Growing up, I was obsessed with magical love stories. Fairy tale love stories always left me with a euphoric feeling. I now get to document these stories being a professional photographer, & I LOVE IT! This is not a job for me but a passion that I am grateful to pursue. There are many good photographers out there, but what makes me unique is my passion for what I do. I will do anything to capture the most intimate moments for you to enjoy for a lifetime. If I must get in a tree, lay in a mud puddle, or wade in water to get the perfect shot, I will do it!

“Words could never explain how appreciative and outstanding Caitlin is! We booked Caitlin for engagement pictures, bridals and of course the big day! Her and her husband made us feel so comfortable and really kept the shoots fun for us. She is wonderful with communication, talent, and always on time. She made the entire process from start to finish such a breeze! In our package we added on the Photo Booth and I must say it is soooo worth it our guest couldn’t get enough of it so I highly recommend adding it on. This was our party favor and you get unlimited photo strips. We also had the photo album added on and she went above and beyond our expectations and made our album better than we could’ve ever imagined or done ourselves. The point is if you’ve made it this far then YES you better jump on it and book Caitlin and her husband because they are the best team!”

I have three beautiful children, and they are what inspired me to start my own photography business. I graduated from UNCG with my Bachelor's Degree, and then my middle son was born and was diagnosed with a rare form of childhood cancer. I began documenting his journey through photography. and it soon became a creative outlet for me. I decided to become a business and share my passion with others. We are so blessed to be able to say he is now cancer-free, but that experience really showed me how important it is to capture and preserve images of your loved ones and cherish the connection you have with your family.

“Corey is phenomenal to work with!! We had our engagement shoot and wedding photos with her! She is fun and knows exactly what to do and how to organize it. I have had so many compliments on her photos!!”

They listened to our concerns and made sure to prioritize the things we valued- like taking photos outside, getting LOTS of group pictures, and enjoying candid snapshots. The day was unexpectedly rainy, but our two photographers were ready, enthusiastic, and full of creative ideas.

“We hired Promani for our April 2025 wedding for both photo and video and I was so, so happy with how everything came out. Both Taylor (photo) and James (video) were so great to work with. And it was so fun being able to see the photo and action shots that they directed for us, come to life in the final product. I was originally a bit apprehensive, given I wasn’t going to be able to see the direct work from my day-of photographer and videographer, but Benjamin the owner assured me that style and quality were trained to Promani’s standards. I really wish I could have told the anxious bride (me) that everything would be okay and turn out beautifully. Post-wedding, Benjamin was super responsive in working with me to make some final tweaks to the video and albums. I’m in the Boston-area and Promani has recently started expanding their work here. I would highly recommend - beautiful work, and super fair pricing for their photo/video bundle, especially for the quality of their work.”

“We had the most amazing time working with Ali! We had kind of a long engagement and we initially started working with Ali over a year and a half before our wedding to get our engagement photos done. Not only were the photos beautiful, but Ali made us feel super comfortable and at ease throughout our session. Leading up to our wedding day, Ali was amazing at coordinating the day of timeline with our coordinator and making sure that all the elements that were important to us were included so that we had enough time to capture the moments. One of my favorite things about working with Ali is her calm presence. Every time I was stressed about something in the planning process about the timeline I would talk to Ali and she would immediately make me feel at ease. She was constantly reminding me that the most important thing on my wedding day was to be present with our friends and family (and as a type A bride this was a much-needed reminder!) Ali also came to take photos at our rehearsal dinner and welcome party which was great because she got to know our families and our family dynamics before our big day which was a huge help! On the wedding day Ali and the second shooter Scottie were rockstars! They went above and beyond at every opportunity from helping the boys tie a bow tie, climbing out on my fire escape to get a crazy photo that I had in mind, moving locations at last minute, dealing with rain, helping bustle my dress, and of course capturing all the beauty of our perfect day. I will not hesitate to work with Ali and her team again! She’s amazing, a true professional, and I hope we have the chance to have her capture our big milestones in the years to come.”

Your wedding day moves fast — the nervous excitement before the ceremony, the hug from someone you haven't seen in years, the look between you two when no one else is watching. I'm here to catch all of it, so years from now you can look back and feel it again, not just see it. I blend documentary storytelling with an editorial eye — refined, intentional images that still feel real. Nothing overly posed, nothing you'll look back on and wince at. My background in art direction and a lifetime spent moving between countries shaped how I see a scene: I notice light, composition, and the small human moments most people miss.

“From the first phone call, I knew we'd made the right choice. Raiana captured moments we didn't even know were happening, my father's face during the vows, my niece sneaking a bite of cake. Every photo feels like a little piece of our hearts. Worth every penny, and then some.”
