Words from Cathy Chatterton's Clients...

"We are ECSTATIC about our pics!  They couldn't've turned out any better!  You truly did capture the joy we felt that day and the love and happiness of our friends and family.  You made each picture beautiful.  You captured moments in time that are such fond memories.  Looking through the hundreds of pictures brings us back to what a wonderful day it was and the intensity of the love we share and what that day meant to us.  We thank you for being you and for being so wonderful.  You have such skill and talent that it's truly amazing.  We've already shown friends in California and can't wait to show friends and family back in T.O. as well.  You're the BEST PHOTOGRAPHER EVER!"

-Rachel and Alex, August 2006

"I cannot even begin to describe how wonderful the pictures you took of our wedding are. All I've done since we picked them up is look at them over and over (well, as many times as you can when there are so many!). Every time I think I've found my favourite, I'll see another one and decide that that one is my favourite. You perfectly captured the fun we had and the personalities of ourselves and our friends and family shine through. I can't stop smiling when I look at them because they are so real. I knew from the time we met you so long ago that you were perfect for us and I never had a moment's doubt or concern about that aspect of the wedding. And yet, even though I knew they would be fabulous, I didn't understand exactly how important that would be until after the wedding. Looking at your photos, it is like reliving it over again. We had lots of people commenting on how great you were, how you were everywhere and catching everything worth taking pictures of. You were another guest with a really great camera, more than a professional photographer, and that made a huge difference.
You were without a doubt worth every penny, and more.
I only hope that other brides feel half this happy with their pictures.
Thank you so, so much."

-Tahlia and Robert , August 2005

"You were so wonderful on the wedding day, I couldn't have asked for a better photographer! The pictures themselves are perfect, actually better than that. The reason I hired you was because your photos, above all other photographers I looked at (and trust me that was a lot), seemed to capture the heart and life of the people in the pictures. It's like this unmistakable quality to your photos that other photographers don't have.  I know that this is because you're good, but I think it's also because you come across in the photos you take, and you're simply wonderful. They are my most treasured processions, but I think people are getting tired of looking at them! Lol  Anyways, thank you a million, they mean the world to me."

-Katie and James, June 2008

"You helped make our day absolutely perfect!!  Your energy, spirit and the obvious love you have for what you do, made our day so special! (I don't think I've had that much fun in the rain!)
Thank you for sharing your day with us!"

-Tara and Mike, Sept. 2006

"We wanted creative, photojournalistic-style shots and a fun, fresh photographer. Cathy Chatterton provided that and more. Everything you read about her is true - she is incredibly friendly, always with a smile on her face and she clearly loves what she does and inspired us to have fun while we were having our photos taken. If you haven't chosen a photographer, definitely call Cathy."- Excerpt from Frugalbride.com review

-Claire and Patrick, Sept. 2006

"There are not enough words to describe how amazing Cathy was on our wedding day. She is the one vendor that everyone raved about it. I can’t tell you the number of times guests came up to tell Gary and I how amazing our photographer was. They were so impressed with how many pictures she was taking but also how unobtrusive she was. I was impressed as always, with her warm personality. She has already sent me a teaser of pictures that I have posted and I can tell she completely captured the mood of the day. You will not be disappointed with Cathy—in fact, she will probably exceed all of your expectations!! Without a doubt, she is the best decision we made in regards to the wedding! Cathy, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!" - Excerpt from Frugalbride.com review

-Wendy and Gary, November 2003

"I just wanted to thank you once again for the great job you did at our wedding. I truly feel as if you really did "Capture" every moment of our day to the fullest. It is still exciting to flip the pages of the album you put together and not only am I amazed at the pure number of photos I now have available on CD but also with the quality they were taken with. I love every picture and after viewing the album thought I had seen it all but after seeing the CD's (and it took days to view them all!) I realized you had captured so much more. Thanks so much for your great job. Not only were you so pleasant to deal with but you have also given me the greatest gift I could receive- my wedding day memories for life. Your style is all that I could ask for and I just wanted to let you know, you have made me very happy- I just want to show the world my wedding pictures."

-Janet And Kris, June 2004

"The pictures are so great I cried.
I mean I have seen a LOT of pictures from family and friends, and have seen a lot of good ones....or so I thought they were good until I saw yours! Ian really didn't want to spend the money on a photographer and it was quite the issue....well, once he looked at the pictures he turned to me and said "Totally worth every penny"
They are AMAZING."

-Wendy and Ian, February 2007

"We can't thank you enough for the incredible job you did on our wedding day. It is hard to know where to begin! Your photographs are absolutely amazing. You captured not only the big moments, but all the little details that otherwise would fade into obscurity at the end of the day. It is unbelievable how many perfect photos one woman can take in the span of six hours, and all with an air of calmness. More, importantly, though, you were really fun to work with. Our smiles were genuine from start to finish, due in no small part to your relaxed, easy-going nature. We noticed, and many of our guests commented on how friendly and patient you were with them. You are a truly talented professional, and we are so happy that you could capture our day for us."

-Jane and Marek, August 2006

"It was worth braving the bridal show for the chance of meeting this wonderful woman. She is so sweet, so kind, so relaxed, so organized, and so stinkin' talented, that it's hard to believe. We did our pictures before the ceremony, and were glad. Being around Cathy made us considerably calmer. We had so much fun with the photos. And then throughout the night, she was just everywhere- not obtrusive at all, just capturing all the great moments of the event. With a big smile on her face. If you have not booked a photographer yet, please please consider this woman. It felt like we had another friend there at the wedding." - Excerpt from Frugalbride.com review

-Erin and Phil, November 2003

"Thank you for making our son, Kevin's and Bryony's wedding day so memorable. The photographs taken that day are fabulous. We have viewed all five disks. It will be tough making a decision. The guests at the wedding have all complimented you both. Thank you for the wonderful memories."

