DeLine Photography - Cat DeLine

Every couple's wishlist photography team! As my wife and I are both vendors, choosing a photographer carried more weight than most, but DeLine Photography was the right choice and showed us that with every step of the process. My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Cat during the engagement shoot stage through our big day and now beyond. I was able to interact with her second shooter Ashley on our wedding day. Cat made us feel especially relaxed and most importantly, ourselves, with a taste of what to expect at our engagement shoot and then having that same experience on our big day! Photo upload not working, so feel free to check out our photos here: https://delinephotography.passgallery.com/-mrmrshutzler/gallery

Booking Cat as our June 2024 wedding photographer was the best decision we could have made! From day one, her incredible personality shines through and you’ll want to be (or think you already are) best friends with her by the end. She will always tell you to treat her photoshoots as a date night/day and she truly means it. She knows exactly what to say to make you feel comfortable, get a laugh out of you, or erase the awkwardness completely. Everyone in our bridal party couldn’t stop talking about how awesome she was! You can tell by Cat’s work that she truly cares about capturing your relationship, it’s not just about getting a pretty picture for her (even though they’re all gorgeous!). She wanted us to be ourselves and goofy and playful, which is exactly what we wanted in our pictures. Also not to mention, she went completely above and beyond on the wedding day and acted way more than just a photographer. She worked closely with all my vendors to make sure the day went off without a hitch and helped out with anything if she could. She was also my biggest hype woman and truly cared about all our family members and friends. I could go on and on about how gorgeous her photos were and how amazing of a person she is! I could not recommend her more and don’t know why anyone would ever choose another photographer over her!

This review is long overdue! I cannot express how amazing the whole Deline team is! My husband and I were nervous that our photos would look staged and not organic. We expressed this to Cat when we had our consultation and she went over how they get there natural/organic photos. Ashley was our photographer and she did an amazing job at our engagement photos and our wedding photos. At our engagement photos she perfectly captured our goober pup but more importantly we had so much fun walking around getting our photos taken! On our wedding day Ashley went above and beyond what I would expect a photographer to do. My husband almost passed out at the alter, and she helped get water, juice, and a cold towel to help him through it. She also rearranged the timeline for our family photos so we could just take a minute to sit with each other after the excitement from the ceremony. I know my husband appreciated the reprieve from the onslaught of family and friends teasing him. He is still embarrassed by the whole thing, but when we look at our photos he doesn’t even remember that part of the wedding, all he remembers is how happy he was during the whole day. She was amazing at getting our wedding party and family together for our photos too which honestly was like herding cats at times. Our photos are amazing and we have a wedding photo wall and an engagement photo wall. She perfectly captured our wedding vibes which were just laid back and fun.

Cat is the absolute best, most positive, talented, and hard working photographer! She photographed our wedding in Oct 2023 - Her communication was on point, her pictures were beautiful, and she kept the photo sessions, quick, fun, and easy. I can't recommend her enough. It was great to have her for our wedding and she has got to be one of the best talents in the VA Beach area. Hire her - you won't regret it!

Deline Photography is the best! We had Cat Deline as our photographer and she did such an amazing work with our wedding and engagement photos. We are so happy that we went with her ! If you are looking for fun, cool, outgoing, and brilliant person with the bonus of being a wonderful photographer- Cat Deline is definitely the person for you! XOXO Thank you, Cat!

We had such an amazing experience with Cat and Danielle! From the very start Cat was so lovely to work with. We really felt like she took the time to get to know us and took to heart what we felt was important. Cat went above and beyond, helping us with planning and spending extra time with editing. Because we aren’t local we met Danielle on the day of our wedding, but she made us feel so comfortable right away. We loved her and so did our guests. And the photos are absolutely amazing!! Danielle captured so much feeling and emotion and it’s exactly what we wanted. We can’t recommend DeLine Photography highly enough!

