Hi! I'm Cate!
Capturing Your Favourite Moments Unscripted
I am a Bristol lifestyle photographer, my style is candid, romantic and strictly unscripted. I'm a lover of light and immortaliser of fleeting moments. I have over a decade of experience capturing families, couples, weddings and I'm available wherever my feet can take me.
LET GET CLOSER
A Story Through Another Lens
I’m a Bristol-based photographer and mother of two, born and raised in South Africa. I moved here with my husband and children, bringing with me a lifelong love of images born in a house full of photographers.
As a child I’d watch my grandfather in the darkroom for hours, and somewhere between the trays and the hush I fell in love with stolen moments forever immortalised in a photograph.
I’m a hopeless romantic at heart, always seeking love and light, and having walked through loss I know how precious photographs become. That’s why I’m obsessed with the in-between moments—the hand squeeze, the shy grin, the quiet exhale.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m a happy homebody either curled up with a book and my cat, writing poetry, or challenging my children to a game of hide and seek (I haven't lost yet).
Best Values You can Get
Clear Communication
From the first message to your final gallery, you’ll always know what’s happening and when. I’ll chat through your ideas, answer every question, and keep you in the loop so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
Technical Expertise
Behind the easy, laid-back vibe is a whole lot of know-how. From lighting and camera settings to gentle posing and direction, I handle the technical side so your photos feel effortless, natural and beautifully polished.
Post-Production Excellence
The magic doesn’t stop when the camera goes away. Every image is carefully edited in my signature style—true-to-life colours, flattering tones, and a timeless finish—so your gallery looks cohesive, emotive and completely “you.”
WHY WORKING WITH ME IS DIFFERENT?
Why I Love What I Do
I do this for the quiet, in-between moments: the squeeze of a hand before a vow, the giggle that escapes between poses, the way sunlight lands on a cheek. Those slivers of love and light become heirlooms, and after my own experience with loss, I know just how precious they are. Every click is a promise to your future selves — a way to remember how it felt.
I’m endlessly inspired by family sessions, couple sessions, and intimate elopements. Families are all play and tenderness — muddy knees, freckles, newborn yawns, and big belly laughs. Couples sessions feel like a favourite date captured in real time, whether we’re wandering city streets or chasing a sunset. Elopements and weddings are my heart: simple, soulful celebrations where the focus is on you and your story. I’ll gently guide when needed, keep things natural, and find the beautiful light. Based in Bristol and happy to travel, I can’t wait to tell your story.
