MEET CYNTHIA CHUNG, NYC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m born and raised in New York City (representing Queens!) and I have a slight obsession with bubble tea and coffee. Some of my favorite things include surviving life with a young child, traveling, eating very thin slices of NYC pizza, and being a part-time food influencer. For over 12 years, I’ve had the honor of photographing weddings throughout New York City, from intimate NYC City Hall weddings and Central Park elopements to full wedding celebrations at some of the city’s most iconic venues.

I love being a wedding photographer because I get a front-row seat to one of the best days of someone’s life — the happy tears, the belly laughs, the nerves, the champagne toasts, the wild dance floor moments, and all the little in-between memories that happen when nobody thinks they’re being photographed. Maybe it’s living in New York, but I’ve always loved the beauty in things that aren’t perfectly curated. The real stuff. The messy, emotional, hilarious moments that make a day feel uniquely yours. My approach to NYC wedding photography is all about capturing those authentic moments in a way that feels natural, timeless, and true to each couple. Years from now, I want my couples to look back at their photos and be transported right back — to the excitement, the people, the energy, and the overwhelming feeling of “we actually did it.” Getting to preserve those memories through photography is the best part of my job.
