BeauMonde Originals

So excited that Cathie and Al helped us capture our amazing day! From our first phone call Cathie seemed genuinely excited about our wedding and having us as clients. They truly make you feel like you are part of the BeauMonde family! Services were everything we hoped for and more. Cathie took the time to go through a detailed walk thru with us at our wedding venue well in advance. Communication was always timely and efficient. On our wedding day both Cathie and Al were fun yet professional and caputured some truly amazing moments. They made sure to grab us to find the perfect shot at different points throughout the entire day but never felt like a chore- especially since my wife and I are not the type to enjoy a photo shoot. Friends and family immediately commented on the quality of our photography and we couldn’t agree me! Cannot recommend them enough- truly a fantastic experience.

Cathie and Al are AMAZING. From our first phone call for our wedding, Cathie and Al made everything easy. My husband and I didn’t have a clear idea on how we wanted to structure the day and BeauMonde stepped in and helped us plan everything for the day and prioritized what mattered to us. I’ve never felt comfortable in front of a camera, but BeauMonde makes it easy, stress free, and you get fantastic results! Couldn’t recommend them more highly❤️

Finding a photographer for your wedding or any special day can be a daunting task! How can you find beautiful photos, as well as people that you vibe with and make you feel comfortable? After meeting with Cathie and Al at their home, we instantly connected and knew they were the right people to capture our special day. They got to know us as people, wanting to know what movies, TV, hobbies, and things we are into, so we could find what we have in common. We were going back and forth about if we wanted a videographer, and lucky for us Beaumonde Originals is a husband and wife team of a photographer and videographer. Cathie takes amazing photos and Al captures such special moments on film. Their additional photo and video team members are just as talented! We did our engagement photos and they helped us find locations that were unique across the city. They were totally willing to run around the city chasing beautiful locations and the sunset. Using them for our engagement photos helped us become more comfortable in front of the camera, and helped Cathie and Al learn more about us as a couple. We got our engagement photos back within a week and were able to use them for our Save the Dates. Leading up to our wedding, we met for a venue walkthrough where we made a timeline for the big day, a list of photo locations, and sketched out lists of photos to be taken. Cathie communicated often and gave us clear lists of information and items she needed from us. This helped me stay organized and kept us both informed of important information needed for the wedding day. All of this preparation helped the big day run smoothly. The day of the wedding, the Beaumonde Originals team arrived on time and immediately got down to business. The team managed our large bridal party and families to get our photos done quickly. We were behind schedule after the ceremony went long, but the team worked efficiently to get us back on track. They captured all the special details of our big day and found unique locations for our photos. Above all, the team members at Beaumonde Originals are wonderful people to work with. They do their jobs extremely well, while being kind, passionate, and dedicated people. We wholeheartedly recommend them to capture your big day!

We literally do not have the words to describe how amazing Cathie and Al have been. They’ve both been an absolute pleasure to work with. Prior to our wedding, Cathie put us at ease right away during our location walk-through. We laughed lots during the big day and the photos turned out beautifully. Also, we should note that the weather was not being cooperative that day (was very windy) and Cathie and Al did a great job of improvising and making the best of the situation. Cathie and Al were able to capture all of the many wonderful moments during our wedding that we would want photos of, and even some that we even didn’t know were happening! The photos are just fantastic and really capture that moment in time for us perfectly. We cannot encourage you enough to book Cathie and Al for your wedding – you will be so happy that you did! Antonio & Lou

BG Photography and Video was one of the best choices I made when planning my wedding. Cathie, Al and Melanie were amazing. It was like we hired extremely competent and creative friends to shoot our wedding. They are easy to work with and their dedication to quality is unmatched. I'm beyond excited to see the photos and video they captured that day because I know they captured it all perfectly.

AMAZING!!!! Our church was very stingy with the time the allotted for pictures after our ceremony, but Cat was able to get every family photo, as well as our whole bridal party photos with the church in the background!! No way another photographer would have been able to do this for us!!! We loved working with the entire team! They gave us great advice before the wedding during our walk through, and even made a schedule with us. They were very flexible when we wanted to change the schedule around a little bit. Thank you guys!! Jacq & Jaime

BG Productions were the only photographers we looked at for our wedding. My husband works in the wedding industry, and he had it on good authority that they were the best, so that made the decision easy! We felt comfortable with them as soon as we met them, and Cathie and Al were so easy to talk to and work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. I knew we had made the correct choice early on when I called Cathie to discuss locations for pictures. She did not just "yes" me when I had grand ideas of traveling around to several locations for pictures. Instead, she was very honest about time limitations for our photos (we decided not to do a first look, so we had only the 1.5 hour cocktail hour for pictures of my husband and me). Even more, Cathie immediately jumped into problem solving mode and came up with a timeline and several nearby location options that would fit what I was looking for. I knew that we were in good hands! They were forecasting rain for our wedding day, and she even reached out a few days in advance telling me not to look at the weather, and assuring us that they had good ideas if the weather was poor. We lucked out and had only a fine drizzle, but Cathie and Al came equipped with umbrellas just in case! Our pictures turned out amazing, the perfect mix of portraits and party shots, and they made it all feel fun! We cannot thank Cathie and Al enough!

