Reviews for Caitlin's Creations




Caitlin and her staff were, in a word, amazing! From our first meeting, I had complete confidence that she would take care of us. She is very upbeat, super organized and follows through on her promises. She laid everything out for us up front: our payments, important dates, meetings and expected delivery of the photos after the wedding. She also has an excellent contract that made us feel comfortable that we would have a photographer on the wedding day, no matter what! She is flexible with her packages and always gave us terrific customer service, even though we were on a smaller budget. She was always very quick to respond to calls and emails, which was much appreciated! She even took time to meet with us a couple days before the wedding, since she hadn't had a chance to meet my fiance. She also gave us guidance on how to plan our timeline for the wedding, and actually helped keep us on schedule throughout the day.
As far as the actual photos themselves, they are STUNNING! Caitlin beautifully captured the small details, and more importantly, the spirit and emotion of our special day. She and her staff were very easy to work with, and they caught every important moment. They were also creative and open to our ideas, which made it so fun! I was a DIY bride and added some personal details to our wedding; Caitlin got fantastic shots of each and every one, so that I will be able to look back and remember all of my hard work! Our wedding was outside, and many photos were taken at sunset and then after dark with very little lighting. She made it all work, and the photos turned out wonderful! She and her staff even stayed a few minutes past their scheduled time to get our departure. And the best part is that we had our photos in hand less than one month after the wedding! Her photography was worth every penny, and we are thrilled with the service and photos we received!

Caitlin was the best decision my wife and I made in planning for our wedding. Her photography was affordable and worth well beyond the cost. Caitlin and her staff were fun and easy to work with. Her creative talents helped us in many more ways than just photography. She happily helped in our pursuits of our imagined perfect day and worked with us to design Save the Date Cards, Wedding Invites, a Guest Book and Wedding favors, all of which were special and a hit with our friends and family. Her brilliant and artistic eye helped to tie our wedding into a wonderfully elegant and modern event that our guest and I will never forget. We never had a problem getting a hold of Caitlin when we needed her. She was quick to answer our questions while also being flexible and willing to go with the flow of things if we changed our minds. Our guests simply raved about how beautiful and flawless my wife’s and my engagement photos were. She made us feel and look like movie stars. Caitlin’s ability to find the little details and include things that really represented us in our photos was just astounding. We are excitedly anticipating the arrival of our wedding photos themselves and know, without a doubt, that we will be just as amazed by them as we have been with every other aspect of Caitlin’s work. Her photography is simply stunning. We plan to have a trash the dress session with Caitlin in the near future and can’t wait to see what fun and crazy ideas she has in store for us! If you are even considering using Caitlin for any sort of photography don’t judge just by reading what I have written here make an appointment with her and see what she has to offer you. Trust me it will be the best decision you may ever make. It was for us and we will be happily reminded of that for many years to come.Robb & Amber Faw-RiveraSan Antonio, TX

Caitlin is amazing. If you want your pictures soon after your wedding, she's your girl. Lots of photographers will take six months to a year to have your stuff ready. Our disc is in the mail two weeks after our wedding and we'll start work with her on our album one month after. I never felt like she was in the way, yet the moments she captured were so intimate and perfect. Our pictures have come out infinitely better than I expected or imagined.
GUEST




Caitlin's Creations are WONDERFUL! I give her my highest recommendation and would refer her to any of my family and friends. Our wedding pictures were gorgeous and she is fantastic to work with. I believe in the quality of her work so much, that I had her come all the way from San Antonio to shoot my wedding in the DFW area. She and her staff are the BEST and I can not say enough about them!
GUEST




Caitlin did an amazing job for our engagement photos, bridals, and wedding. We couldn't have been happier with our photos that will last forever. :) She was always great at responding through emails really quick. She was very helpful with any questions I had and meeting with her was always so fun cause she is very upbeat and excited about what she does. She has creative ideas helps with photo selections when it comes time to making a book/album. I would recommend her 100%!

Thank you so much for the great review, Tracy! I love hearing that you were happy (even though I know you were, haha). I enjoyed working with you and Matt through everything, and I hope I have the opportunity to do it again!

