    Amazing Photographer Who Goes the Extra Mile!

    We could not have had a more perfect photographer for our Estes Park elopement!! Aaron scouted out sites and ended up taking us to three stunning locations! His attention to detail and personality made for a delightful photo shoot and put us at ease (and his prices are *very* reasonable!) And the fast delivery of his amazing photos were just the cherry on top of it all! We can't recommend him enough!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    I had just as much fun as you guys did. It was perfect conditions.
    Hope you enjoy the beautiful photos forever. And ever. I thank you for the unsolicited honest review and cant thank you enough.
    Peace to you and keep in touch. Say hi to Ian!

    Our Day Was Perfect

    Aaron made our Wedding Day and Colorado experience perfect!!! He was so nice and easy to talk to. Even months before our wedding we talked and he gave pointers before hand. My husband and I had other family that had to drive to our lake. In the mean time we took off with Aaron and took tons of pictures around the lake. Aaron was so nice and professional, by the end of the day we came family. Absolutely recommend Aaron!!!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thanks Danielle! Did you get the photo I emailed you from Sprague Lake? Its a landscape photo I took a few years ago. Let me know if you got it or I will re email it to you.
    Peace and it was alot of fun. Enjoy the photos.

    Highly recommended!

    Aaron was great! He was positive, flexible, easy going, and his photos were beautiful! Our photos were waiting for us when we returned home from our Rocky Mountain National Park elopement! All the photos that he took are included on the disc he sends and they are unedited but his camera and skills do not need any editing! He knows the National Park extremely well and made great use of our 1.5 hours with him. Highly recommend Aaron!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thanks Megan. We got lucky that day and got lots of locations.
    Easy and Fun. Thanks a bunch for the honest review and we got a lot of great photos so enjoy them. Priceless!!! It was easy for me to get awesome photos and a great experience for you guys. I know the park very well for a long time so that helps a lot. Peace to you guys.

    An Intimate Family Mountain Wedding

    Our wedding was an intimate (immediate family only) mountain wedding in Estes Park. We had to throw together the ceremony due to immigration laws since the groom was coming from London and laws require the couple marry within 90 days of VISA arrival. We were lucky to find Aaron for an April wedding. He brought our London and US families together with his casual and warm personality immediately! He was professional, prompt, very friendly and worked quickly to capture the various wedding elements of the day. He is a genius at capturing the mountain landscape with sunset lighting - highlighting the beauty of nature as a backdrop for the ceremony. We were shocked when he circled back with all pictures so quickly. We gave him a list of desired photos ahead of time (he asked for this) and he worked through the list thoroughly and with great efficiency. While our wedding was just a tiny affair (10 people), he treated our event as if it was the most important event. We hired him for a one-hour time only and he gave us his full attention! We hit the jackpot with Cathcart Photography!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thanks Peggy.
    It was my pleasure to get awesome photos and to be a part
    of your most special day! Enjoy and let me know if you need anything in the future!

    Aaron is phenomenal! He captured my soul against the backdrop of Rocky Mountain National Park, as the Aspen shown in brilliant color. He understands the magic of a single moment. I am in awe of his gift.

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thank you Laura! It was great. It was a beautiful day. You picked a great time of year. It could not have been better.

    We recently had our wedding at the Stanley Hotel and Aaron did the photography.

    Aaron brought a sense of energy and adventure to our wedding pictures that we've never seen before. This was second only to his profesionalism and skill. He was flexible with specific pictures we wanted; and creative on pictures when we had no idea what to take or what to do. His knowledge of the hotel and its grounds was also helpful in capturing the views as well as our wedding.

    I cannot recommend Aaron more highly. His prices are up front and honest, and his personality and creativity are second to none.

    Book him immediately!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thanks Rob. You guys are awesome. Could not have gone better. The Stanley hotel is great. Thank you for the great honest review.
    Enjoy the photos forever. Peace to you guys.

