Cynthia and Michael’s wedding in Michigan City was a beautiful blend of Catholic tradition and lively celebration. Their ceremony at St. Mary’s Church was filled with stained glass light, family, and heartfelt moments, setting the tone for the day. Afterward, we traveled to Meadowlark in LaPorte for portraits, champagne, and the kind of easy laughter that makes photographing couples effortless.
Their highest priority was a gallery that reflected the joy they shared with their people, and their reception delivered from the very first moment. A mariachi band set the tone, the wedding party kept the energy high, and the traditional Mexican wedding snake dance, La Víbora de la Mar, became a highlight of the night, ending with guests lifting Michael into the air as everyone cheered around them.
Their gallery is filled with movement and emotion. Elegant church portraits, golden hour romance, a fiercely loyal wedding party, and a reception that never lost its spark. A day rooted in faith, family, and joy, photographed exactly as it felt.

My husband and I trusted Cat to capture our engagement and wedding and she set such a high standard. Cat helped us make it possible to shoot at our preferred location and helped put us at ease to create moments that we'll cherish forever. On our actual wedding day she helped keep the mood fun all the while sneakily capturing a combination or posed and candid photos. She provided a gallery of pure gold. So creative and willing to push past any barriers. I'm quite positive there isn't anything she can't do. She is timely, professional, charismatic, and she will get every good angle you're serving. Her choice for second shooter, Bethany, was just as equally wonderful. They create a dynamic duo that you absolutely need on your special occasions.
