I
welcome
I know you love the subtleties; those brief touches or quick glances across the room from him. Maybe that’s how your story began, yours and his, in those moments that will weave their way through every second of your wedding day.
On that day, everything will change. You’ll walk towards him gracefully, gently touching his elbow and he’ll pull you in like he always does. That pause, that beautiful moment just before he embraces you, tells a story. The look on your face holds your history together. In that moment, history is happening, and I don’t want you to forget it.
As he pulls you in to kiss your cheek, another miracle is happening. The imperfections of two people fade away and all that is left is the purity of love.
On that day, you will stand before your dearest friends and promise to choose each other, forever. There will be a million divine moments of laughter that day, brief moments that will fade away as quickly as they came. As you are living them, I will keep them, tucked away behind a lens that is looking at your story through legacy.
You were meant to be with him, and history will be marked by those moments. I want to hold each one for you because one day, you’ll walk down the halls of the home you raised your children in. You’ll pass the hallway decorated with your story, with the subtle moments of that day that changed everything.
Each image is an invitation to relive the feelings of being his bride and you’ll take it. You’ll feel the way you did, and you’ll be able to tell your grandchildren your story of being his wife that began on that day. They will have watched you live your love story their entire lives and they’ll beg you to tell them the story again. And you will because you can still remember the feeling of touching his elbow, and the feeling of him pulling you in close, and the pause just before he whispered,
“I completely and utterly adore you.”

the why
Great imagery begins with a great experience. In my past fifteen years as a wedding photographer, I have come to realize that it’s that the
moments that are gone instantaneously that are the most important, and they are rarely planned out.
The experience I bring allows me to anticipate these moments, and be ready to
artfully document them. I want my clients to walk away with imagery that reminds them of what it felt like to be in that very moment, uninterrupted, living life to the fullest.
How do we even begin to express our appreciation for Catie?! There is absolutely no other photographer that we would have chosen to photograph our wedding.
Not only is she the sweetest human being ever, but she is also SO talented. Our pictures turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined. She is always so professional and kind. On your wedding day, your photographer is basically by your side all day, and Catie was such an absolute joy to be around! All of our guests love her too. We still hear from them that our photographer was amazing and sweet and we couldn't agree more! We would recommend her to absolutely anyone and everyone. Picking Catie to be your photographer will be the best wedding planning decision that you make, I promise!
Not only is she extremely talented, creative, and professional, but she is thoughtful, funny, patient, and brings out the best in you for your photos.
From the moment we met Catie we knew…she would be a forever friend! Not only is she extremely talented, creative, and professional, but she is thoughtful, funny, patient, and brings out the best in you for your photos. Her attention to detail and passion for photography is something that we noticed right away and is evident in all of her photos. Catie made each moment a memorable one, which we are so grateful for, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to capture our engagement and wedding. Truth be told, she was kind enough to act as our witness for our wedding at City Hall (have to take care of paperwork before a destination wedding). Now, because of her sweet gesture, she will always have a special place in our hearts.
she ensured that the experience was not sacrificed for the picture.
Catie is hands down one of the most talented, respectful, passionate and professional people that I have encountered. She gets to know you and quickly understands what is important to you and your family. I was so incredibly grateful for her insight and calm in the face of the craziness of wedding planning and the excitement of the big day. I had countless family and friends tell me how impressed they were with her natural ability to coordinate people and ensure that the experience was not sacrificed for the picture. The photographs were outstanding and perfect in every way thanks to her. I cannot thank her enough.

about catie
My heart lives for coffee shops and long conversations. My obsession for coffee and all things baking run deep in my soul. I am convinced there isn’t anything one of my Granny’s donuts can’t cure. My grandparents live a legacy of love being married for over 67 years, and to this day I believe in forever love because I’ve watched them live it.
My joy and passion come from giving to people. I love those quiet moments with friends or loud ones when you are surrounded by the people you love most. I love wandering in the wilderness and soaking up the peacefulness I find in the mountains, just as much as getting lost in a great book. I love that imagination and love can take you to far off places and the sweetest friends can be your companion along the way.
