Can we give more than 5 stars? Why? Because Beaumonde Originals was nothing less than amazing. My husband and I discovered Beaumonde Originals through a internet search for both photography and videography services. This aspect of having both services in house was extremely important to us. We hit it off with Cathie from the very first Zoom video call. My husband and I live and breath Philadelphia and we knew Beaumonde Originals would best capture the infinite energy of our relationship. Want to talk about fun? Our engagement session has several costume changes and two very drastic location changes. We went from Philly sports fandom to University City academia. Cathie captured the whole day flawlessly. Fast forward to wedding day preparation. Cathie spelled out the day’s timeline in all practical forms. She made the day manageable, fun, and stress free. Enter Wedding day! Cathie and her team got down to business immediately and kept the flow going. Improv moments throughout the first look, bridal party photos, and family photos made the day even that more magically. Cathie and her team tackled the challenge that was the Franklin Institute Planetarium ceremony and the product was absolutely phenomenal. Even up to the ends of the epic reception, Beaumonde Originals maintained incredible focus and commitment to this spectacular day. My husband and I had the utmost trust in this team. We want to share all the love and adoration to Cathie and her team. When you book Beaumonde Originals, you can feel confident in the talent and dedication of the team. We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you book Beaumonde Originals for all your photography and videography needs for your big day.BeauMonde Originals's reply:

Cathie does an incredible job running BeauMonde Originals! She is so great about communication, always responded right away, gave great advice to us as our wedding approached and kept the calm the day of our wedding when things started to get a little crazy. She is so organized, creative and takes phenomenal photos. Her assistant the day of our wedding was also so awesome! During our reception, Daniel was seen walking around essentially hiding his camera to take those hilarious candid photos! He was also so kind and caring throughout the day, even offering sunscreen since it was so sunny and hot out! The entire experience was incredible and we would definitely recommend them to anyone we know!BeauMonde Originals's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words. We loved capturing your beautiful wedding and everyone was so sweet. We wish you a lifetime of love, happiness and laughter -

5 star PLUS
How do I give Cathie from Beau Monde more than 5 stars? It's hard to express in words how amazing Cathie is -- as a person & as a photographer. My husband, family, and friends loved her and how passionate she is about her work. Because our wedding was in a few weeks of booking her, Cathie was helpful and accommodating, she shot our reveal hours before the wedding. She then drove to another town to do the wedding, then back to the first location. We had endless compliments on our revel and wedding photos. I can't thank her enough for all her creativity, inspiration, and personal feel she added to that day. Cathie is the best photographer to work with! I will be using her again in the future and have already made several recommendations for her and Beau Monde. -

So excited that Cathie and Al helped us capture our amazing day! From our first phone call Cathie seemed genuinely excited about our wedding and having us as clients. They truly make you feel like you are part of the BeauMonde family! Services were everything we hoped for and more. Cathie took the time to go through a detailed walk thru with us at our wedding venue well in advance. Communication was always timely and efficient. On our wedding day both Cathie and Al were fun yet professional and caputured some truly amazing moments. They made sure to grab us to find the perfect shot at different points throughout the entire day but never felt like a chore- especially since my wife and I are not the type to enjoy a photo shoot. Friends and family immediately commented on the quality of our photography and we couldn’t agree me! Cannot recommend them enough- truly a fantastic experience. -

Cathie and Al are AMAZING. From our first phone call for our wedding, Cathie and Al made everything easy. My husband and I didn’t have a clear idea on how we wanted to structure the day and Beaumonde stepped in and helped us plan everything for the day and prioritized what mattered to us. I’ve never felt comfortable in front of a camera, but Beaumonde makes it easy, stress free, and you get fantastic results! Couldn’t recommend them more highly❤️ -

