What People Are Saying
“It’s almost hard to write this review because we are still genuinely speechless about how incredible Caitlinn and Laurel were. They truly made our day special. Caitlinn delivered the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. Looking at them it’s hard to believe it’s us. Caitlinn is one of those people that immediately makes you feel comfortable, and it’s truly an honor to spend such a magical day with her. She is also hilarious and so much fun. She has such a warm, silly, and engaging energy that made posing for pictures easy and truly relaxing. She genuinely cares about making such an important day so special, and works not just for you, but with you. Caitlinn’s style makes the pictures feel like you are reliving them as memories. The way the colors pop and the moments are captured brings both of us straight back to our favorite day.
Caitlinn brought Laurel with her to help shoot, and they were also incredible to work with. We were nervous to be in front of the camera, and they were so disarming and kind, and guided us seemingly effortlessly from their end. It was so comforting knowing we didn’t have to know how to pose or stand or where to be, and they not only directed well but the pictures are beyond what we could have hoped for.
All we can really say is you should run to book Caitlinn for such an important day. And from the bottom of our hearts thank you Caitlinn for being you, we love you!”
