Outdoor & Historic Venues: Catherine Ann Photography

ents that really feel like you. We were in AWE of the results they delivered - whatever you’re picturing, they will deliver that times a million. My professional photographer friends were so impressed by their skills and final result. We had a massive thunderstorm on our wedding day, and Katie pulled me aside and offered to do another session if we didn’t get the photos I wanted that day because of the rain. It’s clear that she prioritizes your happiness and experience! I’m so glad we invested in great photos, since that’s all we have to remember the day by! Seriously, save yourself some time and hire her. You won’t regret it.

d at because it was so joyful and colorful. Photographers were the people we spent the most time with throughout our wedding day, so it was so perfect that Katie and Jay are so nice and easy to be around. Our wedding party kept talking about them for days after the wedding and how nothing felt forced. They made all of the formal photos go fast and painlessly and captured a lot of fun extra moments. We had a destination wedding so we did our engagement shoot when we came to visit the venue a few months before the wedding. I would really recommend doing the engagement shoot. My now husband who does not like getting his photo taken had so much fun during our engagement shoot and it made both of us feel so much more comfortable on wedding day. Overall, I would really recommend hiring Katie and Jay!

ng each and every shot completely perfect, but rather taking the qualities that each person finds perfect in the other and letting that shine through. She was 150% worth every penny! Katie and Jay made us feel completely comfortable being ourselves and never made it feel awkward to be loving or affectionate in front of the camera. They captured the romance, playfulness, joy, and pure love that was somehow so personal and unique to us as a couple and yet showcased it so vibrantly through her lens. My biggest reason for hiring Katie and Jay was the incredible way they capture color! I really wanted my wedding photos to be vibrant and pop with personality and vivid colors. We had bright colors (teal and raspberry) in our wedding attire, as well as touches of gold and they were able to make those beautiful hues look so bright and pretty without anything looking over saturated. They absolutely crushed it! Everyone complimented me on the stunning photos and all our guests who attended the wedding commented on how organized, professional and invisible Katie and Jay were. They were able to work their magic in the background without ever being distracting or in the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better team! Katie and Jay…thank you for capturing our happily ever after and making our wedding dreams come true! We are so thankful for the magic you created 💖💖💖

and had gale force winds and Katie and Jay didn’t miss a beat, perfectly capturing every aspect. She even sent us sneak peaks the NEXT DAY and had our entire album to us just a few weeks after the wedding. If you are looking for a photographer you will actually have fun with while taking the most beautiful photos, hire Catherine Ann right now!! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we’re so excited to have their beautiful work for years to come and can’t thank them enough for capturing our day so phenomenally.

es that they captured. They were so kind through all of my Covid postponements, made sure all of our planning was stress free, and were such a joy to spend time with! :)

l of the perfect spots and they certainly delivered on that!!! They were willing and happy to travel to CT for our engagement session and made the experience relaxing and fun for us! They were able to capture the candid moments, the sweet moments, and the posed moments all with such beauty and we are so incredibly thankful to have worked with them! If you want the most magical experience for your engagement and wedding photos, you have to book Catherine Anne!

general - but not with Katie and Jay! They tell you exactly what to do and make sure you’re laughing and having a great time while doing it. Aside from the day of amazing-ness, Katie is extremely communicative and responsive during the entire planning process. All questions are answered promptly and with full transparency. She is also honest and supportive while always maintaining a high level of professionalism. Katie puts together the most detailed timeline and list of must have photos - which she makes sure are all captured! Katie and Jay go above and beyond to make sure the couple truly has a magical day… and make sure all that magic is captured in their photos. You CANNOT go wrong with Catherine Ann Photography.

d or staged. The final product was fantastic. Everything appeared natural, bright, and fun. You won't regret hiring them!!

e so fun, professional, and brought our vision of the sessions to life! With airy, natural, colorful fun images, our family and friends cant help but rave over them! Katie gives such simple & clear direction that it's hard to take a bad shot! We cant thank them enough for capturing our day through their eyes!

h our photos. They were super professional, responsive and flexible. Our original plans were thrown off by the pandemic, and they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. I highly recommend booking Catherine Ann Photography!

ented about how gorgeous and beautiful they made them feel while taking photos. They truly are one of a kind. I would hire them again and again. Beyond the amazing shots, they are super receptive to any questions I may have a turned around my photos quicker than I ever expected. I cried reviewing them because it was truly such a magical day! From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!

