About This Vendor
Photos that feel like your memories
I am here for YOU GUYS. On the best day ever you really need someone in your corner. I look out for candid moments, I make sure you don't have a hair chilling in your face, and I want to get the best shots for your gallery. I don't believe in stiff poses and forced moments. I believe in recording the day as it unfolds naturally. I can be super discrete or paparazzi but either way, I record those memories exactly how you remember them. I record stuff you didn't even feel was big at the moment but what I knew would be HUGE for you to have after all. I have your best interest in mind and really just want my couples to have the best experience and photos when it is all said and done. ✨

We had an incredible experience working with Cate on our wedding day. Somehow she literally captured every single emotion from our day and it’s like she read my mind throughout the day. Whether it was location, details, certain moments, she wa...
s 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!
Cate worked extraordinarily hard to capture our engagement and wedding in a way that my wife Jenna & I will cherish forever
My experience with Cate was AMAZING!! I was very nervous about being comfortable in front of the camera, but Cate made the experience very fun and stress free. The quality of her photos is on another level! I was blown away at how amazing our p...
hotos 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!!
Cate was amazing. My fiancé and I are very awkward when it comes to pictures and she made it so easy to be comfortable and just have fun with our photos. She was a lot of fun to work with and very enthusiastic! Our photos turned out awesome!!!...
We can’t wait for her to do our wedding!
Cate was AMAZING! Her photos were so incredibly beautiful and perfect in so many ways. But more than that, she made us feel so comfortable. She made us laugh and not feel horribly 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!
I am so thankful to have came across Cate's work. All of her photos are extremely gorgeous! My fiancé and I had the best time during our photoshoot. Not only is Cate super fun and kind she is also very professional and timely. I would 100% reco...
mmend! She is the best!
Cate is amazing! She has great energy, and she has that perfect balance between being directive enough to keep things on track at your wedding while still being incredibly unobtrusive. And her pictures are incredible (which, let's face it, ma...
tters 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 :-)
One of the BEST parts of our wedding was having Cate as our photographer, no joke. Not only was she amazing to work with beforehand, but she was also a literal dream come true during 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.
Cate and her sister were absolutely amazing, having an artist who takes the time to make sure her couples are happy and comfortable while getting to know their back story made the 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💕
Cate Ronan is an angel- If there is one thing to spend money on for your wedding, or any occasion, it's Cate. She finds and captures the beauty in absolutely everything and her amazing personality shows through her work. Several people recogniz...
ed 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.

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
LISTEN. Cate is simply incredible. Not only is she easy to talk to, work with, and be around, she has an incredible talent for photography and is truly invested in her business. All 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.
We’ve done done a couple mini sessions with Cate. She is wonderful to work with. She makes me feel comfortable and confident and no weird, unnatural poses! It’s important to me that 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!
I wish I could give Cate more than 5 stars! We booked Cate for our engagement shoot & wedding (in 2020), and could not be happier with our decision. As soon as I saw Cate’s work, I knew I wanted to book her, and our first chat with her complete...
ly 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!!
Cate is absolutely amazing! I am so, so glad I chose her for our wedding day. She traveled to Denver (for engagement pics too!) and her and her sister (second shooter) were so great to work with. From day 1, when I reached out to her, I kn...
ew 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!
Cate was so pleasant for me to work with the whole way through she truly wants her clients to be happy. The eye, ideas, and quality of her photos were perfect and modern. I can’t wait to be able to recommend Cate to anyone who asks! ♥️
Cate was hands down one of the best possible decisions we could've made for our wedding day. From the start, she was so receptive and made us feel SO calm throughout both our last minute engagement session and our big day. She played our favori...
te, 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!!
Cate took our engagement pictures and is our photographer for our wedding as well. From the start she was amazing. She responds to any questions in a timely manner and didn't pressure me to use her, but I knew I wanted her to be our photographe...
r 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!
Cate is absolutely amazing! From the moment I connected with her I knew I had made the right choice for our wedding photographer. Everything has been seamless and her communication is great! She came out for our engagement shoot (we’re out o...
f 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.
Cate was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to work with. I have never been a fan of getting pictures taken because it makes me feel uncomfortable but Cate was able to make it such a fun and relaxed experience. Cate sent us sneak peeks of our engagement photo...
s 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!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Cate did an amazing job with our engagement pictures! Her sense of humor along with her EXCELLENT photography skills allowed us to break out of our shells and capture the true love between us.
She fo...
und 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!
I recommend Cate to anyone and everyone that I come across who is getting married. Her aesthetic is so unique and personality is absolutely amazing. Zac and I have a goofy relationship which, normally we would tone down in-front of others but w...
ith 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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
THANK YOU! These reviews are seriously making me freaking cry. You and Zac were awesome and seriously naturals. Come wedding day, you guys are going to SLAY. 🔥
We got family photos done this Fall, and the finished product was so perfect, I actually cried. None of us were very experienced with getting professional pictures taken, but Cate made us all comfortable and told us exactly what to do. She wen...
t 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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
Ahhh Hayley, thank you! You and Cody were amazing and were awesome to photograph. You guys and the kids were so fun and I am so happy I got to take your photos in 2018. 🌈
Cate was amazing! She worked with us around the Holidays to make sure we could get our engagement photos taken as soon as possible. She is easy to work with and we actually had fun 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!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
You are amazing! Your wedding is soooo close and I'm so excited to see you and Michael again! You and your session was a BLAST. ❤️
Cate has been a dream to work with. From inquiry to getting our engagement pictures back, she has been super personable and invested in her work. She makes every step of the way as easy and comfortable as possible. My other half and I are not t...
ypically 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.
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
UGH! You are amazing. Making me cry in a coffee shop right now...in front of people. You and Alex were so flippin' fun and your wedding is going to be such a fun day. 🌻
I don't even know where to start. Cate was seriously amazing from start to finish. From booking our engagement shoot to meeting at Caesar's Creek, she made everything so easy. She just puts so much care into her clients. We were supposed to hav...
e 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 :)
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019