The DeLine team (especially Cat!) was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. We're so happy with our photos and Cat did such a great job of keeping us laughing and making the whole process feel natural. Plus, we brought our two pups with us and she was able to get the most adorable photos of them - no easy feat! We're so happy with our decision to use DeLine Photography.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Cat as our main photographer and Danielle as the secondary photographer for our wedding, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are for their exceptional work. From the very beginning of the wedding planning process to the final moments of our special day, Cat and Danielle were an extraordinary duo who listened, understood, and created stunning photographs that surpassed our wildest dreams. Right from our engagement photoshoot, Cat made us feel completely at ease. Her warm and friendly demeanor helped us relax in front of the camera, resulting in natural and genuine shots that beautifully captured our love and excitement. She effortlessly blended into the group during our rehearsal, and by the time the wedding day arrived, it felt like she was not just our photographer but also a cherished friend. During the planning phase, Cat's dedication and attention to detail were remarkable. She initiated a call even before we booked her services, showing genuine interest in getting to know us and our vision for the wedding. Throughout the process, she kept us informed via numerous emails and a detailed Zoom call, ensuring that all the little details were meticulously planned. Working with her was an absolute pleasure, as she exuded professionalism, expertise, and a clear understanding of our needs. On the big day, Cat and Danielle's dedication was evident in every moment. Despite unpredictable weather and crazy winds, they never faltered. They worked tirelessly to keep us on schedule, and their calming presence helped quell our nerves, making our wedding day even more special. During the first look and bridal/family photos, Cat's leadership and kindness shone through. She kept everyone on track, addressing any worries we had about the weather and ensuring every shot was picture-perfect. Cat and Danielle's teamwork was seamless, capturing the essence of every emotion and moment with incredible finesse. The ceremony pictures were truly exceptional, reflecting the love and joy that filled the air. They skillfully documented each significant moment, and the photos speak volumes of their talent and dedication. As the reception unfolded, Cat and Danielle blended in seamlessly, capturing candid shots that brought out the natural joy and celebration of the evening. The resulting pictures are nothing short of amazing, telling the story of our wedding day in the most breathtaking way. Cat's editing skills were evident in every photo. The candid shots were heartwarming, and her ability to capture the most magical moments left us in awe. The photographs themselves are a testament to Cat and Danielle's expertise and passion for their craft. In conclusion, we cannot recommend Deline Photography enough for their remarkable work. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was captured beautifully, and their ability to blend into the day while creating stunning photographs is truly commendable. If you are looking for photographers who will listen, understand, and create magical memories that will last a lifetime, Cat and Danielle are the dream team you've been searching for. Thank you both for being an integral part of our wedding day and giving us a treasure trove of cherished memories.

If I got married 100 more times in my life, I would hire Cat in every single one of those weddings. She is one of the most phenomenal people I have ever met. Her business is extremely professional, well organized, and takes care of everything! It was amazing to barely have to think about photography. They truly took care of everything. I had a wild idea for a crazy themed wedding and She. Understood. The. Assignment. It literally feels like she peeked inside my brain and saw the disorganized pinterest board of my wedding visions and made it beautiful, tasteful, and fun. I was lucky enough to get to work with Cat, Danielle, AND Ashley and each one of them was remarkably fun and talented. All of our photos came out better than I could have ever dreamed and perfectly captured the essence of the day in such a special way. I feel so lucky to have had Cat photograph our wedding, she truly is a creative visionary and wonderful person.

We knew finding the right photographer for our wedding was going to be one of the most important decisions we made because our wedding photos are what we will look back and cherish forever, but from the first moment we spoke to Cat we knew she was the one! Not only are her pictures absolutely beautiful but her talent in front and behind the lens is unmatched! Cat has a unique ability to make you feel so comfortable and feel like your best self all while having fun doing it! Not to mention her knowledge and understanding of weddings and how to help make your wedding day seamless was a game changer! Cat was constantly answering any question we had and giving us advice throughout our entire time leading up to our wedding day and we were so thankful we had her (and all the giggles we shared along the way). We would choose Cat over and over, she is truly the BEST!! RUN don’t walk to book Cat for your wedding day, you will not regret it!

Well I don't know where to start with Cat Deline other than to scream "hire her"! Cat and her talented team made our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner photos, and wedding photo dreams come true. We love our photographs and receive constant compliments on them from our guests and family. Trust me when I say these are photos you want on the wall! She perfectly captured our big day, down to the tiny details. In looking through our album we truly feel and relive the essence of our day all over again.In addition to her flawless photography, Cat is the person you want in your corner throughout your entire wedding process. She worked wonderfully with our other vendors creating seamless timelines, decor visions, and detailed execution as a whole. We had a large wedding and wedding party and Cat handled it like an absolute professional and ensured we still were able to participate in our own wedding while accomplishing our photography priorities. She completely has your back, be it with bobby pins, veil assistance, dealing with difficult guests, helping loosen an overly tight wedding dress...you name it and she's probably already thought of it! Brides need to know that you spend a lot of time with your photography team on your wedding day/weekend - so you should be sure to hire someone fun, efficient, professional, talented, and in your corner like Cat! It can truly make or break your big day and even the guests will appreciate a photographer who can dance at your wedding along with you. We feel that we not only came away with stunning wedding photography, we came away with a friend. My husband and I could not recommend Deline Photography more, 100% full-hearted recommendation. Thank you Cat!

