As cheesy and cliché as it sounds: I love love.
A lot of the time, people talk about weddings with dread or sarcasm. They mention how overwhelming weddings are, how stressful weddings are, and how expensive weddings are.
It’s true, they can be all those things, but they are also magical, exciting and full of love. You didn’t just decide to throw this party to spend a bunch of money, but instead because you want to stand in front of your nearest and dearest and tell them how much you love the person you are marrying. You want to point at them and say, “That one? They’re off the market now, because they are mine!”
Maybe you won’t say it like that, but weddings are about sharing an amazing day with your tribe, and my task in all of this is to capture this incredible day for you to cherish forever.
I’ve been capturing special moments since 2012, and I still have the same enthusiasm as I did the very first wedding I photographed.
Whether your wedding is around the corner or on the beach, I’d love to capture your love story!
Let’s get to know each other and see if we are a good fit! We'll hop on a phone call or we can meet in person! We’ll discuss the date, details, and what you’re looking for.
After the contract is signed and paid, we’ll discuss and photograph your engagement session.
We will discuss your final timeline a few weeks before, and get everything together. When the special day arrives, everything is all set to enjoy the moment! We'll help out where ever needed.
After the big day, you will receive your photos in an online gallery where you can purchase prints, and on a rose gold and crystal USB drive in a linen box.
If you have a question that is not answered in the section below, please reach out by contacting us.

“10/10 recommend Sweet Scales. Caitlin has been taking pictures of my kids/family for over 3 years now and never once have we been disappointed! She’s extremely patient (because we all know getting kids, especially babies to cooperate isn’t always easy) and professional! I have loved every session & will continue to have Caitlin capture all our special memories!”
“We’ve had Sweet Scales Photography do our daughters pictures and our family pictures and she did AMAZING with both sessions. She’s fairly priced and she’s willing to try new styles and locations. We loved her so much we decided to have her do our engagement and wedding photos as well!”
“Sweet Scales Photography has taken pictures for my family for the last couple of years and been wonderful to work with! She even manages to get amazing shots with uncooperative little ones. We had her take pictures of 6 kiddos ages 6 and under and she got every child in the picture and looking at the camera with the majority of them smiling. I couldn't be more pleased with all of the sessions that she has done for us!”
“I have had Caitlin do all of our pictures for 5 years! She has done all 3 of my children's 1st birthday pictures and more! She is always patient with them and gets great shots even when they are not very cooperative!”
“It was an absolute joy working with Sweet Scales. Caitlin was very communicative and kept me up to date as she photographed my products. She had a quick turnaround time and my photos came out better than I ever could’ve hoped, she’s truly magic with a camera. I would highly recommend her to all my small business owner friends!”
