Catalina Jean Photography - Portland, Oregon

Jessica J.

Catalina is an incredible artist & captured our special day beautifully! The photos really tell a story & capture the little moments, emotion, and love. Every time we look through these photos, we will be able to truly relive the day. We will cherish these forever!

Catalina is not only an incredible one of a kind photographer, but also person. She is amazing & made us feel completely at ease & comfortable. It was so much fun taking all of photos after the ceremony and during our engagement photo shoot. Her passion and excitement were contagious! She understood us as couple & found places for our photos that fit us.

We can’t wait to print these and cover our house with a zillion of these photos! Don’t hesitate to hire her, she is amazing!

Choosing a photographer for our wedding in October was such a big decision, as I knew the photos would be the one thing we continued to look back on throughout our lives. In exploring options, we came across Catalina Jean through a recommendation from our venue. I was immediately drawn into her style of editing and the true talent that came through her website and social media. Once I got to talk to her, I knew she was a great fit for us. She was incredibly kind, extremely helpful, offered guidance where needed, while also allowed us to share what was important for us day-of. My fiancé and I are definitely not comfortable being in front of a camera, but she made the day so relaxing and fun. I honestly didn't even think about feeling awkward at all! The photos turned out so much better than I could have expected, Catalina is 100% worth the investment!

Catalina was truly one of my favorite vendors I worked with for my wedding in November 2022. First of all, she makes taking pictures SO MUCH FUN. My husband and I hate taking pictures and feel very awkward in front of the camera, but with her, she makes it feel so fun and effortless. She has the BEST artistic style and captures such beautiful moments in a natural way. She was also so flexible and easy to work with which is such a must for your wedding. She was extremely responsive and connected with me throughout the process to make sure she had all the details she needed to make the day smooth. She helped make the perfect timeline and keep things on schedule. We had a morning ceremony and evening reception, and she worked with me to make sure we could add in enough time to capture both events, and even stayed longer to get some additional pictures at the end of the night. I didn't want her to leave because she was just such a fun wedding guest, regardless of the pictures! I got so many compliments about her, not just about the actual pictures (though I got a ton of those, too), but also about how fun and cool she was throughout the day. She also photographed our engagement shoot and rehearsal dinner, which all turned out amazing. I cannot say enough good things about her and the beautiful pictures she gave us to remember our special day!

We cannot say enough good things about Catalina. We hired Catalina to fly all the way to our Tulum wedding because we knew she was worth it! She captured our wedding and the emotions better than we could have imagined. We are in love with these photos and will cherish them forever! Catalina was easy to communicate with, always responsive, and brought such a warm, fun energy to the day of the wedding. It was important to us that we not spend more than 30 minutes doing portraits since we wanted to party with our guests, and she was totally respectful of this request. Seriously, this was the single best investment of our wedding and I hope we get the chance to work with her again.

We loved working with Catalina from the very beginning. She's totally spunky (in a great way), brings lots of energy, is super punctual, and has a super keen eye for making us look a-mazing. Aside from the photo shoot sessions throughout our wedding (which make awesome photos too), she's mostly like a fly on the wall or in a room so a lot of pictures feel candid which was exactly what we were looking for. She was able to really capture emotions, highlighting all the feels from our wedding. Plus, she was VERY dedicated to snapping the most amazing sunset photos which were SO worth it, esp. given the perfect weather and venue we were at. Thank you thank you for being a part of our wedding and documenting the most amazing time we get to cherish forever.

As a wedding planner I work with a lot of photographers. Hiring professional wedding vendors means your event should run smooth and clients/couples will get excellent service! However, many photogs can be arrogant and take advantage of the timeline for the benefit of photos. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Catalina of Catalina Jean Photography and her videographer!! Not only did they work together effortlessly, they kept to the timeline! They were very personable to the wedding party, the guests and the other vendors. But, really most importantly, the IMAGES she captured were stunning! If you're planning a wedding and photography is important to you, I HIGHLY recommend a consultation with Catalina Jean Photography!!!

Where do I even start? Catalina was more than a pleasure to work with. Not only was she professional but her calm disposition helped everyone feel at ease on the day.
She helped immensely with our timeline and helped us to coordinate some of the key moments of our intimate wedding.
If you are looking for a photographer who is incredibly creative, kind, and will put your wants and needs before anyone else's on the big day Catalina is your gal!
Our wedding photos are truly exceptional and we have had so much fun sharing them with friends and family.

As a venue owner, I met CJ at our last wedding of the season. Just so impressed by her demeanor and ability to put the couple and their attendants/family at ease throughout their event. But then she shared a few of the photos and am rushing to place her up near the top of my Preferred Provider List! Stunning. Gorgeous. She seemed instinctively to line-up the best shots and showed the Bride&Groom -- and Vineyard View Celebrations -- in the most excellent light. Can't say enough about this Photographer and her work . . .