We cannot explain how grateful that Cat and Al SOMEHOW had an opening in their super-busy schedules when we booked them last minute for our June 2016 wedding! We had a really bad experience with our original photographer that led us searching for a new one with only TWO MONTHS to spare! Luckily, one of their weddings ended up being moved so they were available. And, honestly, although having to find a new photographer so close to our wedding was incredibly stressful - I believe, at the end of the day, that it was truly "meant to be." After clicking via our initial Skype convo, we met up with Cat and Al for a last minute mini-engagement shoot - mainly to get to know each other better and talk about our thoughts for our wedding day. My partner and I have some insecurities being in front of the camera, but Cat and Al made us feel cool, calm, and collected the entire time. They found ways to allow us to be comfortable, natural, and authentic. We knew after that day we made the right decision! And, as expected, they were a DREAM on our wedding day. They kept us on schedule but were also flexible when things didn't go exactly according to plan. After the big day, we received our photos soooo quickly - and relished in how many amazing shots they were able to capture. The best part of working with BG is that we now feel truly part of their family - and know that we have made friends for life. We cannot recommend them enough! Also SUPER LGBTQ inclusive - in case anyone needed that info as well! :)

If you are undecided about your wedding day (or any other big life event) photographer, look no further! You must go with Cathie and Al Green from BG Productions. They are locally based Philly photographers but love to travel and are sooo accommodating so I'm sure they would go wherever you needed them. First, when my husband and I met with them, we met at their home office. Their office was profession but also fun and eclectic, and BONUS we got to hang out with their furry friends. It was apparent from the first meeting that Cathie and Al were willing to listen to all of our ideas to ensure our wedding day was exactly what we wanted. Any time I had questions, Cat would immediately respond via email or phone. On the actual wedding day, Cat and Al arrived early and ready to get to work! They were so friendly and helpful to all bridal party members (thank you Al for getting the groomsmen ready and set up since they were disorganized!). I was nervous during our first look pictures because I make this awkward face when I am smiling on demand. Cathie assured me the pictures looked awesome and actually stopped the photo shoot for a second to show me some of the candid shots that she had gotten already- and I loved them! The rest of the day I was able to relax knowing that Cathie and Al are professionals and will get the best pictures of us because that is what they DO. Cathie had a way of being assertive when needed to make sure that all the combinations of bridal and family photos were taken, but also had a way of being easy going and fun at the same time. I got so many comments from guests after the wedding that they wanted to hang out with Cat and Al again because they were so great. I have only seen a few pictures so far, but from what I have seen, the pictures are truly amazing and I can't wait to see the rest! Well worth the cost for pictures that I know will be breathtaking!

To sum up my experience with Cat and Al in two words it was priceless and perfect! I can’t say enough good things about them. From the very beginning when we met until after our wedding day they have made every step such a magical and perfect moment. This was the best day of my life that went by so quick and looking back now the only thing I have to remember it is the beautiful pictures and video they took. Out of everything that we booked for the day this is was hands down the best investment we made. On the wedding day, Cat, Al, Jen, and Beth were basically our wedding planners! They went over and beyond from fixing my cake after my wedding planner put the card box top on the top of the cake (my wedding planner was terrible lol) to jumping in a stream barefoot to get the right shot of us to making sure I was calm and everything was going smoothly. There was another wedding going on the same time as mine and Cat went over (without me even asking) and made sure that it wouldn’t interrupt ours. The entire day anytime anyone asked me what was going on I just said “Ask Cat” and she took care of it! There are so many little things she did throughout the day that helped with the day going smoothly that were not part of her role, but she does it because she truly cares. On top of that, our pictures came out breathtaking! All of our friends and family are raving about the photos and are saying they have never seen such amazing wedding photos before. I remember reading reviews for BG before we booked our wedding and them all saying how Cat and Al are now great friends of theirs and not only are they talented, but great people. I couldn’t explain it any better. They are amazing people and will be lifelong friends of ours now. I could go on all day about how great they were, but honestly our pictures speak for themselves. Check them out! http://www.bgproonline.com/skytop-lodge-wedding-fairytale-wedding-photography-lauren-jerry/

Cat and Al are such an amazing team who really takes your vision and makes your day perfect. They are so incredible to work with with fun, upbeat personalities to make your day that much more exciting and perfect. Enjoyed every minute of our experience!! Thank you for such a great experience!!

The entire BG team is an incredibly talented, caring, professional, and just downright great group of people! We were lucky to spend our wedding day with photographers Jen and James who truly made the day special. Unfortunately, I came down with the stomach flu on my wedding day and wasn't exactly feeling my best. Jen was so positive and down to earth that she helped me feel comfortable and managed to capture some of the most beautiful pictures of me and my husband ever! Cat was also with us to plan the day since the beginning and even checked in on how I was feeling afterward; what other photographers can you say that about?? We haven't seen the album yet but based on the sneak peeks we've seen so far, it's going to look beyond spectacular. Thank you for making our day!!

We loved working with Cat and Al. We love the photos - AND they were so organized and on point we got to make it to our cocktail party!!!!

Cat & Al are simply amazing - amazing at what they do and amazing individuals! We knew we had the right people to capture our special day the second we talked to them. They were warm, funny and took time to get to know us. We loved getting to know them and can’t wait to see them again! 5 stars isn't enough! Our wedding pictures are simply stunning as well as capture all the big moments and small details. They sent sneak peaks within a day and created a beautiful photo blog 2 weeks later. Looking at them just takes us back like we’re reliving our wedding day. We wanted our day to be about the people around us who were there to help make it memorable - Cat & Al captured that - we look at the pics and chuckle at the funny moments, and are in awe at how they’ve caught our emotions. We can’t wait for the video - best advice we were given. If you’re thinking about whether to video your wedding - do it! The day goes by in a flash and having Al there to memorialize it is a must! Our bridal party loved them and their team - really enjoyed sharing in lots of laughs. Cat is so organized and keeps you on track which is so important on a hectic day like your wedding. If you’re just looking for a photographer and/or videographer that will work off a checklist, are impersonal and are there just to do a job - find someone else. These are people who are passionate about what they do and care about who they do it with. Their work is fantastic and they are fantastic people more importantly. We enjoyed our time with Cat & Al and honestly can’t imagine anyone else capturing our special moments in the future. More so, we feel like we’ve built a friendship. I don’t think this review does justice! We are incredibly grateful for how they made our wedding such a wonderful experience. If Cal & Al are available, book them!

