We were so lucky to have found Catherine. She is AMAZING! My husband and I hate having our photo taken and we were nervous about having a photoshoot session for our wedding. She managed to direct us well and made us feel comfortable. Catherine listened really well to what we wanted but also made amazing suggestions for different shoot locations that we loved. We received our photos back faster than expected and I just cried when I saw them. They were so beautiful and I couldn’t believe that they were of us. Every single friend/family member of ours can not stop talking about how incredible our photos are. We are so happy!”

“I just wanted to thank you for the time you spent with us on September 20, and the absolutely stunning photos that you captured for us while we were in Paris! It was such a memorable vacation for us, which you captured beautifully, and we will always have these photos to look back on and remember the amazing time we had in Europe. We really enjoyed our time with you, and you made it so much fun and helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I just wanted you to know how much we appreciate your time and creativity, and how much these photos mean. They are so very special to us!
Thanks again!”

“The photos are gorgeous! You are so amazing. We are so lucky to have had you photograph our family. Whenever we come back to Paris we will be sure to reach out to you again for another photo session. And if you ever find yourself in the USA East Coast let us know. Thanks again!”

Fun. Funny. Confident. Professional. Excellent. Catherine spent our special day with us visiting several of the most iconic spots in Paris before joining us at our ceremony. She spent the day making us belly laugh while seamlessly taking a perfectly comprehensive and beautiful portfolio of photos that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

She captured some of the sweetest and funniest moments of our ceremony and dinner as well as capturing the essence of what we loved about our venue. If you are having an event anywhere in or around Paris and she isn’t your photographer now, you are making a mistake. She is the perfect blend of absolute excellence at her craft with that most endearing of Irish humor. She made herself very available leading up to the day and her follow up with our wedding photos was better and faster than promised with a very user-friendly download site. We can't recommend Catherine enough!

Catherine you are a very talented, sweet lady! We are finally home and enjoying our beautiful photographs. Sending you lots of love from California!

As a former marketing photographer I was often asked if I would consider doing Wedding Photography. And, just as often, I would excuse myself and explain that the stress of getting it right, the first time, every time, was too much for me. I knew my limits.

You, on the other hand, have done for my son and daughter-in-law, with great precision, that very thing.  You got it right, the first time, every time!  You are a true professional…..Justin and Colleen were very fortunate to have you record their special event.

Lauren & Bryan

“We wanted to write to thank you again for capturing our special day with us. You were awesome and really made the whole experience relaxing and fun, which is EXACTLY what we wanted. Attached are a couple of shots of you doing your thing which we thought you might find fun!
We look forward to seeing all the shots!!”

Jessi & Aaron

“What a wonderful surprise to get these back so quickly! And oh my goodness we are just so thrilled with the photos! They are truly stunning and your unique style and vision are so perfect. We cannot thank you enough for so wonderfully capturing our celebration! We love that you managed to capture our excitement as well as the calm energy of the city with some shots that aren’t just the norm (we really love the ones from the bridge- and it was such a fun memory because everyone was honking and waving and giving us thumbs ups!)
Spending the morning shooting around the city with you was so much fun- and spending a few hours laughing together (even when we were supposed to be looking serious- oops!) in the quiet city set a calm intentionality focused on the two of us that was actually a really nice way to start off a chaotic day where we were pulled in so many different directions with family and friends.
Thank you for making everything from the planning to the day- of so easy, being so flexible, and giving the perfect amount of direction so that the photos look totally natural- but definitely the best versions of our awkward selves ”

Michelle & Randy

‘She is an artist with a gifted eye to choreograph and capture a REAL moment. We wanted photos that illustrated life and love. Catherine didn’t achieve that once, she captured the essence of our passion 622 times. Two of my co-workers made her photos their screensavers, and dozens asked if our pictures came out of a magazine. To top everything off, Catherine is very professional, kind, and funny; we wanted to hang out with her after the shoot!’

Aparna

Thank you for sending these over so quickly! David and I LOVE the pictures. It's quite awesome that you were able to capture the essence of us and made the picture taking experience a non-stressful experience.

My wife and I were married in Paris a few months ago, and being that we live in California, there were several aspects to our wedding that required thorough research. Arguably the most critical of these areas involved hiring the right photographer.

After researching wedding photographers in the area, there was one that continued to surface with overwhelmingly positive reviews, and that person was Catherine O’Hara. Upon hiring Catherine, we had several questions regarding the process of wedding photography, and she promptly, patiently, and professionally answered every one. As we neared the big day, Catherine gave us several recommendations and thorough details about the event. She was completely flexible and understanding, and was committed to making sure we were totally satisfied with the wedding day game plan. Her knowledge of Paris coupled with her obviously vast expertise helped put our minds at ease and gave us one less thing to worry about.

We met Catherine the day of our wedding, and she could not have been more professional and down-to-business, yet comforting and sweet. She guided the process with efficiency while making sure we never once felt rushed or uncomfortable. I am not comfortable at all in front of cameras, but with Catherine instructing us, I felt like an absolute natural.

I was mesmerized by how well she knew Paris and what a keen eye she had for photographically desirable poses and landscapes. Although she had incredible ideas, she was open to and interested in hearing ours. Interestingly, after working with her, I completely gave in and let her do her thing.

Catherine is a master at what she does. She is talented, knowledgeable, personable, artistic, creative, and kind. We left Paris feeling deeply satisfied not only having worked with her, but having met her in general. When Catherine sent us the photos a short time later, they quite literally took our breath away. Every single picture appeared to have come out of a wedding magazine or a Dior ad. We had no idea how she took two awkward people and turned them into professional models, but she did. Catherine O’Hara is special, and if you have the opportunity to work with her, take it, because it will be one of the best decisions you have ever made.

“Catherine was a dream to work with on our special day. We wanted to have a private ceremony and wedding photos taken in Paris this summer and so I reached out to Catherine after finding her on social media. She has a stunning portfolio with candid, natural photos. Leading up to the day, she was very responsive to emails - which is incredibly important when planning a wedding from a different continent. She even helped me with my dress and veil the day of and made sure transportation to the photo destinations went smoothly. She made us feel natural and comfortable in front of the camera with her swift and effective directions - which almost always made us laugh! Catherine is so accommodating and personable - we are so happy that we got to spend our day with her!”
