Everything about working with Caitlin for our engagement photos and photography on our wedding day was a dream. Just wow!
First, her photos turned out stunning! She captured so much beauty and joy in our special day. We were delighted by how quickly she delivered our sneak peeks (next day for our wedding!), and the full galleries for both shoots were filled with beautiful photos for us to remember the events.
Second, she made us both feel so comfortable during both posed and candid photos. My husband and I are both a bit photo-shy but never felt self-conscious with Caitlin. She cued us / corrected us in a very gentle way.
Third, she was so easy to communicate with and so organized on the day of our wedding. Emails were answered promptly. She was always happy to opine on timeline questions or how best to structure our long list of family photos.
On the day of the wedding she already had all the information she needed to help our photos run as smoothly as possible. She called out each of the permutations of family photos we needed to take and made sure we had all the versions we wanted. She also accommodated last minute changes so seamlessly! Despite asking us for a list of family photos ahead of time, we had a few ad-hoc requests. Caitlin didn’t make us feel bad or rushed at all and was able to accommodate everything we needed.
While I don’t imagine we’ll be planning another event this large for the foreseeable future (as we’re still recovering from the wedding), we would work with Caitlin again in a heartbeat. The photos she takes are beautiful, and the experience of working with her before, during, and after the event is seamless. Thank you, Caitlin!!!
Caitlin was the best photographer, I am so glad we chose her! Not only was she a wonderful, calming presence throughout the day but the pictures she returned to us are stunning! She came highly recommended from some friends of ours and we are completely thrilled with her services! She is great to work with!
Caitlin was a dream to work with. Neither my husband nor I feel super comfortable in front of the camera, but Caitlin hyped us up and helped us get some truly stunning engagement and wedding photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. When I tell you my jaw dropped upon seeing our sneak peeks! I have never felt more confident or beautiful as I did in those pictures. Not only does she produce stunning photos, but she helped us a ton with our timeline and even provided some emotional support when needed. Caitlin truly cared about us as a couple - with two weeks to go to our wedding, we had a mini-crisis when our wedding planner suddenly changed. As soon as Caitlin heard, she reached out to see if there was any way she could help and offer her support. She was so much more than a photographer.. Hiring Caitlin was the best decision we could have made for our wedding, and we are so happy with her!
Caitlin is an extremely talented photographer. She captured every moment and every detail of my daughters wedding starting with engagement photos, wedding portrait and their wedding day!! She displays a sense of calmness which is portrayed in her work. My daughter loved working with Caitlin and I loved watching her work. I highly recommend Caitlin for your photography needs!!
Caitlin is beyond amazing. She did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and my bridal portraits. She is so kind, patient and creative. She leads with just enough guidance, but let’s you be yourselves throughout the whole process. Caitlin is extremely easy to work with and she did everything so seamlessly. All of my friends and family have commented on how beautiful the pictures turned out and it’s seriously because of Caitlin. I cannot rave enough about her and hope to use her even more for more life events in the future. She’s the absolute best!!!
Caitlin is the best photographer! I hate being photographed and was extremely worried about wedding pictures specially since my engagement pictures went so badly. But Caitlin couldn't have been better than she was. Besides listening to my rants of what I wanted, she was sweet every day leading up to it, the day of it, and even after. I will definitely be hiring her again for any major event!
Caitlin is AMAZING! We initially booked Caitlin Rose for wedding pictures only, since we felt a little indifferent towards engagement pictures. However, we are so glad we did both with Caitlin– we were able to meet her and get out some nerves during the engagement shoot. She made us feel so comfortable from the start and made sure we got enough pictures and poses in. Caitlin was so flexible with rescheduling due to rainy weather conditions and other scheduling conflicts.
Prior to the wedding day, Caitlin checked in periodically and gave suggestions about lighting/timing and created a detailed timeline/shot list. On the day of the wedding, Caitlin was so professional yet made us feel so calm and comfortable. She was able to organize various family members so we could get our “traditional” pictures and keep us on schedule, but also brought in her creative side to help capture some beautiful memories. We loved that she incorporated film and the use of prisms to capture our vision. Finally, we were so impressed with how quickly she turned around the sneak peeks and full edits on all our photos. We are in love with our gallery! We can’t recommend Caitlin enough!
