russell & raw photography

Cate was our wedding photographer and she truly went above and beyond to capture so many amazing moments from our special day. We loved her candid approach to photography and she participated in the wedding so seamlessly, guests thought she was a friend of ours. She was wonderful with my daughter and patient with my questions and requests. The photobooth she provided for our wedding was also a huge hit. I can't say enough about Cate and her work as a photographer. I'd hire her again in a second!

This is an edited review- Cate sent me additional photos after my original review, and we are really happy with them. Communication with Cate could have been a lot better and more professional, but overall we are happy with our photos. As she said below, she has posted a ton of photos from our wedding for everyone to see and judge for themselves. Some photos I hadn't even seen myself.

I met Cate through a friend. Being a musician, I’ve worked with many photographers. Cat is definitely amongst my TOP experiences. Incredibly creative and talented, and knows her craft like the back of her hand. There’s a security in working with her that the photos will be nothing less than jaw droppingingly beautiful. I absolutely recommend her.

I have worked with russell and raw for years, first as a model, then as a customer. Not only is Cate truly an artist and exquisite photographer, she is so great to work with. She is professional and focused on the details but also very easy going, open to suggestions and ideas and works with the client to achieve your goal and create something beautiful. She made me feel comfortable and confident. Her raw talent + her passion = beautiful photography. This company comes with a high recommendation based on my personal experience.

Cate is amazing! She shot our wedding in September, and she captured everything beautifully. She was absolutely wonderful to work with (answering my 1000 emails), and made both my husband and I so comfortable in front of the camera. She captured the most candid shots, and just integrated seamlessly into our special day. Plus, she was able to capture our goofy puppy so perfectly. Thanks Cate!!

I have worked with Cate on several occasions, and have always had and amazing experience! She is professional, creative, and always willing to go the extra mile for her clients! I recommended her to a close friend whom also has had amazing customer service. Her photos came out stunning and on time as well!

Cate is one of the most professional, creative and talented photographer I have had the pleasure of working with! She is always flowing with ideas and willing to go the extra mile to get that perfect shot. I highly recommend this incredible woman to help you capture your memories and special moments!!

Cate was awesome for my engagement photoshoot. She made us feel very comfortable, she was very flexible and creative! The quality and authenticity of the pictures are amazing! We would definitely use her services again!

1 star is too generous. Definitely regret trusting her with our big day, empty promises, very petty and FULL of excuses. 7 months later we still didn't get the full number of pictures paid for( (800) got 400 )crappy ones with very unprofessional editing were received after months of darama, and the quality we were promised was never delievered. In addition we got many unprofessional answers from her, her assistant/ boyfriend and friend videographer whilst trying to come to an amicable agreements. All in all very unprofessional. Also beware of fake reviews (not real bride) and staged photoshoots that were not shot the day of the wedding but on two different days!STILL WAITING FOR OUR PICTURES (Shot by her and her ASSISTANT/boyfriend as promised before the wedding so she would get her whole payment the day of the wedding, also a mistake. Always keep her waiting for her money. She travels for months once she is paid in full) AND THIS WOULD BE SOLVED IF SHE IS A TINY BIT PROFESSIONAL AND WOULD STOP BEING PETTY AND SEND US OUR PAID IN FULL PICTURES.
