More About Me
Kind Words from Megan + Tyler
"Beaty Creative Photo was absolutely amazing!!!
We got married at Mount Magazine and wanted somebody that was familiar with the area and knew all the good spots. Caitlin was amazing in working with us and was so much more helpful than I could have imagined. She took us to an amazing cliff area to get the shots we wanted. She was very flexible with us and made the best with what we had! 10/10 would book again."
Kind Words from Vanessa + Spencer
"Booking Caitlin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
From start to finish, Caitlin made the entire process super easy. She's friendly, bubbly, and very professional. She is all about non-traditional weddings and that's what drew me to her work.
We got married at Anthony Chapel at Garvan Woodland Gardens and she captured our intimate ceremony perfectly. She has extensive experience with photographing weddings at this venue and it shows! We could not have asked for more beautiful photos of our wedding day!! My husband and I are camera shy but she made us feel at ease and told us exactly what we needed to do for every pose she had in mind for us.
Her attention to detail is unmatched! For our couple's portraits, she meticulously arranged my dress and veil for the perfect shot. Also, as a part of her wedding photography package, she provides polaroids. I found this to be so unique and special!!We are so impressed with Caitlin and her work. She is truly an artist! Book her for your wedding now - you won't regret it!"

How to Leave No Trace
"Caitlin exceeded our expectations!!! I found her through Tik Tok after looking at elopement locations/photographers near Texas for months. I knew she was the one I wanted to capture our day when I found her. Throughout the process she listened to what we wanted, made sure we were fully prepared, and she did the dang thing!!! She is so bad a**!! We wanted an adventure elopement and she was down for the adventure. She crawled through a cave with her equipment and didn't hesitate. She is so talented at what she does and I couldn't have asked anyone better to elope us and capture our day!"
- Jacob & Jamie
"Just wow! I cannot say enough about Caitlin! I had no idea what I was looking for when I started searching for an elopement photographer. She was a huge help by knowing the area and being able to provide a timeline for me. She was easy-going throughout and made it fun! If you are searching for a photographer that thinks outside of the box and is up for a challenge, Caitlin is definitely the right person for the job!"
- Sheri & Thomas
"My husband and I had no idea where to start with our elopement journey and Caitlin was such a huge help from beginning to end (literally)! She had all the recommendations; could tell you almost exactly what to expect, and does the most amazing work! Not only super communicative, but her editing style is exactly what we were looking for! Highly recommend!"
- Brooke & Riley
"10/10 elopement experience. Caitlin was able to plan our elopement with only two weeks notice and other projects she was working on. Everything went seamlessly and she has a great attention to detail. Our pics are amazing and they didn't break the bank. We would recommend her over and over!"
- Ashley & Dallon
"Caitlin did my bridal portraits and my wedding. We had planning meetings before each session and she even wrote my wedding day itinerary. The online portal that she uses to store documents, contracts, brainstorming, etc. was user friendly. As a type A bride, I really appreciated this. Caitlin is organized, professional, and so sweet! She was a grounding influence during both sessions, and my guests had nothing but good things to say about her! She also worked well with my videographers. Caitlin's dreamy, ethereal vibes were perfect for my vision. Ben and I enjoyed her company."
- Lindsey & Ben
How do you know my dream guide experience is right for you?
I photographed my first wedding in 2015. I fell in love with photographing love, and it changed the entire directory of my life. I made it my goal to photograph love full time, which is something I accomplished by 2020!
Your experience with me goes beyond receiving beautiful images. I’ve done extensive research over the last eleven years on the best locations across the globe, finding personable ways to spend your special day, educating myself on LNT principles and permits for outdoor venues, and learning how to best assist you throughout wedding planning. I strive to make this the easiest decision of your life by listening to your needs.
Your images will have my own unique 'dream' style that I have been refining since about 2019. I also bring along equipment to your wedding that further enhances those dreamy vibes so that you're getting the most ethereal gallery imaginable.
In a world of AI culling and third-party editors, I pride myself in still culling and editing every photo of your gallery myself to ensure they have my personal touch and so that nothing goes unnoticed or missed. I only want the best care for your gallery.
I have 11 years of experience photographing weddings.
I custom-tailor your images with my own crafted editing style.
No third-parties are involved in post-processing your gallery.
I’ve curated the ultimate experience for you over the last decade.
