I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Sean gave us an incredible experience with stunning results. He was punctual, professional, and gave very clear instructions for his shoots. He also was very excited to be a part of the process and involved in our special day. When it came time for the ceremony and reception, he was sure to stay out of the spotlight and took incredible pictures without us having to remember that he was there. 10/10 experience and 10/10 quality on the final photo results. We would highly recommend him for any event you may have coming up!

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

Shannon was absolutely perfect! She made our wedding day truly special. She was attentive, professional, clear and concise, and so well prepared for the day. She eased my stress and took a load off my shoulders when I was worrying about all of the small details. Not to mention she saved me with eye drops when I got an eyelash in my eye and looked like I had pink eye 30 minutes before having to walk down the aisle. Not to mention, she had a gallery of nearly 100 photos for us as sneak peeks sent in two weeks, when she had two other weddings on her books within a week of mine. It was truly a wonderful experience to work with her!!

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Mae was an absolute pleasure to work with. I knew I liked her from the very first call. She was thorough and asked good questions to make sure she could capture what we wanted. I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!

Danielle was absolutely amazing for my wedding! I had worked with her once before at my friend’s wedding, and I knew immediately that I wanted her to photograph mine as well. She is incredibly friendly, her work is stunning, and her prices are very reasonable. Her positive attitude is contagious. As someone who is extremely photo-shy and self-conscious, she made me feel beautiful and actually enjoy taking photos. Her assistant was also fantastic!

Marissa was amazing every step of the way. She helped to narrow down an elopement location base off of our wants. She also came up with a detailed schedule for the whole time spent with her, and options to choose from base off the location we picked! Due to weather, I had a freak out a couple days before the elopement. When I emailed her about my concerns, she responded within 15 minutes reassuring me she was making a back up plan and emailed a new detailed schedule with options within a few hours! And the pictures?! Phenomenal! Everything I could have hoped for!

We can’t say enough good things about them! From the start, they felt like part of the crew, super chill, easy to work with, and just fun to be around. On the big day, they somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling like they were in the way. They caught all the laughs, happy tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. And when we saw the photos/video? Absolutely blown away. It’s like they bottled up the whole feeling of the day, and now we get to relive it forever.

My approach: Humans first, photographs second. In a very fast-paced, social media driven society, I strive to create art that fosters connection and community. Instead of focusing my photography career on “How can I take a pretty photo?” it became “How can I get to know this person and showcase who they are through this photograph?”. The best way to do that is by digging deep and getting to know the real you. Becoming your friend, confidant, and go-to person throughout this journey. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Wedding photography is so much more than snapping a few frames. It's about being a part of the experience, making connections, and meeting new people. Whether it's laughter, joy, or romance, there is nothing better than being able to show what a couple's love is all about through images. I care about the moments first and foremost. Let's create some magic, make memories, and have an experience that you won't soon forget!

John is such a pleasure on a wedding day. Very clear, direct and creative instruction to the couple along with an easy going attitude toward other vendors. I love his vibrant colors and rich tones. John is a master of not only natural light but off camera flashes which is a rare skill these days. Notice how great his reception photos look! Some photographers prefer to not even post their reception photos because they pale in comparison to the images they are able to get in daylight. John on the other hand is able to capture stunning, creative and well lit shots from beginning to end.

Words cannot fully express the gratitude we feel for the incredible team behind R&R Productions! From the moment we met them during our engagement shoot, they instantly made us feel at ease, turning what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into something genuinely fun and unforgettable. Their warm personalities, unmatched professionalism, and creative vision were evident right from the start. When it came to our wedding day—the most important day of our lives—they didn’t just capture moments; they captured the very essence of love, joy, and celebration that surrounded us. They didn’t feel like vendors; they felt like family, celebrating alongside us while documenting each precious second. They even covered us in prayer, which meant so much to us. Raphael worked through an injury without us knowing, simply because he didn’t want us to adjust anything for him. That level of dedication and selflessness left us in awe. They don’t just take pictures and record videos; they weave a story from the beginning to the end, preserving the magic and emotions in a way that’s truly extraordinary. And I just don’t even know where to begin with Rasheeda. We met through a Facebook post I replied to—one I initially thought was a scam. Boy, was I wrong! She and I ended up talking that very same day for over an hour, and it felt like we’d known each other forever. From the start, it was never just a business transaction; it felt like family helping to prepare for the big moments in life. Her warmth and genuine care meant everything to us. I don’t know what I did to be so lucky to have crossed paths with this amazing team, but I am forever grateful that we did. I honestly feel like I should keep them on retainer for every milestone in life because I cannot imagine anyone else being able to document such meaningful moments with the care and dedication they do. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Jerome and I are so grateful for the both of you.

Welcome to Wild West Weddings, where your love story is beautifully captured in a boho, rustic, western, or woodsy style. We specialize in wedding photography, videography, DJ services, photo booths, and rentals, creating an unforgettable experience for your big day. Hi, I'm Caitlin, and I'm dedicated to making your wedding dreams come true long before you say "I do." When you choose me as your photographer, you're not just getting someone to snap photos; you're gaining a friend who understands your vision and shares your passion for life’s special moments.

We saw Wild West Weddings at a friend's wedding and knew we needed someone like that in our corner. She responded quickly to every question and handled all the details with REAL responsibility, making the whole process feel smooth. When our timeline fell apart on the wedding day, Caitlin stepped in and got us back on track while keeping me calm—she took charge in exactly the right way. What really stood out was how seriously she approaches her work without making it feel stressful; she brought this infectious energy that made us want to grab coffee with her after it was all over. Her photos capture everything beautifully, and it's clear this is what she was meant to do. We honestly can't imagine having made a better vendor choice. DOO IT!!! You won't regret this god send on your wedding day. It doesn't matter how you plan, it matters WHO your back up plan is, and Caitlin and her team will get it done, make sure you look good while doing it, and then also capture that moment for later.