-Betty and Aubrey, parents of the groom, May 2004

"Cathy, Thank you so, so much for being our wedding photographer! You take such beautiful photos - we LOVE them and we have had many compliments on them. You are so great to have around - we were concerned that having our photos taken would be uncomfortable and boring - but you blew us away with how friendly and encouraging you are! Thank you for sharing our day with us!"

-Tiffany and Paul, July 2007

"Stuart and I wand to thank you so much for being such an important, critical part of our day. You and Catherine did an absolutely fabulous job of capturing the most important and candid pictures of our day. I have looked at them a million times and absolutely LOVE them. Stuart and I are going to have a difficult time making our choices because our pictures are ALL beautiful. Stuart looks so handsome and you helped me feel like a princess. Thank you for all of your hard work, patience, and helping me smile!

-Christine and Stuart, May 2004

"Just wanted to let you know that the photographs are absolutely GORGEOUS. Takes a lot of magic to make me look that pretty:-) Everyone who has seen the photos has commented on how well done they are - just wanted to pass on the compliments."

-Maureen and Kyle, September 2003

"Both Ross and I want to thank you for being part of our wedding day. Your positive energy and enthusiasm captured our attention when we first met you! Thanks again!

-Jen and Ross, October 2003

"Hi, Cathy. My name is Al. Hope you remember me. You recently shot my wedding on Sept 5, 2004. If I haven't already done so, I would like to express my thanks for the amazing work you did for us! I must say, everyone who saw the proofs were impressed by your photos. And nice pick on the web pics as well! Sarah has been giving out your info to friends & patients (she's a physiotherapist) she knows of who are getting married. I've also referred you to some people as well. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is saying how amazing you are. Not just in print, but as a professional as well. You were warm, friendly, funny, and unobtrusive when you were taking your shots. Haha, it makes me tell them, "Yup, that's MY photographer." Anyway, with all the raving reviews from family and friends, I was curious to see if you were published, so I plugged you into google, and lo and behold, there was quite a bit of info on you. Checked out www.cchatterton.com . Wow, impressive. And, the book, The Grannies, funny thing - I've seen that book before!"

-Al and Sarah, September 2004

"We both wanted to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. You made not only us, but all of our guests feel comfortable around the camera. Thanks for all your patience during the past months, we have nothing but good things to say about you & Jeff."

-Holly and Ryan, June 2003

"We're back from our honeymoon, and during our endless musings about how wonderful our wedding day was, your name kept coming up. We haven't even seen the pictures, but your presence was so calming, so unobtrusive, and yet so much fun. We are so glad we met you and that you were part of our special day.

-Ang and Lee, December 2004

"DUDE - Just got the pics - YOU ROCK! "

-Michael and Jennifer, February 2005

"We are actually printing them [the photos] out ourselves with this great printer we bought. Photos are amazing and we're having a ton of fun! It's the Epson R800 printer if you know it. It's not surprising, given we have made everything from invites, to thank-you notes and CD's and now we are becoming photo developers! The pictures you took are great - we love them and are having a really fun time going through them again and making the albums. Thanks (and I tell everyone about you...)"

-Sylvia and Frank, June 2004

"We've looked through all the pics (both the prints and the discs) and we don't know how we're going to choose. I bet you hear that all the time. But seriously, there are so many great shots. Thanks a bunch for all your hard work. We heard many great things about your from all of our guests.

-Heather and Jeff, Oct. 2004

"I just wanted to say thank you so much!! I thought the album was absolutely beautiful!! I'm just so happy with it!! I think it's such a great collection of pictures and really shows all aspects of the day!! It was wonderful working with both you and Jeff and thank you for being so patient with us!"

-Treena and Dave, June 2003

"We can't thank you enough for agreeing to photograph our wedding, and for your outstanding professionalism and energy throughout the process. We were so impressed by your subtle and thoughtful presence during the wedding, and were blown away by the unique and candid shots you were able to capture. Thank you, Cathy! This card does not even begin to express our sincere gratitude."

-Erin and Will, August 2007

"Cathy, Dennis and I are so glad that we chose you to be our photographer. Everyone was so impressed with all of your shots. You have an amazing eye when it comes to candid photos. You were able to capture all of the special moments throughout the day. Thank-you so much!! We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends who will be getting married in the future."

-Andrea and Dennis, October 2005

"I just finished looking at Emersyn's pics, and they are absolutely stunning, I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect to capture the memories of our first daughter. You have now done our engagement shots, our wedding, and our newest addition, and each time you truly amaze me with your work.  I truly hope you continue doing photography, because I can honestly say that I don't think I could ever trust capturing our memories to anyone else.  You have a true gift in what you do.  You capture the little things that usually go unseen, but because of you they become another memory. Thank you again, you have made me one very happy (and teary eyed) mommy!!!!"

-Fiona, Pat and Emersyn, May 2007

"Dear Cathy, Thank you for adding to the joyful spirit of our wedding day with such professional photography. Your kindness and fun attitude really contributed to a stress-free day! We absolutely love the photographs and even though we've looked through them almost a hundred times it always seems to amaze us when we find a spectacular shot that we swear we didn't see the first few times. You were able to capture so many great moments and for this we are truly thankful."

- Lyn and Layi, August 2007

 

 hank you again, you have made me one very happy (and teary eyed) mommy!!!
