    Best Wedding Planning Decision!!

    I hired Catherine as my wedding photographer. I spent many months researching photographers, it was one of my top priorities for my wedding. I had a long list of things I was looking for in a photographer and Catherine checked every box.

    When I inquired she sent over several full albums which was so helpful in getting to see all of the images she delivers. During the planning process she was super responsive and professional.

    We did an engagement session with her and it was a great experience. She gives great direction during the shoot and makes you feel really comfortable. The images were gorgeous!

    On our wedding day we couldn't have been happier we chose her as our photographer. She has such a sweet and easygoing personality and she's so upbeat, encouraging, and genuinely happy for you. We enjoyed spending the day with her as she captured so many beautiful pictures.

    She delivered an amazing sneak peek the Monday after our wedding. She surprised us by sending a beautiful linen box with printed pictures of the sneak peek. It was so thoughtful! She delivered the full gallery quickly. We LOVE all of the pictures she captured. There's so many editing styles now, but Catherine's editing style is so timeless, beautiful, and true to life! The gallery she delivered had great variety.

    We were so happy with Catherine! Hire her for your wedding, it'll be one of the best wedding decisions you make!!

    Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful. Catherine handles wedding day chaos with grace and execution.

    Words cannot begin to describe how incredible Catherine Rhodes is as a photographer and now friend. Catherine was the wedding photographer for my sister and many of our friends. After seeing her work & creativity in action, we without a doubt knew we wanted her to be the photographer to capture our special day. Catherine handles wedding day chaos with grace and execution. We had A LOT of photo groupings we wanted captured between our ceremony & reception, a nearly impossible task especially with the early setting sun. Catherine got them ALL!! And she did it in such an organized fashion, utilizing our wedding helpers and her assistants to quickly move each party on to the next captured moment. No stress or hurry was felt. Aside from the structured family & wedding party photos, she prioritized candid moments throughout the whole day. We cannot wait to see the entire gallery, as the sneak peeks have already brought us to tears. Catherine captured every emotion & feeling that was experienced during the best day of our lives.

    But WAIT THERE'S MORE. Catherine did our engagement session and a private bridal session for me. She made both of these sessions so fun and comfortable. My husband & I are not the most "modely" or "posing" type of people, and I joked with Catherine that she would have to keep an eye out for our commonly occurring double chin grins, big mouthed laughter, and my crazy curly hair that has a mind of it's own, ha!! Catherine miraculously photographed incredible pictures, that were genuine, natural, and SOMEHOW made our cheesing double chinned grins and wind-blown hair look beautifully "us."

    I adore Catherine. Her love and passion for photography and her business is evident. Her love and thoughtfulness towards her clients is so so felt and appreciated. Her genuine character is one to be admired. 10/10 would recommend Catherine as a photographer for all of your special days, moments, and timeless family photos. LOVE!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I cannot say enough amazing things about Catherine! She is incredibly talented, genuine and professional. She truly took the time to get to know me and my husband and that meant so much to us. Through getting to know us, she was able to beautifully bring our vision to life. We were both a little nervous for the engagement session, but she made us feel so comfortable. She made the experience fun and easy, while still incorporating our ideas and capturing our essence as a couple. They turned out beautifully – soft, romantic and happy. Leading up to the wedding, Catherine stayed in touch and walked us through every step. She was so helpful in creating the day of timeline, and I am forever grateful for the time she built in for the “special” moments – first look with my Dad, getting ready with my mom and bridesmaids, reading letters from each other, etc. Her advice made for a very smooth and easy day, and it was everything we dreamed of. A couple weeks before the wedding, she even sent a sweet care package! How amazing is she?! Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and she did a great job capturing all of our moments. She was super flexible with the weather and got creative with some amazing locations to take our pictures. Our photos (sneak peak, blog post, and final gallery) were all delivered right on time, and they blew us away. We have had a blast looking back and reminiscing about our special day. Catherine is simply wonderful, and I am elated that we chose her as our wedding photographer! I HIGHLY recommend Catherine with Catherine Rhodes Photography!

    Catherine is one of the kindest, sweetest people I have ever met. Pair that with her insane talent and eye for details, and it’s no wonder she is so often referred in this industry. You could tell every step of the way she went above and beyond. So incredibly responsive to emails and texts from a stressed-out bride, and with this quality that puts everyone around her at ease. I can’t recommend Catherine enough. She captured images that we’re going to cherish the rest of our lives. Thank you, Catherine & team!

    WOW. It's hard to even find a place to start because our experience with Catherine was just so wonderful.
    Her calming presence and positivity is EVERYTHING for an anxious bride. Her planning from the very first meeting to the engagement session to the actual day of the wedding helped keep us calm and excited the entire time. Plus - her experience helps anyone uncomfortable in front of the camera feeling like a supermodel. The photos that come from each session are just as beautiful as you hope and imagine. She is without a doubt the best person to have alongside you and your wedding party to deliver life-long memories.

