Teri is absolutely amazing; we had a beautiful wedding this past weekend and every moment was perfect. She was there for each and every thing we needed- and we cannot wait to see our photos!!

Let me tell you a little about my amazing experience with this phenomenal woman! As I was excited to be planning our wedding, I was thinking about what I could offer my sweetheart as a wedding gift that would be memorable, special and sexy! I had considered boudoir photography and Teri was recommended to me from my dear friend and fellow photographer as having a way with helping women find their Fierce! As a full figured woman, I have struggled with judging myself. I knew that my soon-to-be husband found me sexy, so I continued to explore boudoir photography as a gift.

My first call to Teri was to ask about whether or not my body could be attractive in sexy lingerie. She quickly informed me that capturing curves on a voluptuous woman is easy and further educated me on the sexiness that is within. She used this term "fierce" repeatedly, encouraging me to focus on feeling my power within and capitalizing on it. While I was considering these photographs as a gift to my husband, I had no idea how powerful it was going to be for me!

So... I took a risk and scheduled a session! Teri was able to send me in the direction of where to shop to find suitable attire that would be sexy and supportive and I quickly became incredibly excited for my turn! My whole experience was amazing! I felt beautiful, sexy, empowered... FIERCE! Teri was wonderful with providing direction on poses, offering constant compliments and support, while continuing to encourage me to experience my own power and own it!

My husband loved the gift! He sees the sexy woman he fell in love with. However, the true gift was to myself, for when I look at my images, I am reminded of how FIERCE I really am! More...

I do not know where to start to express how truly amazing Teri and her team are! My (now) husband and I live in Zurich, Switzerland and we started the planning process with Teri over Skype over a year before our big day. Every step of the way she was there to guide us, and I am so happy to say that we became great friends in the process. She truly cares about her clients, she made me feel so special and completely stress free for our wedding day. Her and Jen were so much fun, they were with us the entire day, capturing every single little moment. Now that I've seen our pictures, everything I thought about them was magnified tenfold! Teri and her team ARE AMAZINGLY TALENTED! We are so in love with our photos and cannot believe how much of the day she captured. If you are lucky enough to be able to have her for any of your special occasions, there should not be an ounce of question or doubt. It will be the best decision you could make! Thank you Teri for all that you did for us! xoxo More...

Not only is Teri an amazing photographer, but she is also great at keeping you calm and on schedule. On top of that, she's prepared for anything. While getting ready, Teri fixed the hook on a bridesmaid's dresses (while my cousin was still in the dress). She gave me double stick tape when the straps of my dress were falling down and bustled my dress in record time. Because she was on top of everything, we were able to relax and it shows in our photos. We love our photos so much. Every bride needs Teri! More...

After years of recommending Teri to my brides at Heart to Heart Bridal and seeing their lovely photos and hearing about their wonderful experiences I knew when I got married last year that Teri was the only photographer I needed to meet with! Not only is her work beautiful but she will also be there by your side all day and keeps the day moving along just as planned. I also had the opportunity to watch her work at a friends wedding last year where the day did not go as planned (it was horribly rainy and a few other hiccups...) but it was Teri who was there to keep the bride calm and work through those issues with her. And even though it was the rainiest day they still ended up with absolutely gorgeous and fun photos! Check out Ciao Bella Studios for your wedding, you won't be disappointed!! More...

Having already had first-hand experience with Teri's brilliant photography, I didn't think twice when it came time to select a photographer for my wedding. My husband and I planned an intimate wedding and reception with a sunset ceremony in the Finger Lakes, and Teri was the only one I would trust to capture the beauty of the setting, and more importantly the emotions and joy of every moment. I truly could not have been happier with the results - I still tear up every time I look at my wedding photos!
Not only did she do a spectacular job with the photos, but she was by my side whenever I needed her, helping me stay calm and keeping me smiling, and making sure everything ran smoothly. She seamlessly segued from photographer to coordinator and back to keep things moving according to plan. She is an extraordinary artist with the camera, and exactly the person you want with you on your big day! More...

