The granddaughter of two gardeners, I have always felt a connection to the earth through the soil. When someone brings flowers into a room, something changes...an energy, an excitement! I love being able to bring that kind of beauty into peoples lives. I'm a small-town girl who enjoys anything that involves working with my hands from cooking to knitting. I'm a total animal lover (partial to dogs), a die-hard Grey's Anatomy fan, and I take my martinis extra dirty. When I'm not flowering in our studio in Milford, Connecticut, I'm mommin' to three amazing little boys (our dog Pippa and cat, Galaxy).

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
“We absolutely loved working with Cate! We scheduled an engagement shoot so we were able to meet and get to know each other about a year before our wedding and got the most beautiful photos, we just knew we made the right choice. We received a “sneak peek” with over soo many photos a week after our wedding and we are blown away, I can’t believe we are still going to receive more. Cate captured our joy and love so spectacularly and we have seen some amazing, touching candids of us and our guests, and some incredibly fun dance floor shots already. She is very sweet, great at giving direction, easy to communicate with, and really hypes you up when she’s taking your photos! 10/10 would book again. She rules!”

“As someone with a background in the events and music industry, my standards for production are incredibly high. Edwin (DJ Konsept) completely exceeded them for my wife Emily and my wedding in Montauk, NY. From our first conversation, Edwin was the consummate professional. His communication is exceptional- he is highly responsive, asked detailed questions to understand our specific vision, took careful notes, and was completely open to direction. We gave him a complex, multi-stage run-of-show, and he executed every phase flawlessly. He managed our outdoor ceremony, providing perfectly balanced mics and audio so everyone could hear our vows. He then seamlessly transitioned to setting the mood for our outdoor cocktail hour, and ultimately closed the night out by crushing a high-energy indoor afterparty. He arrived over-prepared with backup equipment and intuitively grasped the distinct musical vibe needed for each portion of the day. Technically, Edwin is a master. His beat-matching, transitions, and ability to read a room's energy are unmatched. He completely avoided the typical "cheesy" wedding tracks, weaving together exactly the right mix to keep our guests engaged. Furthermore, his pricing is incredibly fair and transparent, offering immense value for the high-end talent and peace of mind he brings to the table. If you want an incredibly talented, stress-free professional who operates with style and a cool, collected energy, you need to hire Edwin. He made our wedding day absolutely magical!”

“I would 10/10 recommend Raquel and her team at RS Event Co. to plan your next big event! I knew from our first meeting that I could put my trust in her to coordinate everything for the day of my wedding. From answering all of our questions throughout the planning process to coordinating with vendors month of, and handling the elements day of, she did an exceptional job. Her professionalism, organization, and friendliness put us at ease and we were able to enjoy a perfect day without worry. I could not stress enough that you definitely need at least day of coordination for your wedding, and Raquel is the one to provide that service to you! Thank you, Raquel!”

“Our wedding was the most magical and perfect day. We received ENDLESS compliments on our florals. Lindsay made our wildflower wedding come to life. I ended up getting my bouquet pressed and framed because of how stunning it was. All of the colors, all of the pastel candles, it was so romantic and was a dream. We love her and recommend her to everyone we know. She is so personable.”

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. I keep things quick and easy while also catching the essence of you, making your time with me effortless and enjoyable.

“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 got married here and it could have not been a better day. It was truly the best day ever. Everything was so seamless, no stress whatsoever. Suzie and Emily were the dream team! The entire staff at Great River was amazing, so helpful, and kind. The food was delicious. All of our guests loved the venue. The French fry bar at the end of the night was a hit! From the first meeting, to the day after picking up our wedding supplies, everything was so easy and seamless. The staff at Great River decorated and set everything up with no questions asked on our side! We had complete faith that they would set everything up perfectly and they did. The food tasting was also amazing! It was so fun meeting with Chef Matt. We even did the custom chocolates for our favor and they were the perfect touch. Thank you to everyone at Great River for making our special day, that much more special. It was the most perfect day.”
