    Quit looking and choose Sean!

    He was so personable, kind and took breathtaking photos for our elopement. He was very easy to work with and suggested amazing places to take photos as we are from Kansas and didn’t know where to go! He made this experience a breeze. We live 6 hours away and would definitely work with him again!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Wow! Your review makes my day, week, and month! Thank you so much Jessica! I loved your day.You got sun and snow. City and mountains. And your man in a uniform 😉Couldn’t have been any better😍

    Beyond grateful!

    Sean captured our wedding day beautifully!

    While most photographers are looking for “photos” he captured moments, the most meaningful moments of that day. I never thought it was possible to capture a feeling in a photo, but he was able to.

    We are forever grateful and could not have asked for a more thoughtful photographer! He is kind, funny, quirky, and extremely creative! He was an excellent choice for us. Our wedding day went by so quickly. My husband and I felt sad that we missed out on so much, but after seeing all the photos Sean captured, we can relive that day forever!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Daniella, thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing review. I'm so glad you're enjoying your wedding pictures and that you can "feel" the day! That's the goal and your kind words mean the world to me.

    Wonderful experience!

    Sean did our wedding in September of 2023 and he was amazing! He showed up early and made sure we got every picture we requested and more! We are not very comfortable when getting our pictures taken, but he was able to guide us and made the whole experience enjoyable. I could not be happier and would definitely book with Sean again!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    You’re the best Meghan! I had so much fun photographing your wedding day. Plus, you made creating an album so fun. Rarely do I have a couple who is easy to work with and makes decisions quickly. I can’t wait for you to get your book! It’s already on its way:) Thx again Meghan!

    Best Choice for Wedding Photography!

    Planning a wedding in Colorado from out-of-state, we contacted Cayton Photography as our first choice for photo services. We couldn't have chosen any better! From the start, Sean was friendly and accommodating. He captured all of our memorable wedding moments. On the morning of our wedding when rain threatened our original ceremony site, Sean called and suggested an alternate location. Turns out we loved that location more than our original choice. After the ceremony, Sean knew where to go for the photos that would complete capturing our special day.

    We highly recommend you contact Sean for your wedding photo needs!

    There isn't a better choice!

    Having Sean as a photographer was the best decision I made for my whole wedding. He is so friendly, calm, and supportive. My husband and I are super awkward and never take photos. Sean has so many great ideas and makes you feel super comfortable the whole day. Everyone at the wedding commented on how great he was. If you are planning things yourself and need help he gives great advice on what to think about before the wedding. His amazing experience shines through at every angle. In the world of wedding planning where no one ever responds to you, Sean always had a timely response to any questions and had our pictures ready so much quicker than many of my friends who recently had weddings as well with different photographers. I'm the slow one trying to figure out which to put in the album and what larger prints I want to order because they are all so beautiful!!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Oh my goodness Laina! Thank you for your review! I was stunned to read it. I had so much fun and I'm so glad you're thrilled with your pictures AND the experience! It means the world to me!

    Just Awesome

    Sean was great to work with, he made the whole experience fun. He was flexible with what we were envisioning, traveling to a different location for pictures. The pictures turned out awesome.

    Jess, thank you so much for your kind words. I had a lot of fun on your wedding day. Your theme was amazing:)

    A perfect wedding photographer!

    I rarely take the time to write reviews, but I could not pass up the opportunity to share my thoughts on Cayton Photography. I am the mother of the bride and was the one who chose Cayton Photography. I have to say that out of all the myriad of vendors that had to be hired for the wedding, this choice was the absolute best one I made!! Sean was always very responsive to my many questions and could not have been more professional and amazing. He was on-time, and blended into the day so well. He not only took all the portraits we had requested, but so many others that were so unique and really captured the beauty of the day---not only the people but the gorgeous Colorado mountains as a backdrop. He was artistic and the photos were unbelievable! And yet, he remained in the background and did not intrude on the day by requiring the bride and groom to spend way too much of their time being photographed at the expense of actually enjoying their special day! Sean captured all the moments in just the right way! He really is a phenomenal wedding photographer, and I would give him 10 stars if I could!!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Cindy, Wow. I'm blown away by your note. I appreciate your kind words. Your daughter's wedding day was fabulous and I'm so glad I could be there to help document the day and create memories for you and your families. Much love!

    Great photographer

    Sean has a great positive energy, sense of humor, and personality that makes taking photos a fun experience. He is a true professional and has years of experience, and this was apparent in how he directed us into poses like it was second-nature for him. Our photos turned out perfect and we are having trouble narrowing down our favorites because they are all so good.

    Sean was super responsive and easy to get ahold of from our initial contact to when he reached out to let us know the weather forecast looked bad and we may want to reschedule our wedding photos. He was super helpful in choosing a location and preparing us, and overall just great to work with. You will be beyond happy with your wedding photos and photo-taking experience if you go with Sean, could not recommend more.

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Above and beyond Rick. Thank you so much for your review. It blows me away. I had so much fun photographing you guys on top of Pikes Peak. The photos are already on my web site! You guys are the best. Safe travels in your deployment Rick. Thank you for your service!