Cat was our wedding photographer for our July 11 elopement in downtown Portsmouth, VA. I would just like to say that everything about working with Cat and DeLine Photography was amazing and easy. It was easy to submit our initial inquiry on the website, I received a response quickly from the office manager Kim, it was easy to set up my initial phone consultation with Cat, it was easy to sign our contract and pay online. On the day of our elopement, Cat showed up early and with a smile on her face. She had an amazing attitude. She was friendly, outgoing, hustled, carried my giant purse, and kept us on our schedule. She made me, my husband, and our families feel comfortable in front of the camera. She coached us, fixed our clothes as they flapped in the breeze, made sure our hair looked good, gave us direction, and made the whole 3 hours feel easy and fun. She sent us 8 sneak peek images the very next day, which was a great way for my husband and I to begin our honeymoon. We received our full gallery 3-4 weeks later and there are no words for how beautiful the photos are. Would I hire Cat again? Yes. Should you hire Cat? Yes. Is she the best? Yes. Don’t even second guess yourself, book with Cat!

If you’re in the market for a photographer.. look no further! Cat was by far the best investment we made for our wedding. Every time I look at our pictures it brings me pure happiness. Cat is so talented and down to earth. She brings out the best in her clients. I whole heartedly enjoyed working with her and will certainly be calling her again in the future.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Cat DeLine is! Throughout the entire wedding planning process she got to know us as a couple and made us feel completely comfortable to be ourselves with her. She is incredibly professional and makes sure to give you a 5 star experience. We could not be happier with our wedding photos, every. single. photo. is amazing in our gallery - she did such a phenomenal job capturing the feel and energy of our day. We cannot recommend Cat enough!

Cat is INCREDIBLE!!! Truly a one of a kind photographer and human! We cannot imagine our wedding without her. She made us feel so comfortable at both our engagement shots and our wedding and we are NOT the typical photo loving types but she made it easy for us!! We LOVE our photos and will cherish them for a lifetime. Our families each can't get enough. Snatch her up right now yall!

My wife and I got married this past May and had SO MUCH FUN taking our photos with Danielle and Naomi! Everything was perfect from the communication beforehand to the execution on the day. The photos turned out incredibly and we were given beautiful sneak peeks the next day, another round a few weeks later, and the entire album after about 2 months. During the session, they made us feel so comfortable and made sure things turned out exactly how we wanted. We are so happy with the results and can't thank the whole team enough!

Cat and her team are simply amazing! I fell in love with Cat's photography when I discovered her company on WeddingWire. She was unavailable the day of my wedding but she paired us with another one of her photographers, Danielle, based on our style. I told her my husband and I are not sappy and don't like to pose and she thought Danielle was a perfect fit. She captured some really beautiful candid moments (pictures speak for themselves) Working with Cat was so easy. Not only is she professional and responsive but she's so super friendly and down to earth. She helped plan the entire day's timeline and even coordinated with hair and make-up to make sure everyone was on the same schedule. She checked in several times in the weeks leading up to the event to make sure I was comfortable with the plan and wasn't stressing too much (which is hard NOT to do when planning a wedding!) Danielle was also super friendly and fun to work with. The day of the event, the girls were running behind schedule (go figure) but Danielle adapted and made it work. She made sure I got all of the groups of people I wanted to take photos with and we even had a few spare minutes to join cocktail hour earlier than we expected! She made it easy to relax but gave enough instruction for some bomb pictures that I will cherish forever! THANK YOU CAT & DANIELLE! <3

If we could rate Cat with 10 million stars we would!!! We truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is so much more than a photographer. She’s your number 1 hype man, your calm in the chaos, and your all around go to gal. Whenever we had a question or concern, she was there to support us. She constantly made us laugh and ALWAYS made us feel comfortable and loved. We ended up being lucky enough to have her alongside us throughout our 3 year planning journey (caused by COVID delays), and the entire time she was extremely communicative and reliable. We felt so taken care of by her; because we had Cat, we knew everything would be wonderful. And we haven’t even mentioned her skills as a photographer yet! That’s just how incredible of a person she is to work with. As for ber photography skills…they are out of this world! Every single shot is created with so much love and care. One of our favorite things about all of our photos from her is the way she creates memories with them. She perfectly captures each moment, so much so that looking at each picture immediately transports us back to that moment. We are so excited for the next opportunity we get to book Cat because we just can’t wait to hang out with her. When you book Cat, you don’t just get the best photographer, you get a new best friend. WE LOVE CAT!!!

