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!

Catherine is an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! I very much appreciate her positive enthusiastic energy. Catherine is such a breath of fresh air. 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!!