BG was one of the best decision we made for the wedding because we thought capturing the moment was the most important part of the wedding and we are so happy that we went with BG. They are such great people and they helped us through the wedding preparation process. I found a lot of other vendors through them and their suggestions were great as well. They were very helpful the day of and helped us stay on schedule and the photos turned out so awesome! Everyone love the album that they had put together. We are pretty camera shy usually but they were able to make us look so awesome. Can't say thank you enough to Cathie, Al and Jen!

Of all the decisions we had to make, choosing Cat and Al to be out photographers was the one thing that we didn't hesitate about or second guess. The pictures they take are art filled with memories... But they were also calming forces in the chaos that was our wedding day. They are organized, personable, professional and more awesome then we could have hoped for.

The BG team is simply the best! It rained on our wedding day but it sure didn't ruin a single shot of the day! Cat, Al, Jen, and Brian made sure we captured all of the shots we wanted even though they weren't where we planned. We have gotten so many compliments about our photos. We could not speak any more highly of them!

If you aren't looking for a photographer/videographer team who are on time (& keep you on time), find all the right moments, capture everything you could possibly want (& we had a few add ins), communicate with you CONSTANTLY & then treat you like family, then BG Productions is not the company you should choose. We were referred to BG from a couple who had used them & after their wedding, we asked them, "Who were your friends? They are really cool!" Their response was: "They were our photographers, we just found them on The Knot." Their pictures turned out AMAZING. Unique, artistic, fun. Cat makes a point to seek out different areas she thinks would make for an awesome photo & the only thing to do is to trust her because she. knows. her. stuff. Her husband Al is amazing. I just got married last night & I can't wait to see our video, but from our experience of seeing our friends video, I know it will turn out incredible. We were married in Cape May & Al even set up some really cool time lapse GoPros looking out onto the beach. They both go out of their way to make you feel comfortable & like you are one of their closest friends. I really can't say enough amazing things about these guys, & I have only seen my photobooth pictures (get it. Their photobooth is so much fun!). There was never a moment that I regretted choosing BG! They know what they are DOING!

BG Productions are there for the bride and groom in every way possible! The entire team who shot our wedding was relaxed, fun, organized and just overall AMAZING! The entire team will bend over backwards to make sure your day is everything you want it to be; not what they think it should be. My husband and I can't say enough about the BG Team. We are so happy to be part of their family. Yes, I said family! They truly treat their clients like family and take pride in making you happy. You won't regret your decision to hire BG! WE LOVE THEM and won't use anyone else again to capture our special moments!

Cathie and Al are AMAZING. My wedding was 2 weeks ago and BG Productions (Cathie, Al, Melanie, and Greg) were there to capture every perfect moment. From the second they arrived at my parents' house that morning, they contributed to the wonderful atmosphere. They were fun, calming, and helpful, yet wonderfully assertive. They did an amazing job of KINDLY directing everyone all day. They were never rude or pushy, but made it clear that they took their job very seriously. Their creativity is infectious. In the last two weeks, I've been able to view sneak peeks of my wedding pictures via Facebook, Instagram, and even a thoughtful blog post! My entire family has done nothing but talk about how beautiful these pictures are since they've been posted. We are so grateful for everything BG Productions has done for us. THANK YOU CATHIE AND AL!

Mere words cannot express our gratitude and love for Cathie and Al Berrey-Green for all their help throughout the wedding process with engagement photos, planning out our big day, easing our wedding stresses, the day of the wedding, and the beautiful pictures and video afterward. Their artwork is incredible, and we are truly grateful for these two remarkable people and their love for their work and clients. Cathie and Al are a great team, which made working with them so easy, enjoyable and loads of fun. They put their hearts into their work, and it shows in every picture and video clip. When we received our video and album after the wedding, we were just blown away by the quality of their work. On our wedding day, these two were simply amazing. Cathie is assertive and not afraid to use her voice, which was extremely helpful during pictures. I have been to weddings with shy photographers who are afraid to ask people to move. You will not worry about this with Cathie, and she will make sure to get all the best shots. Al did an excellent job in helping to get the right angles and lighting for every shot. As my wife and I often reminisce about our wedding day and the months leading up it, as well as the months following it, we often think about how important and special the role Cathie and Al played in the entire process. We were so lucky to find them, and hiring them for our wedding was the smartest decision we made. Feel free to check out some of their work below. Let the pictures speak for themselves. http://www.bgproonline.com/blog/havre-de-grace-wedding-rachelle-john-bg-productions-photography-and-videography/

If there were more than 5 stars, I'd click on every one of them for BG Productions! Cat and Al are truly a dynamic duo. They went above and beyond the basic "contract," communicating with us continually over the course of our engagement and wedding planning process to ensure we were all on the same page about the images and overall vibe that would be captured on our wedding day. They patiently and painstakingly revised plans and timelines, and went out of their way to calm our nerves and assure us that we were in good hands. We were in GREAT hands with BG! We purchased the engagement photo session + Save the Date video package - HIGHLY recommend! Our family and friends were blown away by the quality of the product! BG nailed it!! On our wedding day, BG was punctual, stealthy, and everywhere we needed them to be. They even seamlessly executed a surprise "first look" (bold move to surprise the bride!) at the request of my husband. The "sneak peek" album they edited and shared just days after our wedding contained the most phenomenal images. We can't wait to receive the full shebang!! In their craft, they are top notch. Moreover, Cat and Al are sincere, personable, caring, thoughtful people - true professionals as vendors, and now genuine friends of ours. Wedding photography/videography is truly an INVESTMENT, and you really do get what you pay for. BG is worth every cent!!!

