    Such a visionary artist and kind soul.

    Catherine helped me through the happiest most nerve wracking emotional rollercoaster of a wedding. She supported me when I was stressed, reassured me and got the BEST photos of me and my husband. She was worth every single penny and we cherish our stunning photos with all of our hearts. She is an investment you'll be so glad you made!

    Very professional, adaptive and has great work!

    I hired Catherine mere days before a last minute elopement style wedding. She rolled with it and was so adaptive to our loose plans, I was surprised how easily her professionalism kicked in. She just instinctively knew what to do, which is what my friend who referred her said she would be like. She was the photographer at their wedding as well! Our photos turned out so great and we were comfortable and at ease the whole time! We highly recommend her to anyone with any level of planning involved in their wedding. She knows how to handle any situation! Thanks Catherine!!

    A very dedicated professional who cares a lot,

    Catherine is a very dedicated professional who cares a lot about what she does and it shows in her work. She guided us and our bridal party and family in portraits in a way that was comfortable and made for some great portraits. We are very happy with her service and our photos. Highly recommend her, she was more than worth every penny!

    She was great!

    The photographer was our personal most important vendor and we couldn't be more pleased with our photos! Catherine really came through with gorgeous photos of our wedding. We will be recommending to all of our family and friends!

    A pleasure to work with, the very best choice!

    Catherine was just amazing on our wedding day, she was supportive and had such a bubbly personality, the photos turned out WONDERFUL! We viewed the final gallery with our family and everyone was blown away, I got so emotional. She was the very best choice and our favorite vendor! Thank you so much!!

    Catherine was a true professional on our wedding day and before..

    Catherine was a true professional on our wedding day and before. We could tell she really listened to our concerns and worked so well directing us, our family and wedding party and got some seriously impressive shots! I can't recommend her enough and she has already secured the wedding dates of one of my bridesmaids who also fell in love with her and her work! Thank you so much!

    Very skilled and attentive

    She captured every single detail and moment, even ones we didn't notice! She gave us SOOOOOOO many photos and we were thrilled to be able to relive our day from so many angles and through so many perspectives! Catherine is the best!

    Warm, friendly and unbelievably talented.

    Catherine shot our wedding 2 months ago and was so sweet and accommodating to all the Covid stuff. We had to reschedule and were afraid we would lose our deposit but she assured us that she completely understood and would never do that which was nice considering we lost a lot of other non refundable deposits and payments to other vendors. She was always checking in with us and was very reassuring. When it came time to shoot the wedding she did such a great job, was constantly snapping every moment, I don't think I saw her sit down except to eat (super fast.) You can tell she cares a lot about what she does and our photos turned out phenomenally. Thank you Catherine, you went above and beyond!

    Reassuring and safe

    I hired Catherine to photograph my sister's Elopement and I am at a loss for words, she is beyond amazing, she's so sweet and talented. The photos came out just stunning. Everyone was blown away with just how many tender moments, creative angles and tiny details she captured. My sister cried and I think my brother in law might have too! She's a true artist, we will be using her for all of life's big events in the future, thanks so much Cat!!!!!

    A delight to work with!!

    We just got our photos back and me, my husband and all of our friends and family are BLOWN AWAY! She did a great job of capturing all the special moments and was so warm and friendly. I don't think I saw that girl sit down one time during our event!! We are using her for all future photography needs, she's a SUPERSTAR!

    We wouldn't want anyone else there documenting our day

    Catherine was awesome! We are still on cloud nine after booking her yesterday for our next June wedding. I know it's pretty early to write a review but I just wanted to leave some quick words about our experience working with her so far because she has already been stellar! Catherine was super responsive, was willing to find a place to meet as close to us as possible for our convenience, she was super friendly and thorough with our meeting, answered all of our questions and gave us a lot of great planning advice which we weren't expecting but were pleasantly surprised by. She helped us come up with a tentative timeline to base our package off of and was very honest and upfront, we were looking at the 10 hour package but based on our timeline for the day she told us that based on past weddings at least one hour may be too much time. I was surprised as past vendors had tried to upsell us on packages. She was able to book us for 9 hours and leave the option open to add on an additional hour if we felt we needed the day of, talk about flexible! All in all we had a wonderful experience, loved her work and personality and were super impressed with how willing to work with our needs she was. Thank you Catherine for being so great, we wouldn't want anyone else there documenting our day!

    Talented, funny & so great to work with!

    We Eloped a couple weeks ago and Catherine was so wonderful, she sent us sneak peeks already and they were fantastic. She paid such close attention to detail and she was focused and in photo-taking-mode the entire time. We had 3 hours of coverage and she filled it will fun and silliness as well as an abundance of creative poses. We are so pleased to have hired her for our intimate ceremony, she rocks!

    I just knew from the moment I stumbled on your website that you would kill this. I cannot thank you enough!

    Ah! Catherine! I seriously at a loss for words. These are just simply beyond amazing. Everything I could I ever hoped for and more! Your attention to the small things really helped me relive that day as it was such a blur to me! I laughed out loud so many times remembers certain moments and also saw so many things that I missed - this is great. You were SOOO good to us! I hope you don't think this is last you'll hear from us because you definitely will in the future! :) Thank you so much for honestly just being you! You were so down-to-earth, made us feel really comfortable in front of a camera (which is NOT an easy task), and I just knew from the moment I stumbled on your website that you would kill this. I cannot thank you enough!

    Such a fun and creative photographer!

    We used Catherine for our wedding two weeks ago, we just got our sneak peeks back and they are BREATHTAKING. She made us all feel so comfortable and was super active the entire time, we obviously spent most of the wedding enjoying each other and the moment but whenever I looked around to find her Catherine was either doing candid shots in the background, interacting with guests and finding creative angles etc. I think I saw her and her assistant sit down once and just long enough to eat super quick. We were so so happy with how hard she worked and the photos we have seen already, can't wait to see them all!

    She did a killer job and was so down to earth!

    Our wedding was a couple years ago and I was just looking at my photos again and realized I hadn't written a review for Catherine yet. These pictures still just amaze me. She has some seriously impressive people skills and posed us perfectly. She was able to capture some really great candid moments during portraits and made us laugh our butts off. I have since recommended her to a handful of friends and family and was thrilled to see her at a close friend's wedding as her photographer! They loved their photos as well! You're going to love her!

    Professional, supportive and incredibly talented

    Our wedding was comprised of a variety of outspoken characters you could say and some of the mothers and grandparents had different visions for the photography and weren't shy to make their opinions known. I tried to pull them back in a bit so as to not overwhelm any vendors but Catherine handled it all with grace and seriously impressed even some of the pickiest of family members. Thank you so much for your patience and attention to detail, we can't wait to get our pictures back! Thanks for making our day such a dream and taking the worry out of the photos!

    She calmed my nerves and did a wonderful job!

    I am a worrier in general so naturally I had a few concerns regarding my wedding and how the photos would come out (specifically about the extremely low light in our venue) but Catherine was able to reassure me and sure enough when I got my gallery it was PERFECT!! Thank you Catherine for addressing each of concerns and doing a stellar job, we are so happy with our photographs!

    GREAT investment!!

    Thank you for sending us the link to give you a review, I may have overlooked doing it. We are beyond trilled with the care you put into capturing our day and you had everyone busting up laughing during our photos. We had a viewing party right after we got our pictures and it was such a blast. I'd recommend these two for anyone looking for a caring and skilled photographer.
