    Catherine will not only capture every memory from the day but make sure those memories are absolutely perfect!

    Catherine is exceptional in every way. She is able to capture the intimate and joyful moments of your wedding without making them seem posed. Looking at the pictures she captured, I feel like I'm experiencing the day all over again. Her style of photography captures every moment in a warm glow that makes the whole event seem dreamlike and blissful. Most importantly, Catherine is ORGANIZED and helpful. Leading up to the day, she had numerous check-ins to ensure everyone was on the same page and that the pictures we wanted, we would get. On the day of, she was truly another bridesmaid to me. She fixed my bustle numerous times, helped me fix my makeup, kept me hydrated, and prevented me from passing out in the August heat. She will not only capture every memory from the day but make sure those memories are absolutely perfect!

    The happiest day ever

    Catherine was exemplary. From the start of our experience meeting for coffee to our wedding day, Catherine brought joy, humor, and fun to the photography process. She made us feel comfortable and prepared for the big day by meeting with me beforehand and walking through the venue, scouring our location for the perfect photo locations down to the exact spot the sun would hit at sunset.
    We felt extremely prepared due to her questionnaire, which we printed out to ensure our photo helped had all of the picture combinations we wanted captured on our wedding day.
    My advice to a friend looking for a wedding photographer would be to find a photographer who is excited for you. Catherine and I were both ecstatic when looking at the previews on her camera, she was as happy as I was!
    Catherine provided lots of help with posing our large family. She was also very gracious when family members asked for additional picture combinations day of.
    Our favorite part of taking pictures with Catherine on our wedding day was how much fun she had with us and her artistic vision. We were running through our venue laughing, recreating bridgerton ballroom poses, and spinning around laughing. The pictures we saw in the preview took our breath away. Catherine captured exactly the vision we had hoped for and more, we are so grateful to have had her talent on our wedding day

    Amazing day with Catherine

    The experience with Catherine was absolutely amazing. She made both my husband and I feel so comfortable taking photos with her. My husband is very shy in front of the camera and he quickly warmed up and was able to take photos with guidance from Catherine on posing. We asked a lot of Catherine for our post wedding photos. She traveled all around Pittsburgh with us going from place to place doing different photos from the Allegheny County Courthouse, Frick Fine Arts Fountain and the Pittsburgh botanical gardens. I loved how she posed us but also would incorporate our ideas for photos/poses as well when we would make a request. She was amazingly accommodating with everything for the day and really helped to make it special.

    Elopement in Cooks Forest

    Catherine photographed our elopement. I was frantically looking for a photographer as we very quickly planned a wedding. As soon as I spoke to Catherine on the phone, I knew immediately who I wanted to go with. She was kind and just as excited as we were. She made the whole process simple. On our wedding day, she was there helping to light candles and move furniture in our cabin as we got married in front of our fireplace in Cooks Forest, PA. The sneak peaks that we received are so beautiful and we cannot wait to see the rest. From the ceremony to champagne toast to pictures in the woods she had great ideas for both posed and candid shots. We loved working with such a sweet and compassionate person who also made the day so comfortable and so fun! We cannot wait to work with her in the future. I highly recommend Catherine for your large wedding or your intimate elopement. Either way she will capture all of the perfect moments!

    Hire Catherine!!!

    Catherine was such a pleasure to work with. In addition to being a great photographer, she helped keep our day on track and her calm vibes rubbed off on me (which was much needed). She sent us a questionnaire a few weeks before the wedding, and then followed up with a phone call about a week out to gather details about family/friend dynamics and a list of group photos that we wanted. This helped our group photos go smoothly and quickly. She also showed us a few photos on her camera screen as we were taking them, and seeing how great they looked helped us feel more confident going forward. Catherine got our sneak peek back to us in about 12 hours (when does she sleep?!), and they are absolutely stunning. We've already recommended Catherine to friends and family looking for wedding photographers and holiday photoshoots.

    Catherine was a dream photographer!

