Moments Captured CNY 110 Google reviewsPosted on Heather BrownTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the absolute pleasure of working with Caitlyn, and I cannot say enough about her professionalism, talent, and calming presence. From the moment she arrived, she blended seamlessly into the flow of the day, organized, communicative, and incredibly easy to collaborate with. As a coordinator, I deeply appreciated her problem-solving skills. She stayed two steps ahead at all times, offering quick, effective solutions without ever disrupting the timeline. I was so impressed with her work that I later hired her for my own branding photos and she exceeded my expectations yet again. Her eye for detail, creativity, and ability to capture authentic moments is truly unmatched. Caitlyn is a photographer who not only delivers beautiful images but also brings comfort, confidence, and joy to the entire experience. I highly recommend her to any couple or vendor looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond.

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review Jordan! Congratulations on your engagement 🎉Posted on Jessica EdkinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were so thrilled to have Moments Captured CNY as our wedding photographers. From the very first interaction, Cait and her team were punctual, professional, organized and easygoing - making the entire process seamless. Their work is truly beautiful, elegant and of the highest quality. Not only did Cait make it super easy sticking to her schedule and keeping the momentum, but she made me feel special, seen, heard, and beautiful throughout our special day. I've known Cait for a while, and remember meeting her crew for the first time. Not only are they immensely talented, but are down to earth and focus on perfection. We couldn't be happier with the photos they captured and will relive our wedding day for years to come!

Thank you so much for your review Rachel! I'm so glad we could help!Posted on Thomas HarrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moments Captured CNY did photography, videography, and a Photo Booth for our wedding and we had such a positive experience with them. They coordinated with the staff at the venue so we could focus on the other details and they were quick and efficient when it came time to do the pictures right after the ceremony. The rest of the time I barely knew they were there, they were so unobtrusive, but so far the results are stunning. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for high quality photography at reasonable prices from people who were just genuinely nice and a joy a work with.

Thanks so much for your review Margo!Posted on Jennifer StevenerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is your PSA to book Caitlyn and crew from Moments Captured CNY for ANY of your professional photography needs!!! We 1000% recommend this business!!! My wife, Jennifer Gilson and I found her searching for a local (Syracuse, NY) photographer for our wedding and I’m SO GLAD WE DID!!! She is incredibly talented, kind, laid back, and full of fun ideas. Her and her crew made my guests feel comfortable and really allowed their personalities to shine throughout the whole process. They really captured the essence of what we were going for when it came to our expectations. We wanted to keep it light and fun, lots of candids, background shots. We tend to shy away from direct, “spotlight on us” kind of vibes…however…they made us feel BEAUTIFUL and really encouraged us to step out of our shells. And I’m SO GLAD they did! Thank you SO much try much for all of your hard work and kind words. You really made this pair of Jen/n’s BIG DAY a lasting memory. We 🫶🏻 you. I’m going to stop rambling and just show you guys already…

F.A.Q.'s
How does the surprise proposal photography process work?
It’s simple! Once you reach out, we’ll have a consultation to discuss your vision for the proposal. We’ll work together to choose the perfect location and plan all the details. On the big day, I’ll be there, discreetly capturing every moment as it unfolds.
What if I'm not sure about the location for the proposal?
No worries at all! I know Syracuse like the back of my camera. During our consultation, we’ll talk about your preferences and what would make the moment truly special for you and your partner. Together, we’ll find the perfect spot that fits your vision.
How long does it take to receive the final photos?
The time it takes to receive the final photos can vary depending on workload. On average, it takes 2-4 weeks to receive the final images.
What happens after the proposal?
After the proposal, I will hop out of the bushes (or whatever strange place I may be hiding) and introduce myself! We will then get right into the engagement session.
Will my partner suspect anything?
Not a chance! I specialize in stealth mode photography. I’ll blend into the surroundings and capture all the magic without giving away the surprise. Your partner won’t suspect a thing until after you’ve popped the question!
How soon should I book my surprise proposal session?
It’s never too early to secure your spot! Since each proposal is unique and requires careful planning, I recommend reaching out as soon as you start considering popping the question. This ensures we have plenty of time to create the perfect proposal experience for you.
Can we purchase additional prints or products?
Yes, you can purchase additional prints or products such as photo albums, canvas prints, or framed prints.
What if there is inclement weather or rain on our session date?
Don’t stress! If I deem that the weather is not ideal for shooting your session, I’ll be happy to reschedule the session to a mutually agreed upon date and time.
