Talented, Friendly, & Professional

Cat is amazing, and you should have 0 reservations about hiring her for your photography needs! She took photos for both my engagement and a very small (9 people) wedding at Smith Rock.
The number one compliment we received from others when we announced our marriage was how absolutely gorgeous our photos were.

Cat goes the extra mile. She made us feel as comfortable in front of a camera as we will ever get, gave us posing prompts to get pictures that were candid and beautiful, helped us choose what to wear when we brought multiple options, and styled us (hair fixing, hat adjustments, etc) to make sure everything was always in place. She was quick with sneak peeks of photos, timely with delivering albums, and didn't miss a shot that we asked for!

Cat knows how to work a crowd (I've seen her in action at large weddings), and how to deliver on a personal and intimate level. She has an eye for detail in the small moments, gestures, and items that hold meaning, and captures them all. Her pictures are classic, dramatic, and artsy. We have pictures that make us look cozy and sweet, ones that make us look like we belong in a magazine, photos shot with prisms that look awesome, and has artistically edited some in ways that I cannot describe--you'll just have to check out her website to see. She has given us timeless photos that we will cherish for a lifetime.

I will be a repeat customer for as long as I can get her!

Cat deserves more than 5 stars!!!

How much time do I have?! Cat was AMAZING the whole week of my wedding - she was able to capture my rehearsal dinner AND all of my wedding day festivities... all by herself! I was amazed at the number of photos taken! The angles, the people, the energy... she was simply one of the most seamless and best parts of the day, capturing moments I didn't notice or realize, tossing encouragement and love my way, and just all around adding that extra sparkle! My photos turned out like a freakin' dream. HIRE HER!!! (ANNNND she also does boudoir.... RECOMMEND!!!!)

I truly can't say enough good things about Cat Dossett. She has been my go-to photographer; she has taken my senior pictures, my sister's senior pictures, my boudoir pictures, and my wedding pictures- and dare I say my maternity pictures in the future?! ;) Her professionalism is incredible, but she still makes you feel so comfortable as if you've been forever friends. She makes sure to get those standard portraits that your family always asks for, but she also creates stunning works of art that you'll want to hang on your walls forever. If you've ever had the chance to hear her gush about "how cool the light is in this spot" or "that is such a killer shot!!" then you've seen her passion for photography at it's finest. She loves what she does, and that shines through in her stellar photographs and her enthusiasm for her craft. If you're looking for an incredibly talented photographer to capture the love, the beauty, and the emotion of your special day, Cat Dossett is the photographer for you!

Cat is amazing! Her photos of our sweet little backyard wedding are so perfect. She was super communicative and responsive to all of my millions of questions during the whole lead up to our wedding. She checked in with me consistently throughout the whole day, making sure she was getting the photographs that I wanted. She legit stopped to talk to all of my guests, making them all comfortable before photographing them. She was 110% on board for my 'photos with my cat' idea, photos that I TREASURE. And she checked in with me before leaving to double check that I got everything I wanted, even though she was already over her time and absolutely did not have to! All on the hottest day of the year! Hire this girl!

Comfortable, Fun, & Beautiful!

I found Cat through Instagram and she shot my small wedding ceremony in Oregon with about 28 people. I cannot say enough good things about her!! She is so kind and sweet and also made us feel calm and at ease during our big day. She gave us amazing direction and the pictures turned out beautifully. She knew how important capturing the day was to us and made sure we got photos everywhere we went throughout the whole day and night. We are absolutely THRILLED with how the pictures have turned out (I think obsessed is even an understatement) and I would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone!! Everyone who sees our pictures tells us how amazing they look and asks how we found her. Thank you so much Cat!!

We love Cat!

She was was so wonderful and took the best photos of our day. She is so kind, funny, personable, and easy to be comfortable with.

Cat is one of a kind. She went above and beyond for us making our day so special and capturing all the moments that I will cherish forever. I have recommend her to all my friends and family. She was so great with my large demanding family on both sides and is really the sweetest soul! We love her!

