The Best!!

Caitlin was very organized, accommodating, professional and relatable. Although we gave her a very long shot list, she was able to accomplish everything on time which we couldn’t have done with out her. She was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Her “sneak peak” of photos to us was timely and extensive. Her photos are absolutely stunning and we have had countless compliments from our friends and family. She was able to capture not only the more serious moments but also the fun candid ones as well. It was nice not needing to stress about capturing the nights events because we knew she got every moment. We will be working with her again in the future!!

Look no further, Caitlin is simply *the best*!

*This post is long overdue!* Caitlin was my photographer for my July 2022 wedding. She and I met at USC (Fight On!), and we were both part of a USC all women, service organization called the Helenes. I've followed her journey since then and when it became my time to get married, I knew I wanted Caitlin to be a part of it! Her style is so clean, airy, and timeless.

Caitlin was such a pleasure to work with. She's extremely organized; her website is so easy to use. Her demeanor was always friendly, approachable, calm, cool, and collected throughout the entire process, which helped enormously. Caitlin was able to handle more *difficult* family members on the wedding day with ease. She was also able to improvise when needed.

In terms of delivery, Caitlin exceeded our expectations. The best part about working with Caitlin *that you often don't get from other photographers* is that she sent a handful of edited previews within 24 hours. Who does that?! She then sent us more sneak peeks about a week later and delivered our whole edited gallery within 4-5 weeks. What!! Seriously, who does that? I have friends who are still anxiously waiting for their photos 3-4 months post-wedding from other photographers.

I've already told my husband that I want Caitlin to be our photographer for my maternity shoot and for our future family photos. :)

Thank you so much Caitlin for being a part of our special day. The pictures you took are so beautiful and we will cherish them forever. It was such a pleasure working with you and we can't wait to work with you again soon.

Talented, sweet, simply the BEST!

My husband and I could not recommend Caitlin enough! Not only does she have incredible photography skills, she is the sweetest and most genuine person. Caitlin did our Engagement shoot, my Bridal Shower, and our wedding. Through every shoot, she had the most positive energy and creative ideas for photos. Her eye for detail is impressive and is shown through every photo she takes. Caitlin became more than just a wedding vendor to us, but a friend. Because of Caitlin, we have albums we will cherish for a lifetime.

The BEST. Go with Caitlin!

Caitlin was absolutely amazing to work with! She took two awkward humans and helped us create beautiful engagement and wedding photos. Our wedding was on New years eve and had 2 different cultural ceremonies plus a reception so it was a very long day for her, but Caitlin was a champion through it all. She put up with all the aunties who felt the need to take phone pictures while she was taking professional ones. She was very responsive and communicative throughout the whole planning process. Her work is so beautiful as well. We have just received the sneak peaks from the wedding, and immediately teared up because it really took us back to all the happy emotions she was able to capture from the day. We can’t wait to work with Caitlin again in the future and would recommend Caitlin to everyone!

Amazing, Sweet, Professional Photographer for All Your Memories

Caitlin did an exceptional job with our engagement photos, and we can’t wait for her to shoot our wedding! I found her webpage when looking for a photographer who had done shoots at the Griffith Observatory, and I am so grateful I did. She responded incredibly quickly and professionally, and right off the bat engaged sincerely with our story.

The day of our shoot, not going to lie, was probably a photographer’s nightmare. There was LA fog so thick that you couldn’t even see the Observatory from the parking lot. But Caitlin kept a super positive attitude and did everything she could to make it work. Her style of posing makes you feel really comfortable, even if you’re super tall and awkward like myself. She managed to capture over a hundred photos that felt so authentically “us”—not over-edited, not rigid, just happy and sweet!

She turned around the photos super quickly and was such a joy to work with. Before I hired her, I had so many concerns that I would end up hiring a photographer only to be disappointed and unable to get those moments back. Caitlin showed us that is definitely not the case. Stop looking for a wedding photographer—Caitlin is who you want!

