Cate Ronan

she is one of the kindest people who brings her magic and humor into every interaction she has. She did an amazing job coordinating the timeline of our day and being flexible with the moments I wanted to capture. She went above and beyond working with our other vendors and our bridal party could not stop talking about how amazing she was to work with. I will recommend her to everyone and look forward to working with her again for our next big life moments!Okay

stpone our large wedding reception, but still had a small wedding with our family. We loved our engagement pictures that we knew we wanted to capture to our small intimate ceremony. The day of our small wedding it POURED all day, yet Cate made sure to capture all of our special moments. When my husband and I decided to have a large reception and vow renewal we knew it was a no-brainer to hire Cate to capture all those special moments as well. While we did not have rain on our vow renewal day it did snow. And our pictures could not be more perfect. Not only is she amazing at capturing special moments, she is hilarious and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. 80% of our pictures my husband and I are laughing because Cate makes sure you are having a blast. So rest assured rain, shine, or snow Cate will make sure your photos turn out perfect. You will be sorry hiring Cate on your special day.

her pictures but in the organization of everything. She helped us build and stay on top of our day-of schedule. She kept everything and everyone in line. Not to mention I'm obsessed with her images and will cherish them for the rest of my life. She is a breeze to work with and is overall such a great human being. Just book her ASAP!!!

important aspect of wedding planning to me, and Cate delivered above and beyond. With Cate, you get more than just her amazing photo skills - you get CATE. Her fun, kind personality immediately puts you at ease, and she takes the time to get to know what you're looking for and how she can help. Her expertise helped me create the PERFECT day-of timeline, and when the day finally came Cate totally rocked it at our wedding, making sure all my photography dreams came true. Thanks to her, we have stunning, one-of-a-kind photos (hello, night-time rain pics!) that captured our day in a way that's beyond what I could have imagined. Cate's a pro, a true artist, and an amazing person. You will not regret working with her, and you'll have incredible photos that you will forever treasure. I cannot say enough kind things about her and her work. The best! *Cate also did our engagement photos and a pre-wedding boudoir shoot. Both of these I HIGHLY recommend. By wedding day, my husband and I were comfy in front of the camera and knew that we were in the BEST hands.

he planning process. She and her team are genuinely thrilled to capture your special moments and their positive energy on the day of the event is contagious! Natalie Rice Owner & Lead Planner Natalia’s Event Planning

such a joy to work with! We felt so comfortable and at ease for both sessions. She captures every detail and nothing feels posed or fake. We love our photos and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We will continue to use Cate for our upcoming life events. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a truly magical experience!

on which were a few weeks apart. We had many, many, many changes throughout our wedding planning process, from a one year COVID postponement to uncertainty about wedding size, to a last minute decision to both elope & have a reception, and Cate was there to support us through all of that, offering advice and being totally flexible with our changes. She is incredibly easy to work with, so much fun, and insanely talented. During our elopement, it was just the three of us (Cate, my partner, and I) and it was not in any way weird at all to share our intimate day with her. We did a sunrise hiking elopement in CO (where we live) and Cate met up with us at 3:30 AM to get the day going. The day lasted quite a bit longer than any of us were anticipating (turns out it is reallllyyy hard to get changed quickly on a mountain when it is 30 degrees outside before the sun comes up) and Cate was SO chill and put no pressure on us to rush things along. Honestly, Cate enhanced our elopement day and made it so special and fun. On top of that, she shared sneak peeks with us THE SAME DAY, even though we had all hiked for 12 hours starting at the crack of dawn and were totally dead tired. For our larger reception, Cate helped the day move along smoothly and worked with us to build in time to make things feel more relaxed. Everyone in our wedding party commented on how freaking amazing and fun Cate was and how relaxed she made everyone feel. Hiring Cate was 10/10 the best decision we made for our multiple wedding days (aside from actually getting married) & I wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

e was also there to help calm down nerves, fix dresses, and dance the night away with us. She also had a photo booth set up that was a huge hit! Definitely using cate in the future for all our photo needs!

el SO comfortable in front of the camera and she will genuinely make you laugh. She’s the freakin best. I promise. I couldn’t be more excited for her to shoot our wedding!