Amazing photographer and even better person to work with

Cat was the best photographer to work with! Hands down. I don't think anyone could beat her. Her attitude, personality, professionalism, and overall help was absolutely amazing. From our engagement photos to our wedding day everything was perfect. Seeing the photos of our special day is something we are going to cherish for a lifetime and we cannot thank Cat enough. You will not regret your decision to hire Cat!!

It doesn’t get much better than Cat. Her photos are so bright and timeless they were exactly what I was looking for….then I met Cat. I adore her. She makes you feel so comfortable, she’s hilarious, relatable, reliable and incredibly talented. Everyone was talking about how fun & funny she was on our wedding day taking pictures of everyone capturing the perfect candids all night long. Her photo booth was amazing and so modern. The kids (and mostly adults) loved it those are some of my favorite photos. I cannot speak highly enough of Cat - she feels like family now. The proof is in the pudding - just look at her portfolio. No question she was the best vendor of the entire weekend. Don’t waste your time looking for other photographers. She replies SO fast, gets previews to you even faster she is the perfect photographer for your wedding! I will cherish the photos forever and my house will be covered in them. She’s the best of the best!

Cat is THE BEST. Our wedding planner recommended her and after our first meeting with her, we knew there was no way we'd go with anyone else. We were so lucky to get to work with her for our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and our wedding. Photos are usually something that would make us feel uncomfortable but not with Cat. She has the best personality and ability to make you feel comfortable. She was my biggest hype girl on the wedding day and even all of our guests commented on how wonderful she was. BUT, most of all, let's talk about her work. She is an incredible photographer and we absolutely love all of our pictures. I have had so many people tell me that our photographer nailed it, and she did. Please do yourself the favor of having Cat as part of your vendor team to capture the best photos. You will not regret it!

Cat is truly one of a kind. It was February 2019 when we first met Cat during our kickoff/intro call and from that first conversation, we were confident that she would make us feel comfortable, beautiful and most importantly, she knew her sh*t. Then well the world blew up due to COVID-19. We had Cat shoot both our wedding and our engagement and her product is unmatched. We have received endless compliments about both sessions but of course, our wedding photos take the cake. They are so spectacularly beautiful that my best friend who was in my wedding is exploring Cat shoot hers as well. Cat was professional, but not stuffy. She and her second photographer, Jo, made everyone feel special and kept the laughs going over the 8 hours they were with us. Not only did Cat direct the HELL out of our bridal parties and families, but she took the wheel when we needed someone to be kept in line. She was our cheerleader, our timekeeper AND our own crisis management manager. The crisis being, albeit minor, but when my makeup started to come off due to me not knowing how to dab away tears properly, in came Cat to the rescue. This was 5 minutes before walking down the aisle, by the way. If you're looking for someone genuinely in love with what they do, care for their couples as if they are her besties and hype you up the WHOLE damn time. Cat. Is. Your. Girl. The investment, while not small, is worth every penny. Our photos are absolutely stunning and we can not thank Cat enough for capturing the most incredible day of our lives. I would be remiss to leave out one of the best parts of the night which was the photo booth that we rented from Cat as an add on to our package. The photo booth itself was sleek and caught everyone by surprise because they hadn't seen the same type at weddings before. We chose to have it set in black and white and WOW. The photo booth provided us with most gorgeous snapshots of the fun our guests were having and portraits of the most loved people in our life. To reiterate, if you're between vendor options and Cat is in your top picks (and I may be biased) do yourself a favor and go with Cat. She absolutely blew us (and our families) away and we'll be forever grateful for her.

Cat was amazing! Captured our day perfectly. Her personality fit right in with our family and friends, like we knew her for years!! I'm so glad we found her. She made taking pictures effortless! Cat was very easy to work with, even working states away. We would zoom, meet up for coffee when she was in town. She made everyone feel very comfortable, and never rushed! Even took other people ideas into consideration.

From day one Cat was the person I wanted at my wedding! She was approachable and full of energy and I could tell this just over the phone during our very first phone call. Cat was very easy to set up payments, discuss my personal opinions, wants and needs from my husband and I regarding certain shots and always came up with the best ideas. We had hired her for our entire event from engagement pictures to our wedding Cat was apart of the family. She was quick to get her prints to us and the next day after our wedding we had some sneak peaks!! Looking forward to hopefully having Cat continue to photograph us in the many years to come!!