tie is a direct reflection of that aesthetic. My fiance and I purchased one of her packages that included an engagement session. My fiance and I had never really done professional photos before and we are not “picture takers”. We are even pretty bad at Instagram. Katie made us feel so comfortable and eased us into it. It even started to rain during the shoot and Katie made it work! Our pictures were unbelievably beautiful. On the day of our wedding, Katie and Jay were rockstars. Taking pictures with them was so easy and so fun. We opted to do a first look and have all the posed photos done prior to the ceremony. So worth it!! Katie and Jay worked quickly, kept us on schedule, and even corralled our crazy families. Even my fiance, who despises taking pictures, afterward said, “Hey, that wasn’t so bad!!”. My fiance and I didn’t even realize Katie and Jay were taking photos during the cocktail hour and the reception. They’re awesome people, so we wouldn’t have minded if they were seen or heard, but they were neither seen nor heard (Lol!)!! Katie sent me sneak peek photos the day after the wedding and, oh my gosh. They are stunning. I am dying to get the full set back. On top of all of this, our wedding party, our family, and even our guests have told us how great the photographers were. I have never really heard of that happening before. Overall we had an amazing experience with Catherine Ann Photography and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you, Katie and Jay, for everything.

s feel so comfortable and confident our entire wedding day. We got so many compliments from our bridal party and guests about how easy they made the photos and how beautiful they looked - even if you’re not usually comfortable in front of the camera!! All I had to do was make a list of photos (with family/ guests) that I wanted and Katie made sure to snap a shot. She controlled our timeline so beautifully and we got so many amazing photos! They truly made our wedding day amazing and we have fantastic memories for years to come!!!

stered the perfect balance of being personable and professional. She is creative beyond description; her work is stunning! We are so blessed to have worked with Katie and Jay from engagement to wedding day!

andid, yet magical and romantic vibe. After one conversation we were set to work with Katie and Jay, and it was the best decision we could of made. I can not say enough about Katie. As a human, she’s one of the best ones out there. She went out of her way to let us know she was there for us to answer any and all questions. Having a destination wedding, it can be hard to feel like everything is going smoothly. Planning with Katie, we felt completely calm and had zero worries. Thank you Katie for your check ins, it made a huge difference in our planning process. Does this woman have a plan! Down to the minute Katie set up a timeline to ensure every moment would be captured. Her attention to detail was incredibly impressive, and she really directed us the best way possible. The day of was a breeze, and working with her we felt like we knew her and jay our whole lives. There was even a point where I started to feel faint because alas, I was not hydrating. Katie, our magical fairy godmother whipped out a meat and cheese stick from that Mary Poppin apron of hers and legit brought me back to life. We felt so confident with Katie and Jay that we really got to enjoy the day, and be 100% in the moment. Because of that, and the expertise Katie had of our venue at Middleton Place, our pictures are absolutely stunning and wonderful. Our photos are a dream come true. If you are looking for a fun, creative, professional and detail oriented photographer to capture your day, Katie & Jay are the way to go.

every single 1000+ pictures because they were all amazing! Every picture captures a feeling. Every picture captures a moment of happiness and excitement. It's incredible how they were able to stop time and put it into a memory that will last forever. Thank you both for dealing with my crazy weird hyper wedding party and handling us like a pro! There is no way we would have had as much fun with someone else. Love yall! - Mandy & Colin

us! My now husband is not a big fan of taking pictures (shocker), but Katie and Jay made us both feel so comfortable. Since they are a husband and wife duo, it took a lot of the awkwardness out. We did an engagement shoot with them and loved the photos so we knew we were going to be in good hands for the wedding. PLUS they love puppies and we are big time dog lovers. On the day of our wedding, Katie was able to capture photos of me with my girls and Jay took photos of the boys. They worked together to time our first look so that we were exactly on time. Having a photographer that can manage a timeline is super important and Katie and Jay nailed it. At the reception we were completely surprised and so excited because they brought us a few sneak peaks of some of the photos. THEY ARE AMAZING. They also worked tirelessly to send us a few sneak peaks the next day so we could look at them and share them with our family and friends on our honeymoon. We highly recommend Catherine Ann Photography, and cannot wait to see the rest of our films!!!

to wonder where they were during the reception, as they were always there to capture each moment of our day. They even stayed up late into the night editing our photos so that we could wake up and have a sneak peek. A great addition to your team of vendors!

