About this vendor
Hi!
We’re The Ramsdens, fine art wedding photographers based in New York’s Hudson Valley. We’re obsessed with capturing the love between two people, and also happen to be in love with each other.
One of us was born on a dirt road in Texas but raised in New York. The other was born and raised in South Africa. We somehow found each other, joined forces, and are now on this journey together.
As a married couple, we know how special your day is. Our goal is to capture that magic. We believe in the happy coexistence between posed and candid photography, and live for them both.
We hold a special place in our hearts for intimate weddings and elopements on this beautiful earth.
Mountain tops and flower crowns are some of our favorite things.

My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to have Caitlinn as our wedding photographer. She is unbelievably talented and has an incredible ability to capture the emotions of each moment. Caitlinn pays close attention to the small details, from the way we held hands to the expressions on our guests' faces, bringing every precious memory to life in her photos.
I first met Caitlinn when she was the photographer for my best friend's wedding, which happened to be on one of the coldest days of the year. I’ll never forget Caitlinn’s energy and enthusiasm—despite the chill, she was a warm and positive presence, making everyone feel comfortable and excited. After that, I knew she would be the perfect choice for our wedding as well.
We booked Caitlinn for our engagement photos, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the photos were! She even joined us on a cold winter hike, creating such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that I told my husband afterward, “I want to be friends with her.” That’s how wonderful she is!
On our wedding day, Caitlinn made me feel absolutely incredible. She was professional timely, and brought a sense of calm and joy that made the day even more special. Caitlinn is so efficient that we received our sneak peek photos the very next day, and they were breathtaking! Despite shooting two weddings after ours, she had all our photos to us within three weeks—unbelievable!
I cannot recommend Caitlinn highly enough. Not only is she incredibly talented and attentive to every detail, but she is also the kind of person you want to have around on your special day. Her warmth and positivity light up the room, and we are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer.
Run, don’t walk—you need to hire Caitlinn! Our wedding photos turned out absolutely stunning, and Caitlinn, along with her second shooter Laurel, are hands down the coolest people ever. They made the whole experience so easy and fun, even when taking photos for hours can feel awkward. Their energy elevated an already amazing day and made it even more unforgettable. I can't recommend Caitlinn enough!
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.
Caitlinn is a 100/10 - just absolutely incredible. We are so incredibly grateful for how she and Laurel captured our wedding day. The breadth and depth of her skills is insane. From the shot styles to the framing, to the gorgeous depth her photos have, I'm just in love with every photo we received from our wedding. And she is just so fun to work with!! Taking photos was one of our favorite parts of the day. Caitlinn - thank you, thank you! I can't count how many times I have said it, but Ian and I are truly grateful for every single photo!!!!
Words cannot describe how amazing Caitlinn is and how much my husband and I love her. From our first contact, I could tell Caitlinn was so vibrant and passionate about her work. Capturing love is an art and she is a true artist. Caitlinn did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and I am just in absolute awe of her talent. I mentioned to her that I generally feel uncomfortable taking photos and I don’t normally like the way I look in them. She was able to create such a wonderful, fun and memorable experience for both our sessions. My husband and I could not stop laughing and smiling. I am in love with every single photo she has taken. Not to mention the printed photos and wedding album were absolute perfection in every detail, from the layout of the photos to the amazing wooden box they came in. Our wedding was May 25th at The Garrison, and I find myself looking at the photos Caitlinn took almost every day and I am just transported right back to that day. I can’t forget to mention her second shooter, Laurel, who was absolutely amazing as well. They made such a great team. Other than marrying my husband, the best decision I ever made was to have Caitlinn as our photographer for such a special day. Now I am able to relive our wedding over and over and still feel on cloud 9 because the photographs are so magical
Caitlinn and Laurel are the absolute best!! Caitlinn photographed my two sisters' weddings, so it was an easy choice when I needed to select a photographer for mine as she is wonderful to work with. They did a beautiful job on both our engagement shoot and wedding. Caitlinn and Laurel are energetic, creative, fun, and made us extremely comfortable throughout all the photos. And everything comes out absolutely stunning. The quality, lighting, and look of their photos is the absolute best. We feel so grateful to have all of our amazing wedding memories captured by Caitlinn and Laurel.
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.
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!
HIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!!
To say I am obsessed with Caitlinn’s work would be a major understatement! She was our photographer for our wedding in the Hudson Valley in late May 2023. The events of the day were supposed to be half inside and half outside, as the venue had a super gorgeous property with lots of outdoor areas for photos. Unfortunately, it ended up raining A LOT that day, so we had to shift things around and move everything indoors. Caitlinn was familiar with the property as she had photographed weddings at the venue before, but she had never done a fully indoor wedding there. She and her co-photographer, Laurel, quickly jumped into action to scope out the place and find the most gorgeous places to take photos indoors. We also caught a break in the rain before the reception, so Caitlinn and Laurel got us outside to get some of the beautiful shots outside we were hoping for!
Not only did our photos turn out incredible but they were both a blast to hang out with all day. Also, I kid you not, in less than 24 hours she sent a sneak peek of our photos (~80 images) and got us the full photo set (over 1800 pictures) SO quickly! The photos couldn’t have turned out any better! They perfectly captured our love and the excitement of the day. The photos were the perfect mix of your traditional posed photos and the true candids documenting all the special moments. I cannot rave enough about how great Caitlinn & Laurel were in helping make our special day even more perfect! I without a doubt recommend her to any and every one looking for an amazing wedding photographer!!
This review is long overdue, but our approaching anniversary made me realize I still hadn’t shared how amazing Caitlinn is and how important she was to our whole wedding journey.
Caitlinn was with us since day one. My husband hired her to photograph our proposal and take our engagement pictures right then and there. It was a magical experience and she made us feel so comfortable. I never thought I’d like getting my picture taken so much, but when Caitlinn is behind the camera it’s so much fun!
