Rob and Laura are professional, genuine and an absolute dream to work with for a wedding. They are both truly artists and make you feel comfortable with gorgeous pictures as the fi...
nal result. Rob and Laura know how to capture the important as well as the candid moments. While we were taking family photos after the ceremony Laura ran down to the bridal suite to bring back a comfortable pair of shoes for me to change into since my wedding shoes were killing me. And we loved our engagement session where our fur babies joined in the fun because they're our family. I can't imagine our incredible wedding journey without Rob and Laura!
I cannot scream from the mountains loud enough that everybody needs to book Rob and Laura as their photographers!! Outside of choosing my husband, choosing the Cimbaliks was the be...
st decision I made on my wedding day.
From the getgo, we felt such an instant connection to them and they provided support and help throughout our entire wedding planning process. We were planning from out of state and had to make lots of changes — even changing our venue — and the Cimbaliks never once showed any hesitation or doubt that everything would end up perfect.
They were so accommodating with us — we live in North Carolina, so all our planning sessions were virtual, and we still felt like they were sitting right next to us walking us through everything we needed to know. They were also willing to squeeze in our engagements once we flew in TWO DAYS before our wedding.
On the wedding day, there was nothing more comforting than Laura knocking on my door and bringing such a comfort and light into the room. On a day that was so hectic and went by so fast, they were able to help us focus on each other and remember to take it all in. I truly feel like they weren’t just our photographers — but our FRIENDS!!
Not only are they the best people, but they’re TALENT! Oh my goodness. I haven’t stopped staring at my wedding photos. Every other piece of my wedding is a memory — but these photos live on forever.
Investing in the Cimbaliks is a decision I would make over and over and over again. Stop looking now — you’ve found your photographers!!
Rob and Laura truly made our wedding day perfect! As someone who is nervous for photos they did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and leading the wedding party and fa...
mily quickly through all key shots. I would recommend them for any photo needs, I can't thank them enough for all of the hard work they put in around our wedding and the joy they brought to our day!!
Look no further, hire Rob and Laura for your photography needs! They are gifted artists, with an uncanny ability to capture the most precious moments so beautifully. My son picked...
them to capture his engagement - which was a surprise for his now bride-to-be! She had no idea he was going to propose; Rob and Laura captured her surprise and the pure joy of the moment for both she and my son. It just could not have been more perfect! They traveled to Tamarack for the photos, and we had to call an audible in the original plans due to some weather concerns; Rob & Laura knew exactly what to do to make this work and still make it a surprise. We love the photos and they helped make the moment just that much more special!
Do yourself a favor and book the Cimbaliks. Only two weeks before our wedding, our original photographer fell ill and we had to scramble to find someone. Magically, Rob and Laura h...
ad an opening, and they turned our worst nightmare into absolute perfection. Even with such a short prep period, they got to know us as people first, and their work brought out the best of us, our family and friends, and our whole wedding day. They made us feel calm and comfortable, and we will treasure the photos they took forever.
Their work speaks for itself; outside of their photos, we were most struck by their warmth, professionalism, and communication. They made the staged photo process a breeze. They were practically invisible when getting candid shots during the ceremony and reception. They even jumped in to help pour champagne for our wedding toasts when the venue forgot to do it themselves! They were the heroes of our wedding day, hands down.
So yeah, book the Cimbaliks. You will be very glad you did.
Best decision I made about our wedding! Beautiful photos and such a fun couple!! If you’re on the fence about booking them…. BOOK THEM!
We had a wonderful experience with the Cimbalik's; from the engagement session to our ceremony, we couldn't be happier to have had them as our photographers. Rob and Laura are incr...
edibly talented photographers, artistic with their finished product, thoughtful, responsive with communication, and genuine people. We had an intimate ceremony and they fit right into our group.
I don't want to give any surprises away, but Rob and Laura add some amazing touches to the planning stages, and even on your special day!! They have incredible communication throughout the process and there were no missing pieces for us on the big day for because of all the prep they gave us. It is obvious they are seasoned wedding pros, and you will feel like they are some of your best friends (not your photographers) by the end of the evening.
After receiving our finished photos, my dad sent me a text reminding me that when I was a little girl the only thing I ever worried about having at my wedding was a good photographer; I wasn't disappointed. I can honestly say that Rob and Laura are AMAZING, and we will be using them again in the future.