Caitlin is a creative professional that has an eye for style and unique portraits.
Vendor response to review
I am so sorry you didn't feel that my flexibility was worth 5 stars! I work weekends and even evenings when needed, and I feel that I try very hard to be accomodating to my client's busy schedules, as well as wants and needs for the potraits and design processes. I don't remember ever having any issues with scheduling you for any of our meetings or design consults and I know you were very happy with the portraits and albums we did together.
GUEST




Caitlin made me look the best I have ever looked in all my pictures. She was funny, helpful, and just on the ball. Thanks Caitlin.Naomi
Vendor response to review
Naomi, you are so funny. Thank you for the great review, but you are a pretty girl and I didn't have to do crazy magic to make you shine in the camera. :) Your wedding was beautiful and unique and I had a blast photographing it.
GUEST




Caitlin was great to work with. She was very flexiable with our schedules and has a great eye for creativity. My father was diagnosed with brain cancer in Dec. 2009 and with her idea to include him in my bridal portraits, made great memories for myself and well as my family. I would recommend her to anyone!
Vendor response to review
Thank you, Vanessa. You and your family were so nice and easy to work with--especially your sweet dad and your cute "baby" mini poodle.
GUEST




Caitlin took my Engagement photos and created my Save the Dates, Invitations, and Guest Book and I could not have been happier with her services! She was unavailable for my wedding date :( but we are so happy that we used her services for everything we could!
GUEST




Caitlin was awesome to work with! She photographed our engagement session and wedding. Caitlin came up with some creative poses for our engagement session and even made us get into the pool with our clothes on! :-) We had a great time. She was very dependable and did an awesome job at our wedding. Everyone has commented on our photographer. She took creative shots and captured wonderful moments. Caitlin was one of the top vendors I had to deal with for my wedding that I was 100% happy with and that says a lot. Even after the wedding she stays on top of things. She has been great with the design work of our wedding album and gave us our wedding photos in a timely manner. For example, it has been two months after our wedding and we have yet to hear from our videographer. Nevertheless, I have never regretted using Caitlin and in fact hope to use her for future things that might pop up! Thank you Caitlin for making it such an enjoyable and memorable experience! Can't wait to get the wedding album!Take care,Nikki and Josh Valencia
Vendor response to review
Nikki and Josh, I absolutely LOVED working with you! Thank you for the great review and being such awesome clients to begin with. You guys are fun but relaxed, and the wedding was just gorgeous! I still enjoy showing off my copy of your album to everyone who comes into the office. :)
GUEST




Umm. Can you say amazing? We ABSOLUTELY could not have found a better photographer. Her pictures were amazing, she was so kind it made the experience enjoyable. If you are looking for affordable, reliable, great service that produces the most amazing pictures then Caitlin's Creations is the way to go.
Vendor response to review
Thank you, Kassi, for the sweet review! You two were so fun to work with--what a beautiful couple (inside and out)! I really enjoyed all of the sessions, design consults, and the wedding day. You had such a simple, classy wedding that really touched my heart.
GUEST




Caitlin is awesome!!! She will make you look amazing, and your pictures will be beautiful!!!

Thanks for the great review! You guys rock :)
GUEST




Caitlin was super nice from the first day we had our consultation with her. She was incredibly flexible with her packages, we only paid for what we wanted. The pictures were all so beautiful and the CD of all the ones taken was a great way to post online and send to family and friends. The photo albums she offered were amazingly well put together although we didn't decide to do them. If i ever had another event Caitlin would be my first call. She was very reliable and friendly, couldn't of asked for a better photographer. Thanks Caitlin!!!
Vendor response to review
You two were fun to work with--what a cute and sweet couple! I loved the fairytal wedding, and was sorry to see you two drive off in the limo at the end of the day, knowing you were moving out of state and I would not get the pleasure of photographing you again. I hope life in Alaska is great!




So far I have been really happy with Caitlin's work. She presented herself to be very well-organized and her work samples are great. In addition to her photography, she is also very talented at digital scrapbooks and graphic design. Her turn-around time for pictures is great (2days-1week). With every package you get a cd with all your images and the copyright to get them printed whenever you want. Her prices are very reasonable and she offers a great a la carte section too so you can put together your own package. She also makes her own custom save-the-dates and picture invitations. I really like her work and highly recommend her!




