Catherine Lea Photography

s you at ease and directs you through the whole thing. I love how we have so many raw, natural shots in our collection and the photos don’t look forced or overly posed. We originally picked Catherine because we love the way she edits photos and doesn’t just put a generic filter over each one. I was so happy by how vibrant our photos are and how she captured my dream mountain wedding. Everyone told me: spend the money on hiring a great photographer, the pictures are the one keepsake from the day. And it’s so true. I’ve looked through our album about a dozen times and I’ll forever cherish how she captured our day.

red. She has an amazing eye for lighting and angles. She is funny, talented, and very easy to work with. All of our guests were so impressed with the photos from our wedding. You absolutely need Catherine and Dani on your wedding day!

nt photos for us, was fantastic to work with throughout our COVID postponement and her photos from our wedding day blew us away. Catherine is professional, fun, talented, kind and capable - her photos are gorgeous and I couldn't be happier with them. Go with Catherine and you will not be disappointed!

ll the post processing/editing. I have been torn on writing this review but thought it's right to share: Great: - One of the things that drew me to her in the first place was editing style, and I was really happy with how the photos were edited. - Associate photographers were both really friendly and easy to work with on the day of. - I got a preview package maybe 2 weeks after the wedding, and it was great to get to see some early before the final delivery. - Appreciated their help in assisting with building out the day's schedule. Not great: - I mentioned several times that we'd be going to Chautauqua Park for group photos from the venue (initial interview, day-of schedule build out, etc). The day-of photographers were not aware of this and said we needed a permit to shoot photos there. That was never mentioned to me prior, and it caused chaos on wedding day. - A small block of photos were not delivered in the final package. My husband thought there were some missing from the guys getting ready room, so I followed up and asked, and she was able to locate. Had he never mentioned anything, I wouldn't have noticed they were missing. - I had sent 3 "inspo" photos at the same venue noting that I wanted them duplicated. We didn't end up getting those, so if you want anything specific, I'd just make sure you make it happen day of (or notify your day-of coordinator to help).

tographer is a huge choice (and investment) and I would recommend Catherine to anyone.

hiring her for your big day!!

oved working with her! We received our sneak peek pictures during our honeymoon and I teared up clicking from one picture to the next. She perfectly captured the love, happiness, and positive energy from our wedding in every image. My husband and I always say we feel so awkward posing in front of cameras but Catherine made us feel extremely comfortable and as if we had been friends for years. We can’t wait to work with Catherine in the future for many many more occasions!!

single time. We only moved our dates to make sure Catherine could do that date because she was SO important to us. The wait was SO worth it and Catherine did a phenomenal job! She is so knowledgable on photography and weddings and just kills it. She can wrangle bridal parties together and everyone absolutely loved her. She makes you feel like family and so special. Could not have asked for anyone better to capture our day. Her work is something we will cherish for the rest of our lives and we are SO lucky to have had Catherine apart of our day. She is absolutely amazing!

e also allows you to savor the small moments with your spouse. 100/10 would recommend her to anyone wanting magical photos for any occasion.

otos and large backdrops. We were looking for someone to capture the stunning Collegiates mountains of Colorado and special moments throughout the day. Catherine was such a joy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured everything we were looking for from our first look, to portitates of family and friends, the ceremony, and reception. We cannot wait to order our coffee table book! If you have the opportunity to work with Catherine we cannot recommend her highly enough.

day of, she let me be the control freak that I am while also providing guidance on posing when we needed it. We only had 20 people at our wedding and I am lucky to count her among them. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and were such a great value at her price point.

celed and we moved the wedding to Laguna Beach, CA. Without hesitation, Catherine booked a flight and was there for our wedding. She even brought her husband as a second shooter! I have never met someone so kind, professional, sweet, and awesome. She went above and beyond for us and made us feel so comfortable. She worked SO hard all day and I can’t wait to see the beautiful pictures. She is patient (especially with family photos) and made the day so fun and easy. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone and I am so grateful that I found a photographer who was able to capture our vision perfectly and who has the sweetest and most beautiful soul. Thank you Catherine and Johnny for being such a big part of our wedding day. Forever grateful xoxo

ing people’s wedding plans, Catherine was so helpful on making sure to make our day happen! We got married in Vail, Colorado & decided to camp and have a nice dinner on the mountain tops! Catherine captured every moment and detail of our small intimate mountain escape! The pictures are to die for & screams boho aesthetics with her editing and color skills. We had our pictures in 6 weeks, & her pricing in unreal in comparison to others. She is extremely flexible & easy going. My husband hates getting pictures taken of him & he was so comfortable around them that he actually enjoyed having pictures taken that day ( thank goodness haha) We Had Catherine and her husband stay the night in one of our tents and got to hang out around the campfire with my wedding party and family & I have never felt more of friendship of a vendor than Catherine and her husband! PLEASE.. don’t hesitate and hire her!