Caitlin is an excellent photographer and just a great human being to work with. Of all of the vendors we worked with, Caitlin was maybe the best choice we made for our entire event. She was so calming and we felt comfortable with her from the very start. Planning a wedding and the day of the wedding can be hectic, and Caitlin made our lives easy and was the ultimate professional. All of our photos, from our engagement photos to our wedding photos turned out so beautiful. We have a great mix of portraits, candid photos, and photos of the entire experience that really help to tell the story of our wedding. She helped manage family dynamics with ease, and genuinely seemed to enjoy her work. We couldn't recommend her more!
Caitlin is the best - and we should know, she shot both of our weddings (thanks, COVID)! Working with Caitlin was an absolute breeze and pleasure. She was very accessible for all of the questions we had leading up to our wedding, and was also extremely prepared for the day-of interactions with the large family shot-list. 11/10 review for Caitlin: her pictures have beautifully captured memories that we will cherish for a lifetime, and it was a pleasure to get to work with her.
Caitlin's photography is exceptional. The photos taken for our wedding were everything we hoped for and more. She has such a knack for getting candid, natural shots that capture the energy and love you feel on your wedding day. She also makes taking photos feel really natural and easy (when both my husband and I can sometimes be awkward in front of a camera). Outside of her superb photography skills she is incredibly professional, and was a joy to work with.
I wish I could rate more than 5 stars for this sweet, patient, and talented photographer. My husband and I were most nervous about our photos - we both LOVE photography, but are uncomfortable being both behind the camera and the center of attention. We did tons and tons of research looking for the perfect fit to capture our day and we could not have found a better fit than Caitlin. Caitlin and her second photographer Kim were integral to making our day magical and made us feel so calm and confident in each photo and moment that was captured. Everyone that has seen our gallery has said the exact same phrase - "Your photographer captured the exact feeling of your day". You can see the love and happiness behind every shot and she captured the moments that the bride and groom sometimes don't get to fully experience. We recommend Caitlin and her wonderful friend Kim to everyone and anyone that we can! We are so happy and truly blessed to have had them be a part of our special day - we truly feel that they are a big part of why our day was and will always be beautiful!
Caitlin is absolutely amazing and so talented. You need to book her! I have gotten so many compliments from people saying how phenomenal my wedding pictures are. She has great vision, professional, great communicator, the list goes on.
Hiring Caitlin was hands down one of the best decisions of my wedding. Her talent is absolutely amazing! I have not been disappointed with any photo she has sent me. From engagements, to bridals, to the wedding itself, she has delivered such incredible content. I can’t even count the number of compliments I have had on them! Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she also is one of the nicest people I have worked with. She was so supportive, kind, and made me so comfortable in every photoshoot. Her work speaks for itself, but having her positivity throughout the wedding was worth it too! I can not WAIT to get the rest of my photos because I know how beautiful they will be. Thank you Caitlin for everything!
Photography was definitely a top priority for us for our wedding, and hiring Caitlin was the best decision we could have made! She is extremely talented, so nice, will keep your photo schedule super organized and she cares a lot about her couples. From getting to know us during the engagement session, helping us look less awkward in photos to capturing all the details from our big day!
Our photos are the most wonderful wedding photos I have ever seen! And not saying that just because it's my own wedding. Her work made us smile, cry and laugh looking through all the gallery! I will cherish them forever! And I know so many people (mainly our families!) will too! She captured everything in the most amazing way. She made us all feel so comfortable and make everything run so smoothly. A wedding photographer is one of the most important vendors and people to be there and I am so happy I found her! You will not regret hiring her!
Caitlin is the best choice you could make for a photographer! She's a gifted photographer, but also an incredibly kind and caring person as well. She has photographed my work as an artist and wedding stationer and it was no question that I wanted to her to photograph my own wedding as well. She hasn't delivered our full gallery yet but from the few sneak peeks she's shared, I can't imagine how they could get any better! Her ability to capture emotion is unmatched. She was able to keep me and my husband calm in front of the camera (where we're both not used to being) and I am stunned by how beautiful the results are. I would recommend her over and over again.
Choosing Caitlin as our photographer was hands down THE BEST decision I made in the wedding planning process. Photography was at the very top of my priority list because let's be honest--this is one of the very few pieces that will stand the test of time! If you are looking for natural, colorful, cheerful, light and airy photos, look no further than Caitlin!! She is a kind, calming presence throughout the entire process and is always willing to give advice. She even helped me pick out my engagement outfits and visited our location in advance to make sure lighting was optimal. My husband and I are totally awkward when it comes to posing, but she made us feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. Bridals are a must! I had the best time with Caitlin and she made me feel so beautiful and confident the whole time. It was the perfect trial run and got me excited for our wedding day. Caitlin's work is stunning. The sneak peeks always arrived the next day and the full galleries always were delivered within the time frame she committed to up front. Looking through photos brings you right back to the moment she captured an image. I have gone through my engagement, bridal, and wedding photos repeatedly and I've laughed, cried, and smiled every time! Can't wait to print them for our new home, although I don't know how I'll choose my favorites. I LOVE THEM ALL! Thank you Caitlin for being a special part of our wedding process.
