y received a sneak peak so far but we are already obsessed and can’t stop looking at the photos! We are very excited to see the rest. We can’t thank Catherine and her team enough and definitely recommend using her for your special day!
Hiring Catherine as our photographer for our recent June wedding is a decision we would make over and over and over again!!! Catherine was absolutely incredible to work with from t...
he very first day that we communicated and we seriously cannot thank her enough for capturing our day so perfectly. When I reflect on some of our favorite moments of the day, it was taking photos with Catherine! She has a way of providing calm to chaos, makes you feel comfortable each and every step of the way, and HYPES you up 24/7! The support that we felt throughout our wedding from Catherine is something that will stay with me forever. Our day simply wouldn't have been what is was without her and there aren't enough words for me to express how grateful I am to have booked Tales & Trees as our photographer! Seriously - if you haven't booked her yet WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Thank you Catherine for everything! You are absolutely amazing at what you do!
Hiring Tales & Trees (Catherine) as our wedding photographer was one of the BEST decisions we made throughout the planning process. From our first conversation, she made us feel so...
comfortable and confident - like we were in the hands of a true pro and a friend.
The day of, Catherine was calm, organized, and had this magical way of being everywhere without ever being intrusive. She captured the most beautiful, candid, emotional, and joy-filled moments - things we didn’t even realize were happening until we saw the photos. Every image feels like a piece of art, and yet so authentically us.
Her attention to detail, her ability to find perfect light, and the way she caught all the little in-between moments - smiles, tears, quiet glances - is just remarkable. She even managed to get all 7 kids to smile in an extended family photo - unreal! She told the full story of our wedding day through her lens, and now we get to relive that magic forever. Even though we've just seen the sneak peek so far, I can tell these pictures are going to take me back to every second of the most wonderful day.
Catherine, thank you for your warmth, your talent, and your heart. We’re so lucky to have had you there with us, and we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives.

sion, he commented on how easy Catherine made it. She helps anyone to feel comfortable by incorporating movement into her poses and she makes it feel so natural and fun! Our photos turned out so beautiful and we love that we have a stunning wedding video to look back on.
Catherine is a gem! She took branding photos for a new business of mine and they turned out SO perfect. She also took photos of me and my fiancé as we operate the business, and tho...
ugh most professional photography experiences make us uncomfortable, Catherine made us feel at ease and made us laugh the whole way through. Thank you! 🤩

e made our photo shoots fun and made us feel great. We absolutely love all the photos from both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. She captured every detail on the day of so beautifully!

nnot say enough good things. One thing you want on your wedding day is confidence and this team gives you that and so much more. They were attentive and genuine and truly seemed like they loved what they were doing; they were just as excited to be a part of our day as we were.

