Caitlin Lisa Photography

Choosing Caitlin was easily the best decision we made. Having beautiful timeless photographs was very important to us, but we also wanted to make sure we clicked with the person we would spend all day with. Caitlin is very talented, friendly, professional, responsive, and easy going. We did not have a day of wedding coordinator so Caitlin helped drive the timeline for the day, and everything was seamless all day. We were comfortable with her and trusted her judgement as a professional and it shows - our wedding (and engagement) photos are beautiful!

Caitlin photographed our wedding in September and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out. Both Caitlin and her second photographer Sebastian were amazing to work with through the whole process, from engagement photos to our wedding day during a pandemic. They kept us track throughout the day and made sure we got perfect photos, and we've received so many compliments on all of our pictures already. We can't recommend her enough!

Caitlyn's calm, reassuring confidence on Sara's wedding day was exactly what the group needed. She was great at keeping us on schedule and directing us to get the best shots of the wedding party. All of the photos turned out beautifully! Any bride and groom would be lucky to have Caitlyn on their big day.

We were so happy that we decided to work with Caitlin Lisa. She made us feel at ease on our wedding day and made taking photos fun. We love our wedding photos so much!

Where do I start? Having Caitlin as our photographer was truly the best decision we made for our wedding! Not only are her photos just beautiful, but her cool calm and organized nature was everything we needed on our wedding day. I felt like I had known her forever and was so comfortable with her and Sebastian throughout the whole day. She made sure we got every photo wanted and more, always had helpful suggestions, and kept us on track throughout the day while making sure we had plenty of time to relax. Our wedding party couldn’t believe how great she was. She is truly the best. We heart you Caitlin!

This review is long overdue but we loved working with Caitlin for our December wedding. We decided not to do engagement photos and were nervous about our wedding being the first time we had professional photos but Caitlin made us feel comfortable the whole time. We are so happy with our wedding photos and have received so many compliments about Caitlin's editing style!

Since our first meeting, Caitlin has been the picture of professionalism. Her descriptive portfolio presentation was on point. She always responded to our questions within a reasonable amount of time. For engagement photos she was a great coach! She referred us to our wedding planner, which in hindsight was probably one of the most important decisions we made in making sure everything would come together in the weeks leading up to the wedding. This may sound like things that others would write of a photographer, but Caitlin Really does have an eye for capturing moments throughout your special day. We have zero regrets. It wouldn't have been the wonderful day that it was, without her.

I would recommend Caitlin a million times over. After meeting with her initially and seeing her portfolio, I didn't even bother meeting with any other photographers. Not only does she take amazing pictures, but she is so fun and laid back, which makes you feel at ease in front of the camera and makes the process so much better. The weather didn't cooperate with us on our wedding day, but Caitlin was prepared with multiple (and creative) back up locations. She took control of the situation so I could focus on my wedding day and not worry about the logistics at all - and the pictures look great!!

Caitlin was the first vendor we booked after picking our venue and wedding date - choosing her was the easiest decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process! If she is on your radar and she is available on your desired date, do NOT hesitate to book her!  Caitlin has an amazing gift and capability for capturing the emotion in her photos. Her eye utilizing natural light is breathtaking and provides a pure and airy, yet warm and romantic ambiance to her photos. She is incredibly responsive to emails as well as questions and concerns; she is a straight shooter when it comes to giving brides/grooms her best advice on planning for your wedding day in terms of effortlessly capturing all the desired photos - she really makes sure no desired family/friend photo combo is forgotten! Would also like to mention that she completely assuaged our in-front-of-the-camera-nerves during our engagement photo shoot - it was as if she was an old friend the moment we met her, she's just so easy to feel at ease with.  Overall, 10 out of 10 times would recommend to anyone to book Caitlin; perhaps once we start building our family we will utilize her services again!

Caitlin was AMAZING! From our first coffee meeting to our wedding day she was so easy to work with and made us feel comfortable in all of our photos. Our photos came back (way ahead of schedule) and they are perfect- she captured all of our important moments. Would definitely recommend her to anyone getting married!