    Catherine was an amazing photographer. She made Ron and I feel at ease and comfortable while doing the ceremony. We had a list of photos we wanted to get, from the incline to our boat, and Cat delivered. She posed us in a way that was comfortable and did not feel forced. The initial questionaire and phone call went well and easy. We discussed everything Ron and I thought was important to us. How our wedding ceremony is just in front of our parents, and the reception will be in front of guests. The photos that she showed me were beautiful and I am so excited to see the rest.

    Thank you so much for your review, Ally!!! It was so much fun photographing your wedding and I cannot wait for you to see the rest of your images!

    Amazing Work!

    Catherine was truly an amazing photographer to have with us for my husband and I’s wedding day! She made us feel comfortable and eased any anxieties we had about the day. We are not comfortable with being in front of a camera, but Catherine walked us through ever step of posing and had wonderful suggestions and ideas throughout the day. My favorite part of working with Catherine was how hands on she was! She was a huge help with things that caused me stress on my wedding day, like my wedding timeline, staying on track with our timeline, and even helping me with my bustle and veil! You could tell she truly wanted to help us throughout our big day and do whatever she could for us! Catherine had me fill out a form the week before the wedding with all the details of what I expected on the big day, and provided me with photo ideas. She called me the week of the wedding the review my expectations with me to ensure she understood exactly what I wanted for our photos! This made me feel comfortable and helped ease the stress of the wedding week. When we received our sneak peaks, we couldn’t believe our eyes! Catherine made us look like a bride and groom from a magazine cover! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!

    It was an amazing experience having Catherine photograph our wedding, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!

    We couldn’t be any happier

    Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive from start to finish, flexible, funny and incredibly easy to work with. We knew that our wedding photos would be the one thing we could cherish forever and she made sure to get every moment. She went above and beyond in so many ways to make sure we were always happy, she is incredibly personalized with all her clients, she even sent us a Christmas card months before our wedding with a cute little note that got us feeling very excited for the wedding! It was such a pleasure working with Catherine from start to finish, in the months leading up she was incredibly helpful and offered guidance for any questions/concerns we expressed and during the wedding she was very organized, went around the location looking for the best shot locations and coming up with ideas of photos/poses we could take at different locations. We as a couple haven’t taken many professional photos together and weren’t exactly sure of the right poses/where to look/etc but she took full control and made us feel at ease, comfortable and helped us to know exactly what to do to get the best photographs. The photographs that she took truly capture the joy of our wedding day. We were so impressed with how quickly she got our “sneak peek” photos back to us and how she was able to capture so beautifully the natural scenery from our wedding and the love/joy we both felt that day. We highly recommend working with Catherine Plaisted Photography, she is amazing!

    Perfection!

    This lady gets ‘the shot.’ You know the one that you’ve dreamed about! She’s so kind and professional! Easy to communicate with and her response time is so fast (within a few hours when other vendors take days) I’ve booked her multiple times because she’s literally THAT GREAT!!! 10 out of 10!

    Great Experiencce

    My wife and I chose Catherine for our wedding. She has great prices, is friendly, and works hard to give you, not only the best experience, but the best pictures too. She effortlessly made us feel comfortable and asked for our opinion as well which I really liked. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone. She's great at what she does.

    everything you'd want in a Photographer!

    Catherine was so friendly and professional! She took my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary photos that i will treasure forever!

    Catherine Plaisted Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, Kaylyn! I am so happy that I was able to capture the love between your grandparents, and it’s no wonder why they’ve been together for 65 years!

    Absolutely phenomenal experience!

    If you want someone who is going to pour their heart and soul into making sure you’re happy by capturing every single detail, then Catherine is your girl! She did our engagement photos, wedding photos and maternity photos. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Every time I look at my wedding photos I feel like I’m reliving the entire day all over again, she didn’t miss a thing! She was the first person at the ceremony so she could start taking photos right away, and didn’t leave the reception until the last guests were gone. She then stayed up all night and finished all of our hundreds of wedding photos in LESS THAN 24 hours. If you are considering hiring Catherine, do it. You won’t get another photographer who is going to put the passion and dedication into their work the way she does. We can’t wait to hire her again to take any future photos we need!

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Marissa! It was an absolute blast working with you and Ty!
