Caitlin Elizabeth LLC

Santa Fe, NM
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,200

I’m Caitlin Elizabeth (she/her), and as a current bride-to-be myself, I know planning a wedding is no small thing. After the months, or even years of work, you deserve to have stunning wedding photos to remember it all! I make every part of your Santa Fe wedding photography as easy as possible.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caitlin was 10/10. I took my girlfriend (now fiancé) on a last minute weekend trip to Santa Fe, where I planned to propose. I had no connections to the area or recommendations, but Caitlin stood out as being friendly and professional from her website/Instagram. From there, she worked with me to plan the proposal (including scouting a few places the days before and sending me photos and her thoughts on locations), gave me recommendations on where and how to do it to get the best pictures and generally helped make everything perfect. The photos were incredible. A great photographer and a proposal organizer/planner all in one (and all without having ever met). When the day came, it was a complete surprise to my fiancé and the pictures were amazing. Caitlin even brought us a blanket and a bottle of champagne to celebrate. Worth 10X the price.

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully.

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Felisha is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and insightful photographers who you could possibly hope to work with on your big day. In our first phone call with Felisha, it was clear that she was looking for a connection with her potential clients; she wasn’t trying to sell us her portfolio, and she wasn’t trying to gauge our budget. If you’re looking for a storyteller and someone who wants to build a meaningful connection with their clients, look no further! We wanted a partner in our photographer, someone who could look beyond the standard wedding portraits and find those special, candid moments that we would be missing among all the distractions of the day – and Felisha delivered. From start to finish, we felt like Felisha had our backs and was looking out for our best interests. She listened to us and gave us whatever it was needed on our big day at that moment – whether it was relief from the stresses of the wedding day timeline or a break from the business of our reception. When it came time to review the gallery, we were blown away by the details she captured. It was incredibly special not only to see the beauty captured in the moments, but the feeling we got in our hearts as we relived our wedding weekend. It’s a feeling we hope to hold on to for as long as we can, and Felisha truly helped to make our vision a reality!

Weddings are filled with moments of joy, laughter, and love, and I believe in honoring every genuine connection and fleeting glance that happens throughout the day. Every couple has a unique story, and my goal is to help you relive yours for years to come through images that evoke the same emotions you felt on your wedding day.

On the day of the wedding, their professionalism and expertise really shone through - they seamlessly captured all the special moments without ever feeling intrusive.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matthew took our wedding photos back in February 2024 and we could not have asked for a better photographer. Before the wedding we had several calls and he made sure he knew how the day was going to run and what type of photos we wanted him to prioritize. We really wanted a lot of candid moments of us and our family and Matthew delivered! He captured some amazing and beautiful moments from our ceremony and many fun moments from our reception as well a little details that we did not have time to appreciate because we were so busy being the “bride and groom” in the moment! We are finally taking some time to print our photos and looking back through our gallery makes us feel like we are reliving our beautiful day over and over again. Thank you Matthew for capturing so many beautiful moments that we will look back on and cherish for the rest of our lives. Highly recommend working with him for photos that will make your heart smile.

I love capturing people at their happiest times. I'm not about forced awkward posing, I want the real kind of love, the kind of love where you are so in the moment I'm capturing the in-between when you think no one is watching. I want the steamy, intimate, kiss you on the neck, pull her hair back, smack her butt, kind of love. Capturing real moments with real people, That's photography to me.

Lindsay is truly so talented and amazing at what she does. She is very professional and fun to work with. Something that I can say is she makes everyone comfortable with getting their picture taken and will make anything work. One of her best qualities is not having posed pictures and always capturing more candid pics. Not only does she have an amazing eye with the camera but she was extremely helpful with making sure your day of timeline was perfect. With all the weddings she does she has so many tips that made my day less stressful. The amount of calls/texts I get from our engagement session and wedding day is too many to count. We received our photos exactly 6 weeks after our wedding date. Friends and family have been raving about the photos and how talented Lindsay is. You won’t go wrong with hiring her. She is worth every penny and more.

We do Photo+Video Teams primarily - see more team samples on our "Videographers" page on Zola! I love "storytelling" in shooting and creative editing - creating not just a photo/video record, but adding sparkle, brightness and engaging polish to edits, design elements, fx and dialog/music mixing to build a more grand and exciting "mood" and story. It's great being part of "The Best Day Ever!" for most couples, along with learning and exploring new events, supporting my client's excitement and creativity and energy ;)

Jeff and Jon did an incredible job with our wedding video! We had a destination wedding in Santa Fe and they did such a great job at capturing the day on video in a way that makes us feel like we're there again. Jon was there with us for the event and was pleasant to be around and very professional. He worked with our photographer on documenting our day. They had a very quick turnaround time of 2 weeks for editing and completing our videos. The music was based on our personalized selection. We had a very small ceremony so wanted to be able to share with those who couldn't make it and they did the best job we could imagine. The showcased the venues and details of the day as well as the bride and groom. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a wedding videographer!!!