Caitlin (and her second photographer Sebastian) MADE our wedding! From the engagement shoot to the wedding, she made the process so easy, was so fun to be around and captured seriously the most STUNNING photos! I'm having such a hard time culling down for our book (which is part of her package - such a bonus!) because there are 1,600 that all belong in a book. She didn't miss a single detail. Can't recommend her enough - and get that extra hour added on to the package if you want the most fun dance floor shots ever!

I love our wedding photos so much and I am so thankful we decided to use Caitlin as our photographer. Her aesthetic perfectly captured every moment. It’s going to be hard to decide which engagement photos to replace with our wedding photos because we love them all. Caitlin provided insightful guidance leading up to the wedding for everything from a photography timeline to what time of day to be at the best locations. She is professional yet laid back, you almost forget she is there but she is present to capture every memorable second.

I have so many positive things to say about Caitlin I am not sure where to start! We are so pleased with both our wedding photos and our engagement photos. They will be photos we treasure our entire lives. Caitlin creates a comfortable and casual vibe that in turn results in candid, emotional and unforced photos. She is not only incredibly professional and talented but also extremely fun to work with. The little touches and details she puts into her work shine through and go above and beyond everyone else in the industry. Save yourself the agony and hire Caitlin. You will not regret it!

Caitlin was AMAZING to work with! From our first meeting with her, to our engagement photos, to our wedding day she was always really attentive and helpful. I fell in love with her editing style and knew right away that she was the perfect person to capture our big day. Our wedding photos came back completely stunning and we have gotten countless compliments on them! She made sure we got all of the photos we wanted and we couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Would recommend her to anyone getting married!

Hiring Caitlin was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. She is talented, professional, and personable and I'd choose her again in a heartbeat. Caitlin has a keen, trained eye and an attention for detail that is recognizable before you even meet her: I never saw a single photo that was unintentionally out of focus on her curated Knot page, website, or blog (which is not something that can be said for everyone). She knows how to capture and frame a moment. She was a joy to work with and made me feel so comfortable. She knew I had reservations about getting my dress dirty in the April rain/snow, but also knew I would want snowy photos, so she counted the steps to a few spots which made spontaneous decisions much less scary and a lot easier to prepare for. The photos of us walking through the streets with umbrellas are some of my favorites. She goes above and beyond the call of duty, takes unforgettable photos, and is such a wonderful person! Thanks to Caitlin Lisa Photography for the perfect engagement and wedding photos!

Booking Caitlin as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made in terms of wedding planning! She is seriously SO talented. We just received our wedding photos back last week (way ahead of schedule, by the way!) and I can't stop looking through them. I have no clue how we're going to decide which ones to frame. Not only is she super talented, but she also is so fun! She made all of us so comfortable to be around on an otherwise stressful day. We had such a blast with her! Sebastian, her second shooter, is also really great! I love that her pricing includes a second photographer because it really allows for a wide variety of photos from the day. She was incredibly responsive to my numerous emails leading up to our big day, and she even helped me nail down a good timeline for the day to make sure we wouldn't be running behind. 10/10 would recommend!! Book her!

Caitlin Lisa Photography is amazing!! She was super communicative prior to our wedding day, and eased every stress we had timeline-wise. She was so fun to work with and super professional from start to finish. She made everything go so smoothly. Half of my extended family exited the ceremony too early before we could get photos, so she made sure to pull them aside for group pictures during cocktail hour which we appreciated so much. Our wedding photos are absolutely beautiful, and nearly every image is frame-worthy! Cannot recommend Caitlin enough.