BG was the perfect team to capture our day! As soon as we met Cat and Al, we knew we definitely wanted them to be part of our wedding day. The photos were one of the most important pieces of our wedding, so we definitely wanted a great team that we knew we could trust to capture all those photo memories for us. Cat and Jen we our photographers for the day, and we could not have asked for a better pair! They were so awesome to work with - a great blend of professionalism and fun! I knew we were in good hands - I never stressed about the photos. From our first meeting, through the wedding day and now seeing some sneak peaks, I know we made the right choice. We LOVE BG and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing photography team.

Cathie and Al are AMAZING!!! They are everything you could want and more! After just a brief meeting with the both of them I felt like we were friends... Hugs on the spot :) E-session- photos are breath taking, as you can see from browsing their works.. But equally as important we had a blast!! If you want to have fun and love your photgraphers just as much as your photos, they are your blessing!!

We were lucky enough to have Cat and Al available for our wedding - we knew as soon as we met them that they were the perfect photographers for us - professional, laid back, hilarious and amazingly talented. I am VERY picky when it comes to photographs - I know exactly the style that I like and even though I did an extensive search prior to contacting them, I just kept coming back to their images. Thankfully, their personalities are just as amazing! We met and went over all of the details ahead of time and when our wedding day arrived, not only did they deliver, but went above and beyond. Between corralling my extended family and helping with last minute wardrobe glitches, there wasn't an opportunity that passed them by to help make our day run smoothly - even when it wasn't directly photo related. I can't recommend them enough to anyone even considering hiring them.

We chose the BG team to photograph and video record our wedding a month ago and we couldn't be happier with that decision! This was based on the great work they did at my best friends wedding in 2012, we were fortunate that they had our date available when it came time to book everything for our own big day. The team did an incredible job of capturing and incorporating all the little details we put into our wedding. From the very first meeting we had, we felt like they became friends and really cared about what we wanted for our wedding day. So excited to have these moments on film to remember for the rest of our lives! Thank you Cathie, Al and Daniel!

We used BG for our engagement session and wedding and can't say enough good things about them! Their work itself is incredible, but even beyond that, they're such a pleasure to work with. From our first meeting with them, we knew they were a perfect fit. They're down to earth, really open to ideas and take the time to get to know all of their clients. For our engagement session, they put us completely at ease, making us comfortable in front of the camera. The day of the wedding, they handled all the stress like pros. They kept us on schedule and made what could have been a very hectic day a breeze. And, they're willing to go above and beyond for the perfect shot; Cathie was laying on the dance floor at one point, and another shooter was up in a tree! Picking BG as our photographer/videographer was very easily the best wedding decision we made!

My husband and I used Cat and Al at BG Productions for our wedding photography. We were so happy with their professionalism before, during and after the wedding. They got every shot we wanted and really captured how great our wedding was. After the wedding was over, they got a blog of select pictures out within the first few days and all of our pictures were ready well within the agreed upon timeline. We also got a wedding album through them for our own album. It is beautiful and amazing quality! I cannot say enough wonderful things about the BG Pro team. If you have the opportunity to use them absolutely do it and you won't regret it! We will be planning to use them again for future events. Cat and Al are not just our photographers, they are now our friends and we are so thankful for them capturing our wedding!

Cathie and Al are extremely knowledgeable about photography in the city of Philadelphia!! In addition to being fantastic photographers that take truly unique and beautiful photos, they made sure we were able to get a permit for one of the historic buildings in Philadelphia to ensure that we captured the city's beauty in our photography. They make sure you keep to the wedding schedule but are also flexible to make sure you get all of the shots you want! I cannot say more about how much fun they are to work with and how much I've loved the photos I've seen so far! I cannot wait to see our video either!! I'd very highly recommend Cathie and Al for any photography and videography needs!

Perfect! We loved everything! We booked both photography and videography through them. The photographs are so beautiful. My husband and I are not the most photogenic and were also quite awkward but they somehow made us look like a million bucks! I can't wait to see all of the photos and the video but from what I've already seen they will be fabulous!

My fiance' and I had so much fun doing our engagement photos yesterday with BG Productions . Cathie is a true artist and we are so blessed to have found her and Al. If you are looking for true art to be made from your love- then you've found your photographer and videographer. They are are truly passionate about their work and love of people! I can't get over how beautiful our sneak peaks are and how truly lucky we are to have them be a part of our journey. They have been the easiest and best choice we have made in the planning of our wedding. They left us inspired, empowered, and even more in love with each other after our session. We can not wait until our wedding now! Thank you thank you thank you!

My fiancee and I were planning an informal, low-key wedding and we were looking for a photographer who would be in tune with the vibe of what we had in mind. BG Productions came recommended by a friend. We held an initial get-to-know-you teleconference with Cathie and Al and by the end of that meeting, we were confident we’d found the right photographers for us. During the planning process, Cathie and Al were very helpful and offered their experience with weddings as a resource beyond just taking pictures. We were throwing an additional challenge at our photographers - we realized that our venue would be in the middle of large construction project, with visually intrusive equipment all over. Cathie was smart enough to scope out the grounds with us beforehand to make a plan for composing pictures that worked around the construction issue and make certain we got all the shots we wanted. Both Cathie and Al were friendly and pleasant throughout our planning process. By the time we got to the big day, it felt more like we had two additional guests than anything else. But make no mistake, these guys are pros. The after-ceremony photo shoot went smoothly. We got beautiful portraits of my wife and me with and without our families, but our photographers never seemed demanding or tried to push us into anything that felt out of character. And their unposed shots of the ceremony and reception captured some moments exquisitely. After seeing the photos Cathie and Al took at our wedding, we can wholeheartedly recommend BG Productions to anyone looking for a photography team that is a joy to work with and produces great results.

