- What was your favorite wedding photo? !!!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? We couldn't be happier about the entire experience. Catara captured all of the special moments that we wanted and now we have a beautiful record of an incredible day! The fact that she doesn't "pose" everyone for pictures, is fantastic. She captures the moments as they happen..... AWESOME
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Engagement Pictures, Two Photographers and A Print Credit.

- What was your favorite wedding photo? There were so many, Catara has a great eye for setting up shots so that they're not too "formal", but more of a photo jounalistic style. One favorite is a picture of my husband and I and my two children, we're all sitting on the couch together, and Catara captured us looking so relaxed and happy. Another favorite is a candid shot of my husband holding my 3 year old son, my son has his head on my husband's shoulder and Brian is smiling at someone over my son's head. Adorable moment that captures how much they love each other.
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Catara was wonderful at keeping us on track, and there was no disruption at all to the day. She worked with us in advance to find out what pictures we definitely wanted, and the timing of the day, and she made sure that she captured the pictures that we wanted. I wanted a lot of candids and once the ceremony & reception started Catara and her assistant seamlessly blended into the background, taking tons of pictures but always remaining in the background. I was thrilled when I saw the pictures!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We had two photographers for the wedding, and we received a CD of all of our pictures, and an album. Catara was wonderful to work with, she kept in contact with us before and after the wedding day, and was always available if I had any questions.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Catara and her assistant were very easy going, and during the "formal" pictures, she had great ideas for poses and settings. She also made us laugh during these pictures, which made for some wonderful shots. She also reminded me after some of the family photos to make sure that we had some special shots of just my husband and I. We went to a spot on the golf course and took a good number of pictures that focused on us, and we had enough time to enjoy ourselves and not feel rushed, so I was pleased that she kept her eye on the clock and reminded me to take that time for those pictures. Catara also made my children (ages 3 & 8) feel extremely comfortable. She took some wonderful shots of my 3 year old blowing bubbles as he & I waited in the bride's room, he didn't even realize that his picture was being taken and he was just enjoying himself. Catara was always professional while being very calm & never rushing any of the photos. She was wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend her.

- What was your favorite wedding photo? They all were great, but I love the one of us under the tree.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? We got a cd of all of the pictures as well as prints and a canvas of our favorite picture, which looks like it came from a fairy tale. We also had 2 photographers.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Catara was so awesome. She made the schedule because I had no idea what I was doing and she kept us all on track; it all ran very smoothly. She was with me all day with her camera- from the salon to the reception- taking pictures of everything. After your wedding, you always say that there were things you would have done differently. Our choice for our photographer was NOT a mistake and that is not a mistake you want to make. I could not think of anything more important than picking out the right photographer. Remember, you are going to forget SO MUCH. So to have TWO photographers there the ENTIRE time, you can be sure they are not going to miss a thing. I highly recommend Catara and her husband. In fact, she is getting ready to take pictures of our new baby and also took my maternity pictures. She is WONDERFUL! Nothing was missed. Her husband is the second photographer and he was with the guys all day so I got to see what they did all day too. She knew exactly what we wanted and on her ideas where we weren't sure, she was right there to help us out- all before the wedding, of course. During the wedding, there were no problems. Last year, I was in a motorcycle accident and I asked if she could take the scar out in the pictures (it's on my forehead), which she did and you would never be able to tell it was there! We went to two destinations for the pictures- and we would have gone to more if that was what we wanted. She was very flexible- she even flew to Spokane for us!