Your search for the perfect photographer is over! Cat is your best bet when it comes to having your wedding day captured! She's amazing in ways not even words can describe! Not only does her work speak for itself but she is one hell of a boss babe who gets the job done while still feeling like you are hanging with one of your closest friends. she helped us navigate rescheduling our wedding with ease and even was there on the daily for us with support, through her instagram stories to her couples or even private messages. We love our wedding photos and wouldn't have changed them for the world! cat has you covered rain or shine and you will have a blast taking your pictures! We were surprised that she was able to be a ninja out on the dance floor. she took amazing pictures of moments that we had no idea she was even there and they are the most amazing authentic pictures that I will cherish forever because they capture the true essence of us. there was so many choices for everything wedding that you want someone who is here for you and not just the paycheck, cat is your girl!!! it was an absolute blessing and privilege to have her shoot our big day and I guarantee it will be for you too if you go with Deline Photography!

Hands down we would recommend Cat again and again to couples looking for a truly OUTSTANDING photographer!! From the very beginning I was very impressed with how easy it was to get in touch with Cat via email and the timeliness of her responses in scheduling and coordinating the specifics of our big day. Her pre-photo shoot questionnaire was a great way for her to get to know us a bit before the event so we did not feel as if we were meeting a total stranger for the first time. We were also very pleased with how promptly she completed the final prints of our shoot! Being a little more on the reserved and introverted side without having ever participated in a professional and/or intimate photo shoot before, I was definitely quite anxious about the event. Fret not. #crisisaverted Cat immediately eased all of my worries the moment I met her for our photo shoot through her kind, cheerful, professional and genuine personality. Bless this lovely woman for making all of my childhood dreams for my engagement photos come true! We had our photos taken along the beach right during the “Golden Hour” and Cat did a PHENOMENAL job capturing the sincere love and joy of our relationship to the T. My fiancé and I have looked back and said time and time again, “Wow, that was such a remarkable experience!” And now *voila!* We have the most beautiful portraits hanging up in our home to reflect back upon those priceless moments together with the ocean waves at our feet and a gorgeous sun setting in the distance. Cat even let us go rogue and took a few pics of us with our brand new Ford Ranger! We had so much FUN! Cat has an exceptional gift and such a passion for photography. Her quality art has given my fiancé and I so many reasons to smile about those snap shots in time that we will be able to cherish forever! No regrets! Thank you, Cat DeLine!

Cat was wonderful to work with! My husband and I were out of state and she was accommodating with our schedules making the time to get to know us! She committed to understanding our vision and who we are as a couple. Getting our photos taken is out of our comfort zone and she made us feel at ease and made it fun! Cat took note of our likes and dislikes, forever meeting any requests we had. We are so happy with our gallery especially given the weather conditions we were dealing with. We truly feel the emotion shines in every photo and our day was captured perfectly. Cat’s style is elegant, crisp and timeless. You must book her for your wedding!

Kat is AMAZING! From the first email we sent, to the last picture she took! I am so glad I stumbled upon her on google. Her thoughtfulness throughout the day will always stick with me. She is a true artist and a master of her work. Go with your gut and book your girl Kat! You will not be disappointed!

We cannot say enough nice things about Cat. She is a rockstar - you would be crazy not to hire her! She was so friendly and helpful throughout the entire process - from our first phone conversation, to helping us find a venue for our engagement portraits, to walking us through her pricing so we got the best deal, and obviously, was absolutely amazing on our wedding day. We had a terrible venue coordinator and Cat stepped up and assisted with everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing! She bussled my dress a thousand times and even brought the bridal party Liquid IV when we were hungover from the night before. Just truly a great human, super funny, and a brilliant photographer. We love Cat!

Working with Cat was the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. Not only is she an extremely talented photographer, but she was an absolute savior the day of our wedding. The day of the wedding was a little chaotic, but Cat jumped right in and basically ran the show and kept us on schedule while taking all of our beautiful pictures. Cat took the time to get the details up front- names of family members and wedding party so that on our wedding day she was able to call everyone by name and get through all of the family and wedding party shots efficiently during cocktail hour. I received multiple compliments on how great she was at directing everyone through the post ceremony family and wedding party pictures. She made us feel comfortable while taking pictures and did a great job at capturing photos that reflect the two of us as a couple. She really went above and beyond her photographer duties at our wedding and we cannot be more grateful for all of her help that day and our amazing photos. You definitely want to book Cat for your wedding!

Easily our best experience with a photographer to date! Cat is super personable and very talented. She is very attentive and made sure my wife and I were comfortable throughout the entire experience. The photos that she took were beautiful and of high quality. Her professionalism and communication made us confident in our decision to hire her, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the DMV area. All the best, Cat!

HANDS DOWN, THE BEST (and maybe coolest person I know now) Cat DeLine was such a huge part of our big day - she was so professional but also so much fun! She made me feel sooo comfortable in front of the camera. She interacted with our wedding party in such an approachable way and made sure to take extra care of our families as well. The whole experience working with Cat was so lovely - from our initial phone calls, to late night texts about changes in the plans, to even enjoying a virtual beer cheers - she became more like a friend throughout the process. I cannot recommend her more!!

