    We met Janel Conlan & Focus Photography Inc through our wedding coordinators. Janel made photo taking so easy & comfortable for us first timers :) We actually chose a very busy location on a very hot summer day for our engagement photos & had a blast taking pictures. We LOVED our engagement pictures!! Janel was beyond patient & professionally fast & creative :) A perfect pre-show to our wedding day picture taking. We had a very large wedding party & opted to do a first look. Janel & her team coordinated time so well we had a chance for our special & intimate reveal, take traditional & fun pictures w/ our wedding party & still made it on time to the ceremony. All while laughing & having a great time. We cannot thank you enough Janel! Can't wait to see our wedding photos & video :)

    Where do I even begin?? Janel is absolutely amazing!! She is so awesome to work with and makes the entire process so much fun! She is so sweet and was so helpful with everything - which is so important on your wedding day! And the engagement photos were also blast to take. I'm so happy I found Focus Photography, I couldn't imagine having anyone else for my big day! The photos turned out stunning and something that I will always cherish for years to come. And I am so happy that we hired them for video too - I've watched my video over and over and I still can't get enough of it. Anna did such an awesome job - it's like I'm reliving those moments! I will definitely be hiring her in the future for other photo ops :)

    I cannot thank Janel and Caitlin enough for our amazing photos. My husband and I are totally over the moon!! Janel and Caitlin captured the very essence of the Bahamas and of our happiness in every photo and actually managed to make me photogenic! The photographs are everything I could have hoped for and more - each time I look at them - they take my breath away. I was in touch with Janel and from the beginning she was responsive, friendly and extremely professional. On the day, Janel and Caitlin were FANTASTIC - they helped to calm our nerves, fix my veil, offer guidance (10 minutes before the ceremony!!) when/how to walk down the aisle, attached my husband's boutonniere when he didn't have a clue! These were just some of the examples of how they went out of their way to help us on the day. Throughout the ceremony, they were fun, discreet and again, professional. Choosing Focus Photo Inc was one of the best decisions we could have made for our destination wedding. We would wholeheartedly highly recommend them - YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

    Focus Photography is absolutely amazing!!! They were incredibly responsive and made me feel totally at ease, especially on our wedding day! Not only are they the coolest people, they are also the most talented photographers... I freaked Out when I saw our pictures (in a good way!) i couldn't believe how breathtakingly and beautifully they had captured so many special moments in our wedding! I would recommend Focus Photography to everyone, for everything!!

    Hiring Caitlin from Focus Photography Inc. was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding! I have received numerous compliments on our photos, and have made 3 recommendations to friends! The style of photography is funky, fresh, and different than the rest.....just what I was looking for. Not to mention that Caitlin, Janel and Maria were exceptional to work with! Professional, on time, talented, easy going, and fun are just a few words to describe the staff! I will surely use Focus Photography Inc. for my future events!

    I stumbled across Focus photography after endless hours of wedding photographer research. Their style was exactly what I was looking for, vintage and modern.
    On my wedding day, Caitlin and her helper took the most beautiful pictures. I’m soo glad we hired them and not the other guy who was a few bucks cheaper. I highly recommend them and.. I think my review’s really not necessary because their photos speak for themselves. I love love my photos!

    After spending hours browsing through the websites of many different photographers for my wedding, I came across Focus Photography and knew they were exactly what I was looking for. Their style is fresh, funky, but still has a timeless look, and with their unique editing style, the finished product is worthy of an editorial in a magazine
    .
    We hired Janel and Caitlin for our wedding, and our package also included an engagement session and a boudoir session (my husband only found that one out on our wedding day!) All three sessions with the girls were a TON of fun - Janel and Caitlin are a perfect balance of professional, talented, and fun to be around.

    By the time our wedding day came these two felt like old friends, and my husband and I had a great time shooting with them throughout our big day. They are very efficient, reliable, and timely, all the while full of great ideas and creative angles, and they make it super comfortable to be in front of the camera. (A very important trait in a photographer!)