The venue we picked was on the far side of Connecticut, hours away, so we initially started looking for a different photographer. Thank goodness we came to our senses! And thank goodness when we did, Caitlinn was still available. We were so thrilled to be working with her again.
As the wedding got nearer, we realized that we were going to have to downsize due to restrictions, and enough of our family and friends wouldn’t be able to join us that we started planning wedding part 2 for a year after the original. Caitlinn was such a key part of our vendor team, that we picked the second date based on her availability. She’s that good.
And what makes her so good? She’s a brilliant photographer, she makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, she is an absolute joy to be around. She’s someone my gramma’s friend would call a pistol. Just full of zeal and energy and humor but totally down to earth and fun. All that combines to make her a fantastic person to work with. Your photographer is one of the people you spend the most time with on your wedding day, and you will not regret spending the day with Caitlinn. Even more so when you get your GORGEOUS pictures back! Caitlinn photographed our proposal, our original wedding, and wedding part 2 and she delivered every time. It means so much having all these memories so beautifully captured.
Where do I begin? Caitlinn and Brian are two truly incredible and TALENTED human beings. Our wedding day would not have been the same without them. Their vision is truly unmatched. Not only are they super spontaneous, fun, and creative but they are the best in the business. OUR FULL WEDDING GALLERY WAS READY IN TWO WEEKS. TWO WEEKS!!! That is unheard of! I am a wedding vendor myself, and I consider myself so fortunate to have been able to snag them for our wedding! They are truly my favorite photographers to work with. I am not very big on taking photos of myself, posting personal things on social media, or loving what I see on the other end of the camera and let me tell you…. I have posted about every possible photo this wonderful duo has taken for us. Even our engagement shoot was amazing. I can honestly say, I have never hiked 2 miles to the top of a mountain after a snow storm to take photos by a waterfall. AND THEN GOT OUR FULL EDITS BEFORE WE EVEN ARRIVED HOME! It just goes to show how passionate they are about their work. I’ve been trying to find an excuse to have them photograph us again. Hopefully sometime soon... thank you for everything Caitlinn and Brian. You guys are the real MVP and deserve 100 stars!
Where to begin with Caitlinn and Brian? The Ramsdens were the first vendors we decided on and the only vendor I cared to keep when we had to change our entire wedding due to COVID (so much so, that I planned our new date around them)... I came across their photos on a blog and my decision was all but made - decision was solidified within SECONDS of facetiming with them. It instantly felt like we were connecting with friends that just happened to have the most talented eye for wedding photography in the world.
On our wedding day, I was a bundle of nerves until Caitlinn and Brian walked into the room where I was getting ready. I was immediately at ease and just full of joy. Our families adored them, and currently we cannot speak to a single friend or family member without them absolutely gushing about our wedding photos. The day was something out of a dream and we get to re-live it over and over again in full color and feeling thanks to our photos.
I have wanted the Ramsdens to be my wedding photographers long before I was even engaged. I made sure to only book our wedding venue on a date that the Ramsdens had available. Believe me when I say this, I couldn’t stop bragging about how fortunate i was to be able to snag these amazing humans !! These two not only take amazing pictures but are some of the best people I’ve ever met. We had our dream wedding booked for two years and unfortunately due to COVID were not able to have it. My husband and I decided to elope on our original date and were lucky enough to have Brian and Caitlinn apart of it. The pictures are some of the most incredible pictures I’ve ever seen. I can’t thank these two enough for everything they have done for us. Save yourself some time, no other photographers can even compare!
Brian and Caitlinn are truly incredible! Before even booking our wedding I had seen their work on Instagram and knew that we needed to have them as our photographers. We first met them in Spring of 2019 for our engagement shoot (in the pouring rain at 5:45AM for a shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge!) and knew we made the right decision as soon as we met. Caitlinn is bubbly and helps make those oh so awkward moments when you are posing for photos feel natural, and Brian is super organized and made sure we got through every shot on our list. We had planned to have them shoot our Spring 2020 wedding, which got severely derailed by COVID-19. They were incredibly empathetic and so wonderfully flexible as we navigated the panic of rescheduling to a new date, and then totally pivoting to a micro-wedding. The photos that we got are truly incredible - they captured our day so perfectly and I honestly cannot believe it is us in some of the photos. They are the full package - incredibly talented artists, excellent planners (no added stress day of!), kind and fun! If you are thinking of booking them, do it. You will be so happy - both with the experience of working with them and the beautiful photos that you will cherish forever.
The Ramsdens captured our wedding perfectly! Their photos are incredible. Every person we've shared our album with has echoed how gorgeous the photos are. The Ramsdens really care about photographing the moments that matter to you, the couple, and make sure to create space to get stunning photos, away from the craziness of the day. They were so easy (and fun) to work with, and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. We can't recommend them enough - we look at the photos constantly!!
Caitlinn and Brian are the most epic professional powerhouses that anyone would ever hope to find. Having met The Ramsdens in a professional environment three years ago, I quickly realized that if the day ever came that I would require a wedding photographer, I would choose them without question or hesitation.
It was a privilege to have Caitlinn and Brian document such an important day in the life of myself, my husband and our daughter. In the months leading up to the wedding, there was never an email or question left unanswered or any detail not touched upon.
On the day of the wedding, I woke up with anticipation for the adventures they would lead us on to get nothing but the most amazing photographs. Suited up in my white wedding dress and heals, I had all the confidence in the world as I climbed on rocks over a waterfall, as Caitlinn climbed into a tree behind me to achieve a shot that was nothing short of incredible. If I were cold on what was our brisk November wedding day, Brian was never too far away lending me his coat. My husband and I did not have to worry about becoming thirsty as we took photos either, because yes, they thought of that too.