e day. Whether it was location, details, certain moments, she was on it. It was so nice to relax and enjoy the moment, knowing she had it covered. When she sent the gallery of our day, my jaw dropped and I got warm fuzzy feelings because you could SEE the happiness and joy I felt on that day, captured forever in our wedding pictures. I seriously feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer. Not only is she beyond talented, she’s an incredible person. My family adored her and she was so easy to get along with! You won’t regret booking her for your wedding, family photos, anything at all that you need photographed!

hotos is on another level! I was blown away at how amazing our photos turned out for our engagement session, and I can't wait to see how our wedding photos turn out! Bottom line, if you want fantastic photos: BOOK CATE RONAN!!

ork with and very enthusiastic! Our photos turned out awesome!!! We can’t wait for her to do our wedding!

awkward at any point. 🤓 She also embraced our personalities and brought those out even more. And to top it off, she was so kind and flexible and understanding and responsive and wonderful. Seriously, the greatest. Use her NOW!

kind she is also very professional and timely. I would 100% recommend! She is the best!

sive. And her pictures are incredible (which, let's face it, matters the most)!!! She is great at capturing the emotions and the special details of the day. Plus, she is communicative and responsive, and she was also very organized. I couldn't have chosen better :-)

ng our wedding day. Then, when we literally couldn't have asked for her to be any more amazing - she sent us the most beautiful preview of our photos before we got up the next morning AND our full gallery actually left us speechless. Cate will take the most gorgeous and meaningful photos of your big day, not missing a single detail. And she will also make your wedding day less stressful, more fun, and be the most incredible addition to your vendors. Hands down, she was the most memorable vendor we had - in a GREAT way. All of our guests loved her, we're still getting compliments on the photos (DUH) but also how much fun she was during our wedding. Hire Cate, seriously. She is a professional and puts so much thought and effort into her work, it's amazing to witness. Book her, let her do her thing, and you WILL NOT REGRET IT.

whole experience so lovely🥰 She and her sister helped made the day feel calm and relaxed while making sure things were going properly! We had both our engagement and wedding photos done with her and the photos are absolutely astounding💕

zing personality shows through her work. Several people recognized this at the wedding and approached me before the reception was even over to say how fantastic Cate is... People who she wasn't even directly shooting. They didn't have to see any of her photos to know that they would capture every special moment. My husband and I had so much fun working with her and she did everything in her power to cater to our exact needs. She worked with our budget and created a personalized plan for us in order to make things work and checked in on our wedding planning over the whole course of our engagement. I can't say it enough.... Cate is THE lady you want to work with. You will be forever thankful, just like we are.

Yea I got problems, that’s the Bridezilla in me BLING BLING, Cate solves em, that’s the Goddess in her YOU coulda had a great photoggggrapher, SO COMMITAL Helps you with your photos, more than just a little Most Photogs ‘spose to tell you when to say CHEESE Cate let’s you do your own thing. natural photos that don’t make you say O GEEZ Aaaaaaand that’s the sound of me callin her back! Other photographers are great but they ain’t Cate I’ll tell you straight to yo’ face Googled her while in the salon chair I gotta have her photograph my wedding, I DON’T CARE FRESH PHOTOS WITH THE BOMB LIGHTING! CATE IS GREAT, AND LISTEN HUNNY I AIN’T LYIN’ I knew I loved Cate's work as soon as I saw it. I quickly booked her for my 2020 wedding without knowing much more other than I loved the photojournalistic style of her work. My fiancé and I both hate photos. I was honestly dreading engagement pictures because I was certain we would look awkward. Cate was more than amazing. She gave us prompts that felt natural and made us feel so comfortable. I think we spent the entire session just laughing and being OURSELVES. She captured the essence of our relationship and I know i'll treasure these photos for a long time to come. I really can't say enough good things about Cate. Although we haven't had our wedding yet, I know those photos will be as amazing as our engagement session. Thank you, Cate! You are worth every penny and MORE. xoxo

l of our engagement photos and wedding photos (so far!) are very natural and clearly capture the love my husband and I share with each other. The first time we met Cate was at our engagement session. We had never done a “photoshoot” before, but Cate made us feel so comfortable and gave us many poses to try. Not to mention, she sent us SEVERAL sneak peek pictures THE SAME DAY!!! As for our wedding, Cate certainly did not disappoint. She busted her booty all day to make sure she captured everything my husband and I and our families wanted. Even though we were on a tight time frame, she still managed made the magic happen. Cate is extremely efficient and wastes no time! Again, she sent us so many sneak peeks within 48 hours of our wedding day. We are so thankful we had Cate to capture our love story; we will cherish our photos until the end of time.

