    If you want a perfect wedding video, your search ends now.

    Cat is a wonderfully talented videographer who captured our wedding in all the right ways. She is professional, responsive, and friendly. Her website has great examples that show you her style is so artistically driven while simultaneously capturing moments authentically. Cat was in my opinion, my #1 vendor. You won't regret it!

    Holly! Thank you so much— this made my day. Loved capturing your day and creating your film s’much!

    Cat is the best!

    We are SO grateful Cat was able to film our wedding day. As soon as we found Cat’s video on IG, we knew immediately she was our number 1 choice of videographer, without a doubt. Cat was amazing to work with, she is so creative, talented, professional, genuine, and one of the kindest people. She perfectly captured all of the moments (both big and small) throughout our day, and we absolutely love the moments she chose for our highlight video. She worked so seamlessly with our photographer, we didn’t even feel like we were being recorded all day! She captured our vibe so well that it feels like we are reliving our day each time we watch our video. We cannot thank Cat enough for her hard work in filming and creating our videos. 10/10 recommend her to every couple looking for a videographer!!!

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Thank you so much, Grant! You and Naomi are the best — loved, loved, loved being a part of your day.

    Wedding video of your dreams

    Cat is insanely talented. I knew I wanted a videographer for my wedding, but I could not find anyone whose portfolio showed what I was looking for. I wanted a non-traditional wedding video. Something that captured the day while feeling organic, artsy, and romantic. Thank god I stumbled upon Cat on IG. I emailed Cat quite literally one minute after scrolling through her portfolio to see if she was available. Cat has an eye for finding the beauty in things and bringing them to life. Something as mundane as sunlight reflecting through a glass. Cat captures it and makes it art. I cannot recommend Cat enough. She's awesome, shes great and what she does, and she'll leave you with a timeless video of your most special day.

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Hilary - you are the best! Thank you for these sweet words. Loved your vibe, your style, and your wedding day!! So happy we were a part of your talented vendor team.

    Film your day for when your memories fade away

    My husband and I booked Cat after seeing 1 Instagram post and having 1 phone call. When you know, you know ;).

    I knew I wanted videography services and one of her reels caught my eye (the song she used was a string quartet version of one of my husband and I's "songs"). I saw the reel, sent her an email, and was shocked that she was in our budget. It really felt like fate.

    Cat probably doesn't realize this but booking her set the tone for other vendors we booked and we truly had a dream team. I have her to thank for that!

    She and Jared were professional, kind, and easygoing. She had a very calming presence about her and she vibed super well with our photographer (who we also loved)! I had zero concern or worry about the quality of the content she would produce- we trusted her completely. Every teaser I saw was exactly what I'd hoped. She caught the most perfect moments and our video is truly a representation of the day. I will cherish it forever, especially as we grow older and the memories inevitably fade.

    I would book Cat a thousand times over and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a videographer- wedding coverage or otherwise!!

    Not just another videographer

    Cat was hands down one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding. She captured moments that you could never experience with photos alone and really brought to life one of the very best days of our lives. PLUS she combines music and movement - using the music that inspires our love story to create a unique video soundtrack. She was able to record our ceremony separately and when we discovered that no one had filmed the Best Man's speech, Cat was able to add on additional coverage at a very affordable cost. Not only is Cat's approach to video unique and inspiring, she also provided so much care and enthusiasm for us a couple. She truly was one of our biggest fans! Cat's work is gift that we will cherish forever.

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Trici! I am so grateful to have been the one to capture your day. It was so fun and you two are full of life (and a very deep love). Thank you for your sweet words.

    Best Videographer Ever!! Our Highlight video is a dream!

    We loved working with Cat!! Our wedding highlight video is absolutely perfect! She did such a fun job editing and syncing the music, definitely not a standard, plain video! So much fun and so talented, we loved having her celebrate with us on our wedding day! On the wedding day she faded into the background and we didn't even notice she was there most of the day, and she captured so many special and intimate moments! Do yourself a favor and book her!! :)

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Seth-- I loved capturing your day! Your wedding was so fun and you both were lovely to work with! Thank you so much for this sweet review-- it made my day to read!

    The Perfect Personal Touch

    Cat was not only the nicest person to work with, but an incredible creative. Her style is as if a person attending the event caught every fun moment, in high quality with the perfect angle. I cannot recommend her more.

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Thank you, Caitlin! I have enjoyed working with you before, during, and now after your big day. :) You and Dan are the best and we had so much fun at your wedding. Can they all be like that?! Appreciate your kind words!

    Beautiful work by incredibly kind people!

    Hands down, one of our favorite wedding vendors! Cat was such a joy to work with. She went above and beyond on our wedding day (fixing my dress before I walked down the aisle, helping with our dog while shooting photos / videos with the pup). She and Jared felt more like old friends than a company we hired. They're incredibly creative, talented and kind people with an effortless artistic eye for detail. They make you feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and they captured our day beautifully. My husband and I love music, and Cat took the time to learn about our preferences and used songs that matched our wedding videos and vibe perfectly. I can't stress enough how amazing these guys are. Wedding days fly by... So it's nice to be able to re-watch the videos Cat created and re-live the day again and again. Trust me, hire them... You will not regret it!!!

