Tara Sent on 12/13/2022Amazing & Talented Photographer
Catarina was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is talented, patient, creative and one of the nicest people! We felt very comfortable with Catarina right from the start and she answered all of our questions we had. She was very organized and detail oriented. Catarina did our engagement photo shoot and our wedding photos. She made us feel very comfortable and relaxed during pictures – my husband and I were a bit nervous at first but Catarina made us both feel super at ease. We are super grateful for Catarina and for all the amazing things she captured for us on our wedding day. Our photos turned out better than we could have ever hoped or imagined. Look no further and book Catarina! Highly recommended. -

Catarina was the easiest choice for our wedding photography!! We originally met her during a friends’ wedding that my husband was in, and he had the BEST experience as a groomsman working with her and her second shooter. Her style is light, airy, and timeless, which was exactly what we were looking for, and our photos came out even better than we could have imagined! Catarina was professional, patient, responsive, and organized throughout the entire planning process. Even more, she was personal, friendly, caring, and SO fun to work with, we truly had the best time with her and Katie!
On top of it all, the care and compassion that Catarina showed in accommodating a special request on our wedding day went above and beyond. My dad passed away a few years before my wedding, and we had asked if it would be possible to make a quick stop to visit him (the cemetery was on the way to our venue from the church) which she happily agreed to and took the most special photos. We couldn’t be more grateful for the time and effort she put in to making sure our wedding day was perfectly and beautifully captured! -

Molly Sent on 03/29/2026The best experience!
We had the absolute best experience with Catarina. She provided us with a complimentary engagement shoot and turned the photos around for us within one night. She also photographed our wedding (and dressed in our color scheme!!!) and we can’t thank her enough or be happier with the results. She returned our entire wedding album around within less than a week -I usually hear people don’t get their pictures back for months. She also remembered key small details we might have forgotten, like remembering to wear our wedding bands for our first look so that in all of our bridal party pictures before cocktail hour we had on our rings. She is great at her job and we couldn’t recommend her enough -

Catarina Olivia Photography is by far one of the best wedding, event, and special moments photographers. I really wanted light and airy photos for my summer wedding and her aesthetic fit that vision perfectly. From the day I started inquiring with her, Catarina was incredibly personable, professional, and easy to work with. She is also insanely sweet and a joy to be around. Catarina is also incredibly accommodating. Our photography package included an engagement session, and unfortunately, we were on a time-crunch to get it done because my husband and I were moving to Florida a couple of weeks after we booked her. It felt like every time we booked a date for the session, the weather had other plans and it down-poured. Because of Catarina and her willingness to take it day by day with the weather, we got it done 4 days before the move and I cannot thank her enough for that. Fast forward to our wedding and it was an absolute dream working with her. She had so many fun shot ideas, made sure my husband and I felt comfortable in front of the camera, and made sure we stayed on schedule to get all of the photos we wanted. Plus, we had ~100 sneak-peak photos before the weekend was over (I still have no idea where she finds the time)! I cannot recommend her enough and I’m so excited to continue to work with her for our special moments. -

Working with Catarina was an absolute dream. From the moment we booked her, she was professional, responsive, and made the whole process seamless. Our package included an engagement shoot, which was a great bonus. It gave us the chance to get comfortable in front of the camera and get to know Catarina before the big day. She guided us effortlessly, made us feel at ease, and the photos came out beautifully. They made me even more excited for the wedding day!
On our wedding day, Catarina showed up (very pregnant!) with the same energy, focus, and creativity she brought to our engagement shoot. I’m absolutely obsessed with how our wedding photos turned out. She sent us sneak peeks the very next morning, and somehow delivered our full gallery in under a month (which is almost unheard of, though I know she was heading out on maternity leave). Nevertheless, such a quick turnaround without compromising quality.
Catarina is not only incredibly talented, but also fun and calming to be around, which is so important when your photographer is with you all day. The second shooters she brought along were equally professional and a joy to work with. I’m so grateful Catarina was there to capture one of the best days of my life. I truly couldn’t recommend her enough.

Catarina was INCREDIBLE. I looked at 53 different photographers (not exaggerating) and she stood out for not only her shooting style (light, airy and romantic) but also her warmth, dependability and organization. She was so patient with me, captured our favorite moments AND had our sneak peals back to us LESS THAN 24 HOURS from our wedding. I love her so much, she made the best day of my life come to life. BOOK IMMEDIATELY. -

Lara Sent on 12/22/2024So excited to have Catarina as our photographer
We booked Catarina for our 2025 wedding. We were really happy by our choice, but having our complimentary mini engagement shoot back in September and seeing those amazing photos really amplified our excitement. Can't wait to see what she captures on our big day! -