Where to even begin....working with Rob and Laura for our wedding was the best decision we ever made. Words hardly do them justice because they are the kind of people who are just ...
genuine, friendly, loving and caring. They went above and beyond what we paid them for and surprised us with little things throughout the planning process and even beyond the wedding. I wont spoil all their secrets because you just need to work with them to find out. You will not regret it.
They are set apart. The two of them complement each other so well and capture different images. They are so generous with their time and in the week leading up to the wedding (after I changed the timeline up) Laura took time to have a call with me to walk through the new timeline. I just cannot recommend them enough. See for yourself: https://cimbalikphotography.com/2022/04/abby-graham-the-boise-depot-boise-idaho-wedding/
I truly couldn't put into words how amazing Rob & Laura are. We couldn't have asked for more from photographers. Our photos turned out gorgeous and exactly what we envisioned, noth...
ing too "done" or prom-photo looking. They really captured the day authentically and artfully. Rob & Laura are also really beautiful people, so friendly and fun to be around. No part of the day felt awkward or like there were cameras being shoved in our faces, lol. We love them!!
We cannot express enough how wonderful it was to work with Rob and Laura to help us capture every detail of our beautiful wedding. They are a true team that work more than you coul...
d possibly realize to help ensure that your dreams become realities and a story you will remember forever. A simple recommendation does not do justice to their skillset and they are worth every penny for anyone who is considering them as a photographer. You will not be treated as a simple client. You will become part of their family from day one and that special bond does not end once the pictures are processed. They are as authentic and genuine as you could possibly hope for and their incredible portfolios speak for themselves. They deserve every accolade that comes their way and we wish them all the success in the world as they make it such a better place day after day.
Simply put, Rob & Laura are phenomenal photographers with exceptional customer service and artistic talent. As the mother of the bride, there are plenty of details to worry about, ...
but from the moment we first met the Cimbaliks, we knew we wouldn’t have to worry about the photos.
It was so awesome to have photographers who knew exactly the locations to take my daughter & her fiancé for their engagement session, and that they made it so fun abs special despite the cold and windy weather that evening. We received preview photos very quickly and were so grateful to have such beautiful, high quality images to use in the wedding invites and to display at home.
Fast forward to the wedding at Tamarack this fall, we did feel very fortunate to have spectacular fall colors and sunshine, but doubly fortunate to have talented photographers capturing special moments throughout the day and evening. From the hair & makeup shots to the ceremony, family portraits and reception, Rob & Laura captured every memorable moment and exceeded our every expectation — so much so that they felt like part of the family by the end of the evening!
Rob and Laura are absolutely amazing. We originally met during some family photos a couple years prior and I was already impressed so I made sure to keep them in my back pocket for...
when marriage came along. Not only are they very talented photographers, but they go above and beyond that role. I do not want to divulge any of their little surprises, but know there are many along the road to your big day! Both Rob and Laura have great strengths they bring to the table. Rob is the maestro and keeps the day of the wedding moving while Laura completely embodies that motherly spirit to help not only the bride but the entire bridesmaid group. She even brings a little sewing kit so when your bridesmaid's dress's zipper fails, she is able to supply the tools to help us sew her into her dress (true story!). Both Rob and Laura are obviously seasoned vets when it comes to the wedding scene! When booking Rob and Laura, it is indeed an investment. I look at our photos and relive every moment. Not only will you be happy with them in person, but their final product is amazing. I had so many wedding guests during the wedding, the day after the wedding, weeks after the wedding, and months after the wedding compliment them. In regards to the weeks leading up to the wedding, Laura and Rob are very responsive and helpful. They definitely do not stay confined to a roll of 'photographer only'. They are able to help you plan the day and give helpful advice when it comes to those very stressful tasks. Love, love, love them.
Rob and Laura are an absolute joy to work with! They are as excited about you getting married as you are! They really want to get the best photos! They assist with poses which real...
ly helped me and my husband! We have so many beautiful images from our engagement session and wedding! Highly recommend!
Rob and Laura Cimbalik took pictures for our engagement session and our wedding. Let me tell you, they are hands down the best! Not only are they amazing at what they do, but they ...
are also such a joy to be around! They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and always had us laughing. Bonus points for having two photographers! They get so many moments that I feel like would go missed if we just had one of them. We were treated with so much love during our engagement, wedding, and even afterwards! They were so easy to work with when we had to postpone our wedding a year later than we originally planned. The pictures we received from them were one of my favorite things from our wedding. They have such a love for what they do it really shows in their work. We get so many compliments on our pictures! If you’re needing a photographer we HIGHLY recommend Cimbalik Photography!