Y'all. Catherine is the BEST! She made me and my (now) husband feel completely at ease our entire time with her. The moment we met her at our engagement shoot, we knew we made the ...
right choice. She is personable, fun, and loves to make couples feel confident. I never considered myself the modeling type, and my husband is very introverted, but we both had a jaw dropping "THAT'S US?!" moment when we saw our wedding sneak peek. If you're someone who loves candid style photos, definitely look into Tales & Trees Photography.
I can not put it into words how beautiful these photos are! Catherine's style is so perfect with what I wanted and she captured our day just how I remember it. She is fantastic to ...
work with, open to suggestions and laid back, like you are working with a friend! Book her now, you won't regret it.
Thank you Catherine <3
Catherine is and always will be my DREAM photographer. I left a review before about our engagement photos last fall, and now this review is about our wedding photos!
Leading up to ...
the wedding Catherine was extremely attentive and I felt she was almost as excited about the wedding as I was! On the day of the wedding Catherine was so relaxed but also made sure to be our hype woman! Catherine and her second shooter made me feel so comfortable and helped everything stay on track the day of the wedding. I loved that Catherine agreed to and encouraged us to adventure into the woodsy paths on the venue. When there started to be a few drops of rain her second shooter Lydia RAN back to the car so that we would have umbrellas just in case the rain got harder. Catherine has a way of being so calming and present-ensuring all the shots are taken, that the schedule keeps on time, and taking charge of rowdy bridal party members when needed, while also being “out of the way” and making us feel like she was just hanging out with us without any pressure of getting “perfect” shots (which of course all of the shots WERE PERFECT and natural). When I woke up the morning after the wedding we already had a sneak peek gallery of 30+ photos! It was so fun to so quickly be able to reminisce on the wedding day and show the photos to our friends and family during the farewell brunch.
I cannot say enough about how talented, kind, and servant minded Catherine is. She is truly the perfect wedding photographer for anyone who is looking for a new friend, hype woman, artist, and your go to photographer for all of life’s milestones. I’m so thankful for Catherine to be a part of my life and this very special day! Thank you Catherine-we cannot wait for the full gallery but for now looking at the sneak peek gallery several times a day will do, hehe!
Such beautiful photos!! Geordie and Glenn were amazing!! So accommodating especially when extra photos were added in the moment.
Catherine and her photo/video team were the kindest, most fun, and talented team we could’ve asked for on our wedding day. She made the day so relaxed and fun and the photos are S...
TUNNING - exceeded our expectations!!
Catherine is an incredible photographer and we're so lucky that we were able to have her shoot our wedding day. She made sure to get important photos in without taking time away fr...
om our cocktail hour. She even sent me a handful of edited photos while she was still at the wedding!!! Her style is so moody and rustic and fit perfectly with our vibe and the venue. We couldn't have asked for someone better!
Where to start? From the very first time I spoke with Catherine on the phone I could sense her joy, sweetness and bubbly personality. I loved her right away and her work and other ...
reviews speak for themselves! She was incredibly accommodating-my now husband and I were doing long distance throughout our engagement so we needed flexibility. Catherine went out of her way for us and I can't say how much I appreciate it. She was professional, she got back to us quickly, she did everything and more than what we payed for. My husband and I were nervous at first to be in front of the camera, but she made us both feel comfortable and made us laugh so much. We have gotten so many compliments on our engagement photos on how genuinely happy we look (we were happy, but Catherine was what got us to look like that!)
Then she did our wedding... and it only got better!!! Seriously, her and her team were so much fun, so down to earth, and so great to work with. I can't speak highly enough about all of them.
We got sneak peeks right away and both of us are in love with them! It rained on our wedding (didn't stop her and the team even for a second) they got creative and now we have the most dreamy pictures! I cannot wait to see the rest of them!
Bottom line is this. She knows what she's doing and she is INCREDIBLE at doing it. Hire her. You won't be disappointed!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Catherine is as a photographer and fellow vendor friend. She has always been one of my biggest supporters of my floral biz and ha...
s become an incredible friend, and I’ve been obsessed with her work for a while so it was a no brainer to hire her for our wedding when I got engaged. Our engagement session was nothing short of amazing. Even my fiancé, who HATES taking photos, said he had a fun time. Not to mention Catherine is so speedy and sent us sneak peeks the next day. We cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding in September!🧡✨
Catherine is AMAZING! I could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. There were so many twists and turns leading up to our wedding day regarding COVID and of course rain...
. Catherine and her second shooter created such a stress-free environment amidst all of the changes. They gave us the coat off their backs and ran to find a towel to wipe down the wet swing (due to the rain) we were getting photos on. They made sure we were comfortable and consistently reminded us how special our day was. Not to mention the SUPERFAST sneak peeks we got right before we left for our honeymoon the NEXT DAY! From our engagement session to final wedding photos Tales and Trees Photography made our experience easy, fun, memorable, and affordable. Could not recommend a more personable, service oriented photographer!
Catherine really is the ultimate wedding photographer! She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera even if it's not something you're used to! She makes her sessions so...
fun and her photos always allow you and your love's personality to show through! Not to mention, she is the absolute sweetest and will do anything for you! She really moved heaven and earth to make my COVID wedding special. Tales and Trees is reasonably priced yet creates a world class masterpiece of your love story! I cannot recommend her enough!
Tales and Trees photo is everything you want out a photographer! You will receive photos (or at least sneak peaks!) super fast, we got some of ours on the same day as our engagemen...
t shoot! Catherine is super creative and fun to work with. She’ll make you feel like a million bucks!
