Great to work with, amazing photos

Catherine and her partner Allistor were amazing! Great to work with, talented and professional; and they know how to get a great picture (even a first look in the rain.) My husband and I are not picture people and they were patient with us and easy to work with. The actual pictures are PHENOMENAL - there are not enough words to describe how in love I am with my pictures. I never thought I would be this person obsessed with my wedding photos, yet here I am! The shots they got are beyond words.. lots of documentary / candid shots which is what I wanted. They got some beautiful pics of our dog who hates photos more than we do. Again, would 110 percent recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Catherine and Alistair!! They were professional from beginning to end, and made us feel completely at ease. It is obvious that they are very passionate about their photography and make sure that they take their time and get the best quality photos possible. They made our wedding day so special by just being a part of it. They both have a great sense of humor and helped us enjoy our day even more. They are both so talented, and it was fascinating just to watch them work together. It was a pleasure working with them, and we hope to use them for photos again in the future!

We booked Catherine and Allistar to photograph our wedding after they did our engagement pics. They were running a promotion through Roundhill at the time and we were able to get the engagement session for free, then recieved all of the pics for free when we booked them for the wedding. I'm so happy we had that "practice"shoot with them so we got to spend a bit of time seeing how they work. We received the wedding photos within the timeline it was given. They are amazing! The only problem I have is that there are too many goods one, how do I pick? I love their style, which is a blend of portrait and photo journalism. They don't do the corny fading/blurring/feathering techniques which I'm not really into. We are very happy with the final product!

We first met Catherine at a vendor meet and greet at our reception venue. My husband and I knew immediately that she was the photographer we wanted. She is fun, easy to talk to and has you relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera without you even realizing it. There is a picture someone took at our wedding that shows Catherine capturing the look on his face when I walked down the aisle and he had no idea she was there. She and Alistair are seamless. On our wedding, Catherine really kept things moving and corralled our families as needed, which was a huge help. I didn’t feel like we had to spend hours taking formal photos – Catherine knew the best shots and made the most of our time so we could actually get back to the party and hang out with our guests. Overall, great experience.

One of the things we loved most about Catherine and her crew (we shot with both Alistair and Bob) was their calm, competent, and funny personalities. Catherine has a wonderful combination of professionalism and casual humor, and she really put my wife and me (not to mention all of our family members) at ease during our shoots. An engagement session is included in the wedding package, and was a great opportunity to get used to having photos taken (and kissing on cue!). Most important, we were very happy with the photos (still looking forward to the wedding pics!) Catherine and Bob were excellent on our wedding day as well, rolling with the punches even when our fall wedding turned into a winter snowstorm. I'd recommend Catherine and her team to anyone!

Love them, Love them, Love them! Catherine and Alistair did both my engagement pictures and wedding photos. Still waiting on the wedding photos but if they're anything like my engagement pictures they are going to be amazing! My husband and I had a lot of fun working with them and they are so not "wedding photographers" rather they are true artists and have a real craft for photography which in my book is even better. I suggest them to all of my friends!

Jackie was the photographer at our wedding and she did such an amazing job. Not only did our pictures come out wonderful, but she made us feel very comfortable on our wedding and wasn't pushy or rude to our guests.

We have worked with Catherine Leonard Photography MANY times and it has always been a great experience! Whether it's a high-end NYC affair or a beach wedding in Mexico, Catherine and Al are unobtrusive, professional photo-journalists who do their jobs at an amazingly high level. One of the things that couples don't realized is that it is VERY important for photo and video to get along well on the wedding day as it will ultimately improve the final product that they receive. When the photographer and videographer have similar styles and know what the other is thinking without even having to talk, it makes the flow of the day go so much better. When working with CLP we are always are always on the same page as far as how to cover a particular moment so that we do not to intrude on each other's shots or become an obtrusive presence in front of the couple. This synergy is invaluable when working with couples who want their photo/video teams to both capture the moments at a very high level while at the same time being virtually invisible! When TAS and CLP work together, this is ALWAYS the case. Another thing I love about CLP is that they specialize in boudoir shoots and have an amazing studio designed just for this. Many brides are looking to get their fiance a unique gift that they they will love and a pre-wedding boudoir shoot at CLP is the perfect solution!