I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to how amazing my experience shooting with Cat has been. As soon as you meet her, you just know you’re going to become friends. Through an unfortunate series of events, my husband and I found ourselves without photos from our wedding. We were able to get gussied up with Cat years later and I can honestly say they were TOTALLY worth the wait. I’ll look back at these photos as the day I feel in love with my husband all over again. Cat’s attention to detail, her talent, and her perfect blend of professional and personal make her an absolute dream to work with. She is going to be a staple piece of all our important events to come.

Cat is incredibly talented and genuine. She not only makes you feel comfortable while taking your picture, but she also makes you feel the absolute most beautiful you'll ever feel. She's so supportive and encouraging, any stress you may be feeling approaching the big day seems to disappear. She was so present for us and went above and beyond on our big day that she actually helped me with decor. There are no words to describe the impeccable, professional and beautiful work she is capable of. You will be disappointed NOT hiring her. She is quite literally the best. If you want someone down to earth with a moody, romantic eye... Book her immediately!

Let me just start by saying Cat is by far the best photographer I have ever worked with. She loves what she does and it shows in every picture she takes.
My husband and I had Cat take our engagement, wedding and post wedding (cave) pictures. Before every shoot, Cat was quick to respond to messages, extremely flexible and willing to hear our creative ideas. Cat has this ability to make you feel like a super model while she is taking your picture. I am sure she can make anyone feel calm and comfortable in front of her camera. After every shoot, Cat had sneak peeks for us within 24 hours.
Also, during my wedding, I had forgotten several items and was a bit panicky. Every time this happened, Cat reached into her magical wedding bag and pulled out just what was needed. For me, she was more than a photographer, she prevented many mishaps from occurring.
You will LOVE working with Cat! She went above and beyond every time we worked with her. Next time we are in need of someone to capture our big moments, we will definitely be calling Cat.

Best wedding decision we made!

Cat was the best decision we made, when it came to choosing our wedding vendors. She was so easy to work with and I trusted her. I knew the pictures were going to wow us - but they surpassed that! Our photos genuinely represent US, not a posed/styled version of us. We couldn't be happier. She is well organized, and has the best game plan. I didn't have to worry about making sure she got certain photos, because she presented me with the most incredible plan from the start. She was easy to communicate with and very flexible. I also love the creative drive that Cat brings to her craft. There were some very cool reflection effects that she used that made our pictures unique. I can't gush enough about how happy we are with our photos, and our experience with Cat. She also coordinated a second shooter (for an additional expense) and we were very happy with who she chose. Her second shooter complimented her well, and they made a great time. I would recommend her time and time again, and I can't wait to hire her to capture more beautiful moments for us.

Cat photographed my husband and I six months into dating, she hid behind a tree to capture our proposal, she trudged through thigh deep snow to capture our engagement photos, and she was amazing throughout our entire wedding day. She was there early in the morning to go to the salon with me and stayed late into the night. Everyone has told us how amazing our photos are and Cat really did capture the entire day. She was so quick to get us our photos back and I gushed over how beautiful she made us, our families, and our wedding look. She is professional, sweet, and generous. She has an amazing eye for natural light. I recommend her to everyone I know and will continue to have her photograph our future.

Best photographer we could have asked for!

Hiring Cat Dossett is one thing my husband and I do not regret from our wedding day at all. Well worth it. She was my dream photographer (I mean just look at her work!) and when I emailed her I told her our budget and she worked with me to get the perfect package!
Not only is she a phenomenal artist, with an incredible eye for what will make a beautiful photograph, but she is also a warm and comforting presence. Which was very needed on my wedding day when I was feeling nervous! She made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera which is so far out of our comfort zone usually... She also was willing to help us in little ways that really mattered-- making sure we had drinks and water and breaks when we needed it. She worked incredibly well with our other vendors and we even adjusted the photo schedule slightly day-of and she rolled with it!
Hiring Cat is like hiring a good friend (and you get beautiful photos to boot)!

Cat photographed my wedding and engagement photos, and I can not sing her praises loudly enough.

She is so talented and passionate, and she treated us like we were her long time friends…Finding Cat was a true blessing- she became our biggest cheerleader, a helpful extra planner (she seriously' brought an entire living room set up and personalized decor to our engagement shoot!) and friend. Reliable and detail oriented- I could go on and on. But what really shines through is her passion for photography, weddings, and capturing other’s love stories (her own love story is pretty adorable, too.)

Book with Cat! You’ll be lucky to have her!
