Rae G. Sent on 03/26/2020One of the best parts of our Day
Words cannot describe how wonderful this team is, and how grateful I am for them. I had Cat and Nikki as our wedding photographers on our big day Feb. 2. We had a destination wedding in Guatemala and Cat and Nikki went above and beyond to capture every single moment so perfectly. From the smallest of details to the major moments, they were there. Cat calmed and reassured me we would make our timeline work when my dress broke and we had to do a quick fix/sew me into it, and she managed to work it out to still get my dream shots in Antigua City while keeping us on schedule by making up for it in a seamless family portrait session where, lets be real those can get off the rails sometimes. Her and Nikki working side by side with their polite take charge momentum was the perfect way to keep the family on track, and assure we captured every portrait important to us and them. Their creative thinking gave us the couples portraits of our dreams, and looking at them brings me right back to those special moments. Finally, they have such an eye for capturing elegant and fun candid moments in the reception in creative and unique ways, from dances to toasts to gettin down on the dance floor, plus they're just super freaking fun to hang out with all day, which is so important on your wedding day. If you're here and thinking of Studio Lemus as your photographers, please please look no further, you've found the best of the best. -

Fantastic photos! We had our engagement shoot with Cat. She was incredible to work with and made us very comfortable. The lighting and editing are top notch! Can’t wait for our wedding! -

Kirsten Sent on 06/12/2019Amazing! Super fun to work with!
Had an amazing time with these photographers!! They were super fun to get ready with while still maintaining professionalism. And totally on their game for family photos. During the ceremony and reception, they blended in and I didn’t even notice they were there! When we got our pics, I was so happy they were able to catch such great moments on camera! We even had a family emergency and almost had to cancel/postpone our wedding. They were so understanding and flexible! Everything worked out and “the show went on” as scheduled but they were very responsive and understanding to our emergency. You can tell they really love what they do! -

Juliene Sent on 11/24/2017Cat and Mike, are the best there are! Hands down, if you're considering them as your photographers/videographer, search no more. You have found them.
Cat and Mike are the ultimate power couple when it comes to wedding day. In general they were just so fun to be around for the day, I kept forgetting they were there to take pictures since they just fell so naturally into our conversations and nonsense.
Their work is what drew us to them to begin with, the attention to detail, creativity, and uniqueness to their craft is one I have still yet to see anywhere else. Their out of the box view on wedding photos, is exactly what we envisioned and they have captured that perfectly.
The process of working with them from the start was easy and seamless. Their packages are affordable and flexible to meet everyone's needs, without sacrificing quality. Their photos truly captured, just how beautiful everything looked on our big day. Just from the previews we have shown, our friends and family are blown away with how incredibly magnificent their work is.
We are very grateful to have had the privilege to work with Cat and Mike, and already cannot wait for the next big moment we will be in need of photos, so we can hang out with these guys again. -

Sara Sent on 11/20/2017We hired Cat for our engagement session and wedding. We highly, highly recommend her! Cat’s work is beautiful and her attitude can’t be beat. Throughout our entire process, Cat was upbeat, professional, and encouraging of our vision. The photos she took were beyond our expectations — I can’t even express how thrilled I am that we booked her.

Abigail Sent on 11/08/2017My husband and I got in contact with Mike & Cat for our 1 year anniversary photos in Iceland! We meet in a parking lot and went from there! They were AMAZING to work with!! The way she captured the scenery in our photos is seriously jaw dropping. Not only did they give us photos & video of our time in Iceland to cherish forever they are amazing people! We ended up campervanning together for the next two days!! My husband and I are blown away every time we look at our photos and pretty much play the video on repeat!

Terri Sent on 12/17/2016With our barn wedding at Bridle Oaks fast approaching, just a few weeks before our big day, my (now) husband and I decided that really wanted to splurge and hire a videographer. We started to think about our wedding ceremony and how it would be unfortunate if through our excitement and nerves, we didn’t really take it all in and remember the sweet details. Our wedding coordinators, Everlasting Events, recommended Lemus Cinema and helped us to secure them. Our budget was tight and Mike worked with us to make sure we had enough coverage and at a price we could afford. Even so, when Mike heard about our rather unique “Movie under the Stars” finale, he insisted on staying extra time to include the footage. Wow. Just really above and beyond.
We were thrilled to receive a sneak preview the very next day as we were leaving the country for our honeymoon! And then shortly after returning, we were blessed with the ceremony video and wedding trailer. Mike was even kind enough to add in a few elements at our request and even change the accompanying song.
During our wedding dinner, we were blessed with both of our Dads, two of our kids and our matron of honor all giving toasts and speeches. They were very touching and we were so thankful that Mike had caught them on video and was able to edit those for our viewing. We know this is footage we will cherish for years to come.
Beyond providing the exceptional service and videography, Mike is the kind of guy you want to INVITE to your wedding as a guest. He was so cheerful and fun. He really helped to put us at ease and he worked well with all our other vendors. We heard nothing but praise about him from everyone he encountered. Not just professional, but incredibly likeable!
We are so grateful to Lemus Cinema and Mike for capturing our fairytale wedding. We hope future brides and grooms who are considering hiring Lemus Cinema will do so without hesitation. It’s one of the best decisions you can make for your wedding!

Amy Sent on 08/24/2016GO WITH CAT LEMUS!!! GO WITH CAT LEMUS!!!! GO WITH CAT LEMUS!!! I would shout it from the rooftops if I could! It will be the best decision you ever l made, hands down. I looked for a wedding photographer for about 7 months before I found Cat. I was picky. No one had what I was looking for. I'm big on looking at photographer portfolios and seeing a vast range of variety, rather than the exact same type of shoot every.single.time. When I see this, I see an artist. I see someone who's able to tap into each person or couple's unique personality, and adapt to make a creation which reflects them. This is exactly what I saw in Cat's work and she did not disappoint. In fact, knowing that we hit the jackpot, I was still BLOWN AWAY by our photos. I cried!!!! No one could have captured the raw feelings, emotions, and magic of the best day of our lives... While simultaneously capturing our personalities. I look at our photos and think "that's SO me and Nick!". Know that when you choose Cat, you aren't just choosing someone who knows how to use a camera - you are choosing an artist. Trust me, you need someone with that creatively brilliant mind to put together a masterpiece. She also is very open to accomodating to your specific requests, although I highly recommend just letting her take the reigns. We could not be more pleased with our photos - they look like they are straight out of a magazine. I found photographers that were double if not triple her prices that didn't come close to her work. You have found a gold mine here people...TRUST ME!! Go with Cat!!! We have since moved to a different state, yet still plan on making SURE our paths cross again someday to ensure future life events and milestones are captured appropriately. I almost never write these reviews but this one was an absolute must, if I can lead even one person to her I will have done my job. Best of luck in your photographer search and please look into this one, you won't regret it!! -

Kristina Sent on 07/31/2012Cat Melnyk was amazing to work with!
We had 3 6pm scheduled shoots which all were rained out - Cat was so flexible to make sure we had the best lighting and we rescheduled for 6am!
When we arrived, Cat had the dock lighted with candles at 6am. She also created various props including a framed map, vintage suitcases, a cute sign, and PADDLEBOARDS! She truly captured our personalities and made us so comfortable! She encouraged us during the shoot and set the romantic mood. Her editing is flawless and we are in love with our photos!