As the night progressed into the ceremony and reception, I would have sworn they were ninjas because they were here and there at every important moment, seeing things they knew we would want documented before we did or even knew were happening ourselves.
Hiring The Ramsdens will ensure you not only a couple with an amazing work ethic with a precise attention to detail, but also a couple with unparalleled kindness, adventurous spirit, infectious energy and talent.
My husband and I are forever grateful to have met Caitlinn and Brian, and even more grateful that it was The Ramsdens who were there capturing our memories. Their talent and the professional service they offer are without question, unbeatable, and they may or may not be two of the most rad people you’ll ever meet.
Future Brides! This is my letter to you, it's going to go fast and you're going to wish you can pause for a moment in time so you can enjoy and take in everything, but you can't, it's not possible! This is where solid and beautiful photography comes in. There is nothing worse than a bad photographer taking all your hard work and showcasing it in a way that doesn't live up to your expectations or do YOU, your husband or the venue justice. Not the case with The Ramsdens, this husband and wife duo not only love "love", but they both love what they do and it shows in their work. They take great pride in everything they do from their IG posts to their relationships with their brides & grooms, they want you to be happy but #1 make sure you get ALL the photos you asked for on your wedding day which I appreciated. The e-mail communication is constant and helpful and they don't take "forced" or "posed" photos which I like. I trusted them throughout my wedding day because I knew no matter what, the photos would come out fiyahhh. I'm also not into glossy photos, gaudy decor, lacquer bounded photo albums so if that's your thing, no judgement but these guys are not for you. Let their photos speak for themselves, and while photography is quite expensive, trust when I say it's one of those things you can't skimp out on because it will for SURE reflect in the outcome and even your day depending on how professional they are. I also know TR aren't taking as many weddings as they used to so if you're thinking of hiring them do so ASAP especially if they have your wedding date, you won't regret it!!!
The TLDR Version:
The work:
The Ramsdens are hands down the best wedding photographers in the Hudson Valley. Their talent speaks for itself - you can 100% be assured that you will get the best moments of your special day captured.
The people:
Caitlinn and Brian are extremely, kind, thoughtful, considerate, sweet, fun, and easygoing people. They are extremely easy to work with and were very very responsive throughout the entire year we worked with them. They are as enthusiastic and as excited about your wedding day as you are. They are phenomenally professional and detail oriented. They never rush you, make you comfortable in the moment (despite how awkward it is) and help you and your SO look the best you can during the craziness of the day.
My husband and I love our photos and I am trying very hard not to spam my friends and family with the photos that we have received. Which by the time, I had SEVERAL friends get married in the weeks before I did, and we received our photos before they did. We received all of our photos in under three weeks. That is unheard of. My husband and I did a small separate elopement and had to hire a separate photographer and it took almost a month and a half and we received a lot less photos.
That was the TLDR version.
Here is the long version.
When I first started my journey by creating a Pinterest board of what kind of shots I would like our photographer to take of the wedding day, I saw The Ramsdens work everywhere and I kept pinning them. After too many pins, I realized the work I was obsessed with was from the same photographers and decided to take a look to see if they would be local to me. And I was so blessed to find not only were they local to me, they were right in the Hudson Valley and regulars at the wedding venue I was getting married at. It could not have been more perfect.
I am also an extremely nitpicky person. To give you a sense of what that means, I tried on 70 wedding dresses before deciding the right one. Even though my gut instinct screamed at me, The Ramsdens are the one, you should hire them, to make sure I was making the right choice I went through the routine of looking at other work just to see if anyone could compare. I searched high and low to see if anyone could compare and they did not. Just looking at people's work it wasn't even a fair shot.
I am also very awkward in photos. I do not like being photographed from many and various specific angles because I have a flat profile, make weird faces, and am always blinking. The Ramsdens managed to capture me in the most flattering way possible so that I don't hate the way I look in pictures (because I usually do). My husband is luckily very photogenic so he was not as concerned about this point as I was.
In fact, I thought The Ramsdens only photographed only hot couples because everyone seems excruciatingly beautiful and good looking in all their posts. But it's not the couples, it's them, they are magic and make everyone look like models with their skills.
Your wedding photos are an investment and they are worth the investment in every single way possible. THERE WILL ONLY BE REGRETS IF YOU DON'T HIRE THEM.
Hire them right now. We felt so incredibly lucky to have the Ramsdens at our wedding. Cait and Brian made us feel so comfortable right from day 1. Our engagement shoot photos killed us; they are truly works of art and the Ramsdens magically captured us in our best light. On my wedding day, being the neurotic/OCD person I am, I was feeling overwhelmed but immediately felt better when the Ramsdens arrived. They are fun, calming, and laid back. They were also extremely organized and patient; capturing photos of the five million people in my wedding party, making sure we captured all the photos I said ahead of time I wanted, and getting the perfect mix of staged and candid shots. I mean, take a look at their Instagram, the photos speak for themselves. My husband and I just spent like 10 hours trying to whittle down the amazing wedding photos they shot - how is it possible to choose only 70 for a photo album when we love them all?? Thank you guys so much!!! Love, Cait and Mike
The Ramsdens are absolutely amazing!! My husband Kevin and I knew early on in our wedding planning that the most important thing to us was having great wedding and engagement pictures. We wanted the day captured so we would always be able to look back and remember our day and the love we share for each other. We looked around a few different ones but completely fell in love with the photos that The Ramsdens had on their website. Such magic in those photos! And then we met Caitlinn and Brian in person and knew we made a great choice! These two have such a great energy and personality that made every photo session a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Thanks again for everything guys!
I can't say enough about The Ramsdens and the photos they took of our wedding! They were amazing to work with throughout the entire wedding process, especially with how professional, relaxed, and fun (all at the same time) they were on our wedding day!
They work so quickly, know exactly the photos needed, and got us to our cocktail hour so that we could spend as much time with friends and family as possible!