Caitlin is amazing! We were extremely happy working with her from the time we booked our engagement shoot, through the wedding and receiving our images from the big day (all of which we were thrilled with). First off, she made us feel very comfortable with the whole process - explaining what to expect every step of the way, and was very responsive to questions. Caitlin recommended great locations for our shots, and was also flexible with our ideas for a few special spots near our home on the wedding day, which we appreciated. We were impressed with Caitlin's attention to detail from our first meeting. She is very organized and attuned to the details that count. On top of it all, she was very kind, as well as her second shooter Sebastian, even through the stress of fitting everything into a hectic day and wrangling a lot of people. Everyone felt at ease throughout the day and Caitlin did a great job of injecting humor while expertly keeping things moving and on schedule! She went above and beyond to be sure we had all the right shots, even "on the fly." Overall, hiring Caitlin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I would highly recommend Caitlin Lisa Photography to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about Caitlin! She is professional, down to earth, and has a real talent for taking beautiful shots. My husband and I used her for our engagement photos and wedding day, and I have zero regrets. She traveled over an hour from the city to drive around the country looking for scenic settings to take our pictures (that is dedication :) ). We even got our wedding pictures back within a week of getting married - I could not believe it! We are in love with how she captured our day!

Caitlin is one of the most talented wedding photographers I’ve ever seen. Her shots are true to each couples’ personalities and unique, but nothing too out there. Her editing gives each picture a clean glow and we cannot wait to print our wedding photos to display in our place! It was for these reasons that we decided (read: I begged my fiancé) to break the budget and hire Caitlin. She is organized and easy to communicate with, super easy to be around, and felt like one of our closest friends by the end of the engagement session. Unfortunately, it rained during our two hour window to take bridal party photos. I was disappointed with the lack of problem solving that happened in response to the rain. As a result, the majority of our photos were taken inside the ceremony and reception venue; and a number of photos were not take at all—including a very important family photo. Given the chance, I would hire Caitlin again, but I caution brides to be VERY thorough in your photography shot list AND assign a bridesmaid to check it throughout the day. I included many details in the shot list, but some were still overlooked.

I cannot recommend Caitlin enough! From our first meeting to the engagement photo session and then all the way through the end of our wedding, Caitlin was on top of everything. She was accessible, friendly and honest whenever we had questions/concerns throughout the entire process. It was so easy to work with her and I felt really comfortable letting her take our wedding photo visions and run with it. Sebastian was awesome too and all my groomsmen felt at ease with him around while we were getting ready. Plus, they were both fun to be around. In all honesty, you’d get a lot of value for your money just from the enjoyable and professional experience of working with Caitlin Lisa Photography but the photos are next level beautiful. We love our photos and we keep hearing rave reviews from our friends and family. The look on my wife’s face when she first opened the photos is something I’ll never forget. I can’t wait to keep relieving our day through Caitlin’s photos.

Caitlin was one of the first vendors we booked and I'm so grateful that we had her as our photographer! Caitlin is not only professional but so down to earth and easy to work with! She made me feel like I've known her for years after one meeting. My husband and I are super awkward when it comes to photos but Caitlin made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our engagement shoot and wedding was such a fun experience because of her! I can't talk about our wedding photos without mentioning Sebastian who was her 2nd photographer that day, they were both great! They kept us on track the entire day and they were beyond organized! Needless to say, we HIGHLY recommend Caitlin!!

We were so grateful to have Caitlin as our wedding photographer!! We initially met with her after seeing her portfolio online and falling in love with her style. Not only was she professional, but she was also very organized, which made it very easy to work with her. We were so excited for her to shoot our wedding after she did such an amazing job with our engagement shoot - she turned 2 people who are uncomfortable and awkward in front of the camera to looking like absolute naturals. She gave us suggestions on poses without making it look too "forced," and also captured priceless candid shots. She has such a great eye to get the best shot possible. Caitlin also gave solid, honest advice in terms of figuring out our day-of timeline to ensure we were getting the most out of our day. She and Sebastian (her 2nd photographer) did an amazing job toughing it out in the cold/wind/snow/rain/you-name-it to help us get incredible pictures (seriously) on our wedding day. We highly highly recommend her - you will definitely not be disappointed!!

Caitlin was incredibly easy to work with. She has a talented eye and ran our photo taking time very well. It all went smoothly she got some nice photographs. I highly recommend her to any one in the market for a wedding photographer.