Caitlin is so encouraging and positive all while giving just the right amount of direction. She kept everyone at ease during what could have been a stressful situation, we had a very rainy wedding day. From the sneak peeks that she sent us the Monday after our wedding (so fast), the images are light, airy and the colors really pop. She went above and beyond the entire time and will be our photographer for any event we have in the future!
Caitlin is so, so talented. I've known Caitlin since nursing school and had always admired her photos, I literally didn't even look at other photographers. She is very accommodating and helps out however she can to make your wedding planning process easier! Her calm and reassuring demeanor makes the planning and day of the wedding go super smoothly. From the sneak peeks to the official gallery of both my engagement and wedding, I was so happy and couldn't stop saying "wow!" I can't even pick my favorites because there are just so many great photos, Caitlin has an elegance to her style and details, and is somehow able to produce such natural colors whether during the day or night. I admire her work from her other events all the time, it's just so beautiful! I'm so glad I chose Caitlin, we are so happy with how everything turned out. I'm so proud of you Caitlin!
If you're looking for a sign on who to hire as your engagement or wedding photographer, this is it. Look no further because you won't find a better photographer than Caitlin. Allow me to explain!
Caitlin photographed our engagement party last year in Austin, Texas. I was absolutely blown away by the photos she took. She captures the details, the big picture and the most special moments. Also, it was hotter than the fourth of July and none of our pictures looks like anyone had a drop of sweat. #Talent
Flash forward and I'm planning a 3-day destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico in December. While there are plenty of incredible photographers living in Cabo who were familiar with our venues and other local vendors, I kept thinking about Caitlin. I preferred her over anyone. Her photography style is light, airy, colorful and joyful, and I just knew we had to have her photograph our wedding week. So she and her husband (dream team) flew out to Mexico 1 day before the parties started and walked our venue. Let me tell you... she absolutely nailed it! I cannot recommend her enough.
She was incredibly organized from the moment I reached out to her. She touched base with me multiple times prior to the wedding to make sure we were on the same page. Her wedding questionnaire is thorough as all get out and her timeline left out no details. She really helped me envision my day, minute by minute, months before the wedding.
Then we had to reschedule the wedding due to COVID. She was so kind, flexible and even offered a shoulder to cry on! She even sent me an adorable box in the mail with so many goodies like dark chocolate, Rifle Paper Co notepad, her look book and the Brides of Austin magazine that she shot the cover photo!
Although wedding day can be stressful, Caitlin has a demeanor about her that is so calming. As the bride, you pretty much spend all day with your photographers. I swear her calm energy was rubbing off on me. We had a blast together. The best day. No stress. I trusted her. I feel like we are best friends now!! She handled my crazy wedding party like a boss. She corralled the chaotic family. She even climbed a 12 foot ladder for my group shot!
I guess I could've just said she takes the best photos I've EVER seen and is super organized vendor to work with. But the cherry on top is that she's an even better human. I'm super grateful she photographed my special days. You won't regret hiring her. Trust me!
OMG!! Hiring Caitlin was hands down one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process. I stumbled across her photos on Instagram and loved all the color and natural light. All of our photos from the engagement session to the wedding day were absolutely PERFECT! Caitlin is so easy to work with and has such a calm demeanor which is exactly what you need on your wedding day!! 10/10 experience :)
Can’t recommend Caitlin enough!! Her photos speak for themselves, but her organization, demeanor and execution were also 10/10. Not only that, but I believe her prices were extremely reasonable for the amazing service and lifelong memories she provides!
Caitlin provided tons of advice throughout the planning process, was very responsive via email, made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera, and all friends/family at the wedding had nothing but great things to say. She even sends sneak peeks the DAY after, which is unheard of!
Thank you Caitlin!!!
Caitlin is the most organized, thoughtful, creative, and attentive photographer. She truly captures the moment, while making you feel comfortable behind the camera. She always wants to know how she can help you the best. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture my special day. If you're looking for a photographer who can do it all, Caitlin is it!!