Finding a photographer for your wedding or any special day can be a daunting task! How can you find beautiful photos, as well as people that you vibe with and make you feel comfortable? After meeting with Cathie and Al at their home, we instantly connected and knew they were the right people to capture our special day. They got to know us as people, wanting to know what movies, TV, hobbies, and things we are into, so we could find what we have in common. We were going back and forth about if we wanted a videographer, and lucky for us Beaumonde Originals is a husband and wife team of a photographer and videographer. Cathie takes amazing photos and Al captures such special moments on film. Their additional photo and video team members are just as talented! We did our engagement photos and they helped us find locations that were unique across the city. They were totally willing to run around the city chasing beautiful locations and the sunset. Using them for our engagement photos helped us become more comfortable in front of the camera, and helped Cathie and Al learn more about us as a couple. We got our engagement photos back within a week and were able to use them for our Save the Dates.
Leading up to our wedding, we met for a venue walkthrough where we made a timeline for the big day, a list of photo locations, and sketched out lists of photos to be taken. Cathie communicated often and gave us clear lists of information and items she needed from us. This helped me stay organized and kept us both informed of important information needed for the wedding day. All of this preparation helped the big day run smoothly. The day of the wedding, the Beaumonde Originals team arrived on time and immediately got down to business. The team managed our large bridal party and families to get our photos done quickly. We were behind schedule after the ceremony went long, but the team worked efficiently to get us back on track. They captured all the special details of our big day and found unique locations for our photos. Above all, the team members at Beaumonde Originals are wonderful people to work with. They do their jobs extremely well, while being kind, passionate, and dedicated people. We wholeheartedly recommend them to capture your big day!

Meghan Sent on 10/09/2017We will be using Cat and Al for our wedding In July. We have already fallen in love with their work. Our engagement pictures turned out amazing and we can’t wait to see how our wedding turns out!!

Lauren Sent on 07/13/2018To sum up my experience with Cat and Al in two words it was priceless and perfect! I can’t say enough good things about them. From the very beginning when we met until after our wedding day they have made every step such a magical and perfect moment. This was the best day of my life that went by so quick and looking back now the only thing I have to remember it is the beautiful pictures and video they took. Out of everything that we booked for the day this is was hands down the best investment we made.
On the wedding day, Cat, Al, Jen, and Beth were basically our wedding planners! They went over and beyond from fixing my cake after my wedding planner put the card box top on the top of the cake (my wedding planner was terrible lol) to jumping in a stream barefoot to get the right shot of us to making sure I was calm and everything was going smoothly. There was another wedding going on the same time as mine and Cat went over (without me even asking) and made sure that it wouldn’t interrupt ours. The entire day anytime anyone asked me what was going on I just said “Ask Cat” and she took care of it! There are so many little things she did throughout the day that helped with the day going smoothly that were not part of her role, but she does it because she truly cares. On top of that, our pictures came out breathtaking! All of our friends and family are raving about the photos and are saying they have never seen such amazing wedding photos before.
I remember reading reviews for BG before we booked our wedding and them all saying how Cat and Al are now great friends of theirs and not only are they talented, but great people. I couldn’t explain it any better. They are amazing people and will be lifelong friends of ours now. I could go on all day about how great they were, but honestly our pictures speak for themselves. Check them out!

Alyssa Sent on 06/24/2015We can not say enough wonderful things about Cat and Al! Many of my dearest friends had horror stories of not having any pictures after paying hundreds of dollars on a photographer, so when my fiance' and I went looking for someone to capture our memories- boy did we hunt! Afterall, the pictures and videography are really the only things that you get to keep forever from your wedding day! We were so lucky to find BG Productions. Cat and Al are FANTASTIC. They don't just capture those pose and snap kind of pictures (though if that is what you are looking for, they can do that for you). They capture geninuine in-the-moment- pictures that have you looking back and falling in love all over again. Not only do they provide fantastic pictures and videography, but they give you the experience, art, and absolute authentic joy. We invested in more than just beautiful photos from BG Productions. We received the gift of friendship, ease in our planning journey, and works of art that we can never place a value on- what a blessing. Best. Decision. Ever.
