing your family. Our mission is to serve you through a thorough and personalized experience to generate a gallery that feels unique to you.  A motto that CYP admires is “connection over perfection”, and by embracing this, we are able to  authentically capture all of the in-between moments that are intricately laced within your story —documenting you as you are in this very moment.

Hey, I’m Ciara! - an elopement and lifestyle photographer, based in New Kent, Virginia. While you’re here, you may find that documenting couples’ moments is kind of my JAM. I love love…as cheesy as it is. I’ve always found joy in the little details because I believe that they bring meaning to your story and make it worth living. These are the things that we will want to remember, but often forget to hold onto. So, I made it my purpose to create an experience that’s not only fun and intimate for you and your partner, but one that also focuses on the imperfect touches that make you, you - letting your true emotion and dynamic flow through your gallery. If you like what you see, I’d love to connect and make some magic happen.

PORTRAITS

Whether its to document your engagement, graduation, growing family, or to help you boost your confidence with spicy photos - I am your girl! I love to document my clients in any phase of  life. You deserve to have this moment documented and tangible for years to come. 

WEDDINGS

Marrying the love of your life can take so many forms. Eloping in the mountains to having a Micro Wedding with your closest family and friends. I would love to help you live in the moment, but also document it in a way that will bring you all of the same butterflies and gushy feelings  in the future.

From start to finish we felt like we were in good hands being guided through the preparation and process of the photoshoot.

She made capturing the special moments of this new big chapter of our lives something I will NEVER forget! She helped set the mood with her kind words, soothing music, and even kept fixing my hair and outfit the whole time. Best photographer and photo shoot I’ve ever had!!!

    — Jessica | Couple Session

I really appreciated her flexibility and her checking out the spots before to figure out what would look best for the pictures. You can tell that she genuinely loves her job, and her work always reflects the upbeat mood that she sets when taking the pictures!(She also is a great hair fixer!)”

    — Shayla | Couple Session

  • “Ciara is THE go-to person for branding photos, she’s done an amazing job each time - I love receiving my pictures back from her & uploading them to my website and for marketing materials, she is always so considerate to the branding style & vibe I’m trying to go for & provides great ideas/poses! Highly recommend!”

    — Alex | Branding Session

  • "I highly recommend CYP! As a plus size girl I was so nervous that having my pictures taken would highlight things I wasn’t too fond of but it was actually the opposite. Ciara was beyond nice & professional and listened to my concerns and made me feel absolutely beautiful. The photos she took of my fiancé & I were amazing & we can’t wait to have her do our wedding photos."

    Jessica | Engagement Session

  • “I cannot say enough good things about this boudoir experience! I had so much fun and loved every moment of it. She is so professional and welcoming. From the beginning as we started our correspondence, she was always prompt in responding and checking in with you which I loved. When it came to our time to shoot, she shows you how to pose and gives you good direction so if you feel awkward about posing and what to do with your arms, don’t be because Ciara is with you all of the way. I love the attention to detail she has and she does multiple shots in the studio so you get all the best angles. She also utilizes the studio space wonderfully. My photos came out stunning. I’m so grateful -- thank you for making this an amazing experience. If you’re on the fence about boudoir or doing a photoshoot in general, Ciara Young Photography is the way to go.”