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Sarah, you and Josh are the best! We loved working with you. Everything felt so easy and your taste spoke for itself. Such a perfect wedding day. Thank you for your sweet words and including us on your vendor team.

    Easy to work with and great final product

    Cat and Jared were amazing to work with! She got on a call and listened to our requests and gave us a perfect wedding video that had everything we wanted.

    Beautiful Work!

    Truly cannot say enough about what a delight it is to work with Cat. She did a beautiful job on our engagement video! Cat and sound guy Jared are great, 10/10 will use them again next time we get engaged.

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    We love you and Jared and would 100% do your next engagement video! ;) Thanks for being so fun to work with - can't wait for your wedding!

    The absolute best & personalized experience.

    We could not ask for more from our experience with Cat and her partner. Cat was one of the first vendors we reached out to. After seeing clips of her work on instagram and chatting via FaceTime (a covid friendly consultation), we booked her for our big day.

    Throughout the process Cat was very flexible and accommodating. She was able to capture all of the moments we wanted and include others we may have missed throughout the day. She included us in every step of the process, down to our opinions on music selection.
    We had a really quick turn around for our video ( right around a month). The wait felt even shorter because Cat routinely posted little sneak peaks, clips, and stills from our wedding day on her social media. She even posted a clip of our first look the night of our wedding!

    Cat was a great resource for recommending other vendors and giving other planning advice.

    Cat and her audio partner are true professionals and masters in their craft. Our video really reflects our memories and the whole vibe of our day. More importantly for us when booking vendors, was the ability to feel like we were all a good match. Because when it comes down to it, the couple and all of the vendors are one big team with a common goal. Cat and partner were able to coordinate with all of our other vendors. Cat added to the calm of our day and was able to adjust when the schedule called for it. It felt like we had just another friend there for the day- just a super talented one who happened to be filming lol Overall, we could not be happier with our experience and beautiful wedding day film!

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Omg, Taylor! Thank you for the kind words. You and Clem felt like friends and were absolutely great to work with- I had so much fun! You guys are the best and I'm lucky to have been a part of your day.

    Cat was a rockstar! She’s so sweet, nice, and easy to work with. She worked very hard with me to find the perfect song to match our vibe and our wedding day perfectly. Cat was always quick to respond and always had great tips & advice throughout the process. She made sure we got exactly what we wanted out of our video and was dedicated to making it happen. I would recommend her to anyone! I absolutely loved her.

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Aw, Corey! Thank you so much! Working with you was effortless and I'm so happy you loved your film! I know you and Jordan have a great future ahead of you.

    Dream Elopement

    Cat captured our elopement ceremony in the most ethereal way. The video she created for us was the perfect display of our feelings and emotions, and the best way we could have preserved this memory. She was responsive and professional, and knew exactly how to create our unique vision. We were blown away by her work and I couldn’t recommend her more!

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Amazing and Professional

    Cat was our videographer for our wedding! She was extremely professional, dedicated, and creative. Our video was done within a reasonable time and literally brought tears to our eyes watching it all over again! We were able to gift our video to our families who weren’t able to be there bc of covid. Truly a needed add on for weddings right now!

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Thank you, Sara! You and Shane are the cutest and your ceremony made me teary, too! So glad we were able to create something to share with your loved ones. Happy to have been a part of your intimate celebration!

    Timeless Videography

    We were delighted with the end result of our wedding video. Especially during these crazy times, it was so meaningful to have an edited version of our wedding day. Cat and her assistant Jared we're responsive, professional, and generally on the ball. We gave them a few "must-haves" and let them take it from there. We could not be more pleased in how it was edited to a reasonable length still capturing the beauty and love on our wedding day.

    Personalized Wedding Videographer

    After watching her body of work grow through the launch of her business, my husband and I reached out to Cat McCarthy Creative to request a film of our wedding day. We felt that she would understand our style and taste, we were not disappointed! From the start, we knew working with Cat was the right choice. Her kindness and thoughtfulness radiated through even our email communications! Throughout the process of planning, shooting, editing and finalizing this film - Cat was the utmost professional vendor. She was clear and patient, taking our wishes into consideration while developing something uniquely hers. The final product definitely speaks for itself! Would 100% recommend to a friend.

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Erin! We loved working with you and Sam. We appreciate you trusting in us and being such lovely clients. I know the Meoños will have a great future!

    Outstanding, Creative, and Amazing to work with

    I picked Cat because I loved the authenticity of her highlight videos, as well as the amazing choice of music. She delivered my highlight and parts of my wedding in a very timely matter, and it turned out so beautiful. Highly recommend if you want an intimate view on your special day.

    She also worked with our photographer so perfectly, that even though it was the first time they met, my family thought they’ve been working together for years! That’s just how good Cat with people!

    I also want to give a shout-out to Jared, the audio mixer and Cat’s partner. It all turned out so wonderful, I’m glad I found them!

    Cat McCarthy Creative's reply:

    Ashley- thank you so much! You were incredibly easy to work with and your wedding was lovely. I had so much fun working with your photographer, Laura. You and Bryce made our jobs easy. It’s very clear why you two are the perfect fit! Jared and I thank you for trusting in us to capture your day!
