About

A wedding photographer with a background in fashion and photojournalism, I am 100% inspired by love. Things that make me happy are gorgeous details, sparkly things and beautiful light (and of course my wire-haired fox terrier Rufus and my sweet husband of 9 years!). My clients mean the world to me, and I am honored to document their day from the biggest moments to the most intimate and quiet times together. Inspired by each new couple, I love to create romantic, authentic and timeless images that capture the story of your day.

I want to know what my clients are crazy about and what inspires them! It is so important for me to connect with my couples, so they can trust me to capture their day and tell their unique story. As a wedding photographer I strive to provide more than just a service, but instead a custom, hands-on experience from start to finish. So please reach out and let's connect!

Reviews of Cat Pennenga Photography

Truly one of the best wedding photographers you can hire!

Cat Pennenga is without a doubt the best photographer, wedding organizer, and friend my wife and I found while planning our wedding. Cat was both friendly and professional and was so easy to get along with from the very beginning. She went above and beyond and voluntarily came to our pre-wedding rehearsal to help us decide where to take our wedding pictures. On the day of the wedding, she blended seamlessly into the crowd and was always there for my wife and I emotionally. The quality of her pictures speak for themselves. They are of the highest quality with the best mix of spontaneity and staged portraits without appearing over-edited. The complimentary online wedding portfolio is very well designed and our photos were available for high-resolution download for 1 year. Each time my wife and I look through our wedding album, it feels like we have been transported back to that magical day. Thank you Cat for everything you have done for us. You are truly a gifted photographer and will always be one of our best friends.

I love getting to relive our wedding day!

Cat Pennenga did an absolutely amazing job with our photos! Cat did both our engagement and wedding day photos! I don’t know how she did it, but she managed to capture the personalities of everyone in our wedding party. The photos she took are so special to us. After talking to her once, our decision was easy and I’m so glad we chose to work with Cat! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the shots she got are beautiful!

Couldn't Be Happier With Our Wedding Photos!!

We were blown away at how beautiful our wedding photos came out! Cat did such an amazing job. We received so many compliments on our photos. She captured every moment, even all the little details we forgot to pay attention to during the big day. She was also such a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t have been happier! Highly recommend Cat!

Cat is amazing

Where to even begin.. Cat is truly AMAZING! She did both my engagement shoot and wedding photography. Cat was super pleasant to work with, and laid back. She made the process very easy, and helped me bring my vision to life. Not only are her pictures amazing, but she is truly a pleasure to be around. I like to think that I can be a bit awkward when taking pictures (especially solo shots), and Cat made me feel so comfortable. Even though we had only met twice, I felt like I had known her forever! She truly made us feel special and comfortable which lead to amazing shots. Even our friends raved about how great she was. On top of that, we had some rain on our wedding day which caused some last minute changes, but she was such an expert and pro in still getting all the dream pictures we wanted. Thank you so much Cat!

Dream Wedding Photographer

Cat was the most incredible photographer I could ever dream of having. She was so detail oriented and helped coordinate logistics. We had so much fun hanging out with her on our wedding day, and she was incredibly sweet, thoughtful, organized, and took the most gorgeous photos. She even put together a little surprise montage days after our wedding! My family and I will definitely be using Cat for all of our future events!

Amazing photographer

Cat was absolutely amazing to work with! We had a beautiful ceremony at the historic Sarasota county courthouse followed by dinner at The Ritz Carlton. We had to adjust out plans a bit due to Covid. Cat was extremely helpful to us during a stressful time leading up to our day. Our ceremony was absolutely perfect. Cat took photos at both of our locations. She was such a pleasure to work with! She was patient, attentive and has a great attention to detail. We can’t thank Cat enough for capturing our special day with stunning photographs. We highly recommend Cat, you could not ask for a better photographer!