Stop looking for a photographer, you won't find anyone better than your girl, Cat! If being an incredibly talented photographer and carrying herself with the highest level of professionalism weren't enough, Cat is also one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. There were times during our wedding where Cat felt more like a friend or guest than a vendor. My guests, especially my bridesmaids, are still talking about how much they loved her. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and encouraged our true personalities to shine. Cat will not judge your weird or awkward , she will embrace it and make it look beautiful. We have received so many compliments on our sneak peak photos! Cat is very well organized and worked super efficiently, capturing all of the photos on our list without taking us away from the celebration. Choosing Cat as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. Wedding photos are one of the few souvenirs you have from your big day, and you will not regret hiring Cat to capture every moment. Thank you Cat, for capturing our day, giving us the most beautiful souvenirs, and celebrating with us! :)

We loved working with Cat! Both of us are awkward and don’t love being super okey gooey but Cat made it feel like we were hanging out and she just happened to be there taking pictures. The quality of the photos are amazing, would recommend to anyone looking for a laid back photographer who also knows how to jump in and give you ideas!

Cat DeLine was one of the absolute best choices we made for our wedding, and you will NOT regret choosing her. To keep costs down, I DIY'ed a lot of our wedding - including our engagement photos. For that reason, I knew I wouldn't actually spend real time with Cat until the wedding day (other than the initial phone interviews when we inquired about her services). I asked her to have a virtual "Happy Hour" with us - and she was happy to set aside that time to make us feel more at ease! The day of the wedding, it really was like having an extra friend there, she was quick with her work but made us feel so comfortable, and she was fun, and she was helpful, and I honestly felt like I had a badass superstar making the day WORK. It was all perfect. But the best part about Cat was what happened the day after the wedding: I learned the night of my wedding that my Grandfather had passed that same day. The next day, Cat texted me 6 STUNNING sneak peak photos. I was still crying about my loss, but those photos were the thing that helped me hold on to my excitement about my awesome wedding. Not only that, when I told her about my loss, she comforted me like a friend, and then included an incredible panorama in my final photo gallery as a labor of love. I could not recommend Cat more.

Can’t say enough good things about Cat Deline at Deline Photography! Once we decided to elope, we immediately reached out to Cat knowing we would want a small photo shoot to document our day. Cat was prompt in her reply, easy to talk with, and helped us pull together an impromptu elopement shoot over the course of a weekend and made herself available that Monday for it! She was even able to give advice on what to expect at the courthouse for our civil ceremony and remained flexible with us through the entire process. If you are averse to staged photos and are worried about feeling awkward, don’t be! Cat was extremely easy to be around, talk with, and offered great advice and direction making our photos fun and natural throughout our entire shoot. Also Cat has a real artists eye, her framing, color saturation, and attention to detail are on point. The finished product is beautifully rendered memories we now have available to pass on to our families. In addition, her print ordering service and quality are amazing, making ordering albums and keepsakes easy and fast. Look no further if you need a wedding photographer, Cat is amazing.

Cat was our wedding photographer (engagement shoot and wedding). To put it bluntly, she was the best we’ve ever seen. My wife and I have both been a part of many wedding parties and no photographer comes close to what Cat provided us and our guests. Our guests raved about her after the fact and one of my groomsmen even reached out to see if he could change his photographer to Cat for his wedding afterward. Cat did all this for our COVID wedding, an event that saw huge changes over the course of the year with the final change being a restriction in guest count from 250 to 25 a couple days prior to the event. Cat didn’t miss a beat and guided us through every step of the way. Can’t say enough about her - big recommend and will definitely use her again, one day. Thank you Cat!

