    Recommend so so so much !!

    Catarina was absolutely amazing! I found her through a Google search and fell in love with her pictures. Everyone who sees the pictures says “wow your photographer did an amazing job” and I couldn’t agree more. Not only were they the most beautiful pictures but Catarina was so amazing to work with! We had numerous video chats to make sure we were on the same page. She also created a schedule which made taking pictures on our wedding day run fast and smooth! I cannot recommend her enough! The pictures are everything I could ask for and more!

    Engagement Shoot

    We used Catarina Olivia for our engagement shoot and we can not say enough good things about the entire experience! Neither of use had been in front of a camera before and were understandably nervous. Catarina instantly made us feel comfortable with her warm personality. She showed us so many different poses and by the end of the session we felt like professionals, but more importantly we still felt like ourselves. She was more than timely in getting our photos back, which was incredible. We were so impressed with her style and loved every single photo. She really understood our vision and captured our love and excitement. I would highly recommend her for your wedding. She is kind, reliable, and talented.

    Catarina Olivia Review!

    Catarina shot our proposal, engagement shoot, and wedding. She was SO AMAZING! Her style is timeless, classy, and airy, and the pictures came out exactly what I was looking for. She made us feel so comfortable, even my husband who is very shy. We got so many pictures I can't even imagine picking favorites. I would highly recommend!

    Best photographer in tristate!

    Catarina is the BEST photographer you could have to capture special milestones in your life! We hired Catarina to be our wedding photographer and she hit all the elements we were looking for. Most importantly, her personality is so fun that you feel comfortable and excited to take photos all day. The engagement session is a big bonus and practice round for your big day! The day of your wedding can be exhausting and hectic, but Catarina and her team takes care of all the details you might overlook (ie. little trinkets to hold your wedding bands for detail photos). Highly highly recommend!!!

    Engagement Mini Session

    My fiance and I booked a Christmas tree farm mini session with Catarina for some engagement photos. She was so nice to work with and made us feel comfortable during the shoot even though it was our first time doing something like this. The photos turned out great and we received them quickly. Highly recommend!!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Catarina! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. She was super organized throughout the whole planning process and the wedding day which helped eliminate any stress or worry I may have had along the way. She captured our day beautifully with pictures we can cherish for years to come. I would highly recommend!

    Professional and Amazing!

    I can express enough how amazing Catarina is! She is thorough, structured, nice, caring, understanding, and has a great eye! I would recommend her over and over again as a wedding photographer. I can't wait to use her again in the future for family portraits!

    Best Photographer in NJ

    We first discovered Catarina the summer of 2020, and she truly did not disappoint! My wife and I worked with Catarina for our engagement photos, and we loved her work so much we asked her to work with us again for our wedding the past September. Catarina makes your feel super comfortable, even if taking photos is out of your comfort zone! She's all about having fun and truly does an incredible job capturing whatever special moment you're in! Could not recommend Catarina and her work more!

    6/30 Wedding

    We hired Catarina to capture our wedding and we couldn’t have found a more perfect fit for us! We were very adamant about having a photographer with a light, airy, and romantic style that captured the real moments and joy of the wedding rather than a heavy focus on serious posed photos. Catarina 100% delivered!

    From the very beginning Catarina was very responsive and genuine. She truly cares about each and every one of her couples. We loved working with her for our engagement shoot. Our photos came out beautiful and made us even more excited for the big day. Through the planning process Catarina was wonderful about checking in and meeting with us to go over our shot list and timeline and making sure every detail we wanted was going to be included.

    Then on the big day Catarina and her team came with the absolute best and most positive attitude. Everything went so perfectly smooth and our day was beautifully calm. The next day our guests kept saying how wonderful the photographers were and did a great job of getting all the shots without being in the way. We got our sneak peeks the next day and needless to stay we were hooked! Catarina captured the joy and true happiness of the day perfectly. She did a wonderful job of capturing us as a couple. I can’t thank Catarina enough for her wonderful work. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone and everyone.

