Caitlin Cathey Photography

Caitlin is professional, genuine, and takes note and care of every detail. On the event day, she brings fun and encouragement as you navigate all the desired shots. Her proactive and timely communication with logistics pre and post services is exceptional. Our wedding day was captured for those who couldn’t attend in person, as if they were there to see the ceremony unfold.

Caitlin is amazing!!! Her only downfall is that she’s in Maui and not in New York! I’m considering getting married in Maui or flying her here so she can take my wedding pictures. She’s absolutely amazing. Everything people have said is true. I can’t say enough good things about her. Beyond being an awesome person who is friendly, quick to respond and very informative, she is a phenomenal photographer. The pictures Caitlin took brought tears to my eyes. She’s incredible. You have found the best photographer on Maui, hands down!!!

Caitlin was so great! I will just admit it, we didn’t know what we were doing. She swooped in and solved our problems with ease. She was charming and a delight to deal with. The photographs she took are top notch and I have received nothing but compliments on them from everyone who has seen them. I highly recommend Caitlin as a great communicator, business woman, director, photographer and all around awesome gal! She knows what she is doing! Thank god someone did:)

Caitlin is a dream come true! She was so amazing to work with from day 1. She’s extremely quick to return all emails and so thorough and sweet in her responses. Her prices are totally reasonable, especially for the caliber of services she provides. The day of our wedding she was on a tight timeline and she busted it out! She posted sneak peeks to social media immediately, tagging us as well as our vendors. The pictures are stunning. I knew from her website that I liked her vibe (her site provided many galleries to browse through) but I was blown away to see her capture our taste and style to a T! The format of her website that provides the final high res photos is so user friendly. She separated the overwhelming amount of photos into categories making them much easier to access and view. I can’t say enough great things about Caitlin, a truly sweet and talented gal! My (now) husband gave me an A+ for finding her when he saw the stunning coloring and how beautifully she captured our day. Highly recommend!

Caitlin is a fabulous photographer. She was fast responding to emails and text messages, has an easy to use and nice looking website, is quick to post «sneak peeks» on Facebook to share with friends and family, had a quick turn around time on the full set of photos (on a mailed USB drive), and was so reasonably priced I almost thought we were getting tricked into using a terrible photographer (we weren’t!).
We used her for our elopement on the beach at sunset and it was the most natural and easy process for two people who hate having their pictures taken. She made everything so laid back and was so warm and friendly, it almost felt like we were just hanging out on the beach with a friend. I can’t wait to go back to Maui, not just for the amazing beaches, but for more photos by Caitlin!

We had a double family photo shoot in January with two toddlers and Caitlin did an amazing job capturing great photos, and making it fun for everyone. The original plan was for a sunset shoot, but a sudden storm made it unlikely to get a good session that day. Caitlin was super accommodating and we were able to re-​schedule for a morning shoot. She was helpful in preparing for the shoot and shared insight on coordinating outfits, locations, best times of day for the shoot, etc. We’re thrilled with how the pictures came out and would definitely recommend her for young families looking to capture lasting memories of their Maui vacation.

Wish I could give her 6 stars! Best photographer on the island! I just adore her and her work! I emailed several photographers about family portraits for when my family was vacationing in Hawaii and Caitlin was the sweetest and most helpful of them all! She was very knowledgeable about where to take pictures and had examples of them. She was fun to work with on the day of, very low pressure, easy, and giggly! I am so pleased with the pictures she took! I love that I get them all and we can print them as we wish. My family will cherish them forever. Thank you Caitlin!!!

Love, love, love Caitlin and her pictures! My husband and I were in Maui for our honeymoon and decided to get some professional pictures taken. I contacted several photographers, as we live on the East Coast, and did not know that much about Maui. Not only was Caitlin the most affordable (a lot of photographers that I found do not let you keep all of your pictures), but we also loved her pictures on her website. She was also great about staying in contact and answering questions!
The day of the shoot, we both liked Caitlin instantly! She made us feel very comfortable and was easy to work with. She took the time to get to know us and even offered us advice on what to do while we were in Maui. We had our «sneak peek» pictures the very next day and the rest of our pictures soon after that. All of the pictures are beautiful — she is very talented! It is obvious Caitlin loves her job and takes it very seriously! We will certainly use her again (if we are lucky enough to go to Maui again!).

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!
caitlin literally blew us away — she was such an amazing photographer to work with, giving us direction to capture the most beautiful moments for our destination wedding at makena cove in maui.
she made us look and feel so beautiful and created photos that completely exceeded our expectations!
we would give her more than a 5 star rating if we could!
we highly recommend caitlin for any bride and groom to be looking for stunning and romantic images for their wedding.
THANK YOU CAITLIN!