My fiancee and I found Caitlin through the San Antonio Bridal Guide and decided to schedule an interview with her. Her prices are very reasonable and she is very professional. She also offers a wide variety of creative albums, image designs, scrapbooks, etc. We decided to book her and will be using her for our engagements, bridals, as well as our wedding day photography. We are also looking forward to working with her because if she turns out to be as fantastic as we expect, she also has some great packages for pregnancy and newborn pictures, as well as a discount package that covers the whole first year of the babies life. We have been very impressed with her easy accessibility, communication, and flexibility with our ideas.
GUEST




Caitlin is awesome! She got the photography done beautifully! She kept us on schedule and calm all while capturing the most important day of our lives!
Vendor response to review
Thanks for the great review--I had a great time working with you both. I hope you have a chance to come back into town again soon, so we can catch up!
GUEST




Caitlin is the best photographer in San Antonio in my opinion! She is efficient, organized and artistic--a rare combination! Caitlin was very accomodating when I had to move my wedding date up and her fees are very reasonable. I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a photographer.
Vendor response to review
Michelle and Russ--I hope Austin is treating you well! I really enjoyed working with you both in the months before your wedding. Your personalities are so kind and carefree and loving, and it just shines through on the camera!
GUEST




We got invitations made from Caitlin's Creations as a wedding gift from a family member. All we told them was that we wanted the cards to have pink, yellow, and plumerias and provided them with photographs from our engagement shoot (with another photographer) and she created the most amazing invitations!! They were just stunning!! The were so pretty, unique, and completely personalized! I absolutely loved them!! I had more than one person tell me that they were the nicest wedding invitations they'd ever seen! I'd highly recommend Caitlin's Creations work to anybody!
Vendor response to review
I enjoyed creating custom invitations for these two, however I am curious on the less than 5 star review on professionalism and value. This couple lives in another state and were girfted the custom invites by the groom's brother, who is a client of mine. The brother was the one who purchased the invitations and dealt with me personally throughout the process (although I did make sure to get all info and approval from the bride and groom, if indirectly), not the couple. I know that they (and their guests) had rave reviews on the invitations themselves!

Let's just say anything that could go wrong did go wrong in this wedding. I found Caitlin came into the picture 20 days before the big day,when we learned the family friend who had volunteered his photography skills for free went awol. Caitlin gave me a very reasonable estimate and then allowed me to break the payments up a bit on the up-front and then the rest when I got the pictures. I brought my two small children to the consultation my 12 year old instantly loved her, she did small things to entertain my 11 month old so I knew the day of the kids being photograpphed would look great because she was unruffled by their antics. The weeks leading up to the wedding I gave her ideas of what I wanted in the pictures. The day before the wedding, I was forced to find another reception location-Caitlin rolled with the punches and adapted even though the new location was 20 minutes from the church where both parts of the event were supposed to occur she did not charge anymore than was quoted. I do not know why or how I ran behind schedule but I was very late I had intended on being at the church at 7:30 having my hair and make up already done but pose for "pre-ceremoney" pictures, it was raining of course and I'm sliding into the church parking lot at 8:45 for a ceremony that was to start at 9am! Caitlin helps us into the room we're supposed to dress in and as I'm apologizing for being late she chirps "every bride runs late-not to worry, the pastors not here can't have a wedding without her!" She had such a calming aura about her she put me right at ease. Caitlin in her an assuming way did double duty--helping me dress and photographing it also! She would instruct my mom or sister to do something and SNAP-what I knew in the moment would be an amazing picture! As I mentioned our wedding day was very rainy-this potentially could pose a major problem I have been at weddings that were to have outdoor pictures but couldn't because that photographer did not know how to use natural light and his lighting equipment would not work so new arrangements had to be made ETC-Caitlin is VERY well versed in natural lighting and used the inclimate weather aspect in such a way that I knew as she was clicking photos that I would have pictures uniquely me and significant moments of the day.We felt that we didn't just have a photographer we had a friend at our wedding, who understood us and who really got what made us different from other couples--that comes through in the pictures.Caitlin will be our photographer for life, our annual family photo, senior pictures, and any other situation that we may need photos I will call upon her as my go to person. Caitlin has such a great demeanor and rapport I wish she taught a class because I think even I could learn from her. In fact as she was photographing us she would give reasons for different poses and kinda gave "tech-tips" as well as when the kids would approach her and ask her she would give very straight to the point reasons for why she was doing things would let them see the picture she just took, pointed out why she did it that way. Caitlins seems to be a natural teacher. It was great I felt like I learned things from her and so did my son, Justus, he actually wondered if as part of her current business she taught classes. Caitlin has left all of us wanting more. I have refered several people and will continue to do so. I think Caitlin is awesome and her pictures are amazing!

