Cait Patton Photography

Welcome friend, I am so excited you're here! I can't wait to create something beautiful with you, just as I have for dozens of others before. I am based in Chesterfield VA, and have since branched into northwestern NC, now with a second shooter, Cade! I started my journey with a 2009 camera and a dream. My inspiration started with my sister in law's wedding in 2022. From 2022-2024, I dedicated my soul to building an honest foundation to my business. Learning (and upgrading) my gear, going through mentorships, perfecting my style, and building my portfolio.  Photography has always pulled on my heart. There's something so incredibly special and fulfilling about pausing moments in time, intentionally highlighting the honest, true, deeper details for you that keeps my passion blazing. A passion that formed my business, valuing honesty, fun and putting you and your vision first, even while still working my full-time role in Information Technology. I have been so blessed to have grown and met so many wonderful faces through 2025 and booking up in 2026 already. I am excited to meet you, get to know you, and become part of your journey as you become part of mine.

I’m Cade, a of friend Cait’s, and now second photographer working alongside her for weddings, brining another to modern love stories. I’ve always had a camera nearby, and I took photography classes during my college years, since then my creative eye has blended naturally with my love for car culture, where the majority of my photography started, aside from a few proposals/engagements and my wonderful girlfriend’s portraits. I’m based in North Carolina, where I balance a full time job and creating in my free time at local car meets, or spending time with my girlfriend, who also enjoys photography. I'm drawn motion, moments of adrenaline rush and anticipation, and the personalized details each person puts into their cars/builds. Similar emotions and details are incorporated and planned into weddings, all things that secretly tell you about the connection and personalities. My plans for my own photography are more centered around the car community; I enjoy being able to vibe and flow with the energy and fun that plays out. Which is why I was eager to express my interest in offering to be a second shooter for Cait when she mentioned it. Having the direction from a strong photographer and lead is a happy-medium for me, creating space where I can still bring my energy and creativity to the table, vibing with the play-by-play of weddings. It just felt like an opportunity I didn’t want to pass on, getting the space to expand my work, knowledge and creativity through learning a different side of the industry.  What’s even cooler is being able to support another talented, strong-minded photographer and confidante in collaborating with Cait. I am very grateful for the time, resources, and kindness to guide me in the second photographer role. I am ready to hit the ground running, and super excited, taking on the organized chaos of wedding photography, and creating connections with the couples; being an important piece of the wedding day to have special sentiments to hold on to.
