Catarina Olivia Photography is a New Jersey wedding and portrait photographer creating an organic, timeless, romantic photography experience for engaged couples through a fun atmosphere and natural photography.

Hi there

I'm Catarina

i'm a mom, wife, first generation american, and preserver of memories.

Welcome and congrats on your engagement! It's such an exciting time and I know you are in the beginning stages of planning your dream wedding. You may have your venue and perhaps even a planner and now you're seeking the ultimate wedding photographer to capture your special day so you can relive it over and over again.  After all, your wedding may seem like its miles and miles away, but, before you know it, it will be here one day and gone the next.

My style is light and airy and I strive to make sure you are taken care of every step of the way.

Your wedding is first and foremost a celebration and gathering of your closest friends and family and I know you want to spend time enjoying them and all the time and effort you put into planning your day! It's important to me that you are worry-free and are able to enjoy every moment of the biggest party of your lives.

COULD NOT RECOMMEND CATARINA AND HER WORK MORE!

 Catarina makes your feel super comfortable, even if taking photos is out of your comfort zone! She's all about having fun and truly does an incredible job capturing whatever special moment you're in!

 she captured the real moments and joy of the wedding rather than a heavy focus on serious posed photos. 

We hired Catarina to capture our wedding and we couldn’t have found a more perfect fit for us!  Catarina captured the joy and true happiness of the day perfectly. She did a wonderful job of capturing us as a couple. I can’t thank Catarina enough for her wonderful work. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone and everyone.

She was wonderful during the planing process, responsive, professional

Catarina is amazing!!! She did our engagement photoshoot in December and our wedding this past weekend and we are blown away by just the sneak peek shots (over 100!) she was able to share with us within 24 hours of our wedding!! She was wonderful during the planing process, responsive, professional and accommodating with special requests. We felt so at ease with Catarina and her team capturing our wedding! Her work is beautiful.

you're engaged

and I know exactly where you're at

Does this sound familiar?
  • You're engaged and have booked your venue
  • You value photography over other vendors
  • You want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable
  • You're feeling excited, but a little nervous about making all these big decisions
  • You want to have tangible photos to look back on forever and pass down to your kids

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place. 

With over six years of experience shooting weddings I've got my timeline down to an art ensuring you aren't stressed and are comfortable.

Investment

collections begin at $4000

All collections include a second photographer, a 60-90 Minute engagement session, vendor recommendations, personalized wedding day timeline, online viewing/ordering gallery with high resolution images for printing 

Hiring Catarina as my photographer was THE BEST decision I made for my wedding.

Her style is light, airy, and timeless. Catarina is the sweetest and her team was so helpful the day of my wedding. She is so unbelievably talented and makes you feel so comfortable posing. Catarina has such a calm and peaceful presence, which is great on a high stress day! Working with Catarina was a dream and I couldn't have picked a better photographer. I promise if you are looking for a photographer-you will be in love with your photos and love working with Catarina! Thank you Catarina for capturing my wedding day and giving us perfect photos to cherish forever!

the

process

next

After inquiring we'll setup a Zoom meeting where we can connect and get to know each other better. I truly enjoy engaging with couples and listening to the beautiful love stories they share, along with all the wonderful details about their wedding plans. 

01. let's meet up

So its a good fit! You're ready to move forward! YAY! To make things official, a signed contract and 33% non-refundable deposit is due at booking. Second payment is due 6 months before the wedding and the final is due 1 month before the wedding.

02. make it official

This is such a fun way to get comfortable being in front of the camera and some beautiful images to use for your save the dates, guest book, etc., I'll send over my engagement session prep guide which will give you an idea for planning out your location. You'll also receive a wardrobe styling guide

03. engagement session

Having a timeline is crucial for having a super stress free wedding day.  I'll send over a questionnaire to get a few details from you. I will then create a personalized timeline from a photography perspective. 1-2 months before the wedding we'll have a zoom call to finalize any details.

04. timeline creation

YAY! It's wedding day!!! It's finally here! Which also means you get your house back from being buried under wedding decoration boxes haha I am SO excited to capture your beautiful day. Enjoy every second of the day!

05. wedding day

24-48 hours after the wedding you'll receive a wide range of images from throughout the day as sneak peeks. 6-8 weeks after the wedding you'll receive your final gallery.

06. gallery delivery

After your gallery is delivered I'll select a range of photos from throughout the day and design your wedding album. I'll send you a link to view and request changes. Once the album is approved the album will be in your hands in about 2 weeks.