Cat was HANDS DOWN the best decision I made for my wedding! After our first conversation, I knew she was the photographer I wanted to capture my special day. During the entire wedding planning, Cat was more than just our photographer, she was my saving grace!! Due to COVID, we were forced to postpone our wedding (originally scheduled for May to October). Cat was the first call I made. She was the ONE vendor I refused to lose due to postponing. I asked for for her availability and my husband and I picked a new date based on when she could be there. During re-planning, she was constantly checking in with me. She even helped me find new vendors since some of our original vendors were already booked on our new date. She honestly kept me SANE and was such a BLESSING! Fast Forward to day of: Even though I had never met her in person, it felt like I had known her forever! She was ALWAYS professional but she also knew how to laugh, joke and have a good time. My entire wedding party & family all said how amazing she was and how comfortable they felt around her. While taking photos, she makes sure to truly catch the "real" you. If you are looking for genuine photos and not those prom posed photos, look no further. If you're wondering about gallery delivery. The morning after our ceremony, I woke up to a text from Cat, giving me a handful of sneak peaks. Then less than a week later, I received an email with vendor sneak peaks! I was shocked to see almost 100 photos that were STUNNING! Less than a month later, my entire gallery arrived with hundreds of photos! A lot of my friends have gotten married in the past couple of years and I have been apart of their weddings, I have never seen them get 1. as many sneak peaks as I did 2. their entire gallery back in less than a month 3. get as many pictures. **Don't let the speed of delivery fool you either, these photos were incredible.** Cat is truly a talent and it shows in how amazing these and all of her pictures are! I could go on and on about Cat. I am in event planning and would/have recommended her to my clients. She is one of a kind. The saying "worth every penny" is an UNDERSTATEMENT for Cat. She is worth every penny & more!!!!

Cat was 100% the best vendor we had for the wedding. She made everything flow, kept everyone in line to get the best pictures possible and kept us right on schedule. Not only was she an amazing photographer but she was also there for us throughout the stress and chaos of covid. She was a shoulder to lean on and she was flexible with any and all changes. I cannot rave enough about how amazing she is and was. She goes above and beyond to make things happen and to make dreams come true!!

We could not be happier with our experience with Cat. Right from the beginning she took the stress out of a huge part of our wedding. Cat was extremely responsive with all of our questions. When it came to our wedding day, she had done her research on the venue and came prepared with where to get the best shots. She also has this incredible ability to rally the bridal party in a way that we did not think was possible with our group of friends. We had our engagement shoot in November of 2019 and we were very nervous going into it, however Cat made us feel comfortable and captured our day perfectly. She sent us sneak peaks of our wedding the next morning, which made us even more excited to see the full gallery. Our wedding date was during Covid, and leading up to it was very stressful and uncertain. Cat was accommodating and would always reach out to us to make sure we were okay and willing to provide any help needed. We knew that Cat would do anything to make our special day happen. This is a testament to her character and shows how much she truly cares about her couples. You would be doing yourself and your wedding day a huge disservice if you go with anyone besides DeLine Photography.

Besides my groom, choosing Cat as our photographer was the single best decision I made for our wedding day. Cat has a way of putting everyone around her at ease, while also staying organized, poised, and in complete control of the task at hand. She is not a fly on the wall photographer either. If she sees a need, she will step in to assist. When my mom and sister were struggling with my bustle, Cat stepped in and offered a hand. If there is one person you want with you on your wedding day, it is Cat. Her photographs are truly stunning. She is an artist and we will cherish her work for the rest of our lives.

Where do I begin!? I found Cat through Instagram and reached out to her to do our elopement (covid bride) pictures back in May. I wasn’t from the area and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND!! She suggested a couple places and even went to the location to take pictures and videos to send me. She took time to do research on how to get married during a pandemic by calling the courthouse to get information. She was quick to respond, so extremely helpful and incredibly kind! She was my hype girl on the day of our elopement and even managed to make my husband who can be a little awkward look fantastic in our photos! I can’t recommend Cat enough! She did so much more than I could have ever thought to have in a photographer!!!! BOOK HER YA’LL!!

My husband and I were so glad we hired Cat as our photographer, over all our experience with her was amazing! Not only was she very accommodating, she made me and my husband feel comfortable during the shoot and it really felt like an intimate moment between us two rather than an awkward obviously posed photo shoot. In the end the photos were absolutely beautiful she really captured the love!

Cat DeLine. Best Decision Ever. Cat is an amazing photographer who listens to what you need and what you want. I cried after seeing our photos, because it was like she was in my head but in a more creative and beautiful part of it lol! She did an amazing job, she made it so personal. She reflected our relationship and our family relationship to the photos incredibly! She is so fun to work with, she has a unique style to capture natural photos. My husband and I are not good with photos but she sure made us feel comfortable and made us feel like artists! The best thing about it was that photography sessions were soooo fun you don’t worry about missing the fun of your party. Thank you Cat! It was a pleasure!

We found Cat because she photographed our friend’s wedding and we loved how their pictures turned out. We were so happy that Cat was able to capture our wedding day, even after rescheduling because of COVID. She was very flexible and helpful throughout the whole process. Cat made us feel at ease in front of the camera. Our wedding photos were stunning! Cat is super talented and we were really impressed with her creative vision. We would highly recommend Cat, you won’t regret it!

