That’s my actual superpower.
The story you mentioned once at your engagement session about your sister? I know it. The family dynamic you nervously mentioned on our first phone date? Already factored in. The surprise your mom is planning at the end of the night? I'll be there before you arrive.
Look, I'm not going to pretend the photos don't matter, they absolutely do, and after 200+ weddings, I know exactly how to get them.
Making you feel so comfortable, so taken care of, so genuinely in your day that you forget you ever had a single nerve about any of it.
I walk into a room, read the energy, get your wedding party loose, and make your parents feel like they're in good hands, all before I've taken a single photo.
"My sister was talking to Cat at the wedding and mentioned a story. Cat right away knew the story and my sister said how did you know this?! Cat replied I've known for a year! That right there shows you how dedicated she is to your life and family. This is what makes her so special.”
Here’s what actually happens when you book DeLine Photography:
A month out, we do a full photography walkthrough together so you walk into your wedding with zero question marks.
Then day of (or weekend of), I show up as someone you already know, trust, and like, who happens to have two cameras, a colorful suit, and a plan for literally everything.
Before your engagement session, we do a styling appointment so you show up feeling like a total hottie and can just enjoy it. Your questionnaire? Designed to be a date night.
We kick things off with a proper phone date to make sure we're both feeling it. Then I build your collection around your wedding.
Four months out, I'm already deep in your timeline, coordinating with your planner, your hair and makeup team, and every moving part.
Your entire wedding experience, start to finish. The whole damn weekend if you want it.
Wardrobe, details, and overall feel are thought through with you, so you show up looking and feeling exactly right.
Because you'll be checking your phone approximately every four minutes after your wedding, and we both know it.
Timelines, family dynamics, and vendor coordination are handled ahead of time
Your photos don’t sit in a gallery you never open again. We design it, order it, and hang it on your wall.
These are going to be some of your favorite photos ever! That's why I refuse to let them sit in a forgotten online gallery.
A few years ago, my family found my grandparents’ wedding album over 50 years after their wedding day. Until that moment, I had almost no photos of my grandmother, the woman I'm named after and the person I've always been told I look and act like.
When I photograph you, I'm not just thinking about what you'll post next week. I'm thinking about who finds these images 50 years from now.
Every gallery I deliver, every album I design, every piece we put on your wall is built to transcend the moment it was taken.
I take care of the details, you make the final decisions, and when it's finished, the art is delivered and installed for you.
We require a planner for every wedding we photograph because the best days aren't pulled off alone.
I work closely with your planner and vendors to keep communication clear, timelines dialed in, and everything aligned behind the scenes so you have absolutely nothing to stress about but soaking up the love and partying with your people.
“I have been with my husband for 11 years and our engagement photos with Cat are the ONLY photos I have of him smiling. So if your partner isn't into photos and you feel like you gotta bribe them, Cat is your girl.”
