About Best Wishes Studio

Best Wishes Studio

Owner and Art Director

Best Wishes is a husband and wife photo and video team, recently re-local to Portland, ME. We specialize in candid imagery in a documentary style with a tender bent- and offer video and still photography. We shoot on film and in digital formats, for a nostalgic feel. We pride ourselves on storytelling, cultivating sincerity and authenticity in our work, and making folks feel comfortable and confident on camera. Our ideal client is someone who values connection, who is looking for something unique, who treasures a tender photo of a loved one laughing, who leans into a little nostalgia, and who needs all the social media crops!

We're here for the anti-brides, the weirdos, the musicians and the artsty kids with dreams of looking like rock stars on their special day. We always listen, we lead with kindness, and we help everyone look and feel like the best version of themselves.

    Cecile as amazing to work with. After talking and seeing multiple photographers portfolios Cecile was an easy choice. Her eye for documenting our big day was beyond the planned staged photos. She captured all the great moments we would have missed if it wasn’t for her. Family gather before, meet ups inbetween and precious moments during. She was hands down the easiest person to talk with about our vision and seamlessly navigated getting ready, ceremony, and after party photos. We have several photos up in our house and they are everything we wished for.

    I would highly recommend Cecile and Andrew and their business, Best Wishes Studio. My children and I surprised my husband with a weekend getaway to celebrate his 60th, and we wanted to have some informal family photos to remember it by. Cecile and Andrew really listened to what we were looking for, and with their down to earth and approachable manner, they put us all at ease immediately. We were all extremely happy with the outcome.