They even turned around some preview pictures after a day - I very quickly went over my mobile data while we were on our honeymoon because I couldn't stop looking at them! The turn around for the rest of the photos was not long after that, which is amazing as I've had friends who had to wait MONTHS for their pictures.
If you need any more proof, look at their Instagram! (Bonus pictures of their dogs & cats there, too!)
We picked The Ramsdens based on their 845 area code. Having met in the 845, we had a good feeling and were hopeful to find some like-minded photographers. We eagerly met them back in our favorite 845 town to take our engagement photos on a chilly morning at the (literal) crack of dawn. After hours of taking photos in some of our favorite places- including the middle of a road between bursts of traffic, and hiking a semi-frozen waterfall- we were excited and headed home. Merely two hours after our shoot ended, I received an email from The Ramsdens with our "sneak peek photos" and after opening it, I demanded my fiance pull over. We were in truly in awe of what they captured. Needless to say, the wedding pictures were even better. Brian & Caitlin capture emotions and little moments that could otherwise be forgotten in such a big event. We are so lucky they captured ours.
After having our very first conversation with the Ramsdens, we knew we were in the best hands. Caitlinn and Brian make the entire of process of meeting, booking, and photographing extremely seamless and enjoyable! They are two of most adventurous people we have ever met, and it makes for unbelievable photos! One of the most amazing things about our experience was the turnaround time of our photos. I can ASSURE you, you will never get photos back quicker than with the Ramsdens. This is a testament to their overwhelming passion and love for capturing the most elegant photos of two people in love. You are made to feel so important, yet very relaxed and comfortable throughout the process. Trusting Brian and Cait on the biggest day of our lives was incredibly easy and exciting, and we got the most amazing product! They are masters of their craft; true artists!
We found Caitlinn and Brian to be very easy to work with and very creative photographers. We also found them to be patient with finding good spots for taking photos on a very hot summer day. They were on time, fun, and made the experience enjoyable.
We received the photos back very quickly after. Our only complaint is that many of the bridal party photos were cut off, people missing, people hiding behind the other. It just seemed unfair to pay an amount and the photographer not let us know while taking the shots that people were cut out. It was like one on each side not in the photo for most of them.
I am SO beyond happy we were able to have the Ramsdens as our photographers on our wedding day. They were so amazing and easy to work with and the pictures are stunning. We are so grateful they were apart of our special day.
The Ramsdens were the one vendor that I knew I HAD to have for my wedding. When our venue had only two dates left for 2019, and The Ramsdens were available, I knew it was fate! At every vendor meeting, when we mentioned that The Ramsdens were our photographers, the other vendors would say, "you have the best of the best!" and "you are in good hands!" And it is the TRUTH! Caitinn and Brian have an artistic eye that is unmatched. Aside from being incredible photographers, they are also genuinely kind humans. Throughout our entire wedding day they helped to make my husband and I feel comfortable, beautiful, and completely at ease. I kind of felt like a celebrity and it really started going to my head! They sent us our sneak peek the next day and blew us away. I cannot put into words how happy we are with our decision to work with The Ramsdens. They are amazing and we love them.
When my husband and I were researching who we wanted to shoot our wedding, we wanted to work with someone who didn’t just shoot posed fake photos on the weekends, but work with someone who was truly passionate about their work. We lucked out and found TWO individuals, Caitlinn and Brian, who are exactly that - the most real and honest people who simply love what they do and it truly shows through their pictures. They capture the most natural of moments, in the most flattering lighting creating magic. Their work is just unbelievable. We LOVED working with them so much and they have captured such a monumental moment in our lives in ways that we couldn’t even imagine. The planning process was so easy - they answered all of our questions in a timely manner, listened to our requests and made the wedding so easy and seamless for us and our family and friends. Everyone in our party can't stop complimenting them :). Stop searching and just book Caitlinn and Brian already! It will be the best decision you make.
A few years ago a good friend of mine booked The Ramsdens for her wedding and she immediately called me and said “when you get engaged these are going to be your photographers too!”.
My fascination with their, what can only be referred to as, art, began then.
When my fiancé and I got engaged we immediately reached out to The Ramsdens and they were super prompt, beyond friendly, and professional in their responses! I can honestly say that working with The Ramsdens was a highlight of my engagement and my wedding! Their work is unparalleled, I’ve literally never seen more gorgeous and unique photographs — and the two of them are out of these world amazing! Over the year and a half since booking them we have developed a lovely friendship and we feel so blessed to have shared this time in our life with them! They made the engagement shoot and wedding day so fun and easy! They delivered both of our galleries super quick and the final products were beyond my wildest dreams! These photos are something we will cherish our entire life!
I honestly can not say enough great things about these two! If you’re lucky enough to have a date where they are available — do not hesitate, book them immediately!!!
Talent is defined as a special natural ability or aptitude. The Ramsdens’ talent is something to envy. While they are a talented photography duo, first and foremost, they are so much more: creative, professional, attentive, and fun! I cannot imagine any other pair capturing our wedding day in the way that they did.
As Caitlinn captures all components of your big day, you feel like you’re the only person who matters. There are no awkward moments as every shot just feels very natural. Brian, her South African hubby with an awesome accent, not only ensured I was hydrated throughout the day, but he helped me navigate through guests during cocktail hour to make sure I ate. Put the two together and you have a truly special couple who is determined to make your special day PERFECT.
Thanks Ramsdens — The Bauers would give you 10 stars if we could!
I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE RAMSDENS!
