hey, I'm catherine

I'm a wedding & elopement photographer who loves her job through-and-through

My story really began the moment I finally said no. No to the desk job that didn't feed my soul.

My husband and I moved to Colorado on a whim 7 years ago and I knew it was the perfect chance for me to pivot into a career that ignited joy. I started investing in my 'photo hobby' and was full-time by the end of the year. I've owned and operated my business  ever since. I've now shot over 200 weddings & elopements. I also offer a team of associate photographers (who are absolutely amazing). Weddings are my bread and butter, but a new found love of mine is studio photography. My husband built a tiny house in our backyard that is now used primarily for boudoir for my brides. 

i get by with a little help from my fam... 

My heart is kept full on a daily basis with the support of my husband, Johnny, son, Harrison, and snuggles from our main coon (Mo Mo) &  golden retriever (Maple). I am so thankful for this life, and feel humbled with the opportunity to wake up and serve so many amazing couples on one of the best days of their lives. 

My style in one word would be authentic, and my approach is photo-journalistic.

 I strive to tell the story of your wedding through events as they occur naturally. It's obvious when a moment is contrived and that is what I've worked hard to avoid.
In short, creating is what I was made for. Capturing and telling your love story through the lens of my camera is where I hold my passion. When it comes to meeting new couples, I am the photographer that really wants to get to know you, see pictures of your dog, and capture your wedding day beyond your hopes and expectations.

I became engaged shortly after I opened my photography business. The experience of being a bride helped shape me into the photographer I am today. My photographer was incredible, and helped me so much on the day of my wedding to feel relaxed and well taken care of. She not only delivered a beautiful gallery, but an amazing experience along the way.

And now i want to do the same for you.

My husband, Johnny, and I the day after our wedding in mexico

This is my husband Johnny. Our love story is both typical (met at a bar) and unique. I fell in love with him the first night I met him.  We forgot we arrived with our friends and spent the entire night talking to each other about our past struggles and future dreams. We share an energy that is hard to explain. He is the reason I had the courage to change my career and the never ending support to continue through all the hardships. 

My Baby,
Harrison

I can't share about me without sharing about my son, harrison.

Born in March 2021, he is the light of my life and has given me a reason bigger than myself to work hard and make the most of every single day.

providing for him is my why.

Photography is about light, composition, and most importantly, emotion.