Caitlin was the first vendor I booked after selecting my wedding date because I knew I simply must have her! From the booking process, to the engagement shoot, and my wedding day, Caitlin was timely, professional, and an absolute joy to work with! Her ideas were wonderful and she was very efficient with fitting in every shot I wanted in addition to all of her creative ideas!

hands down our top wedding vendor. Caitlin came highly recommended to us from friends who hired her for their wedding and after seeing their photos and meeting with Caitlin in person it was a no brainier. Wedding planning is stressful and Caitlin was far and away the most laid back vendor we worked with. She spent time getting to know Liam and I and asked questions to understand what we wanted out of our photos (and the photography process in general). She took all of our requests to heart and made the photo portion of the wedding day painless and fun. Our photos turned out amazing - I was so blown away. Caitlin is easy to work with, professional, and overall a pretty fantastic person. Would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking to book a wedding photographer.

Someone told us to choose a wedding photographer based on their photography style and personality. We did just that with Caitlin and it was the best decision we made. Caitlin was a dream to work with. Her down to earth personality made us comfortable and laugh throughout our engagement session and even on our wedding day. She was a big part of why our wedding day went so smoothly. Her and her second shooter, Eric, were fantastic. Caitlin was great to communicate with, patient, and always gave helpful advice and tips. She made our lives easier by telling us what to expect. She even had us think about the important shots we wanted a few weeks before our wedding so we wouldn't forget one when we had a million other things to worry about that day. We received our wedding photos from her and are beyond happy with them. Her style was EXACTLY how we wanted our wedding to be captured. We can't wait to get so many of these beautiful photos framed to be a part of our home and share with others. We have gotten countless compliments on our wedding photos. She did such an amazing job capturing every different part of our big day. Even the way we viewed our photos in her gallery was extremely organized and easy to operate. We wish we could give her more than 5 stars because she is!

We are so grateful to have had Caitlin as our photographer for our wedding. We had engagement photos from when we were engaged overseas but decided to do a second round with her. We are so happy we did! It was wonderful to get to know her a little before the wedding and feel out her style of photos and positioning. Her pictures from both the engagement session and the wedding are so beautiful, and her editing is perfect. We received a lot of guidance during each photo shoot on how to position, where to look, etc. The day of the wedding I am so thankful that she assisted with timing! We had a small hiccup when the hotel wouldn’t let us up to our first look spot, but Caitlin made sure that the rest of the time allotted ran smoothly. Caitlin and the second photographer, Sebastian, were so professional and wanted to make sure they did everything we requested. I loved that they carried our shot list around with them to make sure they didn’t miss a thing! They were both great company to have with our wedding party too. Everyone enjoyed having them with us. During the reception, our guests took so many photos of us. Some of the photos had Caitlin or Sebastian in them, and it’s funny because when we saw them, we both had no idea they were near us taking pictures!! Every one of our guests has also enjoyed the photo sneak peaks from Caitlin too!! They are seriously jaw dropping. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and would highly recommend Caitlin for everyone!

I'm so happy we chose Caitlin as our wedding photographer. She is incredibly easy to work with, responsive, and seems like a genuinely fun person. Oh, and her work is AMAZING! I remember not feeling super confident in my ability to pose for pictures, but I was so so happy with the way they turned out. She also was helpful in recommending places for photos and helping me with my wedding day timeline. We didn't have a day of coordinator, but Caitlin was definitely helpful in keeping us on track. She also adds a personal touch by sending you a beautiful box with her favorite photos and a USB drive with all the photos from the wedding day on it (as well as giving you access to the online gallery). I can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Caitlin!!

Caitlin was amazing! She did our engagement shoot as well as our wedding and we are SO happy with everything. Our wedding day was the rainiest October day in Chicago and she trucked through the rain with us for pictures and took some breathtaking shots that made the rain all worth it. She was so great to work with for our engagement shoot and wedding and did an incredible job editing. Highly recommend!