I can't rave enough about our experience with Cat and Al as our photographers. When you hire them for your wedding, you will be entering into more than just a contract - you will be starting a relationship. From the first time I stumbled upon their website and saw the creativity and diversity in their shots, to meeting them for the first time in their home prior to deciding anything for sure, to the walk through weeks before the wedding, and finally to the big day, they were always personable, fun, organized, trustworthy, and above all, fantastic photographers. They know their stuff. And they have the confidence and experience to be sure you always feel like you're the most important part of your day while they're getting the job done. My friends and family had so many compliments about them and guests very much appreciated that Cat and Al would jump in and take professional shots with them as they were trying to master their own bridal selfies. I was so happy that they were a part of our special day, and I can't wait to see all of the final pictures! Al even helped my sons with their ties. So cute! The mini album was already with every penny! Love these two!

I was married August 6 2011.still to this day I have several people who attended my wedding comment and gush on how beautiful my photos and video were produced.how the documents we're set to me were with A letter and a pack of popcorn so that I and my husband could relive the moment all over together again.the amount of love in emotion that Cathie and Al put into their work shows.everything was intimate and yet so subtle that precious moments that we would have missed were captured I recently had a friend of mine that I had not spoken to for several years contact me just for their information.anytime the anyone has any sort of event I always recommend them.they accommodated all my request and we're very knowledgeable about their craft.you can tell that this isn't just a job this is something that they give a hundred and ten percent in they are just as invested as the people receiving the services.I am very happy and think very fondly of them even after all this time.I would recommend them time and time again.

Cat and Al were such a pleasure to work with from day one. We did a walkthrough about 6 weeks in advance and this helped us work out all the kinks so that nothing would go wrong on our actual wedding day. It was so helpful that they did this with us as many other photographers we looked at did not offer this. Even in the days leading up to the wedding, Cat commiserated with me over my concerns about the weather. She acted more like a friend than a vendor! When our wedding day finally rolled around, we didn't worry about any of the details because we knew we were in great hands and they would take care of all the details we just didn't have time to worry about. They truly were fantastic in every way, shape and form. They kept others from interfering in the shots and they were patient with our bridal party. When it came time for family pictures, Cat even picked up and held my little dog while she was taking some of the shots! Talk about dedication. After the ceremony, Cat also helped me take out my veil and fix my hair and they made sure our guests gave me and my new husband a few minutes of alone time. They both have such chill and down to earth personalities. They got along with everyone and absolutely everyone loved them! Thank you guys for going so above and beyond for us! You made our day so much less stressful and truly unforgettable. I haven't seen any of the video yet but OMG THE PICTURES!!! They are sooo beautiful and we can't wait to get them printed and blown up on our walls. If you are looking for a photo video team that will really blow you away, then look no further than BG. They know what they are doing and will not disappoint!

Cat and Al were amazing!!!! The photos are fantastic and they got every shot I wanted and didn't even know I wanted! So glad we added the video - it was beautifully done and we love watching it again and again. The day goes so quick - the video helped me to remember it all! Everyone at the wedding comments all the time about how amazing the photos are and how much they loved Cat and Al!

I don’t even know where to start with a review for BG Productions, besides they are the BEST AT EVERYTHING! Not only were they our awesome wedding photographers, but they have become our friends. They became my assistant wedding planners, therapists, etc!!! Every detail that they see for photography is amazing. I got so many compliments throughout the wedding day of how awesome and on point our family and friends thought they were! They are totally present throughout the wedding process and their jobs never stop. Cat & Al go SO above and beyond for all of their clients that it is evident how much they care about every single person they do business with. I could ramble on and on forever about how great they are, but you can see why within the first 5 minutes of meeting them! My MOH & her fiance and two of our other friends are using them too for their weddings! (even a few couples at the wedding said they wanted to use them too when the time came!!) WE LOVE CAT & AL!!!!!! PS- get photography, videography AND the Photo Booth!!! You won't be sorry!!

We are so happy that we chose BG as our wedding photographers. From the first email, Cathie was so attentive and ready to answer any question that we had. She and Matt met us at our reception site about a month before our reception for a walk through. She developed a plan so that our whole day would run smoothly. On the day of our wedding, their creativity and vision were evident. She even knew how to get the bride to relax! Her suggestion of the Horticulture Center for pictures after the ceremony was perfect! She knew all the right spots to visit to capture the perfect shots! The sunset shots during the reception are totally amazing! We are so impressed with just our sneak peak. We can't wait until we get to see the rest!

This was by far the best best decision my husband and I made for our wedding. We used Cat & Al for engagement and wedding photography, video of the wedding day, photo booth and I also did a boudoir shoot for my husband with Cat. Their work is impeccable, they are incredibly professional and also some wonderful wonderful people. They are warm, inviting, energetic and invested in what they do. Our pictures came out amazing and I can't wait to see the video! I'd also strongly recommend the photo booth if you are thinking of going that route. In my opinion, it was great to a have a photo booth that could accommodate large groups instead of those small carnival ones that take crappy pictures. My guests LOVED the photo booth and it was great to see everyone get silly.