met her in person, I wouldn’t have it any other way. The pictures are worth a thousand words ❤️

are in LOVE with our pictures! We did sunset photos and started and ended at the perfect time. My fiance and I were nervous because we had never done photos before and weren't sure what to expect. Catherine sent an engagement photo guide way ahead of time that answered all of our questions and made us feel much more comfortable going into it. On top of that, she has such a warm personality and was so laid back. She made us feel like we could totally be ourselves during the shoot and we had so much fun. We highly recommend her for anyone wanting photos in the greater Denver area! We guarantee you will not be disappointed if you choose Catherine!

wedding gallery, she has remained responsive & professional- Working with her was so pleasurable. You don't realize how much time you really do spend with your photographer on your wedding day, so its important to get along, relate and see eye to eye and Catherine was exactly that. Such a joy to be around in both my engagement shoot & wedding day. The best part? Our wedding photos of course! All beautiful and brought tears to our eyes ! Choosing a good photographer is so important, and with there being so many out there it can seem like a struggle to find someone you can trust to capture one of the best days of your life. Stop looking now & reach out to Catherine Lea Photography! Thank you so so much Catherine!!!

ve ideas. She made us feel very comfortable, at ease and supported on the day of our wedding. We could not be more thrilled with the outcome of our photos. They are stunning, and truly captured the emotions and aesthetic of our day. We highly recommend Catherine Lea Photography! You will not be disappointed.

emotions of the wedding party and the guests. She was great to work with - on time for everything and on time with deliveries! Our engagement photos turned out great as did our wedding photos! She surprised us with a preview a couple days after the wedding and then was flexible in delivering a few family photos early to accommodate parent requests for Christmas cards. You should book Catherine - you will not regret it.

gement pictures are. I haven't stopped gushing about them, and I have gotten so many compliments. She is absolutely amazing and I would (and DO) recommend her to anyone and everyone! We haven't had out wedding yet, but I know we are in the best hands with Catherine. I have had friends get married and use subpar photographers, and I know that is not at all the case with us. She is so sweet and responds quickly. I even sent her my outfits beforehand to figure out if I was doing this whole thing right. She has been so supportive and amazing through our wedding planning process. She is worth literally EVERY PENNY!!! I can't wait to write another review after our wedding in April :)

ed such beautiful moments throughout our wedding and I could not be more excited. She values and is passionate about her work, and it clearly shows. We loved having her be a part of our big day, and would book and recommend her over and over again!!

essional with personable and will make even someone as introverted as me to feel comfortable in front of a camera. For me, the photographer was my most important vendor at my wedding, because she would capture all of the moments I would want to reflect back on for the rest of my life. I am so glad I chose Catherine because I now have 900+ beautiful photos of all of the best moments of our wedding (not including all of the awesome engagement photos that were included with our wedding package). Picking Catherine for our photographer was the best decision we made for our wedding, and I would recommend her to any other bride.

knot, then we met her for coffee in Denver! After the meeting, we knew it was going to be a perfect fit. She was professional and responsive in the months leading up to the wedding, and killed it on our big day. It’s amazing how involved your wedding photographer will be on that day, it’s something I didn’t understand until we got married. Catherine was calm and direct, but also so friendly and fun! It almost felt like she was an additional wedding planner, but with the task of capturing our day. We just got our photos back (in the timeframe we were told) and we are obsessed. Like absolutely in love with them. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

id a sunrise shoot for us the day of our rehearsal (which helped calm our photo nerves 😊) and killed it on the big day. Weddings are amazing but they’re also kind of stressful. Catherine was calm and kind, but also kept everyone on schedule and organized, getting us all the shots we wanted even without her second shooter. Her second shooter got stuck in a storm and had to deal with cancelled flights! That didn’t even rattle her. Catherine is an amazing photographer but her role felt so much bigger than that on our wedding day. She also felt like a close friend. If you have the chance to book her for anything - do it!

We love Catherine and you will not regret having her capture your memories :)

the shoot, she was so friendly, and we had a blast just being us! For our wedding day, we had her associate, Allison, who was equally as friendly and talented. Allison made sure to get the specific shots I asked for ahead of time, and made everyone feel comfortable. She had my family shot list printed out so our family photos went so smoothly! A huge rain storm came through right before our ceremony, so we moved it inside. She calmed my nerves and was so sweet. The skies opened up and we moved everything back outside, and she was out helping wipe off chairs from the rain! She was always around when someone asked her to take a picture. Looking at my wedding pictures is like reliving the best day of my life! Catherine and Allison are simply amazing!

our wedding day. I found Catherine through social media and fell in love with her photography style and talent. In a miracle, she wasn't booked on our wedding day- it was meant to be! Catherine was so easy to communicate with leading up to our big day, from working on a photo list to helping us organize our timeline. When it came to our big day, Catherine and her second shooter seamlessly covered our photo list while making everyone feel comfortable. My husband and I are not "picture people" so we worried that taking wedding pictures would feel forced- how wrong we were! Catherine effortlessly captured posed and candid moments between my husband and I that we will cherish forever. Despite some colder weather, Catherine was able to get the family, bridal party, and couples pictures that we wanted- even stealing us away for a quick golden hour session. there are no moments of our day that went uncaptured! We received our preview of pictures just days after our wedding. Even though we were on our honeymoon, we couldn't stop looking at our pictures. Within a few weeks, we received all of our wedding pictures and have enjoyed reminiscing on our wedding day with them ever since! One of the most incredible aspects to Catherine's photography is that the pictures perfectly capture the day just as we remember it- the best day of our lives! We are so grateful to have had Catherine as our wedding photographer and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

of what we wanted. We had so much fun working with her & luckily she knew exactly how to pose us, because we don’t know how to pose at all, haha! Our pictures were here quickly and they came out SO amazing. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Highly recommend.