Rob and Laura were an absolute dream to work with! They make you feel so comfortable the entire time, even if you don’t know what you are doing. When Laura was taking photos of me ...
and my bridesmaids she made us feel so beautiful and so excited about every picture we took. When we saw our pictures we were in ‘awe’ with how incredible they looked. I couldn’t imagine our big day with anyone else. They go above and beyond for their couples. I HIGHLY recommend booking with them
Rob and Laura were the best photographers to work with hands down. They were extremely professional, friendly, and amazing to communicate with from initial email, to wedding day, t...
o receiving our beautiful wedding photos. What drew me to them was their ability to capture the natural light to produce stunning photos. Can’t say enough good things about them. We will definitely be using them again in the future for family photos!
Rob and Laura Cimbalik are a joy to work with! They are such a great team and have a fantastic eye for photography. After a couple of google searches for McCall area wedding photog...
raphy we landed on their website and fell in love with their bright and vibrant style. My husband and I wanted a local photographer who knew the area and knew how to capture the beauty of the Idaho mountains - Rob and Laura did not disappoint!
They are truly a beautiful example of love and marriage and their passion for their craft is very apparent. We have received endless compliments on our engagement and wedding photos, and are over the moon to with the quality and care that they put into our photos. If you are in the market for a photographer do yourself a favor and book them now!!
Rob and Laura Cimbalik are too good to be true - they are kind, fun, professional, and produce absolutely stunning photography. From the beginning when we started planning our wedd...
ing we had great communication with them. They also go beyond photography - for instance they helped to ensure all details were in place on their part and coordinated with our other vendors. We cannot imagine our wedding day without Laura with her huge smile guiding our poses and taking our photos, with Rob behind the scenes snapping candids like a champ. We cannot recommend them more!
Where do we even start with the Cimbalik’s!? Rob and Laura are such a joy to be around and they were absolute blessings on our wedding day! They have such fun energy and any photog...
raphy session with them feels like you are just hanging out with your friends!
My husband and I have never taken any professional photographs and Rob and Laura were the perfect pair to show us how it’s done! They help teach you how to pose and coach you through the session and when you get your photos back you will be AMAZED!
They photograph with such a bright and vibrant color palate and they truly do capture your love story one photograph at a time! Rain or shine, Rob and Laura will be there to help you every step of the way! With planning, engagement photos, and any last minute-changes to your special day, they are quick to respond and will help in any way!
We are so excited to say we have made some life long friends and we can’t wait to keep booking Rob and Laura for other monumental moments in our life! I could go on but I will stop myself before I write a book about the Cimbalik’s!! :)
Booking with Cimbalik Photography was the best decision we made for our wedding. Rob and Laura are not only the sweetest couple but also make such an incredible photography team. ...
The quality of our engagement and wedding photos are phenomenal. I have received numerous compliments on the quality of our photos.
From the initial meeting, through the engagement shoot, to the wedding day Rob and Laura made us feel comfortable and at ease. They were very flexible and able to accommodate any request or slight revision of schedule we had.
They also provide the sweetest "gifts" along the way and even a surprise on wedding day.
They are very responsive and seemed to really be invested in our big day with us. The engagement photo session was my personal favorite and would recommend it to any couple on the fence about it. Rob & Laura took us to the most beautiful location, so much less pressure than the wedding day, we were all able to relax and get to know each other.
I would hire them again and again and again and cannot recommend them enough!
Hiring Rob and Laura to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we ever made. Planning a wedding is already stressful but during a pandemic it was beyond stressful. No...
t only were Rob and Laura with us through it all, they were so accommodating when it came down to changing our venue location two months before the wedding.
On our wedding day Rob and Laura were beyond amazing! They came on time, well prepared, and ready for our big day. Rob and Laura have a talent for capturing those special moments where you least expect it. They are great at capturing every little detail of your wedding, from the venue location right down to the center pieces. They are the most warm and welcoming couple and I can’t recommend them enough to anyone. I know that Cimbalik Photography will forever be our photographers for in the future once we decided to grow our family.
Do yourself a favor and book with Cimbalik photography now, you will not be disappointed! Rob and Laura truly are the best! Not only are they the sweetest, but they also so organi...
zed and so efficient, they will make everything seamless! They communicate with you from the second you book with them to make sure you are completely prepared for your special day! Plus, you may get some surprises along the way! They captured our special day so perfectly! They work so great as a team, and truly have an eye for all the details! We can’t thank you enough Laura and Rob!