    I can't say enough good things about these two, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

    Caitlin Cathey Photography took some boudoir photographs for my 2 yr anniversary with my boyfriend. She was very patient and made me feel very comfortable. The photographs turned out great!

    My sister and her husband recently celebrated 50 years of marriage. Their children provided a surprise party; Caitlin Cathey Photography captured the entire event on film. The photos are remarkable. Not only were the "special moments" of the celebration captured, but I believe each guest was at some point filmed. Caitlin's service will provide cherished memories for my sister and her family. In addition to event photos, family photos were taken; to say we are exceptionally pleased with these photos feels somewhat understated. An exceptional job, Caitlin! I was a very pleased consumer of the quality service Caitlin Cathey Photography provided and would highly recommend her services---prompt, professional, unobtrusive, coupled with timely follow-through. The complete package at a very reasonable rate! I would definitely use her again!

    Focus Photo Inc is amazing!! An artist cannot paint the same picture twice and these talented photographers provide memorable photos that are invisible to our eyes but not to their cameras. They are the most flexible people to work with and consider the environment, age, culture and demographics. Focus Photo do not just capture people and moments but every photograph speaks with emotion. These photographers are the only ones in the industry who are capable of building relationships with their clients and stay friends forever after. After your once in a lifetime wedding, Focus Photo will provide you with memories and emotions you can relive every day for the rest of your life. For those concerned with pricing as a top priority, you just struck gold. I am ready to get divorced only so that I can have another wedding to hire these girls for :)

    Focus was really great for us. Janel and Caitlin are both very smart and talented. They were very creative and inventive with the shots they took, and the photos turned out amazing. My wife and I are so happy we picked Focus for our wedding.

    Caitlin knew exactly what we wanted and it was as if she wasn't even there! We never felt like she was hounding us for photos, so when we got the final portfolio we were amazed with all the wonderful photos.

    I had the pleasure of working with Caitlin for my boudoir shoot last year. She made me feel very comfortable and beautiful! She was very knowledgeable of the lighting and angels that made my photos turn out great. Caitlin was very responsive when it came to editing the photos and choosing the layout of my album. I plan to use the ladies of Focus Photography for all of my future photo needs. I highly recommend this company for their fabulous combination of value, creativity and expertise!

    Janel is amazing; simply put! My mom is a photographer and she always told me that there are really only three things that will last forever after your wedding day; your husband, your ring and your photos (your memories will go at some point... Hahaha...). Because of this we really researched our wedding photographer and are so happy that we picked Focus Photography, Inc. Her and her assistant caught photos and moments that we didn't see and that is exactly why we chose them. You will not regret your choice if you go with Janel!

    If it gives you and indication of how much we loved their photographs, my husband and I are expecting and we will be using Janel for our maternity shots and all of our baby's professional pictures!

    Let me just start off by saying that my wife and I are very camera shy. Janel at Focus Photo was very relaxing and made us feel comfortable when having our photos taken. She was on time and from what I have heard is very reasonable when it comes to wedding photographers. If you're looking for someone who can not only take great photos but can enhance the photos to give them an artsy feel to them so they don't end up looking like everyone elses, then this is your girl. My wife and I are REALLY happy with our photos and would use Janel again for future baby/family photos ;)

    We had a hard time trying to decide on a photographer... it was by far the most important of our decisions since photos were definitely #1 on my list of priorities. We found Janel and she was so helpful and informative as well as quick to reply to all of our questions. Her turn around time on our albums and prints was from what I hear pretty unheard of as well. We have referred her to many of our friends and they have said the same thing. A complete professional and a pleasure to work with as well, she really made us feel comfortable and it shows in our photos! I also recommend getting an album - it's worth the $$!!

    Janel was fabulous! She took our engagement and wedding pictures. My husband and I weren't used to having our picture taken, but she made us feel comfortable and our pictures turned out very natural. Janel was professional and flexbile too. She had great ideas for creative photographs and we were completely thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend her!

    Great photographer, very quick, unobtrusive and flexible with our needs. We loved our photos and have hired her since to do some commercial work for us as well. We would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer with an artistic edge yet versatile enough to capture the specific requests whether traditional or candid.