I did not use Caitlin as my wedding photographer BUT did have tons of contact and help from her when looking to book a photographer for my December 2013 destination wedding on Maui.
Caitlin is FANTASTIC. Her exemplary reviews exhibit such. But above all, her helpful attitude towards a bride who is having a destination wedding and knows nothing ;-) … the area, what exactly she is looking for in a photographer, pricing and etc is bar none.
I ended up going a different route for our wedding on Maui but would ABSOLUTELY use Caitlin when I do return to the island for family photos and so on.
I’m actually hoping to return to the island so I CAN use her services.

We chose Caitlin to do our wedding day photos because:
#1 She is the most affordable on Maui (believe me I checked them all)
#2 She captured our personality and the elements of Maui at it’s best
#3 We were able to keep ALL of the photos taken at the shoot, she promptly sent us a disc in the mail. Most photographers make you
pay per photo including the shoot fee or even get prints through them only. I like being able to look at the photos
in the privacy of my own home and getting prints on my own where and when I want.
#4 She posted all of our pictures in an online gallery for all of our family memebers to see
and order prints if they wanted to. Made it easy sharing with family & friends since it was just us at the wedding.
Caitlin was so flexible in getting shots that I wanted or felt inspired in the moment, but she was also helpful with fluffing my dress and telling us how to stand/​pose.
I love her laid back personality, we never felt rushed for time and she made sure we got the shots I wanted. She was prompt in all the questions I had via email so we were prepared and ready to go the day of.
The only «negative» thing I have to say is I wish she lived here in OREGON because all of my friends and family want to use her as their photographer! Thanks Caitlin!

My family went on a big reunion trip to Maui. We wanted some good family photographs so we decided to do a professional photo session (which none of us had ever done). After calling several people, I decided to go with Caitlin. Caitlin was absolutely awesome! We had no idea what to expect, what to do, or where to go. Caitlin took care of everything and put us all at ease. Despite having to deal with a huge group that ranged from 6 years old to 60 years, she was very patient and, in the end, we had a lot of fun. The pictures turned out terrific and I can’t recommend her enough!

Caitlin Cathey ran a photo booth photography session for my wedding summer of 2013. She has a built backdrop and 3 different fabrics I could choose from for my backdrop. We brought props but she brought some also.
Our guests had a great time with it, Caitlin is fun and got them to do funny pictures — guys in bikini tops, couples kissing… She had all the photos posted on her website less than a week after the event. Our friends could buy the photos online, she also mailed us a dvd of all the pictures and we paid her for a keepsake photo book of the best photos which she arranged wonderfully and it looks great.
Really easy to work with. The photo quality is waaaay better than the normal old school photobooth that prints out the strips of 4 photos.

I can’t say enough about Caitlin. She is a pleasure to work with and I would recommend her to anyone looking to hire a photographer. She has an eye for taking photos and bringing out the best in her subjects. I corresponded with Caitlin via email email, phone and text and she was a delight to work with. It is evident that she has a true talent and has a passion for photography.
During our photo shoot Caitlin put everyone at ease and was a joy to work with. She had fantastic ideas for photos and was able to wrangle a group of 6 adults and 3 kids (one who wasn’t feeling 100%). The sneak peeks were wonderful. It was a treat to see a sampling of the photos and we look forward to seeing the rest. I loved the «poses» and locations she used for our photos. These will become timeless images that our family will treasure forever!
If you are looking for a photographer, look no further and go with Caitlin. It will be a great experience and you will have great photos of the special time in your life.
Thank you Caitlin!

Caitlin has photographed for me on numerous occasions and I wholeheartedly recommend hiring her for your next event. Her incredible talent is a true gift, and I have no doubt that you will be nothing short of amazed at her work. Not only is Caitlin’s photography beautiful, but she is one of the sweetest and most pleasant people I have ever come across and been lucky enough to work with. She’s the kind of person who makes you smile even when the camera is not in front of you. Should you ever be lucky enough to get the chance to work with her, I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Simply put, she’s the best of the best.

Stop your search now for a Maui based photographer, Caitlin is as good as they come! I was heading to Maui in Nov 2013 and was planning on proposing to my girlfriend while we were there. So I did some online photog research and came across Caitlin on Unilocal.She is very prompt in her response times and has a very positive attitude! So I booked her for our engagement shoot, which was a few days after I proposed. Well after I proposed, a few days later while in Maui, we decided to elope and get married! I called Caitlin and told her we wanted to get married so instead of an engagement shoot, we had a wedding shoot! Caitlin put us in touch with a wedding planner and the rest is history! A few days later she sent us some «sneak peeks» from our wedding and they really speak for themselves, we loved them!
Thanks again Caitlin!