Teri is more than a photographer; she handles the entire day and fills in wherever needed. She shot my boudoir session, as well as our engagement session and wedding day. During our initial consult, we immediately noticed her attention to detail and her genuine care for her clients. We instantly connected with her and knew she was the perfect photographer for us.

No matter the situation, Teri is there to save the day and make it all happen. For our engagement session, we wanted to shoot on a friend’s sailboat while sailing in Canandaigua Lake. This was something Teri has never done before, but she was 100% on board. The shots turned out incredible and we are thrilled to have had that experience. On our wedding day, it was an atypically cold and wet spring day. Teri was prepared with umbrellas and made our first look happen outside as we wanted. She also kept track of the weather to pull us outside later in the evening when it cleared up to capture more outdoor shots.

Any future photography needs we may have, Teri will be the first and only person we will call. More...

Where to being with this remarkable duo? We knew from the moment that we met Teri and Jen that they were the perfect pair to photograph our special day! Teri takes the time to build relationships with each of her clients and is incredibly comprehensive throughout the planning process.

Teri was wonderful from day one of meeting over to FaceTime, to sending us a message the night before the wedding to calm us, to putting up with my puppy peeing, pooping, and chasing squirrels during pictures, to documenting every aspect and angle of our special day. Teri put up with crazy family members and helped us sneak away and retreat to have private moments during our wedding festivities. I can’t count the number of times Teri “saved” us during the evening! Teri took the time to even give us a little teaser of our photos only 2 days later to give us something to look forward to! I wholeheartedly recommend Teri Fiske and Ciao Bella Studios to anyone looking to have those perfect special moments captured! More...

Teri was absolutely wonderful! I could not recommend her more. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and caught every special moment. She provided a massive amount of photographs to choose from and the only hard part was not buying all of them. I just love her and the amazing results she provided. More...

My husband and I cannot sing Terri's praises enough. She made me feel so at ease through the whole process and I didn't even feel like I was being photographed. And her pictures...they are flawless. I have received so many compliments on them. Friends and family that are already married have told me they wish they could go back and use Ciao Bella. On top of all this, Terri is just truly an amazing, thoughtful person. It rained just before I walked down the isle and she was outside making sure our décor were covered under the tent. Over the top great service and quality. Worth every penny. More...

To say Teri goes above and beyond is an understatement! We did our engagement photos, and I did my boudoir photos, with Teri as well. I felt as though we were in great hands, and we were! I knew she would help to make our day feel so special, and go off without a hitch! She even came to our rehearsal the night before the wedding! Her and her assistant Jen are a great team, and they captured everything I wanted from our day just as it happened. My photos looks like something out of a fairy tale book. During my boudoir shoot I had the best time! Teri made me feel so comfortable, and to be honest, like a boss! Best gift I could have given my future husband; he loved it! I kind of wanted to keep it for myself! I now have over 1500 photos to treasure from our special day. I know I will definitely use Teri for all of the big moments in our life as our family hopefully grows. She is worth every penny! More...

I enjoyed every second working with Teri! She was more than a photographer for us, she captured moments, fixed near bridzilla moments, and ensured that my dress was as beautiful as I ever imagined. Teri went above and beyond, she was more than a photographer, she was a magic worker. She found the beauty and captured our day perfectly. When we finally saw our photos, I was in shock! I never knew how much I could love a simple picture.
My husband and I chose to work with Teri after she captured the most beautiful pictures at my husband sisters and brother wedding. I personally, love our photos the best! Thank you Teri for capturing the best day! More...

We couldn't have asked for better people to photograph the biggest day of our life. The minute we met Teri we knew that we could trust her. Leading up to our wedding, Teri was incredible about making herself available for any silly questions that I had. We met with her several times leading up to the wedding to iron out some details, and just to talk about how excited we were. I would recommend Ciao Bella Studios to any/everyone. More...