BG productions was the best decision we made for our wedding. The company is a husband and wife and they treat you like you are their only client. They really listened to what we wanted and our style was clearly reflected in the pictures. The price is a little high, but it was worth every penny. I had no worries about the pictures and the video. I knew they had it all under control. And Cathie and Al are awesome people to hang out with too. Becoming one of their clients is like becoming part of their family (cheesy, I know, but it's true)! I would recommend BG Productions to anyone and everyone!

We just got our photos back, and I can honestly say that I could not be happier. The photos are GORGEOUS! Not only that, but Cathie really listened to the kind of aesthetic I wanted: candid, ethereal, whimsical. Also, the beginning of my wedding day was a bit stressful because of family stuff, but lucky for us, Al is the king of interpersonal relationships. My bridesmaids kept telling me afterwards how amazing he was at keeping the peace, always being positive, and just generally being a sweetheart! I would totally recommend BG.

From the moment we saw their website we knew we wanted them to capture our wedding. Then after meeting them we knew that we HAD to have them! Cat and Al compliment one another so well. They are laid back while still being on top of anything and everything. They are personable but also let your own personalities shine through your images, not theirs. They were always professional and exceeded our expectations many times over. We are in love with our images and can't wait to keep seeing them displayed in our home forever! Highly recommend this dynamic duo!

Al and Cathie aren't just amazing photographers, they are amazing people. Yes, their photos are drop-dead gorgeous, but they also made so many good suggestions about things to include (or not include) in the wedding and really contributed to the festive atmosphere. They really got us as a couple, and their photos really let our personalities (and those of our guests) shine through. There are no words for how beautiful their photos are, but it was also their energy and dedication as people that made them a joy to work with. When hiring a photographer remember that you've got to spend all day with these people, so you really want people who are not just competent, but also confidants. Al and Cathie were that for us.

My Husband and I have used BG Productions for our engagement photos, a family session, and our Wedding. We were just married on November 9th, 2013. From the first time I heard of BG Productions, to the time I saw their work, to the first time we met them, to every email I sent to them, and to our Wedding Day..they have been AMAZING!!! I searched for photographers for months trying to find the right one, my Husband thought I was crazy for putting so much though into who we wanted. But once we met Cathie and Al from BG, we both fell in love. They have awesome personalities and are extremely talented. Cathie and Al are the BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS we've ever met. No detail is missed and they work together so well always pointing out to the other little things. Booking BG Productions was the best wedding planning decision we made. Some vendors can be flakey and stress you out, BG never once made me stress. BG Productions are our lifetime photographers! Cathie and Al are such an amazing, fun, friendly, and talented power couple!

My husband Matt and I can't say enough about BG Productions and Cat and Al! From the moment we met them, they were like part of the family. They went above and beyond, sending us little notes and gifts and words of encouragement that our day would be perfect and constant reassurance that they would help us out with whatever we needed! They were so fun to work with and took the most artful and poignant pictures that fully captured our wedding day. Cat made sure to focus on all of the tiny and meaningful details of the day while keeping everyone organized and focused (not an easy task with our family and friends!) Al was available for whatever else we needed--getting our puppy to pose and look his best in all our pics, making sure to get the pictures of the groom/groomsmen getting ready while Cat was with the ladies, making sure wires and other "background" things weren't in the way in pictures and even disposing of a dead mouse we discovered (Superman Al!). They both joined in with our celebrating for dancing and fun. The very next day, we were able to relive our wedding through a "mini" album of over 100 pictures already edited and posted for our enjoyment. Is is obvious that Cat and Al love their job and they go above and beyond to make that passion come through in their work. Yay BG Productions! We love you guys! Love: Sarah, Matt and ARCHER (woof!)

If you are reading this review, it means that you are considering using Cat & Al to capture your big day and all I can say about that is...BOOK THEM NOW! Stop everything you are doing and contact them to make sure they are available for your date. Seriously, look no further...whether hours upon hours of wedding research or a fabulous twist of fate brought you to the BG Productions page, you had better get on your knees and thank your lucky stars/guardian angels/psychic friends/awesome Googling skills because you will NEVER again find a team quite like Cat & Al. If you were hoping to have outstanding, hard-working, professional, friendly, visionary and supportive vendors on your side, you are in the right place. My husband found BG Productions online after my "dream" photographer quoted us with an outrageous price for photography and videography. This vendor was not helpful and offered us a "junior photographer" and about two hours of services for our budget along with a "not my problem" attitude. That is why BG will forever remain my knights in shining armor for treating us with respect and providing an insane level of personalized quality service. We booked an engagement session, photography, and videography with Cat & Al and let me tell you - there is no price you can put on feeling comfortable and confident with the people you have chosen to record the best day of your life. Meeting Cat & Al during our e-session in NYC was like being with old friends. They put us at ease immediately and had us try things that really reflected our fun-loving personalities. Most importantly, the e-session confirmed what I had known all along...Cat & Al truly were "the ones" (swoon). On the day of our wedding, their knowledge and positive attitudes kept the entire wedding alive and on track. In fact, our second shooter, Colleen, quite literally saved the day when she bustled my dress!!! WHAT?! Yes, with the help of Cat and Colleen I was able to actually attend my reception rather than sit in a hotel room for the rest of the evening transforming into the bridezilla of my nightmares. I will never forget Cat saying, "Why didn't someone come and get us sooner?!" And I thought, I wish I would have but who knew a photographer could bustle! They are wedding superheroes...period. They are always on your side and will do anything necessary to provide you with what you deserve - the best. Fast forward to a short time later and we have our photos, video teaser, and full Blu-ray video...we are over the moon IN LOVE with our wedding images. Seeing our family, friends, and each of our wedding details made the happiness and joy of that day come flooding back to our hearts. Now, how Al Green does not have shelves upon shelves of awards for the amazingly wonderful breathtaking marvelous work that he does is beyond me. Our wedding teaser and video was remarkable. We laughed. We cried. We had permanent smiles for WEEKS. I also can't tell you how much the little things really added up. The care package we received from them shortly before our wedding was such a lovely gesture and the time and thought they put into packaging their work is meticulous and catered to a couple's personality so perfectly. Do not expect service like theirs from every photographer because I can guarantee you will be let down. I honestly can't say enough good things about these two incredible people except that I am grateful we found them and are so excited to work with them again.

