I’m so honored that you want me to document your story! Please fill out the application below, and I’ll reply as soon as I possibly can!!
After you submit your inquiry form, I will email you back as soon as possible to further discuss and plan your session. After all the details are planned, I will send you a proposal that contains a contract & invoice to get you officially booked! For sessions, I require a non-refundable 50% of your total to be paid upfront in order to secure your booking with the option to reschedule if needed. After we complete your session, you will later receive a link to your online gallery that includes all of the edited photos. After your 2nd full priced session with me, you will receive a 15% discount on full priced sessions, and previous wedding clients get 15% off full priced sessions!
I'm located near Spartanburg, SC and frequently travel all over the Carolinas capturing weddings and sessions! For local sessions, I have a 50 mile included radius- every mile above #50 adds a $1 travel fee. For local weddings, I have an 80 mile included radius- every mile above #80 adds a $1 travel fee, plus there is a $150 hotel fee if the location is more than 2.5 hours away from me. For non-local or destination weddings, I would LOVE to travel to capture your special day, just reach out to me and we will make it work!
Trust me, almost everyone says this, and it's NOT true!! I always say that if you actually like each other, you'll be absolutely fine, because you'll really just be interacting the whole time! I prompt you into poses that feel natural and allow you to be your true selves. I keep it fun and conversational to create an environment of authenticity.
Sessions are delivered in around 3 weeks, and weddings are delivered in around 10-12 weeks! You will receive wedding day previews around 48 hours after your wedding day, usually including 100+ of the best highlight images from the day!
There is absolutely never a limit on how many photos you will receive. I do not believe in returning a set number of photos to you, I edit and deliver all of the best ones! I also don't include a lot of repeat photos that look almost identical to one another, I intentionally select every image to be different than the one before it.
Sessions usually see around 100-150 photos returned, and weddings usually see around 50-100 photos per hour returned, but again, there is no limit.
Yes, payment plans are automatically built into every proposal for both sessions and weddings! Session payments are automatically split in half, with the first half being a retainer to book the session and the second half due the day of the session. Wedding payments are usually split into thirds, with the first payment being a retainer to book the wedding, the second payment due halfway in between the booking date and date of service, and then the third payment due a week before the date of service. However, wedding packages may be split up more if needed, reach out to me and we can further discuss your needs!
Magazine-quality shots! Catherine has a calming energy amidst the chaos of a wedding day, and we loved working with her. Works quickly - we even made it to our cocktail hour! Got a ton of previews in 2 days. Thank you, Catherine, for giving us memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
Catherine is beyond amazing! She is so patient and sweet with our boys everytime we book her for photos. We have used her for maternity, our twins new born, 6 months, 1-3 year birthdays and have loved every single picture! The fact she can get pictures of our twin toddlers is magical. 100% recommend!
After messaging Catherine and seeing how friendly and willing she was to work with me in a short timeframe, I knew that she would be our photographer! Every photo she took was perfect and she made sure to get every detail, even the ones I wasn’t thinking of! Catherine comes across as a very genuine human, with a talent for what she does. Looking at the photos, it’s like “Wow! Is that really me?” And she even managed to get pictures of my savage two year old!