Tami--thank you for the great review! We never got to get close before the wedding, since I only met you a month before the big day, but I enjoyed working you you and your sweet boys. Even after waking up at 7am for your morning affair (which is saying a lot, since I'm not a morning person, haha). It was a sweet, unique wedding :)
GUEST




Caitlin is fantastic! I thought I was hiring a photographer for my wedding but I ended up finding a photographer for all of my life's important milestones.
Vendor response to review
Roxy and James, you two were absolutely adorable and I loved working with your zaney personalities! Thank you so much for the nice review.
GUEST




Caitlin has a passion that drives her to excel above and beyond the typical responsibilities of a photographer. She did our engagement, bridal, and wedding photography; we would be hard pressed to find anyone else with her creativity, personality, and true talent. She is not afraid to get the best shot possible, regardless of what it takes! She is amazing!
Vendor response to review
Julie and Brian--thank you for the lovely review. I loved working with you both over the months preceeding your wedding, as well as your families. Thank you for trusting me to be your photographer even before I had a real website! I will always remember the great veil escape, the praying mantis, the brain cake, and all the other little funny stories from our sessions and the wedding day! And you will always be "Cave Bride" lol.




Caitlin has done my bridals and my engagement photos. She will be doing my wedding in July. Caitlin's photos are better and more inexpensive than her competition. Also, she believes that YOU should be allowed to do what you want with your pictures so she does not hold them hostage - she gives them all to you on a CD within DAYS of the shoot. I HIGHLY recommend Caitlin.
GUEST




I wish I could give Caitlin above a five for the awesome photography she provided! We had Caitlin shoot our engagements, bridals and wedding. Working on a very tight budget, Caitlin gave us awesome customer service with amazing attention to detail. Caitlin got every single one of my "must take" photos and many many more. When we arrived home from our honeymoon, we already had a CD with a copyright release and almost 800 pictures from our wedding day waiting in our mail box!!! I would recommend Caitlin to any bride on any budget. She was my absolute favorite vendor.
Vendor response to review

Caitlin and her assistant were very professional and helpful. We were on a very tight budget and she worked with us to get what we needed at the shortest amount of time. I would recommend Caitlins Creations.
GUEST




Caitlin was so easy to work with. She is very professional and patient. She has an artistic eye that comes through in her photography. Caitlin really brought out the best in us. The hardest part was picking our favorite photos! We loved working with her and will use her for any future family photos we want taken.
Caitlin is one of the best photographers in the business. She has such an eye for detail and....she's FUN!
I love working with Caitlin's Creations! We've been blessed with having several brides in common, and her work is always top-notch and gorgeous! I use so many of her photos to show off my work and always look forward to seeing what she captures. I would totally recommend her to anyone!
Caitlin's creative style is fresh, fun, and full of life. Her photography captures views of your wedding that you would never be able to see, including all the little details you poured your heart into planning. You can also trust her to preserve the sponaniety and emotion that you didn't plan and can't recreate... so your grandkids can enjoy your wedding day, too.
About Caitlin's Creations
I have been in the photography field for over four years, working under various photographers. I discovered my passion for photography and weddings, and have been enjoying my career ever since--especially since branching out into my own business just recently. I look at every photography session, and every event I capture, as a unique experience--one to learn from and have fun with. Your wedding will not be just another job for me, but a special day that I have the opportunity to be a part of. You are not just another client, but a bride getting ready for the most exciting day of her life!
It is so important to have a good relationship with your photographer--they will share some of the most emotional, stressful, and wonderful moments of your life. I enjoy building a relationship with you, so that you are relaxed and having fun on your wedding day, not worrying about a camera in your face!
Besides my passion for photography, I also specialize in (and really enjoy!) portrait design. What will you do with your portraits? I am a firm beleiver in your rights to own your images, and you will always receive an image CD with my services. But what comes next? Will you print a bunch of 4x6s just to put them into a box in your closet? This is where my special design abilities come into play. I will sit down with you for a design consultation after the wedding, and then create a beautiful custom album to tell the story of your day, with your personal style in mind. Many photographers send their designs out to an anonymous graphic designer, that you will never meet. I know YOU, and design with you in mind.
Please take some time to look at my website--I know you will be happy with what you see! My portraits and custom designs speak for themselves, and you will find out how easy it is to be able to afford beautiful, artistic, and personalized photography for your wedding.
Call me when you are ready for your consultation. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your special day, and to create that perfect package to fit all of your needs.
