Cate Barry Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Branford, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a wedding planner, I've referred Cate Barry Photography countless times because I know their work and client experience are truly unparalleled. Cate has a calming, professional demeanor that puts couples at ease on one of their most stressful days. She is consistently reliable, on-time, and open in their communication, which reduces so much of the typical wedding planning stress. The quality of her work is nothing short of perfection - her creative, unique approach captures the magic of each couple's special day in a way that feels both timeless and fresh. I love working with Cate and her team because I know my clients will not only receive stunning, heirloom-worthy photos, but they'll also have the best experience from start to finish.

When I first started wedding photography, I didn’t realize how quickly I would fall in love! Through my clients I have had the pleasure of watching many love stories come to fruition, capturing their most special day. Wedding photography is not just a job, it’s a true passion that I do because I love it. The long wedding days, the planning - I cherish every moment of it!

Ephe was the best photographer ever. I was one of the last people in my friend group to get married and I’ve seen some photography disasters happen the day of. Ephe had none of that and all of my friends loved her and her work ethic. She is very punctual and organized. She understood the vibe that I was going for and she had my sneak peeks and all of my wedding pictures edited super quick! I wish I lived closer to Ephe so I could hire her for all of my photography needs.

  • Photojournalistic style

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Sam did an incredible job capturing our wedding photos! Their creativity and attention to detail made every moment feel special. Sam had a fantastic ability to make us feel comfortable and relaxed, resulting in natural, candid shots that truly reflected our love.

  • Serves Branford, CT

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I specialize in backyard weddings and small celebrations. I connect best with couples who might include their dog in the ceremony, make their day uniquely theirs, and don't sweat the small stuff. A jar of wildflowers is as interesting to me as a perfectly crafted orchid bouquet. I love documenting the small moments and details, and I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. My face always hurts from smiling so much on my drive home! I know how to take charge for posed portraits (and always do some!) but I prefer to capture moments as they happen. I've been a photographer full-time for over fifteen years.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s hard to imagine our wedding without Stephanie’s calm presence and gorgeous photos. We had a very small wedding (28 people) at a vineyard in Connecticut. Stephanie captured the intimacy of our event and so many wonderful spontaneous moments. She has the uncanny ability to let the wedding flow unhindered, and yet - when the moment comes for that great snapshot - she is in the right place at the right time! For our wedding, some of my favorite photos were taken at dusk, when the kids were ready to let off some steam and went outside to run through the rows of grapevines. Stephanie’s photos embody the freedom and joy of those stolen moments. She is a true artist - and a lovely, warm person. I highly recommend her.

Hi there! My name is Chris Randall. I'm a wedding photographer based in New Haven, Connecticut. I've been photographing weddings for twelve years and have photographed over 100 weddings. I absolutely love capturing the magic that exists between two people on the biggest day of their lives! It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly and I see it as an honor.

Chris took photos of our wedding and we can't say enough great things about him. As you can tell from his website, the quality of the pictures he takes is outstanding. We loved how his pictures captured the essence of moments without resorting to excessive editing or effects. What you can't tell from his website is that Chris is great and easy to work with. He was responsive, suggested great locations for a photo shoot, adapted plans to stay on schedule, and was an overall calming presence. We also loved that Chris gave us full rights to our photos, meaning that we don't have to pay to download or print them. Overall very highly recommended!

I’m Rob Skinner, a wedding photographer documenting couples in love throughout Connecticut, New England, and beyond. If you’re looking for a photography experience that is easy and stress-free, then I’m excited to join you on this journey. I’ll record your first day of marriage beautifully with natural prompts and give you timeless wedding photos that will bring you joy for a lifetime.

Rob Skinner Photography was an ideal choice for our elopement at city hall. From the very beginning, Rob’s communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, he arrived early and guided us in capturing natural, genuine moments. He helped us pose and move in ways that felt relaxed and authentic. The final photos are stunning, with a level of detail my husband and I truly value. Beyond the reasonable pricing for a one-hour elopement, what stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire experience. In just one hour, he captured over 1,000 photos, ensuring no special moment was missed. We’re so happy we chose Rob Skinner Photography and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.

We are Jasmine Tianna Photography, a wedding photography business located in Connecticut. We believe a couple's love story deserves to be captured in the most beautiful way possible. Recognizing that a wedding is a singular moment in time, we'll capture it in away that envelopes intimacy and romance. Trying to capture every detail with a stylish, journalistic approach so the pictures can be enjoyed for many years to come.

Jasmine was an easy choice to pick. From first reaching out until the end of wedding night, she was always kind, prompt and professional. She did our engagement photos and spent 8 hours with us on our wedding day. Photos from both days turned out ethereal, beautiful and stunning. We are obsessed with them. Me and my now husband are very camera shy and she made us feel and look great. Her photographic eye is really out of this world, she sees the beauty in any setting or back drop and captures it on camera. Her portfolio speaks for itself, I would hire her again without hesitation. Thank you Jasmine!

David's career began when he switched majors from graphic design to photography in college. His style of photography is unique, taking advantage of natural light, insisting on quality, and bringing out the best in his subjects. Many years of experience have given him the ability to make the best of his surroundings and create a comfortable environment while managing a shoot.

