Being someone who is obsessed with photographs i researched wedding photographers for weeks until i finally came across Catherine Mackenzie and instantly knew she was the right person for the job. We met with Catherine a few times before the wedding and as my nerves increased with each visit Catherine did everything she could to make me feel at ease! On the morning of the wedding when she arrived at the hotel i knew everything was going to be ok. Catherine while being professional made the photographs seem effortless and even my husband said the photos being taken was one of his favourite parts

Catherine was our photographer on our wedding day in Sept 2017 & I really cannot recommend this lady enough...She's so talented, creative & down to earth. A fine eye for detail & will go above and beyond to ensure the best pictures are got. We didn't even know she was there half the time & a lot of our guest commented this to us also. Were a very family orientated couple and this was very much captured. We love all 497 of them . Thank you so so much for capturing precious moments from our special day

Catherine did a portrait session with my daughter, from start to finish it was fantastic! She had a lovely way with my daughter making the whole session fun and relaxing. The end photographs were amazing! I couldn't recommend her highly enough. If you are looking for something really special Catherine is lady for the job!