    Photography at it's best

    Planning a last-minute elopement due to the pandemic in a destination you have never been to, has many variables that can make you nervous. However, the minute we connected with Sean he made the whole process seem so easy. He was available for any pre-conversations we wanted to have and gave us an immediate sense of trust and reassurance he would be the right photographer to capture our wedding. The moment he arrived at the ceremony site he was personable and gave incredible direction, something my fiancé and I needed. During the ceremony I hardly even knew he was there, but the pictures of our ceremony captured each special look and gesture we made. After the ceremony Sean knew exactly what to do and where to go, in less than a couple hours we had more incredible photos than I knew what to do with. I am so grateful to Sean for truly capturing the genuine moments we had and his eye for the perfect shot left me in awe. His talent is truly remarkable and made our special day more memorable and now we have the proofs to prove what an incredible day it really was. I would recommend Sean to anyone for a wedding photographer, he took the plane old traditional photos and made them unique and interesting. Thank you Sean!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Taryn, thank you so much for your wonderful review! It made my day to read it:) I also got you print order and will be getting that sent out shortly. I so appreciate your kind words Taryn. Thank you!

    Great Photos!

    Sean did a great job photographing our wedding in Manitou Springs! He had a lot of great ideas for photos and got some really creative shots that I never would have thought of. Sean is very friendly and upbeat, and he made sure we got every photo we needed, and then some! Highly recommend Cayton Photography.

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Lauren. I loved your wedding and meeting your families! The location and day was a dream:) Congrats! - Sean

    So happy we chose Cayton Photography

    Sean Cayton was going to photograph our wedding in August 2020 but it was postponed to last weekend, Sept 2021. He has been a pleasure to work with from the engagement photos, rescheduling the wedding date, on the actual wedding day, and now receiving our photos. He captured every shot we requested, and many more that we didn't think or know to ask for. He immediately put us (the bride and groom) and our family and friends at ease. He was always there capturing the moments without being overbearing. We received the photos quickly and were blown away at the quality and creativity. We would recommend Cayton Photography and are so thankful for Sean!

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Natali, Thank you so, so much. I was so thrilled to be a part of your wedding day and it was a long time coming! You're both so wonderful. Congratulations again!

    Talented photographer, went above and beyond!

    I started talking to Sean about doing photography for our wedding just before COVID-19 hit the globe, while I was living over in England. He was extremely responsive and always personable. Due to the pandemic we had to postpone our wedding for 1 year, but the process was pretty seamless. I failed to communicate that I wanted extra hours covered at the wedding but Sean agreed to stay late even though he had driven an hour down from Colorado Springs already and it was late. Beyond being an extremely talented photographer, he was easy going and so kind to everyone at the wedding. Sean is flexible and intuitive and gets everyone to have a good time. You are in the best hands if you choose him as your photographer.

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Catherine, Thank you so, so, so much. It was worth the wait! I loved your wedding day. Fabulous location, fabulous families, fabulous couple. It doesn't get any better than that:) Thank you again Catherine!

    Grade A Experience

    Getting married during a pandemic can be quite stressful. Sean was amazing from start to finish and eased my mind in so many ways. Of all my vendors, he was the most responsive and timely leading up to the wedding. He showed up early, was interactive, professional and kind throughout the whole day. My wedding guests kept commenting on how much they liked Sean. After the wedding, we had to narrow our selection down to 400 images and I thought that was going to be easy. The photos were so amazing it was very hard to narrow it down to 400 images. He captured the entire day perfectly. We have an amazing selection of candid images and posed images. I also accidentally put in the wrong shipping address for our images to be sent and Sean hand delivered our package. I am looking for a way we can use Sean in the future.

    Cayton Photography's reply:

    Gosh Alyssa, thank you so much for your kind words! I thought your wedding was wonderful and I was so impressed by how flexible you all were. What a treat to be able to photograph a neighbors wedding:) Thank you again Alyssa and I look forward to seeing you soon!

    Amazing!!!

    Sean did an absolutely amazing job with our wedding photos! My wife and I eloped in April, and Sean was really able to capture the magic and emotion of our special day. He was very open to any of our suggestions, while also bringing his own narrative and creative vision to the photos. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get professional wedding photos taken! Thanks Sean!

    Amazing Photographer! Gorgeous Photography!

    Sean was our wedding photographer and we couldn’t have been happier! His laid back approach was so calming as the bride. I’ve been part of weddings where the photographer has been rushing everyone and rushing shots to get everything in, and it makes for such a stressful time! Sean makes you feel comfortable always, and never rushed us. We ended up with hundreds and hundreds of gorgeous shots to choose from. My new husband said he had the most fun with Sean than any other photographer we’ve used! And his pricing is more than reasonable compared to his competitors. I would recommend Sean over and over again!

    Mara, thank you so much for your kind words. Your parents backyard was perfect spot for your wedding! I loved ALL of your special touches and you couldn't have had a nicer day:) Thank you again Mara!

    Wonderful photographer!

    Sean was wonderful to work with! He makes himself easily available and answered all of the many questions that we had. He knew our venue in and out, and took some amazing shots that we would have never had without his intricate knowledge. He is energetic and focused, and makes the entire photo shoot process so much fun. Our engagement and wedding photos were incredible, and Sean was a huge part of making our wedding a success. We would recommend him to anybody looking for stylish wedding photos. Thanks again Sean!

    Amazing photos and a wonderful person

    Photography was one of the most important items for me at our wedding and we could not have asked for a better photographer in Sean! He captured the feelings, the expressions, the joy of being surrounded by loved ones - all in perfectly framed shots. Sean's easygoing manner put everyone at ease and working with him (especially from out of state and during rapidly changing wedding plans) was a breeze. I can recommend using Sean to capture a special moment with the highest degree of confidence in the professionalism and in the photos.

    WOW Lauren! Thanks so much for your kinds words. I've got the changes to your album via email and will get that done in short order. So great to hear how much you're enjoying your pictures! — Sean