Real talk: I am obsessed with our wedding photos (and Caitlin as a general human being). Caitlin was such a joy to work with and made us feel relaxed & comfortable throughout the entire process. We loved that Caitlin worked with us to fill in the blanks of our wedding vision and made recommendations based on her experience. Caitlin provided the perfect amount of guidance during our photos, which was ideal for two novice photography subjects like us! Her second photographer, Sebastian, was a hit with the groomsman and was essential to snapping some of our favorite candid shots, too. We are so grateful to Caitlin for capturing all of our favorite moments- our day would not have been complete without her!

Caitlin was hands-down our favorite vendor to work with for our September 2017 wedding. Photography was our #1 focus after venue, so we took a lot of time researching possible vendors, with Caitlin being short-listed to the top. After our initial meeting with her to review packages, look at photos, get to know one another, etc., we knew she was the one. She was super easy to work with. Setting up our engagement session was a breeze. We were able to give some of our thoughts on locations, but she gave feedback or suggestions if she knew something else would fit our desires better. (Same went for wedding day locations - I tossed out some thoughts but she fine-tuned everything to make sure wedding day timeline was smooth.) Our wedding day was magical. Caitlin was a calming presence day-of and truly a joy to be around. She felt like a friend just tagging along all day, which is what you want on one of your most important days. Our second shooter, Sebastian, was equally as great. Caitlin is really everything you hope for - she is professional but relatable; she puts out a quality product for an amazing price (seriously, such a steal); and she perfectly captures the moments you feel, which are the moments you're going to want to remember. Would recommend her a thousand times over. A happy bride over here.

We love Caitlin! She did an amazing job with our engagement photos that turned out beautifully! Our session was so much fun and we had a great time with her! I'd recommend her to any bride and groom hands down!

Caitlin was absolutely phenomenal to work with! She has a keen eye for creating the most gorgeous photos, and she's professional & fun! Our engagement photoshoot completely set the tone for our upcoming Great Gatsby wedding, and our guests were really wowed by them. My husband does not consider himself to be photogenic & he's awkward in front of the camera. I was concerned our photos might look forced, like I was torturing him, but Caitlin made us both feel at ease & comfortable - it definitely showed in our photos. We went with her package that included all the bells & whistles, and it was totally worth it. My wedding photos turned out even better & I could not be happier that I chose Caitlin. She is in high demand because she is that awesome - book her now!

If we could give Caitlin more than 5 stars we would! Choosing her as our photographer was the best decision we made. My husband and I were a little nervous for our engagement pictures and Caitlin put us at ease from the moment we met up with her. The session was a blast and the pictures came out great. I was beyond excited to see our wedding pictures when see shared our link. Caitlin and her second photographer Sebastian did an amazing job capturing every special moment. As I scroll through our pictures I truly feel as though I am reliving the day. I love every single picture she took and could not be happier with them. I would recommend Caitlin in a heartbeat!

We hired Caitlin for our wedding in July 2017. From the initial meeting to delivering our final photos she was very professional, organized, and timely. We thought she was great to work with and we really love our pictures, they turned out great. She did a great job of capturing so many moments.

Caitlin is world-class! She is a great photographer and most importantly, fun to work with. She had me and my wife laughing and made an impact on our day in such a positive way - this really shined through in our photos! I'd highly recommend hiring her for you big day, you won't be disappointed!

I haven't gotten my pictures back yet but from seeing all of her work and my experience with her on the day was phenomenal. She is more laid back than a lot of photographers and didn't make us take weird posed pictures. We missed a few shots because my grandma wasn't feeling up for it at the designated family photo time, but she did a great job at keeping track of the shot list I gave her. Also a bunch of people were unable to make it at the designated time so she made an effort to help grab one extra family photo during our cocktail hour. I was a very organized bride but found the timeline very difficult to figure out especially without knowing how long we needed for pictures. This is where Caitlin truly shined and helped me go through the breakdown a week or two before and helped make sure we got all the shots I wanted. I've no doubt the caliber of my pictures will be as good as all of the other ones I've seen her do. Also, we were pressed for time a bit because I did not want to do a first look. THANK YOU CAITLIN! You're so communicative and calm. One of the best decisions we made was working with her. She also worked well with our videographer so that everyone could get the shots we need. Can't wait to see our pics Elizabeth & Dan LaChapelle

