A few words from some previous wedding clients . . .

It is very hard to put into words how grateful we are to you for taking such fantastic photos. We are absolutely over the moon!!!! …it was lovely to know that you had it all under control! I couldn’t imagine anyone better for the job. Gratefulness aside, you are an incredible talent. (F+S)

Catherine’s photography reflects her as a person from the inside out. She is warm, funny, beautiful and a consummate professional. Her photographs are the same. From start to finish Catherine put immense thought and care into photographing our wedding day and I can’t recommend her highly enough. On top of that, I barely knew she was there and yet I know she documented every moment of the day with precision and respect. (G+N)

Catherine you are an exceptionally talented photographer and an absolutely wonderful person! We are so delighted with our beautiful wedding photographs. You were friendly and professional yet we felt as if you were one of our guests who we had known for years. You made us feel so relaxed and it was a joy to share our special day with you. It was so important to us to have natural photographs that captured our small wedding with the love and happiness of our closest friends and parents and you have captured some very precious moments to cherish for a life time. Our wedding photographs go beyond what we expected and you have so much attention to detail. (N+D)

Catherine photographed our wedding in August 2018. Catherine was very friendly and professional from the initial contact via Instagram to the actual wedding day. Catherine went unnoticed but captured the most beautiful candid and natural photographs of us and of our guests, with a few ‘staged’ photos taken upon our request. I am so glad I booked Catherine over any other photographer as the documentary style of her portfolio is exactly what we were looking for. I recommend anyone book Catherine if they are looking for timeless wedding photos that are not ‘cheesy’ and the same as everyone else’s! (B+L)

You are an absolute superstar!! We truly love our pictures and can’t thank you enough for capturing our day in such wonderful detail. We’ve looked at the photos on the usb many times now and each time, we find new details or expressions... those small details that bring us so much joy! They reflect in such a perfect way the happiness, love and wonderfulness of the day. There are so many brilliant shots... too many to comment on individually. We’re so thankful that we found you to photograph our wedding! Not only are your photos perfect but as an individual you are just so lovely! You made us feel like we’d known you for ages. Thank you so so much once again. (H+L)

Honestly, Catherine, we could not have asked for anybody better to photograph our wedding. You made us feel so relaxed and I thought all the contact you had before with us was amazing. You were so professional yet I felt like you were our friend and we had known you forever. The day went so fast but you captured everything so perfectly. (M+L)

The newly formed Derry’s would like to thank you for your breathtaking photographs from our wedding. It is true what people say in that weddings go by so quickly and the moments you captured really help us relive it. With your attention to detail and flexibility to our unique family dynamics really made it easy for us to relax and enjoy our special day. If anyone ever needs a wedding photographer, we would say look no further. You had every little detail covered- including our beautiful memory stick. Absolutely worth every penny. (C+S)

Catherine was simply the most perfect choice for our wedding photography. It was so important to Alex and I to have someone we both felt comfortable with and someone we could trust to make it their own. Catherine was all this and more! She is kind, patient and her sense of humour is infectious. Her mere presence when I was getting ready made me relax in the morning of mayhem! On the day I don’t know how she did it...she seemed to be everywhere yet invisible! being able to capture moments we both weren’t aware of.
We were away on our honeymoon when Catherine told us the photos were ready, so we poured ourselves a glass of bubbles and relived our amazing day. Catherine captured natural moments with perfection. And now, a few months on, every time we glance at her photos we smile to ourselves and think...oh it was a magical day. Thank you so much Catherine. (L+A)

When we met Catherine we knew she was the right photographer for us! She was so relaxed, full of ideas and knew exactly the type of photographs we wanted. On the day itself Catherine was amazing. She worked tirelessly and went above and beyond to capture every moment. Nothing was ever too much trouble and it was very re-assuring to have Catherine around. Then we received our beautifully presented pictures....and they were perfect. We sat and relieved every single moment trying to understand how one person can be everywhere and capture so many great memories that we will treasure forever. We loved all of the pictures, thank you. (S+R)

Catherine did an amazing job photographing our wedding … we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome, she managed to get great photos of almost everyone at the wedding and didn't miss a moment. Catherine put everyone at ease through the day, was easy to plan with and her turnaround of photographs after the event was very impressive. (N+A)

Catherine... M and I have just looked at our wedding photographs and there wasn't one that didn't make us gasp and smile. They are phenomenal! So, so delighted with them. A million thank you's still wouldn't be enough. You're one very talented lady and we were very lucky to have you as our wedding photographer. The photos are all fabulous!! Really perfect captures of our day. A million thank yous! (C+M)
