Hazelton Photography

Caitlin Hazelton and her partner Kate photographed our June 1st wedding. We couldn't be happier with how our pictures came out and that's just the sneak peek! Caitlin accommodated all of my requests and went out of her way to walk out venue with me prior to our wedding day. She literally made my wedding day look like a fairytale. I cant wait to see all of our wedding pictures!! We cant thank Hazelton Photography enough for exceeding our expectations.

My cousin found her dress at Veiled by Cha Cha, and was thrilled with it. The experience is truly wonderful. You will be the only bride in the store during your appointment, and Antoinetta really listens to what you're looking for. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a dress that was quite right, but I did find a beautiful veil that was perfect with my dress. Since she designs and makes the veils herself, we were able to customize one of her designs a bit. I've had so many compliments on the beadwork. Antoinetta was very sweet and helpful. I would highly recommend making an appointment with her.

Caitlin captured beautiful memories of our wedding day. She was recommended to us by our wedding venue, Riverside Receptions. We quickly fell in love with her beautiful landscape photos from other events. Prior to booking Caitlin, we met with her in person to allow everyone to get to know each other. This also allowed us to ask Caitlin some questions regarding what to expect from her and are assistant photographer should we hire them. Caitlin’s kind and calm demeanor – as well as attention to detail immediately won us over. Caitlin was easy to work with throughout the planning process. She did our engagement photos and recommended a beautiful park in Geneva. She is very knowledgeable about lighting, framing, and how to make you feel comfortable during a photo session. Prior to our wedding day, Caitlin sent us a questionnaire to pin point exactly what photos we were looking to have taken on our wedding day. SHE DID NOT MISS ANY REQUEST! She was flexible with our ideas and offered insight on how to make sure our day flowed smoothly from getting ready, the ceremony, family photos, bridal party, pictures of just us, and the reception. She even met with us the week of our wedding to walk the site of our venue and where post ceremony pictures would be. We were put at ease with her knowledge of the location and what scenes we could use as backgrounds. There was a high chance of rain on our wedding day, but Caitlin and her assistant photographer were prepared for anything. They had umbrellas on hand and had back up ideas for where to take pictures of there was rain after the ceremony. We lucked out with a beautiful summer day, but I was so thankful that she always had a plan. Caitlin allowed me to be a calm, happy bride because I knew she would capture our friends and family in their best light. The pictures speak for themselves with how beautiful they are. She sent us a USB drive with all of our pictures to keep. She also offers options to print our pictures or create albums. She and her assistant photographer captured so many intimate, fun, and special moments on our wedding day. She was wonderful to work with and allowed us to have beautiful pictures to remember our special day with. THANK YOU CAITLIN!

Where to start? Caitlin is amazing, and the rest of her team is as well. From the initial phone conversation, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding, Caitlin has been amazing. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding photographer. On the day of, Caitlin helped tremendously. She was so calm and helped me stay focused. She had amazing ideas and was a joy to work with. I cannot thank her enough. We cannot wait to see the magic she works on our wedding photos. Based on our engagement photos we know our wedding photos will be truly awesome!

This is a super late review and we feel really bad for posting this so late because Caitlin and Stephanie were just so awesome. We got married on 9/19/15 at Thompson Chicago. Our bridal suite was at the hotel along with the ceremony and the reception. My wife and I met when she came to Chicago on a business trip from Korea. So she didn't speak English very well at the wedding. Doesn't matter. Caitlin met with us at around 12:30pm and got started right away starting at the bridal suite. She was very patient with everyone and not once she forced anyone into an unnatural pose (which I've seen from other photographers). Everything seemed to be very fluent and part of our wedding story. They made everyone so comfortable. Before the wedding I met with Caitlin and told her about our "love story." Maybe because of that, she knew who we were (not just clients) and did an wonderful job with storytelling with her photos. We got the final album a few months later (a lot to do with our tardiness). The process was very smooth. We were fairly picky and made lots of requests but the album came out perfectly. Again, everyone in the photos looked so natural and happy. You can really tell the emotions of the people in the album as Caitlin captures the warmth and happiness so so so well. Anyway, you won't regret it. Thank you Caitlin. My wife just loved the whole experience and we still sometimes talk about how awesome Hazelton Photography was.

Caitlin was easy to work with and made you feel comfortable! She has excellent photos and a great eye!

Caitlin was everything we expected a great photographer to be, and much more. She is an ultimate professional in terms of a couple's guide from start to finish, the business handling and a unique eye to the vision we painted for our wedding. Loved her work and highly recommend! You must see her work: http://www.hazeltonphotography.com

I booked Caitlin based of a glowing recommendation from one of my friends. My husband and I were immediately impressed with her laid back approach; it made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Her photos are amazing, and she knows how to give direction without being pushy. When I showed our wedding photos to family and friends, everyone commented on her photo style and the amazing quality of the shots. Truly cannot say enough great things, will definitely be calling Hazelton photo for future professional photos :)

Caitlin Hazelton did a wonderful job at my wedding. She was on time to every event she was present for (rehearsal and actual ceremony), she was super friendly and took no time introducing herself to our parents and other people she would need to find later for photographs, and she was fun! She had great ideas for photos and wasn't weird about requests from us. We also had a request for large extended family photos and she had no problem with that. She kept us on task throughout the day alongside the venue's in house coordinator. We were having such a great time, that we totally forgot to do a few things and it was already like 9:30/10PM, so she found me and asked if we still wanted to do that or not. I'm super thankful she wasn't afraid to ask or something. She's got a variety of packages, can meet with you or do a phone conference, has no problem with requests, and is a friendly person. I was a happy bride!

Caitlin was excellent to work with from the beginning. She is very responsive and easy to get along with. She and her associate Kate did a great job on our wedding day and the pictures came out wonderfully. Neither my husband nor I are very comfortable in front of the camera, but they did a great job making us feel at ease and helping us have fun. She did a great job being everywhere to get great shots while blending in and not causing any distraction. Caitlin also did our engagement photos which came out beautifully!

Hazelton Photography was recommended by one of our other vendors and after interviewing Caitlin, hired her on the spot. Her calm demeanor and interest in getting to know us were key factors in our decision. Her photography was moving, creative and you could tell she is passionate about her work. The evening of our wedding, Caitlin showed up ready to go (I was not ready!!) so she spent some time with my then fiancé. She was thoughtful, considerate, creative and patient. Throughout the evening she was EVERYWHERE! I cant wait to see the photos and will review again but a huge thank you to Caitlin and Jesse for making us so comfortable on our wedding day.
