About
I’m Caty-Scarlett and I am a wedding photographer serving the east coast and beyond! I’ve been shooting for 10 years and have loved every millisecond: I don’t take for granted what an honor it is to preserve your memories. It’s a hefty spiritual blessing, to be one of the only strangers invited into that space of intimacy! I hope to be that stranger turned friend and confidante. To make your day fun and effortless! I have a no posing approach, allowing you to feel relaxed and merely “in love in front of me” as I snap away.

Caty-Scarlett was amazing. She did my proposal photos. She responded instantly and has a big passion for this. That to me is the most important thing because she makes it feel like she’s been a lifelong friend who’s just as happy for you. She set up on the beach an hour before and waited for us ready to go. She let the moment happen while capturing it, and has a great knowledge for natural, fun, and loving poses/settings to catch. The pictures turned out amazing and she can edit people out of a photo and make it look 100% real. She is awesome!

Caty-Scarlett was wonderful to work with. My fiancé and I are far from models - more of the stand next to each other and smile type. She posed us, made us laugh, took some adorable candid shot between poses. The photos are gorgeous and I’m already in the works to have her take photos of my bridesmaids at my bachelorette - she’s just so great I want to use her talent at every event now!

Caty-Scarlett made my husband and I feel relaxed and we actually had FUN being in front of a camera for once!! She’s bubbly, honest, and I love her style.

Caty Scarlett brings an extra amount of joy to all of our photo shoots! Her pictures are always beautiful, but her sweet personality and words of encouragement bring bigger smiles and laughter to the whole experience. We love working with her and would highly recommend!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is not based on my event time alone (shooting, editing, traveling, etc.), but my TIME ALONE. Creating the images, editing them, sending them, posting them to social media, posting them to my website, working my calendar, and doing my taxes... It takes time! Also, take into account if you need a second shooter for your special day. How much my equipment costs to initially purchase and keep maintained. It all comes together and your photographer charges you their fee to support their livelihood as they immortalize your memories.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We make contact, schedule a coffee date (in-person or virtual!), we talk shop (after hearing all the fun details of your love story), and then I write up our contract and we’re set once the dotted lines are signed!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to the University of Mary Washington and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Communication and Digital Studies. As far as my particular career, I learned 60% through the School of Hard Knocks, and 30% from my college education.