rinted now! Catherine provides a very organized gallery that's super helpful as we go through the images. definitely recommend! :)

sband and I have no idea how to pose for photos so we needed some direction! Catherine told us how to stand, where to look, how to turn our heads, etc which we really appreciated! Everyone told us how great our photos turned out.

the moment we met at the hotel, Catherine made sure that the day was all about me and my husband. We felt truly special. He work speaks for itself . She captured every smile, every tear and every hand squeeze through our session. I love her so much that I will have to come to GA for our big celebration in a year.

d easy to work with. She delivered our gallery way sooner than I expected, and there were SO MANY great pictures to choose from. I am totally blown away, she captured the whole day perfectly. We were lucky to have her!

Thank you!

the next morning. We had never had professional photos done and they made it so easy and enjoyable! They truly captured the essence and emotions of the day and we're so grateful to have these memories in pictures!!

, and we are SO glad that she did!! She was punctual, had great spots in mind for pictures, and her sweet personality made us feel at ease. She easily guided our awkward selves through different poses, creating natural, romantic shots. Her work is beyond beautiful- we had such a hard time choosing and have received tons of compliments on our photos! We would highly recommend Catherine to anyone looking for an excellent photographer. Thanks again, Catherine! We absolutely love them and it’s been a joy working with you!

happy to photograph our wedding WHILE SHE WAS IN MEXICO FOR HER OWN WEDDING (talk about commitment to your job and caring about customers!!!). My husband and I don’t pose very well for serious pictures, so we were hoping that that wouldn’t be a problem. But Catherine made us feel so natural... taking pictures was actually a blast! We recently got all of our wedding photos back and they are amazing. People keep telling us how much they love our pictures, how beautiful everything looks, how it looks like they are photos from a magazine! We cannot thank Catherine enough for capturing the amazing details that made up our wedding day. We are so glad we have these photos that will last us a lifetime!

ence but Catherine was delightful, personable and super helpful. She was really thoughtful with suggested poses which was greatly appreciated because we had zero experience going in. We had a great time and have been giddy over the pictures since we got the gallery!

so it was a struggle trying to find the right photographer without meeting them first, but she made the whole process so easy. She offered to drive 1.5 hours included in her already amazing rate, we received the pictures so quickly, and we couldn't be happier! THANK YOU CATHERINE FOR EVERYTHING! <3

commodates all your needs as a bride. Highly recommend. Can't wait to have her take family photos for us next!!

d! I HIGHLY recommend her! I can't image not working with her on our BIG day!!

s a little piece of art! After meeting Catherine for coffee, I knew that she would be the one to photograph our wedding day. Communication was quick and easy with Catherine; she was super helpful in putting together the wedding day timeline & was willing to hear my ideas for the day/location of portraits. It was an absolute joy to have Catherine with me and my girls the morning of the wedding - she let us do our thing and captured sweet, sweet moments between my girls; my husband, Kyle, reported that Kristi, her second shooter for the day, was kind and fun to have around (she took some of the most jaw dropping photos of my guy getting ready!). Kyle and I had SO much fun during our first look and portraits; Catherine let us be ourselves (dancing, hugging, giggling) but also gave easy to understand directions, and made us feel like models in front of the camera. I could go on for a very long time about my appreciation of Catherine and her work... looking back through the photos of the day makes me grin with gratitude and overwhelming joy. Everything from the ceremony to the family portraits to the dance floor and mid-reception portraits were captured naturally and beautifully - more than we could have hoped for! Thank you, Catherine, for spending our favorite day with us, and giving us lovely memories to have for years to come!

sed with how comfortable she made us all feel during our session. She was especially great with the children and was able to get so many great shots in a short amount of time. I would definitely recommend Catherine Lea Photography for any of your photography needs. Catherine was able to capture the love of our family and I am forever grateful. THANK YOU!

turned out beautiful and very natural. I can't see my family using anyone else for future photos.

ially intimate moments with a stranger! But Catherine did not feel like a stranger at all and she was able to tell Jared and I exactly what to do and made us feel comfortable. My pictures turned out amazing and so many people have reached out to let me know how well they thought the pictures were! She listened to what I wanted and delivered! I couldn't recommend her more! Thank you Catherine!

they helped us stay on time and helped tell us when to walk during the ceremony. I especially love the barn photos! That was a great backdrop and the lighting looks great. They are really great at finding the best lighting and backdrops for spectacular photos. I am beyond happy I chose them to capture our special day!
