Who I am
A Hudson Valley based wedding and elopement photographer encouraging couples to follow their hearts.
I hold a special place in my heart for intimate weddings, destination weddings, elopements, and anything in nature.
I thrive off of positive energy and always promise to bring my own. For each couple I work with, I create a detailed timeline, pose list, and photo itinerary to ensure a smooth, relaxing, organized, and absolutely magical day. I’ve got a case of wanderlust and adore nature.
Let’s explore.

If I had a dollar for every time I was asked this questions, I would have HUNDREDS of dollars. My shortest answer is - go look at my portfolio. If the couples in my portfolio don't look awkward, neither will you, because almost all of them had the same exact concern.

“Hiring Caitlinn as our wedding photographer was the easiest and BEST decision that we made throughout the entire planning process. From the moment we met Caitlinn on the phone during our initial call, we instantly vibed. We could tell how passionate she was about her work and her energy shined. We did our engagement photos with Caitlinn and she made us feel so relaxed and we had so much fun. She captured the most beautiful photos I have ever seen.... until we received our wedding gallery!!!! Caitlinn and Laurel went absolutely above and beyond. They were able to capture every single moment of the day so beautifully. Despite the poor weather we had at the beginning of the day, they were still able to take such breathtaking photos that we will cherish forever. Caitlinn and Laurel are truly some of the most talented people I have ever met, and they helped make our day so so special with their talent, warmth, and passion. 1000000/10 recommend -- you NEED Caitlinn as your wedding photographer.”

“We are so thankful to have had Caitlinn as our wedding photographer. From the very first time I saw her photographs, I was obsessed. Not only is she insanely talented, but is one of the most genuinely wonderful people we’ve ever met. She made our wedding day a breeze.”

“Caitlinn and Laurel were fantastic to work with and made us feel really comfortable. The 2 hours of photos we did FLEW by as they had us at ease and comfortable, and the pictures are phenomenal. The two of them were very professional but made the whole experience so fun, even with it raining the entire time. Also during the rest of the evening I didn't even realize they were still there snapping away. They were so discrete during the reception and not obtrusive which was amazing!
The day after the wedding Caitlinn was able to send us 100 edited photos which was incredible and had us in tears at how good we looked. Overall I would just describe the photos as "warm" and "personal" which we absolutely love. 10/10 I highly recommend them!”
