Katie Sent on 09/13/2022We're so happy we chose Catalina!
Catalina went beyond our expectations for our wedding photos. She was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable the day of our wedding. We don't take photos all the time but Catalina cued us and made us feel relaxed. She helped me prepare ahead of time with suggestions for certain photos (like a confetti popper) and made me feel that everything was taken care of. The day of the wedding she was so helpful in organizing a first look and sparkler photos. She was quick to give us preview photos and the photos we've received so far have blown us away. During the reception she was mindful in letting us celebrate but also giving us an option to take more bride/groom photos if we wanted. We felt she fit right into our budget and would highly recommend her services! -

Catalina is truly the best of the best!!! She was the photographer at my friends wedding a few years back and since then I knew I wanted her to be the photographer for my wedding. She is so genuine and makes you feel so comfortable when taking pictures.

We now have beautiful memories to look back on and SO many pictures!! Do yourself the favor and hire her as your photographer you will be super happy! -

Catalina is the most wonderful person/photographer
I don’t know where to start. Catalina is the most down to earth, talented, sweet person and photographer we know. We met Catalina 2 years ago- she shot our engagement photos and we couldn’t wait for her to photograph our wedding. From the second she got to our hotel wedding day, she started and didn’t stop until the very last second, making sure we had everything we wanted her to capture. She was patient with our son, who is 3, worked with him and us to capture the most amazing photos we will cherish forever. She also sent us sneak peak photos and had all our photos back in less than a week which is just mind blowing! Catalina knows what to do, what to capture and makes sure she doesn’t miss a second- please do yourself a favor and hire her. I know we cannot wait to hire her again! -

Kelly Sent on 06/20/2021Stop what you're doing and hire Catalina now!
The first step to having an amazing wedding is hiring Catalina Fragoso to be your photographer. Catalina made our wedding day (and our engagement shoot) absolutely perfect from start to finish. From the first time we talked to her on the phone and she helped us get an idea of what kind of photos we wanted, we knew we needed to hire her. When we had to postpone our wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she was incredibly flexible and helpful as we shifted our dates, and she was the first vendor we contacted because we knew we had to keep her. Throughout the whole time she kept us calm, relaxed, and made us feel comfortable in front of a camera which can be incredibly challenging to do. And the photos she took are absolutely incredible—we have no idea which ones to choose to frame because there are so many amazing ones. She captured everything we wanted and more from the day—from posed photos with our families to fun, candid shots of us dancing, from group shots with our bridal party to capturing our vows exquisitely. We also woke up the day after our wedding to a text from her with more than 20 photos ready for us which blew our minds! We got the rest of them within 4-5 days, which was so wonderful, and we’ve had such a blast sharing them with our families ever since. I would recommend Catalina to everyone and anyone—we’re already thinking of more excuses to take photos in the future just to use her again! -

Cat is the absolute BEST photographer and BEST person!! She did both our engagement and wedding photos and we in awe of her talent! She is so personable and was always so responsive during the wedding planning process. We are so impressed with how she captured the most beautiful moments from our day. The best part was that we had sneak peaks within a day and all of our wedding photos soon after that! I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone and CANNOT wait to hire her again in the future!! -

Tami Sent on 05/25/2021Catalina is everything you need for your wedding
We booked Catalina and as soon as we met knew it was a perfect fit! Our engagement shoot in 2019 was in a sunflower field, she made us feel so comfortable and truly captured the essence of our personalities in every shot! Our wedding day was no different, she was efficient and always one step ahead for everything we had planned. She got every shot we wanted and again, captured our relationship and personalities to perfection! She is incredibly sweet and soo talented. Cat was so accommodating when we had to postpone and was a vendor we didn’t want to lose when we had to change our date. Thankfully it all worked out! We will be using Catalina for any of our photography needs forever! -

Jenna Sent on 04/13/2021The best photographer!
Where do I even start with Catalina?! She was amazing! Hands down the best photographer that you could hire. She is so nice and professional. She is on time & knows what she is doing. Her photos are gorgeous. She knows how to wrangle a crowd & knows what positions will look best for photos. She was so reasonably priced too. She drove all the way out to the Finger Lakes for us & we are just in awe. The photos are beautiful. She is so talented. We would not have wanted anyone else capturing our special day. She is a godsend. That night she even sent us a sneak peak & had so many of our photos back to us so quickly. She is the best, everyone needs to hire her. She has such a gift. Thank you so much for making our day amazing Catalina! -

