    Stress free

    We ended up having a micro wedding during the pandemic which threw everything we had planned for our special day out the window. Cathy was more than accommodating with continuing to go along with our new plan. She went above and beyond for us and we appreciate her kindness and her talent. She captured some beautiful shots of our family and I’m so grateful! I would highly recommend Cathy Smith Photography for your special occasion!

    Trusting and stress free

    Cathy is very professional and good with capturing the moment even if in our instance weren’t sure what we were looking for. We asked her to take the lead and trusted her eye and experience in capturing our special day.

    I first found Cathy by searching for an affordable wedding photographer in Hampton Roads and I am so glad that I did! We just got our photos back and couldn't be happier. We had a great time working with her at our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. She really makes an effort to get to know the couple and what their vision is for their wedding photos with her Bride Guide. I requested a few specific photos that I really wanted to get and she made sure they happened. She will definitely be hearing from us for more photo shoots in the future!

    Cathy was the perfect person to capture our day! I never thought I could look that good in a picture. My eyes are always closed or I have a strange look on my face. I don't know how she did it but Cathy delivered the best pictures I have ever seen! Even with all the madness trying to get on base to the chapel, she kept her cool and delivered. She has a great professional demeanor. I will be using her again every chance I get!!!

    Recommended for wedding

    My experience with Cathy was great. I love her photos, that bring all good memories of my wedding. My wedding was rather simple, so I asked her for a basic option to photograph ceremony & family and friend photos & reception & little extra for just us couple. In a short time, she delivered everything I asked for, and with a great quality. After the photo shooting, she also offered to edit a few photos as I asked for. Overall, she was very professional, easy to work with, flexible, and also reasonable in pricing.

    Wedding and Engagement Session

    Cathy was extremely easy to work with and work for. She was timely, professional, and personable.

    When booking our wedding, she provided an engagement session and large, solid prints of our wedding photos. She provided all prints within about a month and everything was done beautifully.

    She was extremely easy and low maintenance, and I have referred her to several of our friends.

    Better than I could have ever hoped!

    I asked Cathy to do our engagement photos and be our wedding photographer. It was the best decision I made. She was amazing and she made sure everything ran smoothly. I'm normally very camera shy, but Cathy put me at ease and made it fun. I now have her beautiful pictures to cherish forever. And she is such a sweet woman too! I can't recommend her enough!!

    Cathy was such a great choice for our wedding! She was so nice and easy going when we had no idea what to do! She had so many great ideas and really made all the colors come out in the pictures. She really helped make our day so special!

    Wedding 03/31/2017

    Cathy did an engagement shoot prior to the wedding day. The quality time getting to know the photographer was great. Being able to create a bond with the photographer before the big day makes it not so awkward on the wedding day! You’ll know a little bit about her as well as her business and how dedicated she is to get the best photos she can. Both sets of pictures came out great! Engagement and wedding! I am so in love with them. Would definitely recommend Cathy for any event!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to working with Cathy!! She really took the time to get to know me and understand Jeremy and I to make sure we were completely comfortable with taking photos due to previous experiences with other photographers. On our wedding day she captured every moment beautifully!! She went out of her way to make sure she got every thing I wanted covered and got a lot of small details I will treasure for the rest of my life. If you’re looking for a laid back, absolutely amazing photographer look no further because this is your lady!!!

    The best from engagement to big day!

    Saw Cathy in action for our friends’ wedding and the photos after and knew she would be perfect for us, too. She really captures the “special something” in all her couples. It’s awesome having so many fantastic images that look exactly how amazing our wedding day felt!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Working with Cathy was amazing! She took the time to get to know us before hand which made working with her that much more enjoyable. We have loved every photo she had given us from our engagement photos to every single picture taken at our wedding! Plus her prices are reasonable! We look forward to working with her again!!

    Cathy is an incredibly gifted photographer, very easy to work with, and very personable. She did an outstanding job for our wedding and gave us pictures that tell the entire story of our wedding. We have gorgeous photos we will use to remember the day for many years to come. We were very fortunate to have found her and would recommend her to everyone!

    Cathy Smith was absolutely amazing to work with and did a great job capturing all the love at our country wedding in Pungo, VA Beach! She did a great job at coaching us with poses and was super flexible! My husband and I would highly recommend her services to anyone interested in professional photography! Her photos were beautiful! Also, she included a engagement session within her price and that was helpful to us financially!

    After searching through MANY photographers in the Hampton Roads area my husband and I found Cathy. Initially her quality portfolio and affordable packages are what were attractive to us (what she offers costs double her price if you are looking at other notable photographers in the area). After emailing back and forth a bit (her responsiveness is awesome, which is a huge relief for a stressed bride) and meeting with her face to face to go over what she offers in more detail, we decided to hire her! And honestly, it was 100% the BEST decision we could have made.

    After having a our complimentary engagement shoot and getting those photos back, it made us SO incredibly...

    We live in North Carolina and planned a wedding at Virginia Beach. After talking to several photographers, I felt that Cathy Smith Photography would fit our needs. We were more than pleased with her and the photos she took. I would definitely use her again.

    Cathy was amazing! She was willing to travel for our engagement session(for a small fee), she arrived early to our event and was over prepared for everything. She was super easy going, funny and really down to earth making it easy for my husband and I to relax. Thank you Cathy!!

    Cathy did an awesome job on our engagement and wedding photos! We found her randomly online and are so glad we did! She was so easy and fun to work with, and her prices were very reasonable. She did a phenomenal job at capturing details and special moments from getting ready before the ceremony to dancing the night away on the dance floor. I highly recommend Cathy Smith Photography to anyone looking for high quality, reasonably priced, and beautifully captured photos!

    Thank you, Cathy, for beautifully capturing those special memories for us!

    Cathy and her teammate were absolutely AMAZING and their work is like magic! They were incredibly professional and provided the highest quality of service. They captured our traditional Pakistani wedding beautifully. They made us dorky couple look beautiful! Even though we had limited time before getting into the venue, they managed to take a lot of beautifully posed and candid photos. I have enjoyed their work immensely and I will definitely recommend them for any and every occasion!
    Five stars, hands down :)
