    Best. Decision. Ever.

    Caitlin is not only an amazing photographer, but she's an incredible person. She is kind-hearted, patient with first timers and her infectious personality made me so excited to meet her on our wedding day!

    She was ultimately the reason we decided to get married in Maui when looking at Hawaii options for our destination wedding. I discovered Caitlin's work on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her photos. She captures the sweetest moments but makes everything look and feel very natural - totally effortless! When I connected with her, I knew right away she was exactly the person I wanted with us on the big day.

    My husband and I will be able to look at her beautiful pictures and relive those moments forever. It was truly the easiest and one of the best decisions we made. Thank you so much, Caitlin!

    Captured our magical day so perfectly!

    Caitlin was an absolute joy to work with. Not only is she incredibly friendly and kind, but she is a brilliant photographer. My husband and I were immediately drawn to her style and the unique way she utilizes light.

    We always wanted our wedding photos to reflect the joy we knew we’d feel on our wedding day, and Caitlin did exactly that. All of our photos are filled with amazing light, incredible colors, and she did a great job of capturing all the big and small candid moments as well.

    On our wedding day, I was a little self-conscious about my updo since it was a little windy and Caitlin made sure it was always looking good before each photo. She had great creative direction—from my veil blowing perfectly in the wind to advising my husband and I when to laugh, kiss, hold hands, look out in the distance, etc. for photos, she definitely captured the love, joy, and magic of our day perfectly.

    We were so thrilled to receive a handful of sneak peek pictures within 24 hours of our wedding and then one week later, we received about 45 pictures as a more robust sneak peek. Within two months, we received the full album.

    We would definitely choose to work with Caitlin again, and I would recommend her hands down to anyone looking for a wedding photographer on Maui. You won’t be disappointed!

    So in love with our wedding photos!!

    Caitlin truly captured our wedding so perfectly - our photos are even more beautiful than I imagined they would be! Her work stood out to me from my very beginning research... it seemed every photo I loved online was one of hers! I was really drawn to how her photos emphasize the natural beauty and emotions of the day and the gorgeous backdrop that is Maui. Throughout the whole process Caitlin was so friendly, she answered all the questions I had and helped with the shot list planning which I am immensely grateful for.

    On the day of she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I 100% trusted her for all the poses/tips and could not be happier. My sneak peeks and final photos were delivered exactly when she said as well which was awesome. She is so extremely talented and has such a great personality too! Absolutely loved working with her and can't recommend her enough!

    I signed up for the Wedding Wire just to review Caitlin because that's how wonderful of a photographer she is.

    We were extremely pleased to have Caitlin as our photographer when we got Maui'd in Sept 2018. My wife and I initially discovered Caitlin through our wedding planner. As part of our wedding budget, we would not skimp on photography. After some research, we're so glad we chose Caitlin as she offered so much more.

    As soon as we booked Caitlin through our wedding planner, she reached out to my wife and I immediately to get to know us better by asking us some questions and even following us on Instagram (10 months before our wedding). This was really heartfelt and we felt more at ease for our decision.

    As time caught up to the wedding day, we were greeted by all cheers and smiles. She was really in control of everything for photos and we really felt at ease. Even our guests complimented to us on how good and professional she was. Here's a list of some of the excellent things she did on the wedding day:
    - Helping remove fibers, leaves and etc. from our clothes and surrounding environment constantly
    - Fixing up the hair of my wife and other guests before taking the shot
    - Ensuring our guests looked their best in photos; i.e. removing shades, men's hands in pockets, guest positioning and hair & accessory adjustments
    - Recalling our personal interests when conversing
    - Knowing our itinerary and always checking the time to keep things on schedule (we didn't even remember our wedding itinerary); we were even ahead of schedule so more candid photos were captured
    - Kept a genuinely sweet & positive attitude and always full of smiles all throughout the day

    We can't thank Caitlin enough to help capture all our special moments during our small and intimate wedding at Olowalu Plantation House. All the wonderful little things she did leading up to our wedding day truly add up to make her a fantastic and caring photographer.