My wife and I were extremely happy with the work that Caitlin and Sebastian did for our wedding on May 27, 2017 in the city. She was very efficient in the planning process, took our wants, needs in place when planning but also kept us in line as timeline was crucial for the success of the wedding. Overall we really enjoyed the natural feel to the flow of the day and Caitlin & Sebastian were a huge part in making it a success. The photographs themselves are amazing - she somehow made my wife look even more gorgeous than she is already! Thanks for helping make our special day that much more special, we will treasure the photographs always!

I would highly recommend Caitlin for your engagement and wedding photography needs. Not only is she incredibly professional, but also an eye for unique and artistic shots. My wife and I are still receiving comments regularly about how great our wedding pictures turned out. 10/10 would refer.

It's a no-brainer, people. Have you seen her Instagram? Gorgeous, crisp, magazine worthy pictures. I got the pictures back and I couldn't believe how beautiful they are. When you meet Caitlin you know right away that she gets it. She's so talented and impossible not to like. You spend a lot of time with your photographers on your wedding day. Caitlin is smart, funny, organized, interested, understanding, and a blast to be around.

Everything you want your wedding photos to be! Caitlin was the wedding photographer for my brother and new sister in law's wedding this past July 2017. Their wedding was held in the same church and reception venue as my own wedding five years ago. Family wedding 2.0! I cried when I saw their wedding photos because they were everything I had hoped and dreamed my own photos would have been. Her work is incredible. The photos were glowing with amazing lighting. Every image looked like it came out of a magazine. She captured all the small little details and special moments. Day of she was friendly, professional, and sweet. Totally focused on capturing these once in a lifetime memories. I have huge regrets she wasn't our wedding photographer. Don't make my mistake- save yourself the tears!

Caitlin is phenomenal! From start to finish she made our wedding planning experience so stress-free and the day was a breeze. She is a true professional and has such a creative eye when it comes to photography. We are in love with each shot- from the details, to our family pictures, to the dance floor she made sure to capture every special moment. Also, she goes above and beyond for her clients to make sure she's on top of communication and gets you photos asap after the wedding! I couldn't recommend her enough, she is a sure bet if you're looking for great quality photos that will last a lifetime.

Caitlin was great! She photographed our wedding in May 2017 - and I am SO happy we chose her. Picking a photographer is not an easy task and Caitlin made it easy. I love her style - she doesn't force photos, she captures the natural photos. Working with Caitlin made the process easy and we enjoyed her friendly attitude. The photos she captured will be treasured forever. Thank you Caitlin (and a shout out to her assistant - Sebastian) for capturing our special day!

Caitlin is AMAZING! From our initial meeting (my husband and her actually knew each other from college, but I had never met her), I just knew we had made the right decision. I had never had formal/professional photographs taken & at our engagement session, Caitlin put me right at ease and my husband & I both felt so comfortable. She helped us pick the location of our engagement session - going off of some photos I had shown her that I liked and after describing the overall look and feel I was going for. We could not have loved those photos more, and countless people commented on how stunning our Save the Date was (she even was amazing at getting our dog to smile for the camera!) Onto wedding planning, I again worked with Caitlin to identify a few locations for our wedding day photos (Lincoln Park and the riverwalk downtown) and could not be happier with how everything turned out. I am so happy I took her advice on different places to go for the photos because every single photo is STUNNING! So many of my bridesmaids are already married and told me they want to get re-married just to have Caitlin be their photographer! Caitlin was able to capture some really special moments and the joy of the wedding day was so easily felt when looking through the entire gallery. Also, the turnaround time was incredible! We had all of our photos one month after the wedding. So many of my friends have waited months and months for their photos, I couldn't believe when I got them one month later! Overall, Caitlin was professional, on top of every single detail, and so much FUN to work with. Our photos are beautiful, and the hardest part was selecting only 100-ish for the formal album Caitlin is creating for us because we love so many of them! Caitlin is one decision I would hands down make for my wedding time and time again, and we will cherish the photos she took for years and years to come!

