Caitlin is amazing! Run (don’t walk) to her website and book her for your wedding immediately! She was easily one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. Right off the bat, she was warm, friendly, organized, and so helpful. She was so easy to work with from the get-go, and consistently a delight! She feels like one of your dearest, sweetest friends. She is enormously talented, and I loved her light and bright aesthetic when I first came across her pictures. Not only are the pictures beautiful, but she really captures the essence of the moment. She gets the easy breezy expressions, tender moments, pure joy, and all the beautiful in-betweens on your special day. Her turnaround time for photos is unheard of (so speedy!!), and our whole family and bridal party loved working with her. You want an energetic, organized photographer on your wedding day, and Caitlin is all that and more. No question that this is what she is meant to do with her life. She is passionate about her work, efficient in the shooting process, and chock-full of helpful details, suggestions, and recommendations. We are beyond happy with our images, which are heirlooms we will have forever. Booking her is a no brainer!

Caitlin is INCREDIBLE and I could not recommend her enough. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer, but she is also so much fun to work with! Caitlin not only captures a beautiful image, but captures the emotions that are behind each and every photograph. Choosing Caitlin as our wedding photographer was hands down one of our best choices in the wedding planning process. She made the whole process completely stress free and it allowed for my husband and I to enjoy our big day. She also got our wedding pictures back to us before we were even home from our honeymoon! I had high expectations for our wedding photos and was blown away when we got them back. We will be recommending Caitlin to anyone who needs a wedding photographer, she is amazing!!

Caitlin is simply amazing! Her photography style is soft and elegant, and she did a beautiful job capturing all of the special moments from our day. One thing that was important to us when choosing our photographer was energy, and boy did Caitlin deliver! She was so fun and positive throughout the experience and kept us laughing and smiling in front of the camera. Caitlin made the whole process so easy from day one and provided us with helpful guides, tips, and tricks along the way. She is super organized, responsive and timely with communication, which is so helpful in easing a bride’s high anxiety. I really appreciated her creating us a ‘day of’ timeline. One of the best parts of working with Caitlin is she’s so speedy! We got our images back super quick and she doesn’t need tons of shooting time to capture quality photographs. Hiring Caitlin was the best decision, we hope you choose her too! We seriously consider her family, we love you Caitlin!

I don’t know where to start–Caitlin was absolutely incredible. One of the things I felt was most important for the wedding was finding a great photographer. As soon as I saw Caitlin’s photos, I knew she was it! This has been proven to be true over and over since we booked with her. She is so organized, friendly, and overall great. From the beginning she made us feel at ease and helped us stay on track. And this is before we even got to the photos! The engagement session was so much fun, and she even made my very nervous fiance feel comfortable! The turn-around on the photos was so fast, and each one was so beautiful! On the wedding day, she arrived early and was so helpful with not only making sure we obtained each photo we wanted, but also helping coordinate with the other vendors and helping us stay on time for the day. She took so many gorgeous photos while still making sure we had time to enjoy the day–a wonderful balance. Many of our guests/family members complimented her efficiency, work, and personality throughout the wedding day. And once again, the turn around on receiving our photos was so quick! Honestly, I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly than Caitlin–working with her was easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

A photographer was the first vendor we wanted to book after we set our wedding date and chose our venue. We chose Caitlin because we knew how important good photography would be to remember the day, but also not feel like we were under a microscope all day. For the day of, Caitlin was like a ninja during the ceremony and reception but took incredible photos (which we received in less than a week after the wedding). Her ability to see and bring out the spectacular in ordinary locations gave us photos that truly captured how beautiful the day felt for my husband and me. She’s also highly professional in crowd controlling and working as a vendor with us and other vendors. We strongly recommend Caynay as your photographer for your wedding – her quality photography and non-invasive work style is worth the investment.

How do you put into words a service that is absolutely perfect and everything you’ve ever dreamed of? Caitlin is absolutely incredible. She has gone above and beyond other photographers I’ve worked with in every way. She helped us from the start with all sorts of information, tips and tricks and helped us create a timeline that worked for everyone and kept the whole day flowing. From engagement photos, to boudoir photos to our wedding – Caitlin was there and documented every step of the way. She truly is a godsend. She is so talented and every photo is crisp, beautiful and shows the true emotion of the day.

She has one of the fastest turn-around times I have ever come across for wedding photographers. (We had our sneak peak 14 hours after she left our wedding and our entire gallery in 5 DAYS!) and every photo is perfect. She’s so quick and efficient and the groomsman didn’t complain once! She’s got a wonderful personality and she’s got jokes and makes every situation light and so enjoyable. She’s like a ninja and sometimes I forgot she was there! She’s so thorough and doesn’t miss a beat if something changes on the fly. We truly love all of our photos and recommend her to all of our friends who are getting married. She made the whole experience a breeze and so enjoyable and we love our photos and her so much!