Caitlin was an absolute pleasure to work with! Her eye for detail and editorial style created photos that I will treasure forever. The design of the event was stunning, but the way she captured the moment - the feeling, the weather, the mood.... its so wonderful! Can't wait to work with her again!
I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I researched/talked to exactly 20 photographers in the San Antonio/Austin area, and Caitlin was one that had been recommended to us by several friends. My husband and I were paying for our wedding, so we were really price conscious, but knew that we wanted lasting photos. And really, I don't think we could have chosen a better person to be with us for the big day. Her package that we chose came with a mini engagement session, and even though my husband and I both feel awkward in front of a camera, she made us feel SO comfortable (seriously, I need someone to tell me even where to put my hands, and she would do that). From that session, we knew the wedding day was going to be captured so perfectly. Caitlin and her second photographer (Christina?) were so personable and kind to the whole bridal party, our families, and guests. The pictures are amazing, and I can't stop looking at them and reliving the day. Our families are like printing them all out and just seriously everyone loves them so much. Thank you Caitlin, for helping us have this day forever.
I cannot recommend Caitlin enough. She came recommended to us by some of our friends. They had a really intimate ceremony and Caitlin captured the night so well. She did a phenomenal job for us as well. She is so laid back and easy to work with. She captured some amazing candids of us. I can't stop looking through our pictures. 10 out of 10 recommend.
We will recommend Caitlin to anyone and everyone in a heartbeat - she is so incredibly kind and personable, and such a professional with a natural knack for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera from the very first capture. She made our day so special, and she even made our post-wedding day all the better by sending us a few sneak peaks that we absolutely LOVE. Thank you Caitlin!!!
Hiring Caitlin was one of the best decisions we made! She is so talented and she instantly made us feel comfortable. Caitlin was a part of our entire experience from engagement, bridal boudoir, and our wedding day -- she was such an important part of our entire story. Looking at photos she does such an incredible job of capturing our personalities, love, and for making us feel/look beautiful. We had a rather large wedding and a HUGE family and Caitlin and her team did such an amazing job managing and capturing the chaos. After each session she would even provide us with "sneak peeks" the next day with a couple of edited photos so we could at least see some of her work. She was also super quick to get everything edited and sent back to us. I would hire Caitlin a million times over. We have her to thank that we can look back at these beautiful photos and remember this special season of our lives. We are so grateful for you Caitlin -- thank you so much! xo
BEST PHOTOGRAPHER AND SUCH BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS!! Caitlin and her assistant were so amazing to work with! She answers super quick, is always easy to reach, and takes the most beautiful photos!! She is super sweet, very organized and gets you sneak peaks the day after she photographs. I cannot stress enough how amazing her work is and how perfect her photos turn out!!
Caitlin was a delight to work with! My fiancé and I had no idea what we were doing, but Caitlin took all the guesswork out of the experience and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere while maintaining complete professionalism. And we LOVE our photos!!!
Caitlin was phenomenal! She took the vision we had for our photos and exceeded it tremendously. She was extremely professional and an absolute joy to work with. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for beautiful memories!
Caitlin is such a great photographer and on top of that, a very sweet person! She is so communicative, creative, punctual, and genuinely wants her customers to be completely happy and satisfied with not only their photos, but their experience working with her. She took my boudoir photos and we had a lot of fun! She made me feel really comfortable (which is so important as having photos taken of yourself can often times feel awkward esp when you’re wearing lingerie - but not with Caitlin!). Caitlin is very professional and her photos turn out beautifully! I highly recommend Caitlin Rose Photography!
Caitlin has an incredible artistic eye for capturing the perfect photo! She selected an amazing outdoor setting in Austin for my bridal portraits, which made them so unique. We have fabulous photographs of our wedding because of Caitlin’s attention to detail and ability to capture the beauty in every moment. She is very professional, efficient, and talented. After the wedding, she created the most beautiful wedding book for me and I love looking back on the photos all the time. Thank you Caitlin!!
Caitlin is an amazing photographer!! She has a great eye for color, clarity and uniqueness. Her photos are truly beautiful. The way she uses natural light is breathe taking! She is also great to work with. She is calm and relaxed, but very organized and finds wonderful shots that stand out from others. I would 100% recommend her.
Caitlin is the absolute best!!