Hi, I am Paul of the "Paul and Danielle Wedding." I feel like I need to share my experience for my sake and for future couples' sakes. I gave 2 stars because "I'd pass" given the choice again. As a preface, yes, we were given a partial refund. Yes, there are important photographs that were never taken. Yes, my wife cried because she was so disappointed. No, I would not recommend her. I will try to be as objective as possible going forward. Planning a wedding is stressful and my wife wanted to pick most of the details herself and then have me give the stamp of approval. We were both involved picking Caitlin. Dani conversed with her directly, I met her on the day of the wedding. Dani had provided a list of required wedding photos to her. The morning of the wedding Caitlin came to the hotel, took still photos of the dress, rings, etc. 20 shots total. I asked for a goofy picture of my brothers and me. I don't think she understood, we got 2 shots in total that were close. Zoom ahead, we did our first look at Union Station. She was pretty inefficient and did not give very clear instructions or poses. We had to skip a set of photographs to be taken outside the Board of Trade. Notably, all the photographs taken leaning by the pillars outside Union Station, I had positioned everyone for. At this point, I recognized that someone needed be giving directions because there was a serious time crunch and Caitlin was not leading. We took photos on the river walk after. I literally said, "Can you take more photos?" to which she replied, " Oh, all the husbands say that." We were outside in downtown Chicago. There are no shots of us with any skyline. I asked specifically for the Carbon and Carbide building to be in the background. It is completely blurred. However, I can point out the neon signs from Dick's Last Resort. There were only 30 shots taken here. The next set of shots were at the venue (ceremony/dinner/dancing all at the same place). The City View Lofts have the Chicago skyline in the background, a major reason we chose the location. There are zero photos where you can clearly buildings outside. By the end of there ceremony there were 334 shots taken total. The next 56 of 57 shots are of place settings and the venue with no people. The next group of shots are of Dani and myself outside by ourselves, again with very little direction. The formal wedding photos were next. There are no photos of our entire wedding party (2 brothers, 2 sisters, flower girl, ring bearer, and the newly weds). There no photos of my side of the family (I OK'd not having formal photos with my aunts and uncles). There are no photos of both sides of the family or with both sets of grandparents. There are people walking and eating at tables in the back ground. There were about 100 guests, and we are missing photos (formal and any other informal shots) of multiple family members, including my wife's great aunt who passed away about 2 months later. We asked Caitlin to stay 2 extra hours to take more shots (we paid extra and were refunded). There were 715 shots total. I estimate we are missing photos of about 1/3 of our guests. I would argue even the formal photos (many of which we are missing) really were not a very high professional standard for reasons I don't have space to elaborate. Now to the photographs. The hard copies were delayed. They are very matted and not glossy making them very blurry and unusable for us. Many are highly edited/washed out and cropped.

Caitlin...WOW. We are so happy we chose Caitlin Lisa as our wedding photographer! She was a pleasure to work with and captured us perfectly. Our wedding was very intimate and a bit "atypical" for a downtown Chicago wedding, and Caitlin did an outstanding job working with us to ensure that we got a ton of shots of us as a couple. (She and Sebastian captured our First Look *perfectly* - my husband was so blown away!) I would definitely recommend Caitlin, particularly for Chicago city weddings. She knows Chicago - the best angles for all of the "expected" shots, as well as cool nooks and crannies you might never consider for photos. \ (Of note: Caitlin also did our Engagement Shoot at our home, and those turned out beautifully as well!)