    Gracious, kind, and exceeded expectations

    Could not have asked for a better photographer! Catarina and I met up in person a couple months after I booked her to go over what I was looking for. We then had our engagement session with her which made me even more excited for the wedding photos! The engagement photos were perfect (even though we were having a cold spell and was windy).
    Come the wedding day Catarina was on time and started working right away. She had given me a list ahead of time of what to keep out for prep photos and she took care of the rest. I cannot get over how wonderful and gorgeous my photos are. We are a very relaxed and goofy couple and she captured that perfectly while also providing some more structured and formal photos. Her second shooter Richel was also incredible and brought some fun into the mix with her upbeat personality.
    I would hire Catarina again in a heartbeat for my wedding. I've already begun hanging up photos around my home and making gifts for our closest loved ones.

    Amazing wedding photographer

    We absolutely loved working with Catarina. Our photography package included an engagement session, which was the perfect way to help us get comfortable in front of the camera before the wedding day (and get some amazing shots!). Catarina was warm and relaxed which helped us tremendously. The photos we received were stunning and she did a fantastic job with lighting and editing, especially since we are an interracial couple and that can sometimes be a challenge. Catarina’s prices were also very reasonable and she helped with a lot of planning before the wedding to ensure we would get the shots we wanted and had a solid timeline to work from. I would highly recommend Catarina for any wedding!

    Choose Catarina Olivia for your day

    Catarina is wonderful to work with! From our first phone call all the way through our wedding, she shared in our excitement.

    Logistically, she made the process very easy and seamless for our wedding day. Over a month prior to our wedding, she was in contact with me to help determine a timeline for our photographs. She was flexible and accommodating to our week of changes. We provided a list of family portraits and she captured all of them.

    I highly recommend her for your special day.

    Incredible Photographer!

    I came across Catarina’s photography portfolio on Instagram and website, which speaks for itself. She shows meticulous attention to detail and has the photography style I gravitate towards. What started out as a quick email of inquiry turned into a special bond.

    My husband and I are both deaf and rely heavily on lipreading, which can make certain situations difficult especially during the pandemic. Catarina made it easy and effortless for us to understand her, which made the whole process much less stressful. She always remembered to move her face away from behind the camera so we could understand what was being said.

    With my husband being an introvert and shy in front of a camera, he was expecting to “pose, grin, and bear it.” The actual experience was the opposite and intimate. Catarina navigated our photo sessions and made us look candid and effortless in the pictures. She suggested poses and actions in a way that made me feel natural and beautiful. Our senior dog warmed up to her pretty quickly too, which says a lot!

    Catarina was always attentive and communicative. With her helpful guidance, we received her wedding day timeline which we shared with other vendors. They all expressed how helpful her timeline was. Catarina would outline the exact steps that would happen next, so we were never left wondering what was going on. It made us feel reassured knowing we were guided by a true professional. Every communication reminded me that Catarina cared, listened, and was flexible. She was always responsive to my endless questions and concerns.

    She designed a beautiful ornament to memorialize our first Christmas together as a married couple. When our dog passed away, she sent us a thoughtful and touching gift that memorialized our furry companion. It’s those little things that shows she truly cares. She was also the first person to text me on the morning of our wedding day wishing me well and how much she looked forward to seeing us.

    Catarina and I have grown close over the course of the year from the beginning of our engagement up to our wedding day and beyond. We look forward to continuing our relationship together as we reach more milestones.

    I don’t know where else you would be able to find a rare gem like Catarina.

    Boudoir Shoot

    Catarina photographed my boudoir shoot for my wedding gift to my husband. A friend and I did our shoots together and we met Catarina at a studio in Asbury Park. We felt completely comfortable with Catarina during what could be a pretty vulnerable situation. We each had a few outfit changes and took photos in a number of different spots and poses. Catarina was able to get my pictures and book to me very quickly as my wedding was soon after. She was able to tweak filters to fit my perfect vibe. Everything came out great! And my husband was SHOCKED and of course loved it!
