About Cat Alkire Photography
Cat Alkire Photography
Fueled by equal parts Coca-Cola and passion, I spend my days capturing the kinds of images that make you stop, smile and ask time to please slow down. Your story, your love, is beautiful and I can't wait to capture it in images you will treasure for years to come. I believe in real moments and heartfelt conversations over coffee. And, in the kinds of images that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments together.
I try to be a calm in the storm that can be wedding planning. I am here for you as a resource for all things wedding, not just photography. When I say I am here for you I MEAN it. I will advocate for you, cheer you on, and be your biggest hype girl before, during and after the wedding planning process. I am here for connections.

Typically, couples book me about 15-18 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
I always have an extra photographer with me! Sometimes I will bring an assistant to help with gear/help corral the wedding party. But I will let you know ahead of time if I will be bringing a third assistant!
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful and match my style and aesthetic.
No, I prefer focusing on photography only, so you can get the best wedding pictures possible. But I do have some great videographer recommendations!
I post sneak peeks the day after your wedding on Instagram. And then I post a blog within a week of your wedding. At that time you will have access to all those blog images to share, print, use to get started on thank you cards. Full galleries take 6-8 weeks from your wedding day to receive the images via your online gallery.
You can expect about 80 to 100 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
In my 10 years of experience as a wedding photographer, I’ve never cancelled a booking. In the very rare event that I’m unable to photograph your wedding, I’ll make sure you’re covered by one of my colleagues or my contracted assistant. I’ll also provide you with a list of photographers from the many networking groups I’m in, so you can find the perfect replacement.
I do! Just let me know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and I’ll send that over to them.
YAY!!! I do require a contract to be signed and a non-refundable retainer of $1200. Once those are done I am yours for your wedding date! All my contracts and invoicing are done online!