    Wow, I am so thankful to have had Catherine photograph our wedding day — I can’t imagine anyone else capturing our day more beautifully. My husband and I both absolutely love our photos!! After a wonderful day that flew by, we’re so glad that we have photographs of all the special moments to keep :) Neither of us love taking photos, but Catherine was the perfect person to have around — it just felt like a friend was photographing us. Looking back on all of the special moments she captured, I hadn’t even realized she was there most of the time! Thank you Catherine for the beautiful photos that will last a lifetime.

    You can't find a better photographer than Catherine!! She is obviously a huge talent, but also so easy to work and communicate with! She helped me on my wedding day with things that weren't even her job which really shows what kind of person she is. My family can be a bit loud and chaotic, but she kept everyone calm and organized.. and made it fun! You'd think taking photos is awkward but she creates an atmosphere that is natural, romantic, and exciting.

    Catherine was the perfect photographer to capture all the special moments from our wedding day! From day one we were impressed with her professionalism and bubbly personality. She clearly loves what she does and it is reflected in her mannerisms and photos! From our engagement pictures to the wedding day we felt so comfortable with her- she knows how to make couples feel at ease and lights up the room she is in! Leading up to the wedding she was always available for questions and easy to work with in coordinating a wedding day schedule. We received our entire album quickly and enjoyed the sneak peeks along the way! All of the pictures are absolutely beautiful and truly capture who we are as a couple. We are so happy Catherine was our photographer and look forward to using her again in the future!

    Aside from her flawless skills in photography, Catherine showed a true level of professionalism that was unmatched by any other photographer we had previously encountered. She made us and everyone that was a part of the wedding feel comfortable and natural. Never sacrificing detail, she worked diligently in weeks leading up to the wedding on our timeline , making sure she and her wonderful assistants were present to capture every moment. In the realm of wedding photography, there's Catherine Rhodes on top and then there's everyone else.

    Catherine Rhodes Photography is the premier pick for both engagement and wedding photography! My husband and I got to know Catherine through our engagement session and she is such a joy to work with! She perfectly captures your personality and makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. We were honored to have her capture our wedding day as well. She traveled with us to Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, Missouri and weathered the cold and rain with a constant smile! She and her second photographer, Trischa, worked with our families and wedding party so well and they perfectly captured our day! The photos are absolutely stunning!!! We could not be happier with the end products! She is so extremely talented! I give her my highest recommendation and will definitely be referring family and friends to her!

    We hired Catherine to photograph our Maine camp wedding, and chose a package that also included an option for engagement photos, which she came to Boston to shoot. We can't say enough wonderful things about Catherine and her work, our engagement and wedding pictures are STUNNING!!!!! We were very particular about hiring a photographer, and we couldn't find anyone whose pictures compared to Catherine's. She was also incredibly reasonable financially, especially taking into consideration that she flew to Boston AND Maine from Missouri. She did beautiful blog posts of both our engagement session and wedding, and the turnaround time to get our photos was very quick. Payment and high res photo downloads were also super easy, she clearly uses all the latest technology to make everything as smooth and simple as possible. Highly, highly recommended. Thank you for everything Catherine!!!

    Working with Catherine was perfect. From first correspondence to receiving our photos after the wedding - everything was prompt, smooth, no stress, and the pictures are AMAZING. Catherine was a joy to work with. We were under a lot of stress planning our big day by ourselves, but we were able to count on Catherine to make sure we didn’t miss any special moments. Catherine made us feel comfortable and was excellent at giving prompts to make sure that everyone looked their best for the pictures. We feel so lucky that we found Catherine to capture our wedding! We could not be happier with our photos :)

    Catherine made the stress of finding a wedding photographer non existent. I had seen her work from other friends of mine and knew from the get go we had to have her. Catherine was able to listen to what we wanted and made my now husband so comfortable. This is a man who can't take a serious picture to save his life and the pictures turned out amazing. We plan on hiring her again for our future family sessions and I have already recommended her to several friends who are all thrilled with their photos.

    Catherine is truly an amazing photographer! On our wedding day, even though we were filled with excitement and nerves, we had absolutely NO worries about our photography. She made us feel incredibly comfortable in our own skin, and she captured our relationship in every photo. We couldn’t be more grateful to have worked with Catherine and her talented team!

    Catherine was amazing and the photos were beautiful! Compared to a lot of the other photographers I looked at she was reasonably priced in that it included an engagement session, photo albums, a decent amount of time, and what not. At other places this was all al la carte and pricy. She was great to work with and very encouraging. My non-photogenic husband who hates taking photos really enjoyed working with her too--which is saying something! I would recommend her to anyone!

    Catherine was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and we felt comfortable the day of. Throughout our wedding night you didn't even feel like you were being photographed. Also during the reception she had a laptop so everyone could see a sneak peak of some of the photos she had taken. Easy to work with and Photos were excellent !!!

    Catherine and her assistant did a wonderful job capturing all of our special moments. Although she is young, she is very professional, creative, and very fun to work with. I have not received prints yet, but from what I have seen online, I am very pleased with the pictures. If we have another special event, I will use her again!