Photo perfection!

The aloha spirit is epitomized in Caitlin and how she runs her business. Even through unforeseen setbacks during our big day, she showed kindness, patience, and expert adaptability. She was an amazing guide during our engagement shoot and wedding day, and we really appreciated her sweet and calm demeanor, which helped alleviate our nerves during both days. Most importantly, we felt appreciated and respected, as Caitlin took the time to get to know us and the vision we had for our wedding. Her photos relay beautifully the emotions, color and fun of our special days. We look forward to seeing the final gallery.

Stunning Photos!

We got our wedding photos and they're absolutely stunning! We're blown away by the quality, framing, and style and couldn't be happier with them. Huge thanks to Caitlin for capturing the best day of our lives so beautifully. We're excited to relive our wedding day through these photos. If you're looking for a thoughtful photographer who can capture the joy and emotion of your wedding day, look no further. Thank you, Caitlin!

My fiancé and I booked Caitlin for our engagement and wedding pictures and we are so so happy with our photos! Caitlin is very sweet, responsive, and professional. We rarely take pictures together but she made us feel comfortable and natural. She helped us with everything -- from sending us engagement location recs, tips for outfit coordination, prompting us with various fluid poses, telling me to move my ring when it wasn't showing, and making sure we were positioned and angled optimally. I even felt comfortable asking her silly questions - she's always so helpful and communicative. You can tell she loves her craft and is incredibly gifted at capturing and framing timeless, classic, and natural pictures. Our friends and family (who are very picky) absolutely love our stunning engagement pictures and we've been recommending her left and right since we booked her hehe. We will cherish all these amazing pictures for years to come!

Another priority for us was making sure that we booked a photographer who was on the same page with taking COVID safety seriously (such a relief to hear she did when other vendors did not). We are very excited and thrilled for her to capture our micro-wedding!!

Talented, Professional, & So Kind

We hired Caitlin to photograph our rehearsal dinner and wedding and could not have been happier. Caitlin is so sweet, great to work with, and her pictures were amazing. Pictures are so important to capture the memories of the big day and Caitlin absolutely nailed it. She also gave us the perfect amount of direction for us to feel comfortable and get a great variety of shots. Caitlin really goes the extra step to make the entire process fun, memorable, and easy – my husband and I highly recommend her!

Amazing Proposal Photos!

I’ve been following Caitlin on Instagram for the last year or so and love her work! My fiancé originally had a different photographer booked for our proposal, but he cancelled and fell through. My fiancé reached out to Caitlin with less than a weeks notice and she was able to fit it into her schedule! She knew I followed her and went “incognito” in sunglasses, a hat, and of course a mask so that I wouldn’t recognize her haha! She was so great and the pictures are STUNNING! She made Tom and I comfortable and we had lots of laughs which came through in the pictures. She even got great photos of Tom which can sometimes be a challenge as he gets awkward in front of the camera lol. I couldn’t recommend her enough! I will love these photos for years to come.

Best. Wedding. Photographer. Ever

Wow, wow, wow! First of all, I want to say how kind, professional, and amazing Caitlin is. You can tell by her website how much she loves bright and airy photography and how good she is at it. She makes you feel comfortable through each shot and I was so surprised how natural she made us look in some of our photos considering how awkward I can be behind a camera.
I thought that Covid- 19 ruined our wedding plans and there was no chance that I would get the wedding that I hoped and dreamed for. Caitlin, throughout this whole process, was so kind and considerate. She was quick to inform us what our options were and assured us along the way.
Flash forward to our big day. She made my now husband and I feel so special. After looking at the photos again and again, we are so amazed by her talent. While we were living in our moment and enjoying our day, she was documenting every moment. The photos can speak for themselves! If you want an amazing and talented photographer that will make your memories just as beautiful as the day they happened, choose Caitlin because we would over and over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
