Excellent!

Cat and Rolf photographed our engagement pictures this past October. Our pictures turned out absolutely beautiful, we could not be happier. They have high quality cameras both film and digital and made us feel super comfortable in front of the camera! Cat’s is incredibly talented at finding the perfect light and her style of photography is airy, clean, and illuminating. Would definitely recommend to any bride!

Catherine makes things easier for us!

From our initial consultation to the delivery of our final wedding images, Catherine was attentive to detail, punctual and friendly. She was fun to work with and very knowledgeable about posing, lighting and equipment. Through the consultation, I was confident that she captured my vision for our wedding day and capable of documenting the way I envisioned. We really appreciated Catherine’s thoroughness and genuine care for us on our wedding day. She prepped us beforehand for the crazy process of taking family portraits. Our photos are stunning. They represent our wedding day so perfectly! We couldn’t have asked for anything better!

Will Go Back to Catherine for Everything!

Catherine is more than just a photographer to us, she has become a part of our story. We chose her to shoot our wedding day in 2017 and now she has reconnected with us to capture family photos with our first baby! Our little family has grown and Cat has been able to capture these special milestones along the way. From her calm and comforting presence to her advanced knowledge of the ways of the sun and natural lighting, she is everything you want in a photographer. The aesthetic she creates for the final edits of her photos are absolutely beautiful with a softening, natural filter. We are so happy to have these photos, to look back at our beautiful life through Cat’s Lense.

We LOVE Our Photos!

Excellent job! My husband and I hired her last year for our wedding in Beverly Hills. I found her on Instagram and was immediately attracted with her aesthetic and style. We first had a video call consultation and both my husband and I were impressed by her knowledge as well as her personality. We had previously interviewed other photographers who seemed a little pushy but she left us with more space and sincerely answered all our questions.

On the day of the wedding she showed up earlier than scheduled to set up and photographed our invitations, wedding shoes, engagement rings, and wedding bands, as well as other memorable details. Catherine and her team were incredibly patient and kind. She gave great advise while we are figuring out the perfect location for our first look and group photos. This was super professional and carried throughout the whole day. During our group photos, Catherine made very clear suggestions for posing to make sure we had the best pictures and that everyone looked great. We were so so happy with the photos she delivered and they were above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend hiring Catherine for your wedding or event, you can’t go wrong with her!

Excellent photographer with an artful style

Catherine is the absolute best! I have hired her 3 times for my family portraits and to capture special celebrations.
She is extremely detail oriented and I love her artful style. It's rare that you find photographers that shoot both film and digital. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or family portraits. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent!

Catherine is a superb photographer and thanks again for providing us a first-class service. On the day of our wedding she even arrived earlier than planned to scout around the venue. With one of the biggest days of our lives and such a huge action packed event, we feared that we would not be able to stop and take it all in and the day would soon fade from our memories. However she has truly captured the essence of our day providing us with so many wonderful images. It is hard to put in to words how blown away we were by her work. There were so many incredible and special moments that she managed to capture so perfectly, and so naturally, which is just what we were looking for. You won’t regret to choose her as your wedding photographer!

Catherine is amazing!

My fiancé and I had our engagement photos done by Catherine and I'm extremely satisfied with the overall experience! From the very beginning Catherine was a breeze to work with - She gave us options of places where we could do these photos in the city, and she was open to having our dog come for the photos (even though we decided not to bring her in the end). She brought a pop up tent for outfit changes and assistant for the pops and baggage which made the process go by quicker and more efficient! Catherine kept in contact with me throughout all my questions and emails, she has never not responded. She also provided a suggestion of outfit colors that work best. She was extremely professional and knew what she was doing, we were extremely happy with the photos. Thank you Catherine for everything!

Working with Catherine is a dream!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Catherine. She is exactly what you imagine when you think of a professional photographer. She is incredibly lovely to work with. I've worked with plenty of photographers in the past and have always had some sort of issue with each one. Never with Catherine though -- she is friendly, patient, understanding, and professional. She is a natural when it comes to capturing those perfect moments.

I admire how respectful and in sync she is with her clients. You can tell she really listens to what you want and will work with you to achieve whatever that is. She'll never just run with her idea and ignore my vision. She has the unique ability to grasp the looks, textures, and feelings that I'm explaining, even when what comes out is just gibberish. I completely trust her and feel comfortable putting my celebrations, projects, etc. in her hands.

She is also incredibly punctual and responsive. Having worked with her for over two years, she has never shown up late even once. And she is always just a text or an email away! She's easily one of the most responsive people I have ever met. Should I need to reschedule last-minute or have something edited after a shoot, she is always more than happy to help. Catherine is a true gem in a field saturated with people who simply don't care about their clients.

I hit the jackpot when I met and began working with Catherine. Her work is undeniably beautiful. The fact that she's the loveliest person with the utmost respect for her clients is just the cherry on top. If you're searching for a true professional to photograph your wedding, your family portraits, or anything sentimental, you will not go wrong with Catherine.

Thank you Catherine

On the day of the wedding Catherine and her team were so easy to work with. They knew exactly which details to capture and provided us with so many great memories. They had the perfect balance of knowing when to let the emotional moments flow naturally and knowing how to help focus a large bridal party to get fantastic group shots. Our photos turned out breathtaking!
