behind the lens
meet catherine
Hopeless romantic, lover of light, travel, and getting to love and serve precious brides, grooms, and their families on one of their most special days.
There is so much I could tell you about myself (I’m an ENFP and an enneagram type 2 so talking to people is kinda my jam), but mostly I just want to tell you that I’m SO glad you’re here, in my little corner of the interwebs.
Keep scrollin’ to get to know more about me, and to hear what past clients have to say about their experience with me. I love getting to hear past CMP couples say that they felt like we were friends long before their wedding day, so nothing was more natural and effortless than having me by their side on the biggest day of their lives.
I want that same experience for you too! Read on to learn about me, to hear from past brides and grooms, and to get a look behind the scenes of real life wedding days.
I'm Catherine

MY WHY
Does this sound like you? Inquire with me,
I believe in the importance of beautiful, timeless photographs.
I don't share my story often.
I don't often share about how my youngest sister passed away when I was 13. How my passion for doing fun “photoshoots” with my sister ended up giving us the photos we used at her funeral service. How the only professional photos we got as a family of eight were gifted to us by a local photographer, and how those photos are one of the few things I cherish most even today. How that forever burned into my soul the immense weight that photos carry.
I am such a firm believer in timeless, beautiful photos - in photos that last.
Because our family Christmas photos from 2009 are one of the things I treasure the most in this world.
Because love and family are sacred, wedding days are over in a blink, and time moves far too fast.
Because we each know the feeling of cherishing a special photo when that photograph is all we have left.
Because when you are old and gray, dancing in your kitchen, and for the hundredth time your grandkids are asking you to tell the story of your wedding portrait hanging on the wall next to the table, you'll never ever ever regret investing the time and money into preserving your togetherness forever in photographs that will still look as beautiful and timeless as they did the day you said "I do."
I promise.