1. Nicest, most down to earth, warmest couple you will ever meet, literally wish they were my friends
2. INCREDIBLY organized, you will never for a second have a doubt that they are ALL over it
3. THE PHOTOS ARE BREATH TAKING, literally before anyone says anything else about the wedding they say WOW THOSE PHOTOS
4. Made me feel so beautiful and so comfortable, the photos celebrate who we are as a couple but GLAMMIFIED
5. BRIAN LITERALLY KEPT ME FED AND GAVE ME WATER... like ACTUALLY they care SO SO MUCH, not just about the job but about YOU, every time i got overwhelmed for a moment they were there for me, they always had my back
6. DID I MENTION THE PHOTOS? they will get shots you can't even dream of, i post probably 50 a day because WOW
honestly.... not booking the ramsdens will be your only wedding regret, they will be in our lives forever, these are two of the best people i have met, and i am BLOWN away by their work and pure hearts. the best. simply the best.
It's hard to put into words how amazing Caitlinn & Brian really are. From the moment I started following these two on instagram, I fell in love with their work. After our first phone conversation with them, we immediately realized that these two were so passionate about what they do, that it really does shine through onto every couple they photograph. We booked them almost two years before our wedding and they kept in contact with us throughout that entire time, just to check in, which gave us such a warm welcoming feeling. When our wedding day came Caitlinn & Brian could not have done a more phenomenal job. They made us feel so comfortable from the beginning. Brian was so extremely sweet all day, offering me his jacket if I was cold, offering to get me food or drinks, telling our crazy family members (haha!) to kindly put their phones away during our ceremony so we could get the best photos possible...I could go on and on about genuine and kind things that he did. Every photograph we took was so natural thanks to them, nothing was overly posed. They are incredibly fast and efficient which means a lot on the day of a wedding especially when you have such a tight timeline like we did. They breezed through every single photo we required them to take, never ever making anything stressful for one second. After our incredible night was over, they already had a sneak peak for us that very next morning!!!! And we had our full gallery soon after that, the timing was way quicker than I could ever imagine or even expect. These two people are truly beautiful souls and I would recommend them to the highest, highest degree. We are so lucky to have been able to work with The Ramsden's, they made our day sincerely unforgettable.
Caitlinn and Brian were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. They are funny, enjoyable to be around and super professional with a fun side. They will do anything to get you the best photos you could ask for. I started to panic a couple of days before my wedding because we were having an outdoor ceremony and it was going to rain. So typically, I emailed Caitlin and Brian in a panic. They both personally called to reassure me the rain would not ruin any of the photos and that my husband and I would still get to go on our little adventure to take pictures. And like they said they would, they delivered over what I was expecting. They took the most amazing pictures inside, and as soon as I said I still wanted to trek out into the rain, they had their coats on and their cameras ready to go within seconds and trooped outside with us. It was one of the best experiences of my life. To be so happy, and carefree and have all of those moments captured. AND, on top of that, they had a 30 photo sneak peak gallery ready for me the day after my wedding and the full gallery wedding photos were delivered Tuesday night. If that’s not efficient, than I don’t know what is. When I had reached out to them to express interest in booking them, they had one date in October left and it wind up being mine and my husband’s wedding date. Without hesitation I booked them and I said it was a sign they were available because they were booking so far out into 2019. Booking Caitlinn and Brian to capture our wedding was the best decision I made. Their photos went beyond what I ever thought they could be.
Caitlinn and Brian Ramsden are the absolute best wedding photographers!! Not only is their work absolutely stunning but they are fun and at the same time give great direction to help get beautiful pictures and make the day go smoothly. We have a big family and had a big bridal party so there were a lot of people involved in pictures, but they got everyone together and the pictures completed before the ceremony without a hitch. Also, their turnaround time for pictures is insanely awesome! They were able to give me some pictures on my wedding day (iPhone pics), then a sneak peek of about 20 photos (high resolution) about two days later and then our entire gallery within a week of our wedding! As to our wedding pictures, they are breathtaking. I started crying just looking at them because I was so happy. The Ramsdens do not take dated, cheesy wedding pictures. What they can capture with a camera is pure magic. Their images are timeless and so full of life. They not only perfectly captured me and my husband and our loved ones, but they also captured the life around us- beautiful trees, blue skies and a golden sunset. I cannot wait to get these pictures printed and to show our family and friends. Thank you again Caitlinn and Brian!
You can stop your search for a wedding photographer because The Ramsdens are incredible!! From the moment we first reached out to them they were friendly and professional. They accommodated us when we wanted to have our engagement shoot out of their local area. When it came to our actual wedding day, both Caitlinn and Brian were so timely, efficient and fun. They made me feel at ease despite the wedding day chaos. Throughout the day, they seemed genuinely excited to be there and had ideas for creative shots in terms of location and lighting at our venue space. They are both naturally talented and intermittently showed us how the shots were coming out in real time which made me so excited! They have a way of taking photos without you feeling too posed. I don’t consider myself very photogenic and I honestly can’t believe how beautiful our wedding photos came out. They sent us a sneak peek of our photos in 24 hours and sent us ALL of the edited photos within 4 days! Our family and friends have not stopped talking about how great Caitlinn and Brian were at our wedding either. I can’t say enough positive things about The Ramsdens!
I don’t even know where to start with how much we love Caitlinn and Brian. I knew right away when they were a fellow international couple, that we would click. And I was right! From the first email, to our fun bbq together, to our wedding day- it was perfection. Prior to meeting, they were always quick with responding to emails and I often chatted with either of them over social media as well which was fun! After meeting in person, we felt even more at ease and knew for sure we made the right decision choosing them. On our wedding day they made us feel so comfortable! On a day that was a bit chaotic (our family and friends really know how to party), they maintained professionalism and made us and our guests their priority. Many of our guests came up to me during the wedding to say how great they were and how they even showed some of our guests the photos they were taking throughout the night. What you see is what you get with them, but even more! They truly are artists and their work is incredible. There is not enough I can say about their work ethic either. They had our sneak peek ready 24 hours after our wedding! I have friends who have been married and did not get their photos back for 6 months, so this was shocking! They aren’t just our photographers, but now our friends :)
My husband and I were married a little over a year ago and chose The Ramsdens as our photographers. BEST decision in our wedding planning process! Caitlinn and Brian were AMAZING in every way. From being so genuine and easy going in the beginning stages of the paperwork process, to making our engagement shoot one of the best days EVER, to calming me down the day of the wedding, to being SO happy for us after the "I do's", to seeing us the next day (while I was still in my wedding dress) and having the best sense of humor, and to providing us with the most beautiful photos of our special day.