t it looks and feels natural and that’s why I love working with Cate. She’s so creative and fun. She’s spontaneous and professional at the same time. I can’t wait to work with her again!

knew I wanted to book her, and our first chat with her completely sealed the deal - my partner and I even decided to change our wedding date to book her and have ZERO regrets. We recently did our engagement shoot with her and were super nervous because we’re kinda shy & awkward but Cate made us feel so relaxed. Her prompts are super helpful & fun, and helped us get comfortable in front of the camera. My biggest fear was that our awkwardness would make the photos seemed staged and fake, and this was in NO way the case with our photos thanks to Cate’s direction and serious photo magic skills. Cate sent us sneak peaks of our photos the next day, and the full album after two weeks and I honestly can’t stop looking at them - they are perfect! Aside from her fab photography skills, Cate is incredibly communicative and super helpful in giving recommendations for other vendors. She’s also a fun and engaging person, so really you can’t go wrong. Cate is 100% the best decision we made for our wedding (even though it hasn’t happened yet I have full confidence in this statement). Book her now - you will have no regrets!!

great to work with. From day 1, when I reached out to her, I knew I had made the best choice for our wedding. Her communication was always great, and everything was just easy, even with her being out of state. Her personality is amazing, she makes you feel completely comfortable (will play Lizzo, if needed) and she is just a truly genuine and talented person. She even sent a whole sneak peek album THE SAME NIGHT OF THE WEDDING!! Everyone who has seen the sneak peeks have complimented on her amazing job, and we can't wait to see the rest. I can't recommend Cate enough, she is the best and you will not be disappointed!

wait to be able to recommend Cate to anyone who asks! ♥️

minute engagement session and our big day. She played our favorite, Vance Joy, as she shot, and the morning of the wedding- she had prepared a survival pack of Tums, bobby pins, medicine, and ANYTHING a stressed bride could think of needing. Not only is she a phenomenal photographer, but she has a hilarious and amazing personality that so many of our guests commented on. It shines through her work. Cate was so genuinely invested in our big day and I get butterflies every single time I look at any of our photos. There are no words to describe how impressive her skills are- she is truly a natural! This girl lives and breathes for photography and I would book her a thousand times. My dad works in the printing business and was so impressed with her, he printed a SEVEN foot poster of a shot she took for us to put on display at our wedding. I cried. My husband, who HATED the idea of getting photographed, admitted immediately after seeing our photos.. "Okay. This is badass. She is amazing." No words!!! Cate went above and beyond- working with our budget, sending a surprise Starbucks gift card the morning of the wedding, and twerking to Thotiana at the request of my bridal party during our shoot. Best. Human. Ever... A beautiful soul. She truly played such a big part in making our wedding day a fairy tale, and I can't wait to pull out our wedding photos every year for the rest of our lives and look back on the beauty. She's going to take this business far. We love you, Cate!!

ure me to use her, but I knew I wanted her to be our photographer before I even had a wedding to plan! I hate getting my picture taken and I felt really awkward, but she made sure to make us feel comfortable. I am so happy I booked her and can't wait for our wedding day because I know our pictures are going to be incredible!

on is great! She came out for our engagement shoot (we’re out of state) and she scoped out amazing spots! She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. We got a ton of sneak peeks the same day of the shoot. It was so great. The pictures turned out phenomenal - people compliment them all the time. I cannot WAIT for Cate to come back out to shoot our wedding, plus she’s just an awesome human to be around.

