About

On WeddingWire since 2020

Feeling seen and empowered isn’t a given for everyone. Most of us have a lot of anxiety about being photographed. Whether it’s body image, sexual orientation, race, gender identity, ability, etc., we’ve been taught that only some stories are worth being told--and ours might not be one of them.

I call BS.

I’m queer; my partner is a trans man. We’ve been together since before he transitioned. He and I haven’t been able to take for granted that just any photographer would see and represent us accurately. I know something about what it is to trust a stranger to document something as vulnerable as your love. Your identity. Your self.

As such, I focus on making my clients feel empowered and seen--and on making sure all kinds of people know they will be safe and honored in my presence.

Photography is my soul work. I’m not here for the transaction. I’m here to help you see yourself as an integral part of the tangled, messy, wonderful whole of humanity. I’m here to document your joy, your emotions, and your love.

Amazing Photographer!

My wife and I have had the privilege of having our photos taken by Cate several times! One of things we loved the most about her the first time she took our photos is how she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She didn’t have us take staged photos and instead she asked us to interact with each other to help capture how we are as a couple. When my wife and I decided to get married, we knew we wanted Cate to be our wedding photographer! She is such a joy to work with, and we knew she’d capture our wedding the way we wanted to remember it! She took beautiful photos of our wedding that have been featured in a local LGBTQ magazine! We have recommended her to all of our friends who are getting married, and we are excited to continue to see her at all of our friends’ weddings :)

Highly recommend

Working with Cate Barry was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. I reached out to Cate with a pretty last minute request and she promptly responded and was able to assist me. I explained my vision to her for the event/ photos and the final product exceeded my expectations. She was able to really understand what I was looking for and captured our special moments so beautifully and naturally. I am so happy we were able to work together and I would highly recommend her for your photos.

Beautiful photos, wonderful photographer!

We can’t say enough good things about Cate and why she is simply the best photographer you could find. We are delighted with the photographs from our wedding. We received a huge sneak peak just 5 days after our wedding. Cate’s photos beautifully capture all of the warmth and joy and wonderful moments of the day. More than that, Cate brings a great energy with her. She is an absolute professional when it comes to managing time and large, unruly families. She is also a fun, calming, easy presence to have around on a day with a lot going on. Her second shooter Kieran was equally professional and took some truly phenomenal photos of the groomsmen. Cate’s dedication to making wedding photography inclusive and comfortable for everyone truly shows through in her photographs. We can’t recommend her enough for your engagement shoot, wedding, or life moments.