Rob and Laura are absolutely amazing at their job. They were the photographers at my daughters wedding at Shore Lodge in McCall and they were such a fun and professional couple to ...
work with. They photos of the wedding were perfect. Do not hesitate to use them for you photo needs.
Recently I had the opportunity to with Laura and Rob for some branding photos. I have worked along side Laura at weddings, previously, as another vendor, but it was a real treat to...
be able to actually work with them as the subject of their work. Their friendliness and professionalism are perfect. They laughed with us and played with us, and were so good at instructing our poses so we looked good. I think many people don’t realize how important it is to have a photographer that really watches their clients, and corrects their poses to be just right, and to make the subject look their best. I promise, it is an art form in and of itself. Laura and Rob made us all feel comfortable and confident in front of the lens, and I can’t wait to see what we get back. If you are looking for a photographer, whether it be for your wedding, branding portraits, or other, these two are some of the best.
Rob & Laura Cimbalik have the experience, the talent and the capability to capture a moment in time. The pictures they took at our daughters Brundage Mountain top wedding were spec...
tacular. They incorporated the beauty of the setting and the magic of the ceremony and delivered breathtaking pictures.
It seems like anyone with an iPhone considers themselves a photographer. Not so, it takes an eye for composition, a feel for lighting, an understanding of what can and cannot be done with your equipment and the the ability to relax and direct the subject to get a natural smile. Rob & Laura are very unassuming and disarming as they prepare their subjects. They also can be flexible and capture special moments that aren’t always planned. Right before our daughters ceremony at the top of Brundage Mountain, the resort lost power, stranding the father-of-the-bride and the bride on the ski lift. But instead of waiting for the ceremony to begin, since they were already set up, they grabbed their gear to capture all the fun that ensued. And 20 minutes later when the lift started up and delivered the bride and her dad, they were ready for the ceremony. During the ceremony didn’t impede the event, they captured it. No one had to look around them. I had very high exceptions for our daughters wedding photos, but I never expected the quality and quantity of what we received from Cimbalik. I’m sure I will be hiring them again for our next family event. Thank you, Laura & Rob

ns you will ever meet. We did our engagement session and our wedding day with them (highly recommend doing both with Laura and Rob) and they had us laughing from the moment we met. They made my now husband and I feel taken care of, relaxed, and made every moment enjoyable, like we were hanging with good old friends the entire time. The icing on the cake is that they are not only the best people, but they are the most amazing photographers! They are there when you need them, but also ninjas, capturing every perfect moment while hiding behind the scenes. I cannot tell you how many compliments I have received from our photos. Their turnaround time is amazing and the quality of their photography is unmatched. I’ve been in the events industry for over 10years and I can not recommend a vendor more whole heartedly!
"You're pictures are amazing!", "there's not one bad picture!" and how would you pick just a few" are the responses we hear over and over again whenever we show our wedding photos ...
done by Cimbalik Photography. They had so much excitement and passion for our wedding, we couldn't HELP but smile! Their online questionairs and forms were impressively easy and smooth, making the whole process extremely easy. Not only do I call them friends, but extremely professional and warm!
Rob and Laura are amazing to work with! They are very fun, personable, and make you feel comfortable. Loved working with them and look forward to using them in the future!
We cannot say enough good things about Rob and Laura Cimbalik! These guys have mad talent for taking pictures! Their ability to work with our family through the engagement shoot,...
in addition to all the fine details leading up to the big day was wonderful! We had several family and friends that were a part of our wedding reflect back to us on how amazing Rob and and Laura were to work with on our big day! Sincerely, we could not have asked for better photographers! So grateful to have found you guys!
The Cimbalik’s were the absolute best, from taking our engagement photos to our wedding day! We couldn’t have asked for a better duo, Laura was with the bride and bridesmaids and R...
ob was with the groom and groomsmen while getting ready on the wedding day, it was perfect! They are so genuine, kind, professional and do AMAZING work. We have sooo many photos to choose from that are amazing, they are so talented and we were lucky to have hired them for our perfect wedding day!
