I bring a calm presence when you need to breathe, a pep talk when nerves kick in, and genuine joy for celebrating alongside you. With years of experience, I know when to step in, when to blend in, and how to make you feel seen and completely at ease. Sound like the kind of presence you want by your side on your wedding day?

Beautiful experience
From the time we first spoke to the delivery of our wedding gallery, Cat Alkire has been unbelievably impressive in all aspects. Cat’s brand extends far beyond her beautiful work. She is level headed and able to adapt on the fly, strategic and visionary in her art, and a joy to spend time with. We felt like we were at once collaborating with an old friend as well as partnering with an innovative and brilliant professional. Her work speaks for itself, but her character, personality and thoughtfulness made our experience even more elevated. We are so grateful for the time we got to work with Cat and for the memories she captured.

I cannot say enough good things about Cat and her team. She essentially quarterbacked our entire wedding, coordinating with all the vendors and putting us at ease throughout the process. And the photos all came out great - they perfectly encapsulated our special day. Choosing Cat for your wedding is a no-brainer.

Their communication style is professional, seamless, and detailed, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for their clients. The quality of their work is refined, breathtaking, and intentional, capturing the beauty and emotion of each special day with an artistic eye. Cat and her team go above and beyond, thinking about the couple's needs on the wedding day, from carrying essential items in case of inclement weather to having clear, detailed plans and constant communication with the wedding party and coordinators.

Working with Cat Alkire Photography is an absolute joy, and I highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, reliable, and attentive wedding photographer.