I am so grateful that Catalina and her team captured my magical wedding day. My husband and I felt so confident and comfortable when photos were being taken of us and of the venue. Catalina and her team truly cared about our special day and made sure we got all the photos that we wanted. I know most brides, including myself, get anxious to see the photos. With Catalina’s quick editing skills, she turned them around in no time! The photos came out absolutely beautiful. To be honest, I still can’t pick out my favorite photo because they are all too good! Highly recommend!! -

I actually came across Catalina on Instagram, of all places! I was impressed by sample of photograph on her instagram page and scheduled a consultation. From the first meeting, I instantly trusted her and could already tell she was going to a breeze to work with! She showed up on wedding day well on time and ready to roll (pun intended).
She had eye on every little details, giving us directions and suggestions (This was a huge plus for us as we can be camera shy). She made sure to take all of our requested shots and then some. Some of our favorite photographs are actually the ones she suggested.
My married friends have had horrible experiences with their photographers ghosting them after the wedding and not being able to get pictures well after a year post. Catalina exceeded expectation on this deliverable and produced soft versions of edited pictures within 10 days after the wedding. My husband and I are very pleased with the quality of the pictures themselves and was super happy to relive some of our favorite wedding moments through still pictures.
I have recommended her to every single one of my recently engaged friends and simply cannot Recommend her enough! -

Highly recommend!
Catalina did an amazing job for our wedding on November 3rd. She was very professional and made sure to get all of the shots on my list. We booked with her after seeing the amazing work she did for our friends wedding. Her pricing is also very reasonable for the beautiful pictures she takes. She even sent me a sneak peek (36 pictures) the morning after our wedding. I can’t wait to see all of our pictures. I highly recommend her! -

Kelly Sent on 09/15/2019Phenomenal Photographer!
Catalina is by far the BEST photographer in the game. She was recommended to us by our close friends. They had found her for their upcoming wedding and told us that we would love her. They were right! We met with her and knew right away she was the perfect photographer for our big day. We booked her right after our meeting. From meeting with her we could tell she was down to earth, extremely talented, and passionate about her work! Throughout the whole process, Catalina was very responsive, patient, and professional. She is so sweet, but also assertive when taking pictures, which is the perfect mix! For our wedding, she had Sam as the second photographer. Sam was equally as amazing! Catalina and Sam were so fun to be around during the photos, it felt as if our good friends were taking our pictures! It was a blast working with them and our guests loved them as well! The end product is stunning. Catalina beautifully captures colors and makes them pop in the background of all her photos. She has an eye for details. Catalina also is extremely creative when it comes to angles, poses, and perception. Catalina is organized and time efficient. She made our day stress free and captured all of the moments perfectly. Our guests, bridal party, and family are raving about her and were so impressed with her work. Catalina surpassed our expectations and we could not have been happier to work with her on our big day! She is truly the BEST! -

Bonnie Sent on 08/05/2019Catalina is absolutely amazing!!! My wedding photographs are perfect
I first noticed Catalina's amazing photos on my wedding venue's review page - I immediately knew that she was MY wedding photographer! Thankfully, she was available :) She's very professional, positive, understanding, friendly, talented, flexible, and just an all around fun person. At our initial meeting, after getting to know each other, I showed her all my inspiration photos (many of which were taken by her at previous weddings) and she assured me that she could capture my vision. She stayed true to her word. Catalina really delivered on my wedding day: always being where I needed her to be - keeping me calm - making sure everything was on track - elegantly posing my husband and me - taking photo opportunities at every corner - always having a smile on her face - going above and beyond what's expected of her. I have so many beautiful photographs to remember my special day with, from the candid photos to the staged photos, I love them all. I'm so grateful that I hired Catalina because she's absolutely the most amazing wedding photographer!!! The quality of her photographs and service are unmatched. I highly recommend working with her -

Catalina was very quick to respond to our inquiries and was patient in answering all the questions we had. I love that she took her time to sit down with us and get to know us and our story. Her work is beautiful and I love her passion story and motivation behind her work. -

Amanda Sent on 12/14/2018Catalina fragroso is the best of the best.
Catalina is one of the nicest and sweetest people I know and she did an amazing job photographing our wedding. She takes her time getting every perfect shot that is imaginable and is so patient. On our wedding day we were running behind on our timeline and she was able to keep us all calm and get every shot I had asked her for. I had even sent her a pinterest board full of photos that I wanted to take on our wedding day and she constantly referenced the board to make sure I got all the shots I wanted. Catalina cares so much for her clients and you can see it throughout all of her work. She even captured a beautiful photo of my mom and sisters hugging each other and crying while my father and I are having our father-daughter dance. I was so immersed in that moment so it was hard to notice what was going on around me and she made sure to capture important moments like that so that I could see them later and be able to treasure them forever. Our wedding day went by in a blink of an eye and I am so thankful that we chose Catalina to capture our important day. We have so many beautiful photos to look back on and show our children one day thanks to Catalina. Book her now...I promise you won't regret it. -

