Such a visionary artist and kind soul.

Catherine helped me through the happiest most nerve wracking emotional rollercoaster of a wedding. She supported me when I was stressed, reassured me and got the BEST photos of me and my husband. She was worth every single penny and we cherish our stunning photos with all of our hearts. She is an investment you'll be so glad you made!

Very professional, adaptive and has great work!

I hired Catherine mere days before a last minute elopement style wedding. She rolled with it and was so adaptive to our loose plans, I was surprised how easily her professionalism kicked in. She just instinctively knew what to do, which is what my friend who referred her said she would be like. She was the photographer at their wedding as well! Our photos turned out so great and we were comfortable and at ease the whole time! We highly recommend her to anyone with any level of planning involved in their wedding. She knows how to handle any situation! Thanks Catherine!!

Catherine was a true professional on our wedding day and before..

Catherine was a true professional on our wedding day and before. We could tell she really listened to our concerns and worked so well directing us, our family and wedding party and got some seriously impressive shots! I can't recommend her enough and she has already secured the wedding dates of one of my bridesmaids who also fell in love with her and her work! Thank you so much!

I have worked with MANY photographers during the 1,000+ weddings I have Produced/DJ'd over the years and Catherine is one of my MOST Favorite. She is professional, She is Friendly, She was very talented, especially with getting creative photos. Always at the right place at the right time to capture the most amazing memories for her clients (and their guests), on photo. She always had a smile on her face!!! You could tell she LOVED being a photographer. I could EASILY see some of her photos show up on a cover of a wedding magazine. I HIGHLY recommend Catherine!!