Rob and Laura Cimbalik were so great to work with. As a new bride with absolutely no idea what I was doing, they led the way and made the process so easy for us. I didn't have to t...
hink about anything, Laura was always one step ahead of me. On our wedding day, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They are such an awesome team working together, and they both really know how to capture the most precious moments you don't want to miss. I really can't say enough wonderful things about them, so if you're looking for wedding photographers, stop your search now because they are the best in the business. We love them!!
There is not enough positive words to describe Rob and Laura! We had the most magical wedding of all time and they captured every second of our happily ever after! Kind, patient, c...
ompassionate, happy, stress free, spontaneous (because if you saw our blog, we forgot my honey’s pants for the engagement shoot, and they just rolled with it)! I will forever and always recommend Cimbalik Photography to anyone!
P.S. We threw some dirt bike photos in the mix, because that’s something we are truly passionate about... Rob and Laura CRUSHED IT!!
Choosing Rob and Laura Cimbalik to photograph our wedding was the best decision we made! From the very first meeting, they were prepared, organized and so friendly. We felt like we...
had already known them for years, even though we just met. Our engagement session was so fun and the location they had in mind for us was perfect! In between the engagement session and the wedding day Laura kept in touch, helped us create our wedding timeline and answered all other wedding related questions that we had (she is a great resource for all things wedding!). During our wedding day, Laura and Rob were there on time and prepared for the day. I feel like they relieved some of the day of stress for us with their fun-loving personalities and laughter (especially with having a rainy day!). They were also fantastic at getting pictures of everything from the venue, decor, ceremony, and reception. We have photos of everyone that attended our wedding plus more! Rob and Laura are amazing people and photographers. Our guests and other vendors complimented us on how fun and easy they were to work and how they just fit into the party! The photos are SO BEAUTIFUL and we could not be happier with our decision! We will definitely be using Cimbalik for all our photo needs in the future.
Highly recommend them!!
They are so amazing!
Great communication, great value, stunning photos and they are the nicest people!
Travis and I are so grateful for everything Laura and Rob did to capture our day. Not only do they make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, but they also made the experienc...
e SO MUCH FUN! We did an engagement shoot before the wedding, where we enjoyed getting to know Laura and Rob. Immediately following the shoot, we received a thank you for the experience. Those are the special touches that Rob and Laura share from the moment you meet them until after the wedding day. The day of our wedding went so smooth and we attribute that to Laura and Rob keeping the flow going. So many people told us how awesome our photographers were. These are two people who LOVE what they do and it shows every minute you are with them. And since they are a couple who is obviously in love, it makes it even more special to have them capture your day. We love them and know you will too!!
Rob and Laura are out-of-this-world talented!! This adorable, and genuinely kind, couple agreed to camp with us for a long weekend out at Mackay Bar Guest Ranch and take photos of...
our wedding. We saw some of our pics before the day was over and the rest within days...wow, are they gorgeous!!!! Pick them, Pick them!!! They love what they do and it shows in every picture!!
Laura and Rob are the best. They are so nice and make you feel like they are instantly your friends. Our pictures are beautiful and I would go with the Cimbaliks again in a heart...
beat.
Cimbalik photography came recommended by some friends and I couldn't be more thrilled with my choice. Laura and Rob did our engagement photos and similar to the prior review, we co...
uldn't choose a few. So we ordered the whole lot! These photographers took the time to get to know us before the shoot and were so easy-going it put my fiancé and I at ease. They are so kind, personable, affordable, and amazing photographers. I would recommend them to any friends/family! Cannot wait for them to photograph our wedding.
Rob and Laura were amazing! We had our engagement pictures taken and I ended up ordering all the pictures, I couldn't choose just a few! They were so easy to work with and are so...
familiar with the area and how to use the natural beauty for great lighting/backdrops. They listened to everything we wanted and had great ideas. They were so easy to work with and quick to respond to emails (which was super important to me). It's very clear they both love their work...it showed in their easygoing attitude and the beautiful pictures they took. Laura was *VERY* pregnant during our wedding, but you would not have known it, she was such a trooper all day and was climbing on chairs to get great shots (I think some of my bridesmaids scolded her for it). We did a "first look" and took our bridal party pictures before the wedding, and Rob & Laura surprised us with a sneak peek album during the wedding, which meant SO much to us. Waiting for pictures is the hardest thing to do, so I'm so happy we had those to show off!! We could not be happier with our choice and plan to use them in the future for family and (maybe??) pregnancy/baby shoots. If you are getting married in the area, definitely put them as your #1 choice, you will not be disappointed!!