We framed and hung many photos both from our engagement shoot and wedding in our home and in my office at work! They are too beautiful to not look at every day.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer, choose The Ramsdens! Not only are the super talented but also great people who you will look forward to spending your special day with! Just book them already ;)
The Ramsdsens are simply amazing! They always find the best locations to take the most incredible photos. They are so much fun to be around and help keep you calm and relaxed throughout the day. I can't say enough good things about them. You definitely want them to photograph your wedding!
The Ramsdens were the best decision we ever made for our wedding. They are both so personable, professional and amazing at what they do. We got all the pictures we wanted taken even in bad weather and couldn't be happier how they came out. They were very accommodating to us all day long and captured beautiful memories.
I’m a wedding planner who’s been in the wedding industry for the better part of a decade, so I feel that I’m uniquely qualified to say that Caitlin & Brian are special. If you’re looking for intimate, artful and straight up gorgeous photos, look no further. If you’re looking for photographers who will be your greatest advocates and be personable and professional all at the same time, you’re in the right place. These two make magic. After your wedding, you’ll have your spouse and your photos — so choose your partner and photographers wisely. You won’t regret hiring the Ramsdens.
This dynamic and passionate duo worked us in for an impromptu (did I mention they LOVE adventure & will follow you to the edge of a cliff for the best shot?!) shoot in the woods. Due to military service and a crazy law enforcement schedule, we haven’t had professional photos done in 6 years. The Ramsden’s were absolutely professional, fabulous, and magical to work with. If you have to change your wedding date to get them booked? Do it.
I used Caitlinn for my engagement shoot , wedding, and boudoir shoot and she was nothing short of amazing and professional! She communicated regularly and clearly, was genuine in all of her interactions with me, and provided my husband and I with captured memories that could not have been more perfect... and it didn’t stop there! She also arranged a surprise photo shoot to capture my husband’s response to my pregnancy with our first baby and I couldn’t be more grateful to have had her photograph such emotions that I can share with my family forever. Her photography and professionalism was so impactful that she was hired by half of my bridesmaids for their weddings that took place after mine! If you want a professional photographer who will blend with your event and capture breathtaking photographs of your special day while also being super cool and a genuinely nice person, definitely book her ASAP!
To say that we have had the most INCREDIBLE experience with The Ramsdens would be a total understatement. Not only did the quality in their craft surpass all of my expectations but the amount of care, customer service and genuine interest in our wants and needs blew our minds. They were so attentive and supportive in our entire wedding process from the first email and phone call, up until the wedding day. We didn’t even get a chance to meet in person before hand and they were already like our friends! I couldn’t now imagine having booked any other photographers for the happiest event in our lives. Any other decision would have been a mistake. Thank you for EVERYTHING you’ve done for us and all of the other clients who love you. Our day was better having you a part of it!
I was so excited to book the Ramsdens when I got engaged - come to find they were the complete opposite of what they appeared to be on their social media. I feel so disappointed as so many rave their work, but I unfortunately have to rate low not because of the quality of their work, but the lack of customer service they displayed to me. Your wedding day is the most emotional day of your life, I expected better communication and support. After I booked them I thought things would change, but I can’t say i felt the love in our email conversations. Other reviews suggest they met for coffee or Skype interviews - I just don’t understand why there wasn’t the time of day for me when I scheduled my entire wedding day (venue and all) around their availability and praised their work! Hopefully others have a better experience but wanted to share an honest review! Maybe we just weren’t a good fit, but there is never an excuse to be rude to someone.
Talk about a dream team. Brian and Caitlinn were everything we hoped they would be and more. In addition to being incredibly talented behind the lens, they have an abundance of other qualities that sets them a cut above the rest. They are organized, efficient, calm, caring, upbeat, charismatic, and down right incredible. (A unicorn if you ask me)
They kept us on schedule, provided comfort in my stressed out bride moments, and have been so transparent with all the facts and information regarding our wedding images.
They left an impact not only on us, but with our guests, venue, and other vendors that were a part of our big day. EVERYONE raved about them.
The pictures have exceeded our expectations and I can't stop sharing them with anyone and everyone. (Literally everyone)
These two are the best money can buy. If you book The Ramsdens for your wedding day, you'll be counting your lucky stars.
Thank you for being so amazing Ramsdens!
Honestly hands down the best pictures I have ever seen!! I love literally every picture the Ramsdens took of my wedding and they were so sweet and nice to work with. I knew that rain or shine my wedding photos would be amazing because all of they're pictures are absolutely stunning! I would 100% recommend them!!
We booked Brian and Caitlinn over a year prior to our wedding. We had no idea what we were doing, but I knew I wanted to hire photographers we'd feel totally comfortable with. We met with them at a starbucks- loved them, their work and their passion. We booked them that night and are so, so glad we did. Our photos are just more than we could have ever hoped for. We had a big wedding with lots of people, lots of siblings, lots of bridal party and they handled it like such champs and true professionals. They communicated with us throughout the night and never pulled us away at bad times. We had so many people tell us how much they loved our photographers (before they even saw the pictures, but after seeing the pictures they loved them even more). We feel really lucky to have found them and had them be a part of our day.
If you are looking for genuine and extremely talented photographers look no further. Booking the Ramsdens as our photographers was the best money we spent on our wedding.