We were so lucky to have Cathie and Al photograph/video our wedding. They are an AMAZING duo and extremely talented. Most of all, they are genuinely awesome people. They captured all of the important moments with ease, and the entire family/wedding party photo session was stress-free and extremely efficient. Our photos are beautiful. More than any other vendor, BG Productions helped us nail down the timing of our entire day. On our first in-person meeting, they sat down with us and voluntarily helped us think through the schedule of events until we had everything worked out. We left that meeting incredibly excited, and also incredibly relieved to have finalized a task that had been causing us a huge headache. As a couple who was planning a weird wedding (steampunk themed), it was fantastic to have a photography team who not only understood the theme, but loves steampunk. Cathie and Al came in costume, so they fit right in with everyone at the wedding. We've had so many of our guests comment on how fantastic they were, and how much fun they were to have at the wedding. Would highly recommend BG Productions to anyone!

From the very first moment I met Cat, I knew BG productions would be a great fit for our wedding. Down to earth, funny, friendly, and overall great to be around. Throughout the entire process, she checked in with us frequently to make sure we were happy and comfortable with how things were going. When you're looking for an opinion, you get an open and honest one and yet always respectful and considerate. Your needs are always put first. We decided halfway through our planning year that we wanted to add video and we are soooo happy we did. Al is simply wonderful! And Cat and Al truly make an amazing team together. We can't imagine one without the other. The day of the wedding, they work hard to get the best job done but they know how to have a good time doing it. They go above and beyond. Cat even helped get me into my dress and help work on repairing my broken earrings! The work itself is gorgeous. They have great eyes. They know how to catch the best moments and will do whatever it takes to make it happen. Lora who helped out that day was also great! She helped catch a number of beautiful moments and was a joy to work with as well. Cat posted a picture of my dad and I before 24 hours had passed and an entire mini album within 2-3 days. So awesome seeing those moments while you're still riding high from the day's events. Words can't do them justice (and certainly not the amount allowed in this review). I would recommend BG over and over and over again.

We met BG Productions while touring our venue at an open house. We fell in love with their unique vibe and awesome work. We immediately booked them before even booking our venue! Both my husband and I are in the wedding industry and have never seen such amazing work! We booked them for not only our wedding but our engagement shoot, family shoot, Christmas photos, and a boudoir session. We were blown away at their fast responses to emails and calls, lending ideas to make our vision come true and the fast turn around time to see our amazing photos and videos! There's not a day that goes by where someone doesn't our photos on social media and raves about how amazing the photos are! Not only are they amazing at what they do but they truly have become a part of our family over the past year and a half. We feel such a bond with them like we have known them forever. They are so down to earth and personable and they make you feel like you have been friends forever. I can't stress how awesome this team is. My dream was to have our wedding pictures taken on a carousel. We originally planned to have our wedding in Atlantic City and take pictures on the boardwalk. Being that my Grandmother is elderly and couldn't travel Cat and Al (BG Productions) went to the moon and back to make it possible for us to get our pictures on a carousel in center city Philadelphia once the park was closed down! I can't explain how amazing it was to have our photographer/videographer fulfill our wedding dreams! The sneak peak of our wedding photos were amazing in which they allowed us to see at least 20 edited pictures the following day, we can't imagine how amazing all of the hundreds of other photos look like! If your looking for unique, fun, retro, modern, elegant, amazing wedding photos/video, look no further! BG productions is amazing at what they do and we were so honored to have them capture our day! Best money I have ever spent in my lifetime. We were so blessed to have them be a part of our day and more importantly our family! We love you guys so much!

Where do I even begin? My wedding planning process was anything but typical or easy. My mom was diagnosed with a rare cancer right as my husband and I were engaged and she insisted that we go forward with our plans. That made things extremely difficult and emotional for me, and I ended up doing everything on my own. I had no idea where to begin with anything and cried from stress frequently. Luckily my friend got married on NYE and BG productions did her photos and video. I absolutely fell in love with Cat and Al's enthusiasm, skills, and what seemed to be "undercover" photography. So my choice seemed obvious. We booked them shortly thereafter. I emailed Cat several times throughout the process and she always responded immediately and always with extremely helpful tips and advice. Because my husband and I live far away we didn't actually get to meet Cat and Al until 2 months before the wedding and all I can say is that I wish we could have done so sooner. I felt like they were are life long friends and they both eased my nerves in a way I cannot describe. After that meeting I actually felt like things were coming together. Then came wedding day. Well let me tell you Cat (and Al) saved me. They walked in the door as I was getting my hair and make up done which must have been fate because I started balling when I saw my hair. It was far from what I wanted. Cat came up to me and hugged me and encouraged me like she was my mother or sister. And Al told me how beautiful I looked after the hairstylist fixed my hair, which seems mundane but made me feel so secure. To top it all off, my mom loved them both. She and Cat hit it off talking about all the heirlooms and antiques at the house. My mom is still raving! We had such a great time laughing, crying, and dancing together with Cat and Al and I just wish we could hang out again!!! Maybe I will just do another photo shoot :) I cannot thank BG Productions enough and I highly recommend them!!