. The day of our engagement picture session was a terribly hot summer day, and on top of that, we experienced “wardrobe malfunctions.” Katie was on top of it all and managed to get amazing pictures, even some with our fur baby. Katie made us feel extremely comfortable and her easy going manner showed through in our pictures – they were beautiful, natural and heart-rending Katie also prepared us well for the wedding day, giving the most perfect and detailed itinerary for pictures. On the wedding day, both Katie and Jay did an amazing job of taking photos of all aspects of the day. Yet, they were discreet and non-obtrusive to the wedding day festivities. After the wedding, Katie was quick in sending me a few a sneak peek pictures the day after the wedding! And then two days later, she sent the most perfect sneak peek slideshow video. I could not stop watching the video and everyone who saw it fell in love. Finally, Katie was extremely fast in getting us all of the wedding photos - less than 2 weeks after the wedding - and they were just as amazing as all her other work. I would highly recommend Katie and Jay to anyone who wants the best photographers! Katie and Jay, I can't thank you enough for giving us precious memories of our special day!

cake has been eaten and the sparklers have burnt out, your wedding photos are left to remind you of all the love, joy, and excitement you and your spouse shared with your family and friends! Needless to say, I browsed a lot of photography portfolios, and I instantly fell in love with Catherine Ann Photography! Katie’s photos are timeless and beautiful! Charleston is like a fairy tale, and I wanted to find a photographer who could capture both the natural beauty of our venue and the joy we felt on our wedding day. To say Katie and Jay delivered would be an understatement! When we received our wedding album, we were overjoyed! They captured every moment and detail I could have ever wanted in the most beautiful way. Being able to look back, relive all of those wonderful moments, and even see all the beautiful details I was too overwhelmed to notice is absolutely invaluable to me! Also, I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I’ve always felt a bit awkward and uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Katie and Jay made the whole process so easy! We met for the first time at our engagement session, and with Katie’s guidance, my nerves quickly melted away! They are both so sweet and made us feel so comfortable! Katie really took the time before our wedding to get to know us so that by the time our wedding day came, I felt like we were posing in front of friends! I absolutely could not be more grateful for Katie and Jay!! The photos they took for us are truly a priceless gift that will last a lifetime! I am so thankful that we chose Catherine Ann Photography to play this important role on our big day, and I would absolutely recommend them to everyone I know!!! <3

the incredible vendors we ended up selecting. We were planning from out-of-state, so Katie’s suggestions for vendors and shooting locations were especially helpful! Katie is such a pro. She takes time to get to know her couples before the wedding with very specific questions and makes sure to be super prepared for the day-of by consulting with you on the shots that are important to you! She also provided us with a detailed timeline which made everything so easy going into the day! We were already so impressed with Katie before the wedding, but when our wedding day came, we were just blown away. Beyond being the picture of professionalism, Katie and Jay were both incredibly friendly and made everyone feel so comfortable. They were flies on the wall while also being amazing guides and directors for the day. They worked quickly and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We have a huge family and had a pretty big wedding party, but Katie and Jay were able to work with everyone seamlessly and capture everything. As a bride who was all over the place, I can’t tell you wonderful it was to have complete trust in our photographers and not have to worry about anything other than marrying my husband! They read the room perfectly and were able to capture photos of every guest and every important moment, whether it was an obvious moment at the altar or a discreet look between two people. When our photos came back, I was stunned!!! They captured everything so perfectly and beautifully. You can’t even tell that it was a rainy day! Our entire family feels so lucky to have these photos for the rest of our lives to look back on. Each photo is incredibly well-lit, colorful, bright, airy, and most-importantly, perfectly captures the pure joy surrounding the wedding!!! These photos already mean the world to us and we feel so grateful to have them to remember and look back on our perfect day. I’m simply in awe of Katie and Jay’s talent. We can’t recommend her and her team enough!!

ve seen so far have been BEAUTIFUL. Before we left the venue, Katie had printed little wallet-sized sneak peek photos for us to take home (I still have no idea when/how she did this in the midst of everything, but it was seriously impressive/a wonderful surprise). And then I woke up the next morning to an email from her with MORE sneak peek pictures. She is the best and takes the most beautiful pictures...you will seriously be missing out if you don't use her for your event!

nt that we had to have Catherine Anne photography capture the memories—could those pictures be any more dreamy or romantic?? *Swooning* Leaving Magnolia Plantation after our ceremony, my hubby and I both remarked upon Katie’s artistic direction and talent. We are notoriously UNphotogenic, and always manage to take the most awkward photos..until we met Katie + Jay!! They made us feel SO comfortable and at ease, and I think that really shows in photos they captured. I’m already dreaming of (ok, scheming) a one year anniversary shoot just so I can work with Katie again!! :) If you’re on the fence, do yourself a favor and lock down this AMAZING duo—you won’t be sorry!