I first came across the Ramsdens when my husband and I got engaged and we decided we would be married in the Hudson Valley. I was stunned by their work and knew I wanted them to photograph this new journey for my soon to be husband and I.
From the first interaction over email we knew that not only were the Ramsdens talented, but were also very kind and genuinely interested in our relationship and how they could capture our love. They felt like friends before we had even met them in real life!
We took our engagement photos and even though it was a drizzly and cloudy day, somehow they captured the most beautiful photos of us. I have never received so many compliments in my life until I shared these photos with family and friends! They make you feel so comfortable and capture photos of you that you didn't even know were possible. It's unreal.
On our wedding day, they were so easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. They brought ease and calmness to the day and I cannot say enough good things about them. It's now been over 2 weeks since my wedding and we just received the wedding photos....and once again, we are blown away.
Caitlinn & Brian - Thank you for being you! We will continue to be fans and hope one day that we will have the opportunity to work with you both again. Cheers! :)
The BEST decision I could have made for my wedding day!!! I’ve admired The Ramsdens Instagram and all their beautiful talent and magic for some time now and I’m so so grateful I was able to work with them for my wedding. Caitlinn and Brian aren’t just the best photographers they are the best humans, especially to have on the day of your wedding! They were amazing through the planning process and when the day came I couldn’t have been happier and more relaxed. I felt at ease all day knowing that the two of them were capturing all the moments. Brian showed me glimpses of some shots throughout the day and was so kind to hold my flowers and stick by me during the cocktail hour. Bottom line is they are the bomb diggity and I assure you you’ll be nothing but ecstatic to work with them!!!
Caitlinn and Brian were our photography fairy godparents. They simply are amazing, and I cannot recommend them enough. I fell in love with their work through their Instagram, and I feel so eternally grateful to them for capturing every moment of our day. They bring such passion and excitement, and it was incredible to work with them from inquiry to beyond our wedding day. Their professionalism and high-level of knowledge kept me calm throughout the process and our wedding day. Their energy and positive attitudes kept our energy up even more throughout our day! (Like many, my now husband does not enjoy having his photo taken. Caitlinn and Brian made him feel relaxed and comfortable, and even he enjoyed the process!!) Brian took some iPhone photos throughout the day to give us a preview - one photo he took had our families in tears it was so spectacular. They simply are the best and the people you want to document your wedding day.
Caitlinn and Brian were recommended to me by Hollow Brook Golf Club's very own coordinator, Robbyn. Let me tell you, they were simply a dream to work with! The pair were so accommodating with our hectic work schedules that we Skyped before we even met them in person! My husband and I are very laid back; Caitlinn and Brian are extremely similar. I feel like I have known them forever! Our journey with them began in August of last year when we had our engagement shoot. The day was hot, but the pictures were breathtaking. On April 7, 2018, our wedding day, it was very cold and the pictures were still amazing! Caitlinn and Brian executed my romantic, woodsy fantasy effortlessly. I cannot thank them enough for coming into our lives and delivering magic we can have for the rest of our lives!
I waited far too long to write this review considering how hugely and perfectly they impacted our lives. We love the Caitlinn and Brian and are forever grateful to have had them as our wedding photographers. Photography was my #1 priority for our wedding and I could not be more happy with the result.
When I first reached out to the Ramsdens I had a general wedding date in mind, but when I heard they wouldn't be available, I immediately changed our date. It was so worth it. On 5.6.17 we had a magical mountaintop wedding with bizarre yet beautiful weather and they captured it with a sense of adventure, excitement, ease and brilliance. They are incredibly kind, warm and spirited, and make you feel at home wherever you are. They will help make your wedding day perfect. http://wearetheramsdens.com/ariel-dave-stormy-mountaintop-wedding-at-mountain-creek/
I can't forget to mention that we received our album link while we were on our honeymoon right after the wedding! That may not happen every time because we were the first wedding of the season, but we also received our engagement shoot photos really quickly! They are extremely hard workers and it shows. Everything, from the gorgeous, leather bound album we received to the full-size photos with stand, beautiful wooden box and more shows their impeccable attention to detail. Caitlinn was always quick to respond and helpful throughout everything.
Our engagement shoot with them was just as incredible. They shared some location options based on our interests and when we picked our favorites they gave hints that Dover Stone Church would be awesome - it really, really was! It's a gem and it will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we never would have found it without the Ramsdens.
Word is spreading and they get booked up very quickly, so if you're lucky, you'll have an incredible wedding with the Ramsdens as your photographers.
Caitlinn and Brian are hands down THE BEST! From initially contacting them to inquire about availability to receiving sneak-peak photos after the wedding, they have been absolutely amazing. They are super responsive to emails and calls and we really appreciated their quick correspondence throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, Caitlinn and Brian were ALL-STARS! The weather was freezing but they captured our dream shots outside! Throughout the day, Brian checked in not only with us but our bridal party and family members to make sure everyone was having fun and that everyone was warm and had food and drinks. He also showed us photos throughout the day which helped keep us motivated to keep taking photos in the cold and made us so excited because of how incredible the photos were!! Caitlinn was also an all-star on wedding day, doing whatever it took to get the right shot and making it the most relaxed and fun experience. They arrived early, stayed on schedule, organized the bridal party and family shots with ease, worked well with our videographer, and most importantly were SO FUN to work with!! Within just a few days, we had a stunning gallery of over 100 photos to enjoy that perfectly captured who we are as a couple. We cannot thank Caitlinn and Brian enough! Booking The Ramsdens will be the best wedding planning decision you can make!!
Caitlinn and Brian made our dreams come true on our wedding day. They captured some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen, as well as any one I have showed them to. They are both so passionate about what they do that working with them was so easy, especially because my groom HATES taking pictures. As we were shooting pictures Brian was taking a few shots on his iPhone and showing us. I literally cried at how breath taking they were. We felt as if we were in some magical winter wonderland. We were getting so excited about what else they had in store for us.
