About Cat Alkire Photography

Cat Alkire Photography

Owner, Lead Photographer

For Couples Who Value Elegant, Emotional, and Time-Honored StorytellingEvery image I capture is rooted in reverence and connection. With over 15 years of experience, I’m here to walk beside you—not just as your photographer, but as a calming presence and trusted guide throughout your wedding journey.

Whether I’m pinning a boutonniere, fluffing your dress, or dancing along when Mr. Brightside hits the playlist—I’m all in. 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?

    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.

    Working alongside Cat Alkire Photography is always a joy. Cat has an effortless way of making everyone feel at ease, allowing her to capture the most genuine, heartfelt moments. Her work is not only visually stunning—it's filled with emotion, intention, and timeless beauty. From a vendor's perspective, she’s incredibly professional, collaborative, and brings a calm, uplifting energy to every wedding day. Her images don’t just document the day—they tell the story. Truly exceptional in every way.

    Cat was wonderful to work with! She was always quick to communicate and was always open to questions. She made me feel comfortable with the photos every step of the process. And her work is wonderful!!