    AMAZING Photographer

    I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful Caitlin is to work with. Not only are all her photographs stunning and timeless but she is so responsive and helpful during the entire wedding process. Caitlin helped me from the minute we booked her and she was so helpful the weeks before my wedding with making sure I had all my details and pictures I wanted. We just got our photos back and they are better then I could imagine. We get to relive our wedding every time we look at her pictures.

    Caitlin Cathey was everything I could have hoped for and more in a photographer: extremely knowledgeable, flexible, super friendly and clearly invested in her clients. Her photos are gorgeous and speak for themselves, but she goes above and beyond to make suggestions along the way which was very helpful for a bride planning a destination wedding. My wedding day was greatly enhanced by the fact that she was my photographer! Without hesitation I would recommend her to any bride getting married in Maui.

    I came across Caitlin as I was browsing for photographers on Instagram, and was instantly drawn to her photography and aesthetics over all the other accounts I came across. Not only did her work seem like it would suit our tastes the best, but her posts also gave me a great feel for what she would be like to work with.
    Caitlin was very prompt and responsive from the get-go when I sent my initial inquiry via email. In addition to confirming her availability, she sent along a detailed and easy-to-understand PDF of her services and pricing. She also was quick to get us in her books once we finalized our decision. Coming from Northern Nevada and not being able to meet any of our vendors prior to our wedding date, we were a tad nervous, but communicating with Caitlin off and on via email throughout the months leading up to our wedding put definitely us at ease; she was even happy to answer questions and provide feedback on other vendors – florists, catering, etc. – as we continued through our decision-making process.
    The day of our tiny, intimate wedding, Caitlin showed up right on time and captured some wonderful getting photos, then seamlessly coordinated our first look. The location we chose for our ceremony was in tight quarters and under some intense afternoon sun, but Caitlin was extremely flexible with it and ended up getting some flawless shots as we said our vows. Our family photos and bride/groom photos were a breeze – Caitlin’s sunny, friendly disposition and obvious experience with wedding parties made it all easy and fun!
    Since our wedding in late March, we haven’t stopped receiving compliments on how perfectly Caitlin captured our special day and how beautiful it looked. We would recommend Caitlin to anyone, as she is an absolute gem! I hope an opportunity arises in the future that allows us to return to Maui and utilize her photography skills again.

    Caitlin is amazing!! I saw her photos on her website and fell in love with her style right away! Her photos are so beautiful and I am absolutely in love with our wedding photographs. All of our friends and family have been so impressed with the beautiful, high-quality photos of our wedding. On top of that, she is so sweet and professional, such a pleasure to work with! My husband does not like having his picture taken, but she made us both feel so comfortable and she got so many amazing shots. You can tell she truly cares about making her clients happy. I highly recommend her services and am so happy to have her gorgeous photographs to remember our wedding day for years to come!

    I am a vendor who has worked with Caitlin numerous times for wedding ceremonies. Caitlin is very friendly and professional to work with, from months prior while planning the event, to the day of. She is thorough and extremely thoughtful for everyone involved. I absolutely love Caitlin's photography, she captures the essence of the special moments, as well as the magnificent beauty of Maui's scenery.

    This review is way overdue. Our wedding was in 2015 and every time I look at our wedding pictures – I feel indescribable feelings of happiness, love and every emotion in between! I remember researching a lot of wedding photographers in Maui and Caitlin was not originally my first choice only because she did not have enough reviews. After looking through her pictures and taking in consideration that her prices are way more reasonable than many other photographers in Maui, we decided to go with Caitlin. BEST DECISION EVER! She has a true natural talent for photography and was able to capture every special moment that we will forever hold in our hearts. Her personality and passion matched her talent. She is such a sweet and attentive person – she will go way above and beyond to make sure you get the shots that you will treasure forever! I can go on and on about how absolutely fantastic Caitlin is but photo is worth a thousand words… judge yourself! We can’t thank / recommend Caitlin enough!
