Cate Batchelor Photography

handled my now husband and I and our family has been probably our best money spent! First things first, Cate went out of her way to get INCREDIBLE photos for our engagement session! I mean, they are actually breathtaking and she encouraged my (but really my husband’s) dreams of this gorgeous winery all the way up in Santa Barbara. She just got in the car, no questions asked and took some of the best photos of us. We’re probably getting them all on canvas because we legitimately cannot pick our favorite. Our wedding was a couple of months ago and we already have all our photos that I cannot stop looking at! The day went so well really in major part from Cate and her best friend and assistant on our day Alyss who also just wrangled our slightly difficult group of family and friends! I think, besides the alcohol, it was all Cate who helped me calm my nerves and my stress! You could even see behind the scenes of me just laughing with Cate and Alyss and hanging out (aka keeping me sane). Couldn't recommend her enough! Cate, welcome to the family, there's no getting rid of us now!

time to get to know us on a more personal level prior to choosing her, sitting down for coffee and looking through photo albums and taking about our vision. The photo galleries were ready on time and even gave us a 40 picture sneak peak 1 week after the wedding! She had a very natural day of "directing" us and love the "natural candid" vibe of all of our wedding pictures.

o work with and made sure my husband I am were comfortable behind the camera and having fun. I cannot stop looking at my wedding photos. I am absolutely blown away. Book her. You will not regret it.

watching her get excited about awesome shots, and truly enjoying what she does. In addition to an incredible photographer, she's also a BLAST to have around + has all the positive energy, is an organizational master, and source of peace in the midst of a crazy day. We never felt rushed, awkward, or uncomfortable, and knew we could count on Cate for perfect photos and support throughout our wedding planning + special day.
