Testimonials
‘Catherine made us feel so calm and comfortable when we were very much out of our comfort zone, she captured the most unique details of our day in a beautiful and creative manner that closely reflected us as a couple in so many ways, and for that we are so grateful. The attention to detail, personal approach and delivery was absolutely first class. Nothing was ever too much trouble, even putting me into my wedding dress as time escaped us in the morning.
We think it is also important to mention Catherine’s extraordinary level of customer service, and professionalism from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and she always went above and beyond to deliver.
We couldn’t have asked for more from Catherine so once again, thank you. You are incredible.’
Connor and Olivia (Hawkstone Hall)
Catherine exceeded our expectations in more ways that we could ever have hoped for! Not only was she a delight to work with , she was so professional, kind, fun and made us feel so incredibly special on our wedding day.
She has a beautiful vision and an innate talent to capture special moments. We had some specific Photos in mind, but she offered additional location options for photos that we would have never known had she not shared with us. She managed to capture pure happiness, filled with love! The photos were breathtakingly beautiful!
Frazer and Chelsea (La Badia Italy)
‘Catherine is so thoughtful, kind, easy-going and very hard working. We saw many different photographers, before choosing Catherine but at the end it was her natural, romantic and beautiful photos, that stood out for us. She provided us with an amazing and emotional slideshow filled with photo snippets from our day after just a few weeks which we loved.’
It’s not only her work that we love, but Catherine is such a fun and lovely person. Her knowledge of the industry and bubbly personality makes everyone around her comfortable and happy. She was willing to do anything to make us happy, including hanging off the back of the boat to get those amazing photos, when she hates water! Together with her professionalism, her attention to detail and her outstanding creative vision, you will never be disappointed, there’s nothing to not LOVE about her!
James & Georgina (Lake Como)
“We are so incredibly happy that we found Catherine.
If you want a Personal, Friendly and Creative photographer I honestly don’t know why you would look anywhere else, not only are her photographs amazing but Catherine made the entire experience so much fun and completely effortless.
All our guests commented on how incredible Catherine was, from her organisation and knowledgeable insights on the day, to capturing sensational moments with the use of natural light.
The biggest compliment we could pay her is that she became part of our special day….. everybody absolutely loved her.”
Randall & Carlie (Claridges)
“We have so many amazing people to thank who helped make our wedding day perfect and magical, one of those very important individuals was Cat. A HUGE thank you to our super talented Wedding Photographer. Cat and I have worked together many times and I had no doubt in my mind that she would capture our day perfectly and she absolutely has.
Cat is a very warm, fun, friendly and kind person and she has the ability to make you feel very comfortable which is exactly what you need from a photographer to create amazing natural photos. Her unique style had a wonderful calming effect leaving both myself, Jon and our guests feeling comfortable and relaxed which is a special gift.
She is amazingly talented at capturing key moments and the outcome always looks stunning without looking posed which is what I love the most.
Thanks to you the overwhelming happiness, love and joy of our day will stay with us and all our friends and family forever.
We are thrilled with our photos, such perfect memories of our day, thankyou”
Jon and Sarah (The Holford Estate)
“It was such an honour having you as our wedding photographer. We’ve viewed our wedding gallery hundreds and hundreds of times!! Thank you Catherine for sharing your talent with us and for being so kind, fun and empathetic not only with us, but with our guests too. You gave us our dream wedding photographs and we cannot wait to order the album and prints from you. Thank you SO SO much Catherine!!”
Rishi & Minali (The Arts Club)
“Having worked with Catherine on previous work photoshoots mean’t we had an amazing and comfortable relationship already in place. That said I meet many Photographers in my job, and a good photographer is extremely important for wedding photos and the level of kindness, professionalism, comfort and attentiveness was constant throughout the day. Catherine was able to beautifully capture every detail and each moment throughout, whilst always maintaining her ability to be discreet. The biggest blessing was to actually have her be part of the day. Catherine is genuine, empathetic, relaxed yet directive, efficient while still being fun, artistic, creative and a hugely gifted individual. Catherine has given my husband and I a gift that we will treasure forever. I cannot sing her praises enough.”
Mark and Paula (Rudding Park)
