KIND WORDS

Working with Catherine Hall on my wedding day was a dream. It felt like she was a close friend of the family shooting photos that turned out to be not only breathtakingly beautiful but also captivating, fluid and soulful. Her playful but unobtrusive style enables her to capture and produce work unlike any other photographer. The first time I viewed my photos, I cried tears of joy. Not only were they the most gorgeous pictures I have ever seen, but I actually saw, through Catherine's perspective, this incredible love my new husband has for me, right there, in black and white. I am also an event producer, and throughout my 16-year career I have worked with dozens of photographers. I can tell you that you should look no further. Book her now and you will be forever grateful you did.

From the moment we first spoke to Catherine, we felt like we were catching up with an old friend. The excitement that she shared regarding our wedding was more than we could have ever imagined. Catherine knows how important it is to capture moments. When our wedding day arrived, we were able to enjoy the day from beginning to end, without spending hours posing in front of the camera. However, we were unknowingly in front of the camera the entire day, while Catherine quietly, diligently composed our story. Luckily, for my husband Nicholas and me, our wedding day will never be just a distant memory, but instead a story, fresh in our minds for years to come. When it comes to photography, Catherine Hall is second to none!

If you are looking for a photographer to capture images of your wedding day to put in an album, place on the shelf, and glance through once a year, look elsewhere. If you hire Catherine, you won't be able to stop shoving your photographs in the faces of your family, friends, and that random woman standing next to you in the line at the grocery store with a smug look on your face and a nonchalant shrug, saying, "Yeah, that breathtaking bride? That's me." The fact that you are considering Catherine's servcies probably means that you are looking for someone with a style that hints at high fashion, elegance and art. It doesn't matter how much you spend on the venue, your dress and those flowers, if you don't have an experienced photographer to capture it all correctly, it's a waste. Catherine has a calming personality, an eye for glamour and the means to bottle up the details of a day that you'll want to relive over and over again through her lens.

Choosing the right photographer was by far the most important decision for us. We knew the images would preserve the memories of our special day and, ultimately, outlast everything else. Also, as an avid photographer, my husband Darren was determined to have the very best we could find. Not only do Catherine's images have great color, lighting, texture, composition and depth; but she also captures striking moments. We hit it off with Catherine immediately. Her warmth and ability to connect and make those around her feel comfortable in front of the camera. These were not only important ingredients for great photos, but also for putting at ease our friends and family at our wedding. Many commented on how wonderful they thought Catherine was, which was funny--because they hadn't even seen how great her photos were yet!

On-site, Catherine is an incredible photographer--professional, friendly, and, (amazingly) able to put me at my ease. But when I saw the actual photos I was even more impressed. The shots are beautiful. I've always been awkward in front of a camera (usually my eyes are all squinted up); but, for once, I actually looked natural. Even better, Catherine's shots brought out my best features. I never knew I could look so good! Catherine's work is simultaneously unique and classic--a rare combination. I used to hide photos of myself. These I will proudly display.

We are so fortunate and blessed that Catherine shot our wedding. With her remarkable eye for design, she was our first choice to capture the spirit and beauty of our wedding story. Despite the fact that we were from Chicago and hosted a small wedding, Catherine emphasized to us that no wedding was insignificant to her and looked forward to the opportunity. I can testify that, as a nervous bride, I felt at ease with Catherine. Her images captured both the serious but playful personalities of both my husband and me. Already familiar with our chosen ceremony and reception sites, Catherine still took time to come the day prior our wedding to research the area closely and find the best backdrops for our portraits. We are proud to be a part of Catherine's expansive and highly regarded portfolio, and look forward to working with her again.

Every time I see my wedding album I am taken back to one of the most wonderful days of my life. Catherine perfectly captured the magic and beauty of our wedding day, as well as the love and joy of my husband, me, our family and friends. Each photograph was both perfectly composed and candid, a talent that is hard to find in wedding photography. Catherine's photographs are a stunning testament to our love and our special day.