Katie Sent on 12/12/2018Winter Wedding!
Catalina is wonderful to work with, my husband and I highly recommend her wedding photography services! We had a winter wedding, which can really limit your photo opportunities, but Catalina did an amazing job giving us a variety of beautiful photos that we will cherish forever! Catalina and her team go above and beyond (standing outside in 20-degree weather running around us with a sparkler) to capture candid moments as well as those family portraits. From a bride's perspective, my advice is to surround yourself with people who can remain calm, cool and collective on the big day because things will get crazy fast. Catalina's calmness and kindness in those chaotic moments really make all the difference on the big day! Thank you, Catalina! -

Catalina is an absolutely amazing photographer! My fiance and I needed someone to take our engagement photos, and I knew of Catalina from other friends who have used her before. She took so much time with my fiance and I during the shoot, and was very patient. She is so down to earth and loves what she does, which clearly shows in her work! The photos came out beautifully and we were so happy to use them on our save the dates! Thank you so much, Catalina! Emily & Eddie. -

We have had the privilege of knowing Catalina since college. Even in our first encounters with her as a sports photographer, you could see the magic in her work. It was no question when we got engaged and married that she would photograph our special day, and as expected, she surpassed our wildest dreams. Every detail of the day (and overall experience from engagement through wedding) was captured so true to who we are, with her vision that helped bring our story to life. On one of the hottest, ugliest days of the year, even after a major storm, she was able to capture such precious moments that allow us now to look back on our day and relive it all. Catalina genuinely cares about her couples— she takes time to get to know you, to know your story so that she can help enhance it on your special day. Since our wedding, she has taken newborn photos of our son, done first and second birthday photo shoots, done numerous family shoots, and even Christmas photos. She is so versatile and willing to go the extra mile to preserve those raw, genuine moments that make a love story so beautiful. -

Perfect Experience with Cat
Cat is an incredible wedding photographer who perfectly captured our January wedding. She was highly professional, calm, kind, and discrete during the ceremony and big moments. Her demeanor was was so positive and pleasant on our big day. Cat was equally as great to work with before and after, helping us choose a package, discussing the venue and what shots we didn’t want left out, and answering all of our questions. At the end, in addition to giving us all the photos on a flash drive, she made us an extremely high quality photo album book with our favorite shots that we are so in love with! We had an all around perfect experience using Cat as our wedding photographer. -

Catalina was absolutely fantastic! She was extremely professional. Catalina arrives early and ready to work. She really takes the time to capture every special moment with the most beautiful pictures possible. Chris and I have recommended Catalina to several friends for not just weddings but for other events as well. All of those who used her have exactly the same response that she is amazing, never a bad comment.
Chris and I so excited to book her for my next big event, which is coming quickly. As well as all other furture events!😁
Thank you so much for making our memories last a life time.

Carlos Sent on 12/11/2018The BEST of the BEST...you will find lots of "good" photographers but Catalina is GREAT!
If I could give Catalina stars for eternity, I would. She shot my engagement photos and wedding and is the absolute BEST. I've never been one to hold tons of sentimental value to photos...Catalina's work has me fall in love with my wife, my engagement, my wedding day, over and over again.
She captured it all and then some. She was tuned into what we wanted while adding her expertise in style and all the rest.
Literally couldn't see anyone else having taken care of us the way Cat did. -

Loren Sent on 12/11/2018Wedding photographer
We had first come to know Catalina a few years ago when we were looking for a photographer for our wedding which was two years out. We immediately knew we wanted to book with her upon meeting with her and seeing her amazing work. She is so down to earth and loves what she does, which is probably an understatement. We were supposed to meet at Starbucks and my fiancé and I went to the wrong location and Catalina laughed and said it’s fine and waited for us! Before we even had the chance to work with her we recommended her to our family and friends and had such positive feedback that we couldn’t wait for OUR day even more! And eventually our day came, July 14th 2018. It was perfect and Catalina had everything under control and had our preview pictures back to us in days. We love you Catalina!! Loren & Steven -
David Sent on 10/11/2018From the day we met Catalina, she was so wonderful to work with. She was very pleasant and professional and made us feel very calm the day of our wedding. Our pictures came out beautiful and she had so many different ideas. We've received SO many compliments on our photo album. She truly captured every great moment of our wedding day. My wife and I highly recommend using Catalina and her team!!!
