Recent Review: Caitlyn was absolutely amazing. When I was stressed out about my big day she put my mind at ease and assured me that we had plenty of time and calmed my nerves. She was very patient with my children and I believe captured the exact essence of what we wanted. She was extremely personable and hilarious as well. She kept us laughing - which definitely helped for pictures!!! I cannot recommend Caitlyn enough. If anyone local to her is getting married they’d be sadly mistaken to not chose her and Memory Lane. Much, much love!!!!-Brynn Wesley, Google, Jan 2021