Cat and Al are amazing! We were so thank you to them for celebrating our special day with us. Not only are the photos absolutely beautiful, but their presence at the wedding made the day more enjoyable.The pair have a unique way of being there at all the right times to capture the most important moments with the candid shots. As we are certainly not models, they were able to direct us and make us feel comfortable being the center of attention. Throughout the entire process BG Production’s positivity and glowing personalities were always on display. The passion for their work is tangible. From day one, when we met Cat and Al they made us feel at ease. It was like we were old friends. Meeting a couple that we had such similarities with and such a touching love story was refreshing. Throughout the pre-wedding process BG Productions were always available to answer any questions that we had and always responded within a few hours. Their reliability and professionalism was greatly appreciated. The morning of the wedding, BG Productions were the first two people on site. Being early was on time for Cat and Al and we can’t tell you how much we appreciated that. As we knew we would get emotional, we asked for some of the photos of the two of us to be taken prior to the ceremony, which the two were more than willing to accommodate. It was amazing to see how BG Productions worked side by side and used the various items: the dress, shoes, bouquet, and rings. They always knew the perfect location for each shot to create an amazing look. When we had our “first look,” everyone was in position to capture that once in a lifetime moment. The feelings we had at that moment will never be forgotten and now we have the perfect photo and video to serve as a constant reminder of our love for one another. As we wanted to incorporate our dog, Cat and Al knew just how to get her attention – making a rambunctious dog look like a pro. During the reception not only did they take wonderful candid shots but participated in the various games and activities we had which only further displayed their fun-loving spirits. Cat and Al not only concerned with their work, but always took the time to make sure we were enjoying our day. It is amazing to see how BG Productions fit perfectly into the atmosphere. Since the wedding every conversation we have had with our guests has included multiple comments about how wonderful BG Productions was with numerous people asking for their contact information. Everyone was amazed at how talented BG was, as evidenced by the “sneak peak” that was provided. True to form Cat was right on top of it and our sneak peak was up in 24 hours…..AMAZING, who else would have done that? We can’t wait to see the others and are super excited to see Al’s talents on display in the video. Cat and Al, are such great people. You have made a positive impact on our new life together. We will always consider them friends. As long as they are still in the business, we hope that BG Productions will always be willing to capture all of our special memories. Some our fondest wedding memories will always include Cat and Al jumping in the photo booth, posing as super heroes with us, Al hula-hooping, Cat’s tears of joy. Truly consider using BG Productions for your special day. It was the best decision we could have ever made. Love, Sarah and Sean

Recommend, Recommend, Recommend. Cat, Colleen and Al are the best in what they do. Not only are they professional, creative and fun, they are sweet, caring and lovely. I found them through Off Beat Bride and right away I knew they were the ones! I contacted them and they got back to me right away. All the emails and communications have been super fast and easy to understand. Cat has so much experience in everything, she provided insight on timelines, weather, and people. Al is super sweet, easy going and awesome with his videography. While Colleen holds it down, helping both and being the second shooter, providing different angles for the photography. They helped with the planning, took control when I didn't want to and gave me hugs when I was feeling nervous. They really go above and beyond to make things happen, and keep the client happy. They are super fast, I got my mini album and photo booth photos 3 days later and I am in love with all of them. I can't wait to see the full album and video! Book them already! You won't regret it!

I found out about BG Productions on The Knots website. They had great reviews and their prices were very affordable. We had met with one or two other photographers, they seemed nice. But when we met Al and Cat at our coffee shop, my now husband and I were blown away. They were just the nicest genuine people EVER! Their portfolios and videos were so amazing, we got both! We met every so often to go over plans. Cat was very helpful and gave good advise. They sent us care packages with things to keep calm about a month or two before the wedding, just as all wedding problems came down on us. The day of the wedding, when I was feeling super anxious, they sent everyone out of the room and it was just the three of us. They made me feel so much better, and they got some amazing shots in! My husband and I received our photos yesterday and they really captured every single moment that day. I honestly don't know how to choose my favorite, they are all fantastic! They were on the dance floor part of the party, taking photos. I am amazed at our dancing shots. We had over 200 guests and I am pretty sure they captured all of them doing the Hora. I would absolutely recommend BG Productions to any one who needs a photographer. I want to thank Cat, Al, and Collen for making our day so memorable. We can't wait to see the video! Choosing BG Productions was one of the best decisions we ever made! Thank you again for everything! Daniella and Mark Wallace

Our vision was a fun, movie themed wedding, and we knew that Cathie and Al would be the perfect photographer and videographer to record our priceless memories. From our wedding bands on the Raisinets to our names on the marquee to our wedding party wearing 3-D glasses with popcorn, Cathie and Al spotlight our eventful wedding day exceptionally. We had such an amazing time, and, like most couples, our wedding went by so quickly. Whenever we want to relive our wedding, we look through our breath-taking photos, and watch our "hollywood" inspired video. Cathie and Al, not only capture our vision and our day perfectly, they have also given us the gift of these lifetime cherished memories.

If I could give Cat & Al 10 stars i would! They are the ultimate team, and were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Originally we were just going to do photography, but after seeing Al's work we had to get video too. BEST DECISION EVER! We just got our video yesterday and watched it- it was incredible and brought us back to our wedding day! Cat captured our day perfectly, the pictures are amazing and there are so many to choose from! Not only is Cat awesome at photography but she could double as a wedding coordinator, she kept us organized the entire day with time and directed us with everything--the day went so smoothly! I cant wait to use them for future events, I wouldn't want to celebrate any important event in our lives without them!
