Catherine was such a blessing! She took the time to know exactly what we wanted captured, and how we wanted it done. And she went to every length to make sure it happened that way! Since we didn't do a first look, it was super important to us to get time immediately after the ceremony for pictures of just us newlyweds. Catherine made sure to protect that sweet moment by keeping all family members away and sneaking us into nearby woods for our photoshoot! So thankful we will forever have those moments captured...I highly recommend her!

Hiring Catherine as our photographer for our recent June wedding is a decision we would make over and over and over again!!! Catherine was absolutely incredible to work with from the very first day that we communicated and we seriously cannot thank her enough for capturing our day so perfectly. When I reflect on some of our favorite moments of the day, it was taking photos with Catherine! She has a way of providing calm to chaos, makes you feel comfortable each and every step of the way, and HYPES you up 24/7! The support that we felt throughout our wedding from Catherine is something that will stay with me forever. Our day simply wouldn't have been what is was without her and there aren't enough words for me to express how grateful I am to have booked Tales & Trees as our photographer! Seriously - if you haven't booked her yet WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Thank you Catherine for everything! You are absolutely amazing at what you do!

We worked with Catherine (owner of Tales & Trees Photography) for our May 2nd 2025 wedding at Excelsior in Lancaster PA. I actually found Catherine’s work via Instagram while I was browsing for a photographer for our wedding. My husband’s father has been a photographer for 30+ years so it was important to my husband that whoever we chose was the right fit. While I know everyone has their own style, we chose Catherine’s for her natural looking, elegant and beautiful work.
We worked with Catherine for both our engagement and wedding photos so it was nice getting to know her through both processes– she’s always encouraging, ready to hype you up and good at direction. My husband is not one that likes to be in front of the camera but she let us be us– with some tweaks and we enjoyed joking around with her. It was such a quick and painless process for photos that I’d definitely suggest Catherine for those that aren’t exactly the type to want to be in front of the camera.
On the day of, she kept us moving quickly and easily. Her assistant, Autumn, was so kind and both of them just did their thing, without a whole lot of fuss. I’m thankful that we were able to have a planning meeting ahead of the wedding so I didn’t have to think through any of that anyways. She worked easily with all of our vendors, including our content creator that was on-site as well.
The following morning after our wedding I already had sneak peeks in my inbox before I even really got up and moving which just attests to her professionalism. While we haven’t gotten our full album yet, I’ve been drooling over the beautiful photos she’s already sent. I would recommend Tales & Trees Photography if you’re looking for a wedding, couples, or just general photoshoot– Catherine is a true joy to work with.

If you are thinking about booking Catherine, DO IT!!! I will never stop recommending Catherine’s services to anyone getting married :) From our first phone call to the end of our wedding night, Catherine paid attention to the small details and made sure everything looked exactly how we wanted it to. As a couple who doesn’t love getting their picture taken, Catherine’s warm and friendly personality made it feel more like hanging out with a friend. Our engagement and wedding galleries were everything we could have hoped for and more! She captured the tiny moments throughout our day that we will cherish forever.

Catherine is the best! She photographed a friends wedding and we fell in love with her photos & knew we had to book. From the beginning she was so responsive and helpful. She took the time to meet with us beforehand to plan out our shot list and ensure that nothing was missed. On the day of, she was the ultimate hype woman. She captured everything we needed, helped us stay ahead of schedule, and made sure we both felt comfortable the entire time. Our wedding day was truly the most easy going and calm day and I credit so much of that to Catherine and her energy! We loved getting our sneak peak the next morning & our full album came a month after. Every photo exceeded our expectations. We can't thank her enough!!

Catherine is such a joy to work with. She is so calm and easy going throughout engagement pictures and wedding day which makes it feel less like a photo shoot and more relaxed and natural.
Catherine even offered us a second engagement session when she hurt her wrist and had to send her second shooter to our initial engagement photos just so we had a chance to meet her! She truly loves what she does and made our engagement and wedding day flawless and memorable. Not only is SHE amazing, so are her photos!

WE USED TALES AND TREES FOR EVERYTHING! Literally all of our shoots, Engagement shoots, a pre rehearsal photo session, rehearsal dinner, and wedding Day. Each time we met it was fun and the results were AMAZING! I love looking at all the pictures. It brings us right back to the day. She gave us a sneak peak and jaw on the floor. The photos were GORGEOUS. She did a great job with everything. Highly recommend booking with Catherine!

We have had the pleasure of working with Catherine for a few years. When we first got engaged we found her to do a photo shoot with us. Due to Army schedules we had a long engagement and got to do another shoot 2 years later. It has been so fun to see how her work has grown and we are so happy to work with her.

We’re so thankful we had someone as kind as Catherine with us on our wedding day! We are not the most photogenic people and she made us feel so comfortable during all our photos. She was super fast in getting us our sneak peak photos and we can’t wait to see more! She captured us perfectly and we’re so happy to have these memories to look back on as we get older.

Looking for a photographer for my wedding day was one of the most important things on my list. When I found Tales & trees photography while scrolling through some pictures on Ig I immediately knew Catherine would be the best fit for us . My husband and I live in New York and even though we didn’t get a chance to meet before our special day it was as if we knew each other already. Not only did she capture beautiful pictures but she was so easy and fun to work with! Taking my wedding photos was a breeze and we had fun while doing them. Thank you so much Catherine for capturing those special moments that I can cherish forever !

We got married in September of 2022 and utilized Catherine's photo and video services. My husband is not a big fan of being in front of the camera, however after our engagement session, he commented on how easy Catherine made it. She helps anyone to feel comfortable by incorporating movement into her poses and she makes it feel so natural and fun! Our photos turned out so beautiful and we love that we have a stunning wedding video to look back on.