    Aaron was amazing. We booked a last minute elopement in Estes Park and he was available to do the photos. He worked with me to get all booked, and even on the day of the wedding showed up early when we had to push the time of the wedding up due to pending bad weather. He tracked outside in the freezing temperature to get some amazing shots. I have gotten nothing but compliments on the photos he took. He was worth every penny, and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thanks Elizabeth. I am always ready for any conditions in Estes Park.
    I have lived and worked full time photos here for over 20 years.
    You must have the best gear and be prepared for anything.
    You can not screw up a wedding. I LOVE each and everyone of them. Enjoy the photos and thank for the honest review. Peace.

    Aaron was absolutely wonderful to work with. We used him for our wedding in Estes Park over Labor Day Weekend. We had an early morning wedding on a Sunday and that was absolutely no problem for him to accommodate. Aaron was so easy to communicate with prior to our wedding via e-mail, text, or call. He arrived early on the day of and was SO attentive, fun, and accommodating. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Aaron took so many photos of things I didn't even realize and was very flexible in taking pictures of things we wanted. Aaron's prices are SO reasonable for the quality of work and pictures that we received. Our pictures were sent within the week on two flash drives and we were given three different file sizes of each picture - the raw/.NEF picture, a JPEG for printing, and a JPEG for e-mail/social media. I love that we received the full album of ALL the pictures that were taken and that we received it SO quickly. 10/10 would use again and 10/10 definitely recommend!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Chloe,
    That was so much fun. The place you rented was off the hook!!!
    Beautiful. I am very glad you are enjoying the images and thank you
    very much for the great, real, & recent wedding photography review on here.
    Let me know if you guys need anything in the future. Say hi to your dad for me!

    We had family photos made while in Estes Park for vacation. Aaron was so accommodating as well as kind and an all around pleasure. I would recommend him to anyone wanting photos done in Colorado. He had us genuinely smiling from the minute we met.

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Gretchen,
    You have me blushing.
    You guys were awesome.
    Thanks for the great review.
    I LOVE taking photos of weddings, family groups and anything!
    Enjoy the photos and thanks again.

    Aaron was great to work with! He took pictures at my wedding at St. Malo and then took my bride and I around Estes Park to some great locations that we never even knew about. We then had him take pictures at our reception as well and everyone talked positively about him and loved how upbeat and friendly that he was. We had many guests ask where we found him at. Then to top it off he got us our pictures just days later by dropping them off at our hotel during our honeymoon in Estes. The pictures were great too and he gave us all 900+ shots that he took! We highly recommend Aaron!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    thanks! your wedding was awesome.
    the photos are incredible also. perfect.
    you have an awesome group. enjoy the photos!
    st malo and the bristlecone inn are great locations.
    and all the other locations we stopped at. thanks again
    for the real life review!

    I emailed Aaron and heard back from him within hours. We wanted family photos taken while we were on a family vacation to Estes Park. He was flexible with us when arranging the date and time and we were especially thrilled that he had specific spots picked out since we weren't familiar with the area (but he was open to suggestions if we had other places to go). I learned all of this prior to meeting him but then my family and I were really impressed once we met him. He is passionate and fun. We had a three-year-old in our group and he was really patient when working with a kid who just wanted to stick his tongue out! Our pictures turned out great and he took TONS. We received our flash drive with the photos just a few days after returning home from the vacation!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Jill thanks for the great review. Your family is great. I have seen and dealt with everything. So I know a thing or two. Piece of cake.
    Enjoy the photos and I probably had more fun than you guys.
    So, thank you and I am glad to be of service to your family.
    Peace.

    Aaron was amazing!! We could not have asked for a better photographer. Our pictures are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for making our day so special.

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Amanda, First of all thanks for the great review.
    It was my pleasure to capture your special day.
    I love taking photos and it comes natural to me.
    Everyone wants to be a great photographer but
    you have to have an eye. I am third generation photog
    so that helps. As a kid my dad told me "son, you got a good eye".
    Peace to you Amanda.
    Enjoy the pics. It was fun taking them.