They smiled all day long even though it was 10 degrees outside and with each shot they took they were just as excited as us. Caitlinn had fun all day long constantly looking for the perfect spot to capture the beauty of the day. Their photography is amazing and they are also the most chill people ever! During our reception I was trying to sit for a few minutes to have a bite and Brian came over and told me he was going to stand guard so I had 5 minutes to relax and enjoy the food, and HE DID! Which was so kind.
Our weekend was New Year’s Eve weekend and they were so quick to send us a sneak peek of our photos by New Years Day. They are so professional and precise. They were such a PLEASURE to work with! If you want all the magic captured on your wedding day The Ramsdens are the one to do it!
We cannot say enough great things about Caitlinn and Brian. They were absolutely fabulous and made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable and natural. Their work is so amazing and beautiful, people are still talking about our photos! Every photo is so natural and we can’t thank them enough. They’re timely and organized and I didn’t have to worry about a thing our wedding day. Their work reflects the beautiful people they are! Thank you!!
Caitlinn and Brian are AMAZING. It is easy to tell from their extensive portfolio of work, that they are truly gifted photographers, but they are also wonderful people who made my wife and I feel comfortable, relaxed and confident throughout an engagement shoot and our wedding day. They are extremely organized yet flexible, and handled two large families and a rowdy wedding party like pros. We couldn’t stop looking through the beautiful photos when they arrived shortly after our big day. We can’t thank them enough. Would HIGHLY recommend.
I could talk to and spend all day with this extremely talented and kindhearted couple. Caitlinn and Brian are two very special people, both individually and together. Let me start by saying that it was so fun being photographed by them. I loved that they didn't waste any time telling us how to pose or what to do. Except for stepping into a field of tall grass and wildflowers, which was awesome and now we have the most gorgeous photos. Their style is so unique and natural, which was very appealing to me and I couldn't be happier with all of my photographs. Brian was a gem that day, he constantly asked if I needed anything and offered to hold my bouquet in between moving around the grounds. Who even realized how heavy a bouquet would be? At one point they could see I was getting a bit frustrated because we were waiting outside cocktail hour for family members and it was taking longer then expected. They did everything they could to speed things up and get us food/drinks. It meant a lot to us knowing they truly cared about our happiness and enjoyment the entire day. During the reception we barely knew they were there, it was so refreshing since I've noticed at many weddings that the bride and groom were always missing to take photos.
Lastly, I couldn't believe the very next day I received a "sneak peek" with tons of photos. In 3 weeks we received all of them just as we returned from our honeymoon. Our photos are romantic, stunning and unique. We absolutely love them! Overall, The Ramsdens are lovely people, I would recommend them to everyone and would love to work with them again someday!!! Thank you Caitlinn & Brian :)
I could rave about this husband and wife duo all day! I was following their work before I was even engaged and just knew I had to hire them. Leading up to my big day, the weather wasn't looking the best, and I sent a text to Caitlinn and Brian in sheer panic. Not even two minutes later did they call and completely put my mind at ease and reassured me everything was going to be perfect. The Ramsdens are so much more than just two photographers showing up the day of your wedding-- they actually care about their clients and want to help you in any way possible. They were truly a pleasure to work with from start to finish. (P.S. the weather turned out to be perfect, just like they said!)
We are so thankful to have had Caitlinn and Brian as our wedding photographers. From the very first time I saw a photo they shot at our wedding venue, I was obsessed and was so happy when they had our date available. Not only are they insanely talented but they are two of the most genuinely wonderful people we've ever met. They made our wedding day a breeze. Leading up to the day they put together a timeline for us, outlining who would be taking pictures when, and where -and were so on top of making sure we had all of the shots we wanted. They were so attentive and really cared about us enjoying the day. At one point during the reception Brian even played bodyguard in front of our table to make sure we got a few free minutes to eat. The day after the wedding they sent us a sneak peek of our photos and I can't even believe they're real. They're amazing and we cannot wait to see the rest. We can't say it enough. Caitlinn and Brian - THANK YOU SO MUCH. You made our perfect day so spectacular.
My husband and I got married this past August and we could not be more thrilled with The Ramsdens. They are not only beautiful photographers but they are absolutely beautiful people. From our engagement photos to our wedding day they were professional, kind, and so talented. On our wedding day Caitlin and Brian made us feel like a king and queen and were such calm presences who got the job done! They are so creative and you can tell they absolutely love what they do! I cannot say enough about their work, each time I look at my photographs I feel like it's all a fairy tale. We love them so much!
Caitlinn and Brian are not only brilliant photographers with such an eye for creativity, they are also amazing people. We had such a great time working with them. My husband and I knew from our first sit down with them that they were exactly who we wanted for our wedding. The Ramsdens are so laid back and really take into account each couples style. We had a large wedding party and each one of the party loved working with the Ramsdens as much as we did. The whole day, Brian constantly checked in on how everyone was doing and was extremely helpful. The work they produced is incredible. The Ramsdens were even able to make some of our non-photogenic friends look like models! We got married 3 weeks ago and already have all of our photos. It has been very difficult picking pictures to print because they are all perfect! We are truly thankful that we have such amazing photos to cherish forever!
The Ramsdens are a dream team and my husband and I could not have picked a better photographer. During our engagement session, they were so energetic and excited about the photos being taken, and it made my husband and I much more comfortable and excited for the wedding. They are so cool and personable that we were sad when the session was over with! On the day of the wedding, they were very perfectly professional, calming, and attentive. My bridal party told me multiple times how much they enjoyed having Brian and Caitlinn as photographers and commented on their great energy and kindness. Our wedding photo sneak peak came out 3 days after the wedding (so fast!!) and they were gorgeous.
