Acevedo Weddings

s. We researched many but didn't see any that met our standards. Certain elements, such as color, poses, lighting, and style, were essential to us. After we looked at Catherine's website, we knew she was the one! We loved how dreamy her photos were! It was important for Catherine to get to know us before agreeing to photograph our wedding. Having the right vibes was essential to us and a priority for her. Thank God she said yes! Catherine helped us create something for our engagement shoot that spoke to us as a couple. Our shoot was so pleasant and comfortable. It was like being shot by a longtime friend who was just as happy that you had found the love of your life. She made it easy as we played music to help set the mood for our shoot. Any issues with being self-conscious quickly left us. She made us feel beautiful and confident. She guided us with our posing, ensuring that we could pose in the most flattering way. She knows the "money shots." She helped us bring forth our best selves during our shoot. We were delighted with our photos. The icing on top of the cake was her turnaround time. She completed editing our photos in less than a week! We knew she would take a little time, but we weren't expecting them that soon. Catherine and her colleague arrived early on our wedding day and went to work. They split into two, individually capturing our moments as we got ready. Our wedding was at Phipps Conservatory, and Catherine helped us create one of the best images of the night. One of our favorite moments was of them working together to create the most breathtaking photo of the night with us in the Tropical Forest. Catherine and her partner made us feel like celebrities, posing and ensuring our lighting was perfect! We couldn't have asked for a better duo. Our photos look like pages in a magazine! We had forgotten about some moments, but they captured everything from our invitations to our dresses to the candid moments between our bridal party and us. Everyone loved our photos! In addition, as a married woman having already gone through this experience, she brings a certain level of expertise that helped us get past our nerves and emotions. Catherine did an impeccable job! She, hands down, is the best photographer in Pittsburgh. Her work is top-tier, and her passion is evident. We highly recommend her a thousand times! An amazing person, artist, and photographer!

res some of our favorite moments of the day. Once you book Catherine, she wants to get to know you and your partner to help make the experience amazing and professional from start to finish. She is also extremely responsive if you have any questions. I could not recommend Catherine or her team more!

ne. Our engagement photos were the first time either of us had been professionally photographed, and Catherine helped put us at ease so quickly. She also took the time to scout out great shots at both our engagement shoot and wedding locations so everything went smoothly and efficiently. Also, I have to mention that we had our dog in our photos, and she worked so well with the chaos that a husky who doesn’t want to sit still will bring into a situation. Overall, just a fantastic experience and a great person to work with!!

in the gorgeous photographs that we will cherish forever!

ays for our wedding. The day of the wedding she and her second shooter Tara did a great job of presenting us with prompts for great photos and we can’t wait to see all of them. Catherine has been wonderful at communicating with us. She is extremely organized and trustworthy. We had such a great experience with her and we hope to work with her for other life event photos in the future. If you have the opportunity to book Acevedo Weddings as your photographer, do it!!

have amazing photos and videos to remember our special day with.

was completely amazing. This helped us stay on time to make sure we were able to do everything we wanted on our special day. The entire wedding party was so impressed by the level of organization she provided. She was so enjoyable to hang out with all day and her associate Tara was wonderful as well! Our pictures were perfection – she did an incredible job! It was amazing how she made pictures a few feet from a road look like we were in the middle of the woods. She takes pride in her work and it shows. She even was willing to get on a zoom call to go over album options. We received our album about 1 week after sending her all of our selections. We were speechless looking through it. It was BEAUTIFUL and it took us right back to all of the moments captured on our special day. We could not have been more thrilled with our choice to use Catherine as our photographer! We highly recommend Acevedo Weddings!!

in the way that meant the most to us. On the Day of she was spectacular and very organized. Worth every penny. I will use her in the future for any photography needs without hesitation.

ine was super accommodating, kind, and flexible as we decided what to do and when we might reschedule. I really cannot express what a relief it was to know she was the one part of our wedding we did not have to worry about! On the day of our wedding, Catherine was very professional, friendly, and a calming influence - my bridal party and family all noted how easy she was to work with, and everyone loved the photos (which were provided to us very quickly after the day!) Catherine was also very helpful with suggesting locations for photos, while making sure to incorporate a few specific shots we wanted. I can't recommend her enough - can't wait to work with her again in the future!

e for my wedding day, she showed the same kindness and professionalism throughout the whole day. I loved all my wedding images too! They were perfect! Catherine is wonderful at what she does and I highly recommend booking her for yourself!