    We had a destination wedding and picked everything very quickly (less than wks!). Cathcart Photography was very responsive from the get-go & i described what natural background we wanted & his suggested location couldn't have been any more perfect! He was very professional but easy-going & takes AMAZING pictures. We are looking forward to someday making the 12hr 1way trip again with our kids & having him do pics again in the same location. I couldn't be any happier with our wedding ceremony pics- the quality is fantastic! We even had the photos back in less than a wk which I was very surpsrised by. I've since become social media friends with him & enjoy seeing his work, esp since he's on national tv etc & know that this kickass guy took our photos. Worth every penny!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thank you very much Sarah.
    Sorry for the late reply.
    I just as much fun as you guys did.
    Estes Park is a special place and a hidden gem
    in the USA. I have been doing this for a long time and glad you had a good experience.
    Enjoy the photos!
    Peace to you.

    Aaron did a great job! He brought very positive energy, and he was just excited to be there which was awesome! It was so nice working with someone genuine and who just loves what they do! He came early on the day of the wedding, and took amazing pics! He got all the images to us right away after the wedding, and made everything very stress free! I would highly recommend Aaron!

    Aaron is a phenomenal photographer! He is so easy to work with, and is very enthusiastic about taking beautiful pictures. We got our photos 5 days after our ceremony! Not only did he take tons of pictures of my husband and me, but he did lots of scenic shots and numerous photos of all of our guests, which we will treasure forever. I cannot recommend him enough. Do yourself a great favor and hire him for your event/wedding!!!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Marin, I have some of your wedding photos on my site.
    It was a beautiful day. Thanks for the great review.
    It was perfect @ the YMCA. That place is a hidden gem
    in EP. Affordable and THE BEST PLACE FOR A WEDDING!
    Borders Rocky Mtn. National Park. We got lucky. Will never forget you guys.
    Peace and enjoy the TONS of photos.

    Aaron photographed my wedding and he was simply amazing. He was so friendly, easy to work with and so patient with my small daughters and captured the essence of our wedding. He has an amazing eye for really taking photos that had amazing landscapes and that were flattering for us as well! We received the CD of ALL the photos he took with a release within less than a week. I was so happy with all of the photos, they were absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend Cathcart Photography to anyone looking for high quality, beautiful pictures.

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Blanca,

    Organization on the day of our wedding was a mess but Aaron was patient with rowdy kids and adults being all over the place. This was a destination wedding and thanks to Aaron he we will always have some of the most beautiful pictures I could have imagined. Not only is he incredibly talented he is a great value, charging by the hour and providing all the pictures and a print release!!! Stanton-McLaughlin families.

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Diane,
    I have seen and dealt with everything you can imagine.
    And I know how to deal with it. It was easy for me to get
    great photos for you. And FUN. The crazier, the better.
    Thanks again and enjoy the photos.

    I booked a package deal at the BlackCanyon Inn, which included an hour with a photographer. I was more than pleased that BlackCanyon Inn selected Aaron Cathcart to take the pictures. He was polite and courtesy. He gave great suggestions, but always listened to what we wanted. He took a wonderful mix of photos throughout the hour. And, best of all, I got my wonderful CD of wedding pictures before I returned from the honeymoon.

    It was a ridiculously good deal. My family is over the moon. We are really, really happy. I would highly recommend Aaron to anyone!

    Cathcart Photography's reply:

    Thanks a bunch for your review.
    I love weddings and taking photos of everything and anything.
    I dont know who you are, but I bet it was another awesome wedding. Thanks again for the review and enjoy the photos.

    Aaron was able to work with two people (us) who don't like having their photos taken and make it fun. He uses state of the art equipment and with his suggestions and recommendations presented us with absolutely awesome photos of our wedding. He had the photos prepared and shipped to us quickly. They were here before we got back home. I would highly recommend him for any photography needs.
