The big day!
We meet two months prior to your big day to finalize details, create a timeline, and finish up the family list. Then I arrive and start capturing all the details, memories, and moments and you get to relax and know that I have everything taken care of and you get to live in the moment... with your friends and family... and cherish every single second of your dream wedding.
Once we've decided we're the perfect match, the booking process begins! I send you a personalized online contract that goes over all the details. Everything is done online so it is so easy! You will be able to sign your contract and make payments online. Then we start planning your engagement session! Engagement sessions are included in all of my packages and allow us to get to know each other and find out what works best for you prior to wedding day!

Why engagement sessions matter
quick facts
"Cait and Elliott were incredible! Do not hesitate to book this girl! Cait answered every email and she helped me plan a timeline and our day was perfect because of the extra love and support they gave us!"
— Nicole & Justin
"Do not hesitate to book this girl! Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without her."
I can’t recommend Cait and her work enough. If you are looking for a photographer, you’ve found the best!! My fiancé doesn’t like smiling, and it’s difficult for us to get good pictures, but she had us both comfortable the entire day!
-Britney
"she can capture your most whimsical and unposed moments with grace."
Cait is so amazing! She responded to my emails and texts right away and it felt more like I was asking a friend for advice rather than hiring a photographer. Cait will take all of our family photos and I cannot recommend her enough!! I am so thankful I found her!
-Becky
"I thought I would hate getting my photo taken, but CAIT made it fun!"

Weddings are my absolute favorite. They’re not just about a single day—they’re about the laughter, the joy, and the memories that will last a lifetime. I love capturing the unfiltered moments that make your love story uniquely yours—the happy tears, the stolen glances, and the dance floor shenanigans that leave your cheeks sore from smiling.
I’m not just here to take photos; I’m here to make sure you feel comfortable, celebrated, and completely yourself. My goal is to create images that aren’t just beautiful but are you—authentic, full of life, and bursting with the emotions of your day. When you choose me, you’re getting more than a photographer—you’re getting someone who cares deeply about making your experience as joyful and stress-free as possible.