YOU GUYS ARE PERFECT! So so fun and in love, you both are. I am so excited to explore Ireland with you both. 🇨🇮
Our experience with Cate was perfect! We were a bit nervous before the shoot because it was our first time having professional photos taken, but Cate eased all our nerves right away. She made us feel comfortable, and gave us poses that felt nat...
ural. 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!

Yassss! You and Alan are cuteness GOALS. For real, your gallery makes me all giddy. Your wedding day is gonna be ah-mah-zing. ✨

Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
Thank you, Christi! SO happy to be taking photos of you and your family, two years later. ❤️
I don't think there are enough words to describe how amazing Cate is. Not only is she an amazing person, the pictures she takes are breath taking. She did our engagement pictures and our wedding I can not stop looking at them. Every picture I l...
ook 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.
Response from the Vendor on 09/26/2018
OKAY. I'M CRYING. Thank you guys!! 😭
We absolutely loved Catie! I'll be honest, at first I was partial to her anyway since my husband and I both went to school with her. After seeing her work first hand on social media, 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!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
YAY! Thank you so much you two. Seriously such a fun wedding during my 2017 year! 💘
Cate has an exceptional creative eye and such a captivating, unique perspective. Her excitement for her work is inspiring and her warmth and charm put you immediately at ease, making working with her easy and fun. The images that she captures a...
nd the photographs she creates are nothing short of breathtaking - she seriously does not disappoint!
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
Thank you, Rhiannon!!!! SO happy I get to photograph you guys. ☾
Cate is one of the best photographers I have met. She’s so outgoing & spunky! She made my fiancé & I feel so comfortable during our shoot. She made it so much fun too. She does amazing work & I cannot wait to see how amazing our wedding picture...
s will turn out! I would give more than 5 stars if I could 😊
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
Ahhh, thank you, Makenzie! SO honored getting to photograph The Swords!! 🎉
Cate was at the location scoping out the area when we arrived for our session. She was so friendly and personable that we were immediately at ease. She was constantly aware of our 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.
Cate made my husband and I so comfortable during our very first shoot together. She answered my 900 pre-shoot questions, gave me honest advice and showed up with really good ideas and poses! I’ll definitely book with her again in the future.
Where do I begin... she was a delight to work with. She allowed my fiancé and I to be ourselves and she positioned herself to get the perfect shot. We didn’t feel uncomfortable or 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!
Cate is seriously the sweetest! Oh, and a bomb diggity photographer too ;)
Cate will take anyone and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has a unique and creative vision on top of her awesome work ethic. She truly cares to have her clients' personalities come through her photos and takes her time ma...
king sure to get the perfect shots. I promise her prices are worth it and I recommend her to EVERYONE. If you are getting married, you will regret not going to Cate because she will capture all the little details that seem to fly by on your wedding day.
Oh my... I don't even know where to start (or stop)... We, a couple from Amsterdam - the Netherlands, were celebrating our anniversary in New York, where we met up with Cate at 5.30am to start our session with a beautiful sunrise at Coney Islan...
d. After that we basically moved around through some of New York's most photogenic places. Although it was a 100 degrees, she was unstoppable! Cate is not only a highly talented and maybe even under appreciated photographer, she also is the funniest and biggest sweetheart in the world. She made us feel at ease, nothing was awkward and she really captured us the way we are. The way our love is. Pure and authentic, with lots of fun. And a big plus: she knows all the tricks in the book to get spontaneous and sincere emotions AND (girls pay attention, this one is very important for us:) she knows all your best angles. Let this girl do her thing and you will end up with something you will cherish for the rest of your life. She made our anniversary so incredibly special and memorable, the photo's really took our breath away. And being wedding photographers ourselves, we are not the least critical clients a photographer can have. But there honestly is nothing we didn't love about this shoot. She was worth every penny (and more!) and if we had to do it all over again, we would choose her every time. So don't hesitate to book her, you will definitely not regret it!
Dearest Cate, again a big (and extended) THANK YOU for the way you captured us and travelling all the way to NYC, you made our trip so much more special than it already was and now we have the pictures to prove it. :) Don't waste your gift, your unbelievable talent, and go out and make a lot more couples as happy as you made us. This is what your were born to do! And be sure to let everyone see & know it! Just like Maybelline, YOU'RE WORTH IT! Lots of love, Heidi & Ritchie
Response from the Vendor on 01/04/2019
Thank you, Heidi! I seriously had the best time with you guys and I CAN NOT wait until we can meet up again, hopefully in your country this time. 😉 So glad we stayed friends!
