Hi Love Birds! I’m Cat, your local NH Cinematographer.
I fell in love with the process of visual storytelling when I was 17. As a kid, I was fascinated by the complexity of “behind the scenes” on sets, and how movies and TV were created. I decided to get my Bachelor of Arts in Film Production with a Minor in Studio Arts at Keene State College. I spent 5 years in Local TV while also serving and bartending for 17 years. I have over 15 years of Filming experience and 10 years of professional videography experience, starting in the Wedding Industry in 2021. I personally edit all your videos right here in NH.
I believe kindness matters, and listening to your story is crucial. I take pride in providing excellent service by getting to know you, centering you and your fiancé, andbeing present for you, to make every step of the process go as smoothly as possible. I recognize filmmaking as a group effort, and work well with your other vendors- from Photographers to servers. I believe that teamwork is crucial to success. When I’m not filming, I’m at the beach, or snowboarding with friends, teaching or doing yoga, editing, or volunteering at the NHSPCA. I’m so excited to get to know you, and hear your love story!
“I believe that Video is the most life-like experience you can get through one medium.”

I only book a limited number of weddings per year so I can give every couple my full creative presence. That means thoughtful communication, quicker delivery, and edits crafted with care — not rushed through a pipeline.
My approach is rooted in flexibility, empathy, and sensitivity — tuned in like a great yoga class, where suggestions invite you to explore, not perform.
My approach leans very documentary, and I aim to capture candid, authentic, real life moments throughout the day. While there will be some direction needed to tell a story, instead of posing you like a photographer might, my goal is to create moments for you and your fiancé to enjoy, during a sunset portrait session, for example.
I work with prompts such as, "Look into each other's eyes and picture the first day you met, or the first day you moved in together" (I like to ask questions to get to know you a bit more to tailor these prompts to you. Let's keep it simple and authentic!). I also draw from my certification as a yoga teacher, aiming to keep you relaxed, present in the moment, focused on each other, laughing, moving fluidly, and day dreaming about your love. The end product is a mix of quality portraits showcasing your love, and real life moments from your wedding events.
Your wedding video is something that I hope you enjoy for years to come, as I truly believe having quality video puts you right back in that memory, like re-living the day again in such a real way! I hope this helps with any feelings of being torn on whether or not to have a videographer. I would highly recommend it, since I've heard it's one of a couple’s biggest regret to not have a quality video to enjoy wat!