I would give 10 stars if I could! Caitlin is an absolute DREAM to work with. She is SO detailed and on top of things from start to finish. I was so impressed with her pre-wedding questionnaire because it covered things that I would have never thought about. She arrived early with a smile from ear to ear {despite the rainy, nasty weather outside} and was ready to tackle 9 hours of straight photography! She is so calm, collected, and a natural at styling photos, pose coaching, etc. I can't even explain the looks on our faces when the photos started coming in {she gave sneak peeks on social media in the weeks following the wedding and it was so fun!}. We literally love them all, she is SO talented and we couldn't have dreamed of a better photographer to capture our special day. Her attention to detail, natural light, and candids is just the best. By looking at her photos, you would not have even known it was rainy and gloomy outside. She absolutely captured the love + light of our wedding day! We can't thank her enough!

One of the harder decisions throughout the wedding planning process is choosing a good photographer to document all the important moments. Should you find yourself in such a dilemma, you can't go wrong choosing Caitlin Lisa Photography. In my exchanges with Caitlin before the big day, I felt like I was talking with a friend. She was caring, genuine, and very pragmatic. It was apparent that she wanted to give me a great experience that I needn't worry about during the stress of wedding planning. On my big day, I couldn't have asked for a better person to be there. Caitlin arrived whilst my bridesmaids and I were still having our hair and makeup done, and I was worried about the timing. She quickly put my immediate worries about timing to rest as she took pictures of the rings, my shoes, and my dress while the bridal party finished getting ready. Throughout the entire day, Caitlin made my job easier, capturing all the moments that I wanted documented and an embarrassing gaffe (just in case I did want pictures of that - when I told her that I didn't need reminders, all evidence was quickly deleted). Caitlin was quick and efficient, making the most of our time. While some might think that she was too rapid with her photo shoots, the pictures that I have seen of my day have been nothing less than exquisite. She is truly a master of her craft. If that was the only thing about Caitlin, you would be so fortunate to have her photograph your wedding. But, the most wonderful thing about her is her exuberance. I honestly felt like I had a close friend with me throughout the day, helping me here and there, and reminding me to relax and enjoy the moment.

Caitlin was fantastic to work with! We wanted natural looking (not overly posed) classic photos so she was perfect! She paid close attention to what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Caitlin was an amazing photographer! She made the day of run as smooth as possible and captured all the amazing moments so they can live forever in the photos. As an architect I can be pretty stubborn with views and locations and she knew all the right spots to capture the essence of our wedding! Great turnaround on getting the photos as well, she even gave us snap shots and previews as she was editing, including a couple edited photos the following day before we left for our honeymoon!

Caitlin is truly gifted! Not only is she an amazing photographer but her personality is just so fun to work with! My husband and I booked her for both our engagement photos and our wedding and we could not be happier! She was flexible, go with the flow and so easy to talk to. She took the time to get to know us and our story, using that to tell it through her photos. Even when things don't always go to plan, she makes it work. Beautiful portfolio with an eye for detail and her associate photographer Sebastian was awesome too. Wouldn't have gone with anyone else!

Caitlin was recommend to me by my sister, as Caitlin had photographed her friend’s wedding. I’d remembered seeing those photos on facebook and booked Caitlin immediately without even meeting her. I knew she would capture the day perfectly and in a unique way. When I did meet her, I knew instantly that I had made the best decision. Caitlin was down to earth, super easy to work with and I felt like we were immediate friends. She kept our wedding day fun, calm and running smoothly despite all the family opinions/personalities. Hunter and I were so happy to have Caitlin capture our day and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Caitlin was such a pleasure to work with. Her portfolio speaks for itself, but I felt like we had a friend capturing our big and small moments throughout the day. She put everyone at ease, was very flexible, extremely positive and just all around awesome.

Caitlin was amazing. She was fun, down to earth, very easy to work with and good at getting the attention of a large, crazy wedding party and family in order to stay on schedule and get all of the shots we wanted. On our wedding day the location we chose to do our first look at had construction equipment in front of it. Caitlin noticed this before arriving and scoped out other locations for the first look so that when she delivered us the news about our first location she was able to offer solutions and other locations for us to use. She was thoughtful enough to ask what time we were leaving for our honeymoon the next day so that she could make sure to send some sneak peak photos before we got on the plane.