t was missed back. There are some gems in there. But there are also a lot of awkward photos. There are classic pictures of the men getting ready then a lot of photos of the bride and the hairdresser, none of the classic bridesmaids photos. She did not capture the father of the bride seeing the bride for the first time, and a bridesmaid even asked her to take this photo. The portraits have a lot of awkward placement with weird gaps between family members. There are only profile photos of the groom seeing the bride walk down the aisle. The only actual ask I had was to take photos of the wedding guests when they crowded together. She did not do this at all and of our 200+ guests, we only have photos of 30 – 40 attendees This was the biggest disappointment as it was my only request and the only opportunity we will ever have to have taken those photos. I think what hurt us the most was her defensive attitude and endless excuses on “miscommunications” and “crunched for time.” I just hope that she learns from our experiences so that no other bride feels how I do about their wedding photos.

we were looking for and what my husband and I wanted. She was very open to any ideas that we had but was also quick with suggestions to help us as well. We felt very comfortable with her which meant a lot since like most people we aren't totally at ease in front of the camera. The resulting pictures are beautiful, unique and so perfectly us. Then Covid hit and our original date was the very last Saturday in the original six week stay at home order. I was devastated but Catherine felt like one of my biggest Champions. When we had to reschedule she was my absolute no negotiation, must have vendor. We rescheduled for August of 2020, hopeful and excited but when that time came, we weren't comfortable having a large ceremony and reception. Catherine was there supporting us immediately. We ended up doing a small ceremony then and she photographed it and did some portraits for us that meant so much to me. We ended up having our reception this July 2021 and it was amazing. Catherine and her assistant Tara were both so sweet and full of amazing energy that day. I can't even begin to say how invaluable it was that they kept us laughing and relaxed that day. I have the wedding pictures of my dreams and love them all so much. I adore Catherine and would reccomend her to anyone who is looking for an incredibly talented photographer who is also a wonderful, kind and caring human as well.

o that my fiance and I could meet her and share our preliminary expectations. About 4-6 weeks before the wedding we met again and Catherine helped me to iron out a (super organized) wedding itinerary complete with a detailed list of family photo groupings, which ensured that none of the important shots were missed. She even set aside extra time to help me talk through and organize ideas I had for utilizing the second shooter. She was so flexible and responsive to all of my ideas and by the time our wedding date approached, she felt like a close friend. It made the entire day that much easier! Our coordinator, family members, and even guests commented on her professionalism. She knew exactly how to stage the photos and where to place us to get the best angles, use of sunlight, and stunning, natural poses. Her confidence and knowledge of photography resulted in nearly 1,000 incredible photos commemorating our special day. My only complaint is that I don't have enough wall space in my house to display all of my favorites!

ose attending our wedding, Catherine took beautiful photos of every detail of the day, and she was really able to capture who we are and the feeling of our super intimate wedding. Our pictures are gorgeous and we will treasure them forever. Book her now! She's the BEST!

ality of her work is timeless and something that I will always cherish looking back at my wedding photos. She captures the portraits perfectly, and the candid moments even better. I HIGHLY recommend her for any special occasion!

ding day timeline. She has so much knowledge of the wedding industry, and she promptly answered any questions that I had. Her pictures are absolutely beautiful as well. My husband and I booked her for an 8 hour day for our wedding and the price we paid included a second shooter (shout-out to Tara who was also amazing!) and a one hour engagement session. She is quite affordable when you consider the high quality of her work and everything included in your photo package. I can promise that you will not regret having her as your photographer. She is one of the best in the business. She was truly a godsend on my wedding day and helped alleviate so much stress (and honestly that alone made her worth every penny!) Thank you, Catherine, for being amazing to work with! Don’t walk, run to book her as your photographer!!

e with any future photography needs!

went above and beyond to accommodate our busy schedules. Our pictures were amazing and we received our wedding album about 3 weeks after the wedding. Our wedding album she put together was beautiful. I would highly recommend working with Catherine.

gement and wedding! The packages she offers include so many wonderful things- engagement session, 2nd shooter, plenty of wedding time, and a beautiful album! She is so flexible and was able to meet quickly and in different locations for our engagement shoot. We felt a little awkward getting so many pictures taken of us being so “intimate”, but we were quickly made comfortable by Catherine and laughed the whole time! We would definitely recommend her for your wedding!!

Our album was so thoughtfully prepared and Catherine worked with me to make every detail perfect. She is the best!!

re both super easy to get along with and to take direction from; they made our wedding all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend Catherine Palladino Photography!!

middle of my makeup and I was not able to give her much direction. She did not seem fazed at all -- she got help from a bridesmaid and took charge, finding places around the church to take creative pictures. As for her work--the photos are crisp, bright, naturally elegant, and sophisticated. My husband and I are so happy with them and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives! Thank you Catherine!