Working with Catarina was one of the best decisions we could have made for our wedding day! When we were looking to book our engagement shoot, she was incredibly understanding of our busy schedules and was very flexible with us which we really appreciated! We ended up scheduling the shoot the week of the wedding and we had the full edited gallery back the very next day! During the wedding, Catarina made it a point to visit every table and take pictures of all of the guests during the reception. We really appreciated this and so did our friends and family members! We had our wedding sneak peeks back within 24 hours and our full gallery arrived less than a month later! Everyone is still raving about our photos and we have had such a hard time choosing favorites! Catarina is incredibly kind, sweet, and professional. She helps everyone feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera and we could not recommend her enough! -

I cannot recommend Catarina enough! She is not only the sweetest person, but also an incredibly professional and talented photographer. Catarina has been a part of some of the most special moments in my life, capturing my engagement, wedding, and boudoir sessions. Every time, she has exceeded my expectations with her stunning work. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera is truly remarkable. I am beyond thrilled with the beautiful photos she’s given me, and I know I’ll be working with her again in the future. If you're looking for someone who can capture your memories perfectly, Catarina is your go-to! -

Recommend so so so much !!
Catarina was absolutely amazing! I found her through a Google search and fell in love with her pictures. Everyone who sees the pictures says “wow your photographer did an amazing job” and I couldn’t agree more. Not only were they the most beautiful pictures but Catarina was so amazing to work with! We had numerous video chats to make sure we were on the same page. She also created a schedule which made taking pictures on our wedding day run fast and smooth! I cannot recommend her enough! The pictures are everything I could ask for and more! -

We hired Catarina to capture our wedding and we couldn’t have found a more perfect fit for us! We were very adamant about having a photographer with a light, airy, and romantic style that captured the real moments and joy of the wedding rather than a heavy focus on serious posed photos. Catarina 100% delivered!
From the very beginning Catarina was very responsive and genuine. She truly cares about each and every one of her couples. We loved working with her for our engagement shoot. Our photos came out beautiful and made us even more excited for the big day. Through the planning process Catarina was wonderful about checking in and meeting with us to go over our shot list and timeline and making sure every detail we wanted was going to be included.
Then on the big day Catarina and her team came with the absolute best and most positive attitude. Everything went so perfectly smooth and our day was beautifully calm. The next day our guests kept saying how wonderful the photographers were and did a great job of getting all the shots without being in the way. We got our sneak peeks the next day and needless to stay we were hooked! Catarina captured the joy and true happiness of the day perfectly. She did a wonderful job of capturing us as a couple. I can’t thank Catarina enough for her wonderful work. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone and everyone. -

Incredible Photographer!
I came across Catarina’s photography portfolio on Instagram and website, which speaks for itself. She shows meticulous attention to detail and has the photography style I gravitate towards. What started out as a quick email of inquiry turned into a special bond.
My husband and I are both deaf and rely heavily on lipreading, which can make certain situations difficult especially during the pandemic. Catarina made it easy and effortless for us to understand her, which made the whole process much less stressful. She always remembered to move her face away from behind the camera so we could understand what was being said.
With my husband being an introvert and shy in front of a camera, he was expecting to “pose, grin, and bear it.” The actual experience was the opposite and intimate. Catarina navigated our photo sessions and made us look candid and effortless in the pictures. She suggested poses and actions in a way that made me feel natural and beautiful. Our senior dog warmed up to her pretty quickly too, which says a lot!
Catarina was always attentive and communicative. With her helpful guidance, we received her wedding day timeline which we shared with other vendors. They all expressed how helpful her timeline was. Catarina would outline the exact steps that would happen next, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel reassured knowing we were guided by a true professional. Every communication reminded me that Catarina cared, listened, and was flexible. She was always responsive to my endless questions and concerns.
She designed a beautiful ornament to memorialize our first Christmas together as a married couple. When our dog passed away, she sent us a thoughtful and touching gift that memorialized our furry companion. It’s those little things that shows she truly cares. She was also the first person to text me on the morning of our wedding day wishing me well and how much she looked forward to seeing us.
Catarina and I have grown close over the course of the year from the beginning of our engagement up to our wedding day and beyond. We look forward to continuing our relationship together as we reach more milestones.
I don’t know where else you would be able to find a rare gem like Catarina. -

Christine Sent on 12/13/2022Gracious, kind, and exceeded expectations
Could not have asked for a better photographer! Catarina and I met up in person a couple months after I booked her to go over what I was looking for. We then had our engagement session with her which made me even more excited for the wedding photos! The engagement photos were perfect (even though we were having a cold spell and was windy).
Come the wedding day Catarina was on time and started working right away. She had given me a list ahead of time of what to keep out for prep photos and she took care of the rest. I cannot get over how wonderful and gorgeous my photos are. We are a very relaxed and goofy couple and she captured that perfectly while also providing some more structured and formal photos. Her second shooter Richel was also incredible and brought some fun into the mix with her upbeat personality.
I would hire Catarina again in a heartbeat for my wedding. I've already begun hanging up photos around my home and making gifts for our closest loved ones. -