We loved working with Caitlin. She is so down to earth and so easy to work with. I found Caitlin by googling for family photographers in Maui since we wanted some family pics taken while we were there on vacation. I looked at a few sites and like Caitlin’s style and look of the photos. Her price is sooooo reasonable for what you get, you will not regret it. There are so many things I loved about working with Caitlin.
Before our arrival to Maui:
Caitlin was very quick to respond to every email I sent to her and she was so detailed in answering every question I had. She even emailed me some photos of different locations she was at (besides the ones she already has on her facebook and website) to give me an idea of different locations I could take pictures since I have not been to Maui before. I took this as a very good sign.
At photo session:
It was so windy the day of our session. Our hairs were flying everywhere in our face constantly, I had to constantly stop and fix my hair and my daughters. We made the best of the session, Caitlin didn’t mind us stopping so much. Also, my daughter stepped on some sharp branch on the ground and hurt her foot so she was very sad then she was fine but then she also got sand in her eye. Caitlin patiently waited for all these stopping moments and she was so good to the girls, she would talk to them and ask them questions to make them feel important too. My girls warmed up to her the moment they met her, she is like the really nice girl next door that you want to be friends with. Our session was a lot of fun and very relaxing, we enjoyed it so much with her, we didn’t realize the 1 hour went by so quickly.
After the photo session:
Caitlin emailed me within hours of the session to let me know what a great session it was and that she would have the sneak peek up the next day. I couldn’t believe it, she did get them up and it was really good.
She graciously accepts all of the compliments I give her in length. When Caitlin emails you, she makes you feel like you are the only client she has or something because her emails are so detailed and not just a simple one liner response. Considering the number of sessions I see on Caitlin’s Facebook, I’m so impressed if this is the type of service she provides to all her clients. She makes you feel special.
Caitlin has all your photos ready for view in 15 business days and she sends your DVD to you right after that. It’s so nice to get the pictures back so quickly. The pictures were all so amazing. We have so many we love, we can’t decide which ones to hang at home. Every shot was a great shot of us. I love the composition and the color of the pictures. I love how she made some black and white and it was perfect for those shots.
I highly recommend Caitlin and certainly will use her again when we go back to Maui or when she visits SoCal :)

I honestly cannot say enough about how amazing our experience with Caitlin Cathey Photography was. We had originally intended on using Caitlin to do our entire wedding photography, but we decided at the last minute to elope instead! Did she get upset about «losing» a job? No. Instead, she offered to shoot our session as a dual engagement/​wedding announcement session. My husband and I are kind of awkward when it comes to taking pictures together. For some reason, our faces never seem to do the «right» thing at the right time.
You would have NEVER guessed we are anything less than professional models by looking at the photos Catilin took. I loved that she picked her favorites to «tweak» and still provided us with access to all of the other photos. Her website’s accessibility and user friendliness is also a HUGE plus! I am SO happy we used Caitlin to shoot our photos. She is honestly the easiest person to work with, and probably one of the nicest people, to boot!
One other great thing about Caitlin is that she is willing to travel. Her prices to travel from HI to California to shoot are completely reasonable, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer, even outside of HI.
Caitlin, thank you so much for making our announcement so special and fun! We will cherish these pictures forever!

Caitlin made my surprise engagement perfect! From the start, she helped me with my crazy idea for a sunrise proposal at Haleakala. She even recruited her boyfriend to come with her (arriving at 6 a.m.), to be even more incognito (he ended up taking an amazing video of the entire thing on his iphone)!
We’ve gotten a few sneak peak photos so far, which are amazing, and exactly what I wanted. We cannot wait to see the rest.
Caitlin and her boyfriend were so friendly and helpful, it added to what was already the best day of my life.
From our first conversation, I knew that Caitlin was the photographer for me. She was nothing but professional, and accommodating. I recommend Caitlin for any of your professional photography needs… if we end up getting married in Maui I would want Caitlin doing our wedding photos.

One of the most memorable days of our honeymoon in Maui was the session with Caitlin. She made every click so romantic and fun. From giving us instructions on the size of smiles:)-big small, very big, serious, etc etc, to making us so comfortable kissing in her presence:). And the results we got is out of the world. Every shot she gave us is beautiful. We have them put up everywhere in our house and we remember her everyday we see those pics:)
We highly recommend everyone visiting Maui to get a photography session done with her!
Cheers!
