About Catrina Carlson Photography

Catrina Carlson

Owner/Lead Photographer

I love a good love story. I'm completely serious when I say that I go through a romance novel once every 3 days. It's gotten to the point where my husband has given me a budget on the amount of books I can buy because I go through them so quickly! I especially love the stories of the man who is completely head over heals for his lady. A relationship built on a deep connection. An understanding of each others quirks. A marriage of best friends. That's my type of love story we tell through our images! My husband, Dan is not quite as sappy as me. But together we have that strong, understanding and deep connection.

    Amazing

    They were amazing. Catrina had great communication even when we changed our timeline the day before. Her photos are beautiful and she gets them back to you in a very timely fashion. We highly recommend Catrina and her husband.

At this time we do not provide videography. However, please contact us for some recommendations of videographers in the area!
Sure! Please contact us for separate prices regarding destination weddings!
We have had the pleasure of photographing at a variety of places around the Lehigh Valley area. Let us know what your venue is and I’ll let you know if we have shot there before. If not, do not worry! We are very adaptable to the environment around us and are equipped to handle all sorts of situations!
I tend to lean more towards Lifestyle photography with light airy edits. I will always shoot some traditional types of shots and I also love to provide some fun and different photos for each wedding to fit the personality of the clients I am working with.
This will vary for each wedding. I normally suggest at least an hour or two of getting ready photos, if not more. It depends on how much you want to document. Please factor in travel time and keep in mind that if a receiving line is chosen, that this would need some time planned as well as it normally takes around ½ an hour for all the guests to say their congratulations.
Photography coverage is a consecutive amount of hours starting at the before ceremony photos to the reception photos. Although, you may have downtime between things during the day, the vendors are often busy capturing details, heading over to the reception early to capture things, backing up photos that are already taken etc.
Additional coverage doesn’t just mean an additional hour or two of coverage at the event, it also means additional photos to look through and edit after the wedding.
I aim to complete all photos and have the photos to you within 3-5 weeks of the event.
2-3 weeks is the amount of time I ask the clients to allow for any portrait session. However, most times I am able to get it to the client sooner, I like to allow for the extra time due to fluctuations in work load (some seasons are a lot busier than others).
Your engagement session can be done whenever you choose!!! Some like to do the session early so they can use the photos for save the date cards. While others aren’t in a rush. Although, I do suggest doing the session prior to the event to help get both of you comfortable in front of the camera, with each other and to also allow you to meet your second shooter for your wedding day if possible.
Based on how many events or things you have going on during your wedding, can drastically increase or decrease the amount of photos you receive. If you choose to not have any “getting ready” photos, this can decrease the amount of photos you receive by around 200. However, I will say that it normally averages to at least 50-75 photos per hour of shooting time.
Our main cameras have an option two use 2 camera cards at one time to ensure the images won't be lost if one of the cards is corrupt. We back up our images as soon as we get home and keep the images on our cards until all editing is completed, your online gallery is updated with all the edited images and you receive all the images. Original footage is kept for 6 months post delivery.
We could either have a Skype date or we can call and discuss everything and then afterwards I would send the electronic quote/contract to you to review, sign and submit. I do like to meet all of my couples prior to the big day, but I know that we all live very busy lives or are just not from the area so meeting up is not always an option.
I do try to find a place that is semi half way between myself and my clients. However, it is preferred to meet around the Lehigh Valley area.
First, contact me to see if I have your date available. Once we discuss everything, a signed contract and deposit hold your date!!!
Engagement sessions tend to run over the time I say (an hour) and is mostly because I talk… a lot! I do plan for a little leeway here as I’m more focused on getting to know the couple. However, for weddings, if you know you are going to exceed your time, then let me know ahead of time and it’ll end up being cheaper. If you ask us to stay the night of the wedding then the rate per hour doubles.
If you do cancel the wedding, the deposit remains with me. This is simply because, since the date was booked, I may have lost business due to the date being booked. However, any money beyond the 1/3 deposit will be yours.
If I have that date available, then absolutely!!!
I require 1/3 of the contracted amount for a deposit on weddings.
When you book with Catrina Carlson Photography, I will be shooting your wedding alongside with my second shooter aka my husband! If for some reason I am unable to shoot your wedding personally, My second shooter will take the lead for me. However, unless I am extremely ill, I wouldn’t miss your wedding!
If for some reason I am unable to photograph your event, then my second photographer will take the lead and I will aim to find a second shooter to fill in. If for some reason both me and my second photographer are both extremely ill, I will work with other photographers I know to find a suitable replacement. If a photographer cannot be agreed on, then all monies will be returned to you.
We just started offering photo booths this year that can be added on to any wedding package!!!
We are currently offering photo albums as an “a la carte” option that can be added onto any package!!!
