The Experience
Although photography is of the utmost importance to me, what I care about the most is the real life experiences of my clients. After having photographed approximately 400 weddings, what I have come to value more than a collection of posed images (don't worry...we will have some of those, too!) is a collection of images that represent a day full of joy, real moments and good memories.
In the past decade, I've realized that it's not uncommon for one half of the couple to be so excited about photography and the other more into the experience of the day ...my goal is to make you both happy. I am that in between mix of traditional and modern, flexible and assertive, posed and unposed.
Photography Centered Around Authentic Experiences
My promise is that I am constantly striving to create a photographic experience unique to who you are and photographed in a way that makes you feel the most comfortable.
I will guide you through the process. I do not expect you to be a model; however, I promise to make you look like one! :) My goal is for the photos to represent exactly who you are so that when you see the images you feel like yourselves in them. Let me absorb all the nerves and uncertainty that can sometimes come along with being photographed and create a collection of images that tell the story of you!

Our wedding planner initially referred Catherine to us. After seeing her simply amazing work, I immediately KNEW that I wanted to use her for our wedding. That was solidified after speaking with her over the phone and then of course meeting her the day of our event! We had an usually large wedding party and we love that she made everyone feel important!... We are so grateful for her work and I would highly recommend her over and over again.

Hiring Catherine to be our wedding photographer was definitely one of the best decisions we made in the entire wedding planning process... Taking photos/having photos taken of you can be uncomfortable, but she controlled a huge group of wedding party and family effortlessly, and the photos turned out spectacular. She is extremely talented and has the best personality to match.
- Patrick + Leo
She was amazing from the first intro meeting all the way through the end.

I have received countless compliments on all of the photos and I cannot thank her enough for capturing our lives in such a beautiful way.
