Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Catalina is fantastic! She strikes the perfect balance between editorial and fine art, and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Some of my favorite memories from our wedding day were actually while taking photos with my now-husband, just the two of us with Catalina behind the lens. She created space for those quiet, magical moments to unfold naturally.

She was also incredibly knowledgeable about our venue, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process feel seamless. We’re obsessed with our sneak peek photos and can’t wait to see the full gallery. I couldn’t recommend her more!

The Absolute BEST

Catalina was truly one of my favorite vendors I worked with for my wedding in November 2022. First of all, she makes taking pictures SO MUCH FUN. My husband and I hate taking pictures and feel very awkward in front of the camera, but with her, she makes it feel so fun and effortless. She has the BEST artistic style and captures such beautiful moments in a natural way. She was also so flexible and easy to work with which is such a must for your wedding. She was extremely responsive and connected with me throughout the process to make sure she had all the details she needed to make the day smooth. She helped make the perfect timeline and keep things on schedule. We had a morning ceremony and evening reception, and she worked with me to make sure we could add in enough time to capture both events, and even stayed longer to get some additional pictures at the end of the night. I didn't want her to leave because she was just such a fun wedding guest, regardless of the pictures! I got so many compliments about her, not just about the actual pictures (though I got a ton of those, too), but also about how fun and cool she was throughout the day. She also photographed our engagement shoot and rehearsal dinner, which all turned out amazing. I cannot say enough good things about her and the beautiful pictures she gave us to remember our special day!

Incredible.

Where to even begin...Catalina was more than we could have hoped for. She is professional, assertive, helpful, creative, and passionate about her work. We feel so lucky to have found her for our micro-wedding! The pictures she produced for us were nothing short of breathtaking - we have the most beautiful photos to look back on for many years to come! Catalina provided a huge sense of comfort for us and our families on such an emotional day and we appreciated her presence in addition to her work. She is a wonderful person and a wonderful photographer and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

This planner recommends Catalina!

I was the wedding coordinator for a wedding Catalina did in May 2022. I really enjoyed working together! Catalina was kind, efficient, and brought a great energy to the entire wedding day. I was also a huge fan of the music they brought along with them to help set the mood for photos. Genius!

Need an amazingly talented and one of a kind wedding photographer? Look no further than Catalina Jean Photography.

She is an incredible artist & captured both our engagement photos and our special day beautifully! Catalina is not only an incredible one of a kind photographer, but also person. She is amazing & made us feel completely at ease & comfortable. Her passion and excitement were contagious! She understood us as couple & found places for our photos that fit us.
We had so much fun taking all of our photos at our engagement shoot and after our ceremony.

The photos really tell a story & capture the little moments, emotion, and love. Every time we look through these photos, we will be able to truly relive the day. We will cherish these forever!

We just submitted our print order and we are so excited to put them up all over our house!

Catalina was amazing. Her talent was obvious when we saw her portfolio, but the way she goes about the whole day is an art form in itself. She made everyone feel so comfortable and got many amazing shots. We got our pictures back so fast too, which was the best. I'm sooo so glad we were able to book Catalina, I mean pictures are really the only way to truly remember details of special moments, and she captured our wedding moments in the most lovely way. They'll be hanging on our walls always!

CATALINA IS THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER OF ALL TIME! Not only are her photos so flawless and artistic, but she is also just an incredibly rad human being. Our guests could not stop talking about how much fun she was - the perfect amount of laid back and out of the way and also fun and quirky to get people to engage in the photos. Catalina does an amazing job of capturing the authentic moments that aren't staged throughout the day. It is so special to have photos of my wife and I embracing when I thought no one was looking. Catalina does an amazing job of somehow being everywhere all at once without anyone noticing.

Catalina was so easy to work with throughout the planning process and did a great job of scouting first look locations for us in our favorite neighborhood. She does a perfect amount of staged photos and spur of the moment creative shots. We used her for our engagement shoot and our wedding and I cannot recommend her enough. By the end of our wedding day when she was leaving I told her I wanted to be best friends with her because we enjoyed sharing our day with her so much. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE EVERYWHERE FOREVER!!!!

I can only say positive things about my experience with Catalina. She has thought of everything when it comes to making your photography unique, and special for your wedding. She went out of her way to go see the venue before the celebration, and find ideal places to take our photos. I was so impressed with the level of detail that she puts into her work. She took the time to get to know me, so all my photos are 100% what I wanted.

Not only is she extremely professional, she is easy to get along with, and pleasant to be around. I think she fit perfectly in with my group and they only have nice things to say about her.

Thank you Catalina, I could not have asked for a better photographer!

I would recommend Catalina for any event or portrait session! She is very reliable, profession, and so talented. When recommending photographers to my clients, I always tell them that hiring a photographer who you enjoy spending time with is key because you are spending so much time with them on your day. Catalina could not be more easy-going, personable, and an overall delight to be around. She would make your photography experience on your day fun and memorable. Not to mention, she will give you images that you will cherish always.

We had the pleasure of working with Catalina this past weekend at Newell House Museum. She was a joy to work with and was so easy going with our bride. She worked very hard to get all of the must have photos, and very creative with our venue. We look forward to working with her again in the future!