I spent so much time researching and being disappointed in how much I had to pay for such limited photography packages. With my budget most people were offering a 4-6 hour package, + travel costs, + a limited amount of edited photos (some of which I would have to also pay to download) . Also, I had serious doubts about how experienced some of these photographers were and I did not want to leave that up to chance on my big day!
With the recommendation of a coworker of mine, I had looked up Caitlin and saw how professional her photos were. I thought there was no chance she would be in my budget so I didn't initially reach out. After weeks of no luck with other options, I finally decided to email her - I was blown away by my first interaction with her. She was firm yet accommodating with my budget and instantly understood my vision!
We met up in person once before the wedding and emailed a bit during the lead up to the day and it felt like I was emailing a best friend asking for advice... from asking her about how to handle a chance of rain forecast to if bubbles made sense for a daytime grand exit, she was always quick to respond and so reassuring!
Everyone at my wedding was extremely impressed with her. They also found her to be calm, joyful, reassuring. She was by our side the whole day and captured the emotions of the day perfectly. Along with our wedding planner, I think she was a huge contributor to such a successful day for my husband and I. She was just lovely to work with.
The value she brought to our big day was 100% worth the money we spent with her and I recommend her to anyone and everyone!!!
Thank you Caitlin for capturing our special day!! Not only is Caitlin a friend, she is also an amazing nurse and photographer! You did such a phenomenal job, you were so patient and kind! Caitlin made Spencer and I feel so comfortable, we didn’t have to worry about anything she was everywhere capturing every second of our wedding! Thank you again�
Caitlin was awesome! Highly recommend. She really took the worry out of everything and her photos were so great!
Caitlin was great! She made our photos incredible. She got them back really fast too. Absolute pleasure to work with!
Caitlin is phenomenal!! There are not enough words to describe how awesome she is as a photographer. She makes the bride and groom feel so comfortable and special on their day. Also, I can't say enough about the candid photos she took on our day. They are definitely some of my favorites!
Amazing photographer! Caitlin shot our engagement pictures and then traveled to our destination wedding in the Dominican Republic, we have so many great photos to cherish forever. Caitlin Is patient, listens to what you want, has great vision and was very quick to get edits completed.
Caitlin did a fabulous job for us. She did everything from engagement to wedding. She even bailed us out at the last minute when one of our mothers wanted rehearsal dinner pictures. She was a life saver and amazing with a camera. Happily fulfilled all our requests and knew some pictures we would want that we hadnt asked for.
I just wanted to quickly let you and Ryan know that you guys did an absolutely phenomenal job at our wedding and on our pictures! We love them!! They are everything I personally had hoped they would be, thank you so much for coming all the way out to Lajitas and sharing in our wedding events. We're still just taking in all the photos (thanks for providing so many!) but I just wanted to tell you guys that we're incredibly happy with them. I honestly never noticed you guys shooting either, so that was very appreciated after being to weddings where the photographers were very distracting. Anyway, thank you again and keep up the good work!

I am SO glad I found Caitlin to use as a photographer for our wedding in May. Not only is she very personable and a pleasure to work with, we are so impressed with her talent. She captured every single detail of our day and all those moments we never want to forget. The photos look natural and candid, and it was so nice to just enjoy ourselves instead of taking time out to pose for pictures. The quality of photos are amazing, and we get to order as many as wed like from wherever wed like- which our guests really like! Thank you Caitlin, so much! I would recommend her to anyone getting married in the Austin, TX area.
What I like about this photographer is she delivers unique and un-posed photos that reflect things that are important to me. (Kind of Texas backgrounds, and kind of Austin flavored). Anyway, I learned that I was kind of lucky to book her because she turns down more work than she accepts. Glad I did.
Caitlin took mine and my fiance's engagement pictures and we were absolutely stunned!! The images are beautiful and I constantly get compliments on all our pictures! Caitlin knows how to get the best possible shot with gorgeous natural lighting. None of the pictures felt "posey" and we look natural and happy in all of our shots. She did a great job of directing us on where to look and what looked best. She also knew great locations around Austin to take pictures and was open to suggestions or my preferences. She gave us so many different shots to use and keep as well!
Not only did Caitlin capture the most gorgeous shots of my fiance and I, but she took absolutely amazing pictures of us with our 8 month old puppy! She was able to capture such sweet moments even with all his movement and short attention span. I will cherish those pictures and all our pictures forever!
Caitlin was a dream to work with, so sweet and happy. I will definitely be using Caitlin again for pictures and I would recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful natural light pictures!!