We were so honored have Catherine Hall as our wedding photographer. We remain in awe of her incredible talent and skills. Leading up to the day of our wedding, I was in anticipation of what images she would capture as much as I was looking forward to saying the vows! When the big day finally arrived things just got better. She instantly felt like a member of the family and a comforting companion for all the day's events. We were pleased with and excited about all her creative ideas for remembering this single day. We couldn't wait to see the results. We thank her so much for all her hard work, creative energy and positive attitude. The photos are absolutely perfect and beyond what we could hope to have as a record of our wedding. The collection of images is fresh, fun and full of life! This is the energy and attitude that we want for our memories. From her presence on the big day to the breathtaking slideshow, t means so much to us to have such a beautiful collection of our memories. Wee thank her so much for just being such a sweet and a perfect addition to our gathering of family of friends. We look forward to continue watching Catherine and Catherine Hall Studios excel!

We had very specific creative hopes for our wedding day and wanted its uniqueness captured. From the first day I spoke with Catherine, she understood our vision and shared in our excitement. Catherine made sure that she understood the nuances of how we wanted our images to reflect our day, helping us plan several aspects of the event so that we could capture it best, while still really enjoying our wedding day. I loved everything about our wedding. Thanks to Catherine, we can honestly relive and remember the feelings, light, and people from that day. Thank you.

We considered many photographers before we found Catherine, and we knew as soon as we saw her photographs that she was the right choice for us. Catherine brings creativity to her photography, transforming her work from visual artifacts to fine art. The results are breathtaking. Catherine did so much more than document what happened on our wedding day. She focused her eye on the love between us and found a way to express that love and the joy of that day in her photographs. The images she captured at our wedding, and during our engagement shoot, are visually stunning and rich with emotion. Catherine's work is amazing, and so is she. From the start she felt like an old friend, she put us at ease and brought out our best.

From the first time I met Catherine Hall, it was clear she knew exactly what I was hoping for from my wedding photos, and she delivered precisely that. The formal pictures were executed with efficiency, and she was practically invisible throughout the ceremony and reception. Yet, when the proofs arrived, there were so many wonderful photos it was nearly impossible to choose! Catherine and her team members have given us photos we will cherish forever!

Catherine Hall is a pleasure to work with--her energy and enthusiasm are contagious. We had a great time together and I was happy to have found a photographer who was like a friend to me. Her pictures speak for themselves. My family and friends were extremely impressed with her pictures from our wedding and comment that the pictures look like they are from a magazine. I highly recommend Catherine Hall for your event. You will have beautiful pictures that bring you right back to that special moment in time.

Most photojournalists I know fear one thing above most: wedding photography. For some reason, it is the one thing that really worries them deeply. There are just so many things that can go wrong and there is no way to go back and try again. Catherine and I worked together for a year at Getty Images, where I saw how she manages to remain calm and incredibly organized no matter how daunting the task. She has an amazing aptitude for dealing with tricky situations combined with exceptional photographic talents and an artistic eye. She is more than well-equipped to take on the most daunting of professional photographic pursuits--the wedding.

Catherine was so amazing to work with as a photographer. She made us feel comfortable and at ease on such a big day! With her hard work and close attention to detail, there was no doubt that our photographs would turn out unbelievably. We will be blessed forever with her beautiful prints on the walls of our home!

Catherine was great to work with. She took time to get to know us, so when the wedding day came she was easy to work with. After seeing her work we knew the pictures would be good, but they were even better than we expected--these pictures could have been in a couture fashion magazine. She is a real professional--not only in the quality of her images, but also how she works with people. She came highly recommended and exceeded my expectations.

We really love that Catherine played such an integral role in our wedding. She became a fast friend and consequently stayed right in the moment with us the whole night. We missed her when she left at the end of the night! Her images are not only artful, but they also capture the feeling of the night. As an overwhelmed bride, it was wonderful to have total confidence that our wedding would be captured poignantly and in its entirety. It has been such a fun surprise to see beautiful photos of small, spontaneous moments that I didn't even know were happening. I've watched her image narration piece about 50 times already and still cry. It's stunning and our family will treasure it for generations to come. Dave and I thank her from the bottom of our hearts.