My husband was the reason why we got a photographer at our wedding. At first I did not want to hire one but as I was looking for some marriage licensing info, I came across Cat's website. After chatting with Cat, doing the process, and finally taking the photos... It was one of the best decisions I have ever made! My experience with DeLine Photography was amazing, comfortable, and super fun! She made everything easy and very organized. I planned my wedding/elopement cermeony within two weeks so you can imagine how hectic that was. I am so grateful that she made the time, in such short notice, to be at my wedding. Me and my husband felt completely comfortable being in front of the camera, as she was guiding us. The photos came out the way we wanted it! Actually more than we expected. Each photo she portrayed every aspect of our relationship. These photos are special and will be with us for the rest of our lives. She is truly kind and filled with a great abundance of joy. Highly highly highly recommend her to be part of your events. Thank you DeLine Photography!!!

DeLine photography is an absolute dream. Cat, our photographer, was thoughtful, professional, attentive, and kind throughout every step of the process. Engagement shoots can potentially be a stressful endeavor, but with DeLine photography, it is truly a wonderful experience. All of essential elements you would hope for are present. She is timely, organized, knowledgeable, and kind. Beyond that, Cat truly cares about her couples and their stories. Baked into her process is time spent learning about the couple, which is invaluable. My fiance and I felt comfortable in front of the lens, due to the care and intention Cat displayed behind the lens. Additionally, her lighting and editing skills are inclusive of ALL couples, which was a "must-have" for us. In short, if you're considering DeLine photography, move forward with her! The work product is excellent, and the actual experience is just as wonderful. The memories Cat so beautifully captures will transcend this lifetime.

She was so easy to work with. She made our experience during COVID seamless. She was flexible when we had to reschedule and she made me and my husband photogenic. Worth every penny.

Cat photographed our elopement (Covid bride) and she made us feel so comfortable even though we had just met her! She pays attention to little details and was just wonderful to work with. The pictures turned out amazing. She really cares about her couples and it really shows.

Oh my I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cat! Me and my fiancé are out of towners so we setup our engagement shoot for the weekend when we would be in OBX to do some wedding planning. Of course Mother Nature is unpredictable and Cat waited down to the last minute to see if we should postpone. I couldn't thank her enough because nobody wants to take their beach pictures in cold and rainy wind. She provided multiple different options and pushed back to meet us for a sunrise session a few days later (which happened to be the day we lost an hour) with no problem. I can't tell you how anxious I was to take pictures. We are not the models you see all over instagram BUT oh my did we have fun! Taking photos with Cat is like hanging out with a friend and we basically just spent our entire session laughing. If your fiancé has fun taking pictures you know it was a good time. And let me tell you the pictures are AMAZING, I had so many people reach out telling me just how great they were and I couldn't be more thrilled. I feel so much more at peace for our wedding day after our session so if I have one piece of advice BOOK CAT because you won't regret it.

This review is long over due! Cat had to be my photographer from the moment I saw her photos and after our initial coffee chat, I knew she was my photographer. She was patient, thorough and responsive to all of mine and Chris's questions. I say patient because my husband is not always easy to do business with and Cat was continuously professional, understanding, classy and ultimately lovely. She goes above and beyond for her clients and honestly was my favorite of all my vendors. She totally gets the engaged/planning a wedding life and she's fun, down to earth, and her photo packages are very reasonable. You won't regret reaching out to her or even better, booking her! Thanks for everything, Cat!!

Cat is absolutely THE MOST amazing photographer and you will find. I work in the wedding industry, and I can promise you that you don't find that much talent & compassion in one person easily. I booked her for my engagement photos and wedding and I have never worked with a better photographer. If you CAN book Cat, don't miss your chance! The photos are amazing but she is also a joy to have around. She's a must have!

We absolutely love Cat! She is just amazing! Thank you soooo much Cat for capturing our special day! Everyone loves her and had sooo much laughs with her for amazing pictures! We are really grateful to have the chance to work with her. Everytime i look at our wedding pictures it get me right back into this moment. Amazing work. Thank you again Cat! We can just highly recommend her!

Cat was an absolute delight to work with through the entire process. She resides in NC while I live in NY and she never missed a beat. We were able to map out all of the details I was looking to capture. She is an absolute pleasure to work with! My fiancé and I are telling EVERYONE about her! We wanted to get through the formal pictures after the ceremony and she made it happen while getting the most gorgeous photos! I really wanted photos of my guests having fun on the dance floor and she was right with us dancing and capturing our incredible night. The day would not have been the same without her. The day following the wedding, my fiancé looked at me and said "we should get married again next year and DEFINITELY hire Cat again." She was loved by all of the guests. BOOK HER NOW because I promise you, there is no-one like her :) Thank you Cat for your talent and for being you!