xed experience. Cate sent us sneak peeks of our engagement photos only an hour after we left which was so impressive. Our photos show genuine smiles and laughter and that is all I wanted! I am so happy with how our photos turned out and even happier that we chose to work with Cate!

out of our shells and capture the true love between us. She found the perfect location for us to take our photos and is even willing to wait and venture out when it snows to take the rest of them. We couldn’t have picked a better photographer and I know that our wedding photos are going to be exceptional!

ship which, normally we would tone down in-front of others but with Cate she pulled our most genuine selves out to capture the most candid and authentic photos. She is easy to talk to and relate to and how can you not enjoy being around someone so driven and passionate about what the do? It really felt like she loved the photos as much as we did and I seriously can't brag about her enough. Our engagement session was amazing and I have full faith that our wedding photos are going to surpass any expectations that I have. CATE IS THAT GOOD. Don't worry I will write another review raving about her again after the wedding so stay tuned.

made us all comfortable and told us exactly what to do. She went above and beyond as far as time and return time on pictures. She us extra time for no reason other than she loves what she does and cares about her clients, and we received our pictures within a couple of days. Cate even made goodie bags for the kids! We had such a good time, despite our nerves, and I look at our pictures every few days because I love them so much. They made great Christmas presents, too. The whole family loved them. I wouldn’t see anyone else but Cate!

during our photo shoot. You will not be disappointed with your final product! Can’t wait for more amazing photos from her at our wedding in May!

easy and comfortable as possible. My other half and I are not typically comfortable in front of a camera, but she put us completely at ease and our pictures speak for themselves. She caught who we are on film and I couldn't be more grateful. I can't wait to have her capture our wedding day and feel like I'll be going to her for any photography needs in the future.

just puts so much care into her clients. We were supposed to have our photos taken on a Friday and some clouds started rolling in in the afternoon. Instead of just keeping the appointment, she rescheduled and was diligent about keeping an eye on the perfect weather for us. She has an eye for capturing the most perfect moments that really describe each couple. I couldn't be happier with our shoot and the entire experience. Not to mention, she has the awesome timeline that she'll send to your email for those brides who just don't know where to go next (like me). I'm so so excited for her to take my wedding pictures and basically every other event that happens in my life. Just HAVE HER TAKE ALL OF YOUR PICTURES, okay?! You seriously won't be sorry :)

many cant express and translate that passion as well as Cate. I cannot recommend her enough. Our gallery will be treasured for life!! Thank you Cate!!

y. She made us feel comfortable, and gave us poses that felt natural. We had a blast at our shoot, and I had no idea how fun it was actually going to be. On top of all of this, our photos were more amazing than we ever expected! Cate is bubbly, a great communicator, and so beyond talented! We highly recommend!

having our pictures taken. Great skills and a beautiful soul allow her to capture the joy of the moment!

nd our wedding I can not stop looking at them. Every picture I look at is like I'm reliving that moment. She captured all the laughs and tears and love on our wedding day. I never imagined someone being able to capture that many emotions but she did it. If I could go back in time and do it all over again I would book Cate every single time.

a, and then meeting with her shortly after our engagement I saw how passionate and professional she was about her work. Meeting with her was so easy, it was like talking with an old friend over coffee. I was able to tell her exactly what we wanted out of our photography with ease. I wanted someone who could show our dynamic as a couple through a simple photo, and she was our gal for that! I absolutely loved our engagement photos and I love our wedding photos even more. We had Catie for nearly the entire day for our wedding and there are so many beautiful moments and memories she captured for us that day. She is a true artist!!

ng working with her easy and fun. The images that she captures and the photographs she creates are nothing short of breathtaking - she seriously does not disappoint!

zing work & I cannot wait to see how amazing our wedding pictures will turn out! I would give more than 5 stars if I could 😊

surroundings and lighting. She has the ability to scope out the best shots while catching all the candid moments in between. We were beyond pleased with the session and the final product. I cannot wait to see her vision come to life with our future sessions.

and poses! I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.

awkward (as some pictures can be) it was natural and beautiful. She edited our pictures in a timely and flawless manor. Anyone is lucky to have Cate as your photographer. Her photos speak a thousand words!