Unless you're a celebrity, Having pictures taken of you can be a nerve-wracking experience. Not with Catherine. She made me laugh and put me at ease. It shows in the photos.

Catherine perfectly captured the celebratory spirit of Brooke’s and Dave's wedding. The entire wedding experience is reflected in beautifully rendered and wonderfully poignant visual image. She is a master photographer...and lots of fun, too! We thank her for all that she contributed to our most precious event.

The difference between a good photographer and a great one is all about passion. Not only is Catherine Hall's work outstanding, but her passion for the art of photography is virtually unmatched. Applying her skills as a photojournalist to wedding photography creates a style that can only bring smiles to the faces of her clients!

Catherine is a unique person who radiates a love of people, as demonstrated through her dedication to her art. The bride and groom kissed *her on there walk from the alter--who *is this amazing woman?!

Catherine was adorable, calming, and helped everyone relax and get into the moment of magic! What a magnificent presence she has. I thank her for being so wonderful with Molly, my daughter. It was instantly apparent why Molly chose Catherine over any other photographer out there. I think after meeting Catherine, it's a "no contest" situation! I look forward to seeing all the pictures and once again sharing in the magic of the evening.

I showed Catherine’s pictures to some bookers at Elle Magazine, and they love her photos of Blair and me so much that they booked me for their special April editorial. I really loved working with her, and would definitely love to shoot with her again!

Catherine creates beautiful work. We could not be happier with our photos. Every time we look at them, the day again comes alive. She was such a pleasure, adding to the beauty of our special day. Every single person that looks at our pictures says they are the best wedding pictures ever!

Catherine got ALL the shots! Wedding photography with a flair!

Catherine is such an amazing photographer! I knew that before I hired her--but we just received our engagement photos, and they blew us away.

Having Catherine as our photographer, I knew the photos would be outstanding. Not only is she incredibly professional, she has a way of making people feel at ease, thereby allowing her to capture genuine emotions. We actually had a guest approach us the day following our ceremony, saying that she wanted to hire Catherine to shoot her daughter's wedding because Catherine had done such a great job. Ironically, the guest hadn't even seen the pictures yet--she was just so impressed with Catherine’s manner and shooting style that she knew the images must have been fantastic (which they were).

Unless you're a celebrity, Having pictures taken of you can be a nerve-wracking experience. Not with Catherine. She made me laugh and put me at ease. It shows in the photos.

Catherine is an incredible photographer, and I highly recommend her. She captured my wedding day with skill and grace. At times, I forgot she was even there. She manages the delicate balance of being in the right place at the right time, without intruding on intimate moments. She not only got all the shots we wanted but superseded our expectations with incredibly emotional pictures we never dreamed of getting. I highly recommend her to the discerning bride who wants natural photos that look like they belong in a wedding magazine!

I highly recommend Catherine Hall. Not only did she make the day even more enjoyable with her jovial personality and glowing smile, but the images themselves exceeded any expectations I had. Friends and family that have seen the images continue to tell me they have never seen wedding photos like Catherine's. They have so much life to them. Thank you, Catherine.

Catherine had the perfect balance of easy going personality and exceptional work ethic. She did an amazing job.

I'm so happy Catherine was Alyssa’s & Brett's photographer--it’s the best decision Alyssa made, after saying yes to Brett!

After looking at Catherine's website, I just fell in love with her photographs. Everything from the color to the composition--I was obsessed! The experience of having her come to Tahoe for our wedding day was more then I could have asked for. I had total confidence that she'd capture all of those special moments and she did it in such a casual way that I didn't feel like I was spending the entire wedding in front of the camera. It seemed effortless and when I look at the photos I am transported back to our wedding and I am left with a huge smile on my face. Thank you, Catherine, for your free spirit, professionalism, and above all creativity. Truly brilliant!