We recently had the incredible opportunity to work with David as our wedding photographer, and our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From our initial meeting, David demonstrated a deep understanding of our vision and was genuinely enthusiastic about capturing our special day. His helpfulness and guidance throughout the entire process were invaluable. David also did our engagement shoot, and the photos turned out stunning. He has a remarkable ability to capture the essence of the moment, and those initial photos only heightened our excitement for the wedding day. On the day of our wedding, David’s presence was a true blessing. He kept everyone calm and composed, which is no small feat on such an emotional day. His approach was patient and unhurried, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment without feeling rushed. David’s skill in directing group shots was impressive, ensuring everyone knew where to be and what to do, which made for smooth and efficient photo sessions. One of the things we appreciated most was David’s consideration for our comfort. He allowed us to take breaks when needed, maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the day. This thoughtful approach helped us stay refreshed and present, making the entire experience more memorable. The pictures David took were nothing short of breathtaking. Each photo beautifully captured the joy, love, and magic of our wedding day. Rachel, who assisted David, was equally fantastic. Her attention to detail and support throughout the day enhanced the overall experience and ensured everything went smoothly. In conclusion, we cannot recommend David highly enough. His and Rachel’s professionalism, talent, and warm personalities made our wedding day truly unforgettable. We are forever grateful for the incredible photos and the wonderful memories they captured for us. Thank you, David and Rachel, for your exceptional work and dedication.

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

He took the time to get to know us and find out what we were looking for, and then took those ideas and helped create the magical memories we will have forever. Photos were such a stress free part of the day, and this was all because of the relationship Vaughn built with us prior to our wedding day. I could go on and on, but if you are looking for someone to help your vision come true, look no further!

I cannot say enough good things about our photographer/videographer from sound originals. Our photographer was on it. She paid attention to details, she hyped us all up and never made us feel awkward, communication was excellent, she even helped me put my veil on. Above all else the photographs she captured exceeded every expectation I had. I am the kind of person to take a million pictures of myself and hate them all, but I looked beautiful in every picture. My confidence after seeing those pictures has skyrocketed. She was a true gem of a human, the sidekick every bride needs. She knew when I had enough of posing for photos and wanted to get back to the party, and she never made us feel bad about it at all. I wish for every bride to have an amazing team behind them and just know if you choose to go with sound originals, you will.

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

From the first phone call with Pavel, I knew we were going to have an amazing team. Pavel was so incredibly thorough and reassuring and helped create a perfect timeline for the day. The team, Eddy, Rob & Dave, were so charismatic and knowledgeable. They knew exactly what to do and what instructions to give my husband and I to create the most beautiful and intimate photos. We’re a little camera shy, so the fact they were able to direct us and make us feel comfortable shows their expertise. We are so beyond happy with our photos, full length video and highlight reels. Also - I have to say, the team is so great at capturing AMAZING candids during the party! There were times I didn’t even know they were behind me, and I am so happy to have all these moments captured. I did not feel like I had a camera in my face during the party at all! We had 3K AMAZING photos to look through, and EVERY photo is fantastic.

I was overwhelmed when navigating how to choose a wedding photographer. I knew I wanted someone whose work accurately reflected the day and the people photographed, what better way than choose someone who had photographed me beautifully at a wedding! Emily was the photographer at my now SIL & BIL’s wedding. I loved her editing style and her speed of getting the right picture. I have never really loved how I look in photos, and I am hardly in front of the camera. At our engagement photoshoot at home, Emily made me feel completely at ease, and really captured great angles and unique ideas! Not only did I love how she photographed me, but I loved that it was honest. Emily shot our welcome party and our wedding. It was like see an old friend! Our guests were in awe of the photos and loved Emily’s personality. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and possibly the most gorgeous I have ever attended, I am so glad I trusted Emily to capture the memories! What will not be shared on her public gallery are all the photos of our nieces and nephews! Emily photographed my SIL & BIL at our wedding and it was so heart warming and deeply meaningful!

With our three friends in tow, Bryan followed the group through our neighborhood to the subway, to the Clerk’s Office for the ceremony, and then for some pictures at the waterfront. He was able to capture every moment along the way and captured the best NYC wedding pictures one could ask for. If you’re planning a courthouse wedding (or any wedding) in New York City, I can’t recommend Bryan enough. He is not only incredibly talented but also incredibly kind and dedicated to making sure your special day is captured in the most beautiful way. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime! Thank you, Bryan!

We are Mark & Brittany Edman, NJ based wedding team. Mark created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. As your lead shooter, he had a passion for photography his entire life, capturing moments around him in the most authentic ways until one day Brittany told him “go full time”, it was insane. He fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Coming home so happy with unique stories and photos from all over the state, Brittany knew she needed to join him on wedding days. Having a background in hospitality for 20 years Brittany began coordinating the day alongside Mark.

Mark and Brittany are truly exceptional at what they do. My husband and I are not typically in front of a camera, but Mark made us instantly comfortable in a way that allowed him to truly capture the moment between us instead of feeling like models posing for a job. We had a small wedding with no formal wedding planner or runner for the day, but Brittany and Mark helped everything to go smoothly, and we truly couldn’t have done it without them. Beyond all that, the images are truly breathtaking. Mark has an intrinsic ability to scan a space and find the most beautiful piece of it. I have never seen the inside of a train station look so magical! If you choose This Insane Idea for your special day, you will not be disappointed!
