Cate Barry Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (41 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,900
  • Serves Derby, CT

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

“Cate was an absolute dream to work with! She captured both our elopement wedding (10 guests at a beachside Airbnb in East Haven in early September) and a 1-hour couples’ photoshoot (early morning at the Yale campus in mid-October 2024). We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Her incredible skill, warm demeanor, and attention to detail truly set her apart. We spoke with many prospective photographers before deciding, but we just couldn’t look away from working with Cate after going through her brilliant portfolio and speaking with her on Zoom. Cate made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has an amazing ability to put you at ease, making the entire process natural and fun. The photos she took are some of our absolute favorites. We love how she captured our families, wedding ceremony, and couple photos with so much emotion and authenticity! One of the standout things about Cate is how prolific she is. She took and shared a delightfully ridiculous number of photos with us—over 2–3 photos per minute! Every single shot was excellently curated and edited, showcasing her skills as both a photographer and storyteller. Cate went above and beyond, even while balancing personal challenges during her busiest season, to deliver a stunning gallery that exceeded all our expectations. She was also kind and thoughtful in all her communications with us and incredibly generous while photographing us for several minutes after our scheduled time had ended. We wholeheartedly recommend Cate to anyone looking for a wedding or portrait photographer! She is immensely talented, professional, and a joy to work with. We not only found our go-to photographer for all our future needs, but also a kind friend through this process. Thank you, Cate, for capturing the most precious moments of our lives so beautifully—we are so grateful for your skill and compassion!”

I’ll record your first day of marriage beautifully with natural prompts and give you timeless wedding photos that will bring you joy for a lifetime.

“Rob Skinner Photography was an ideal choice for our elopement at city hall. From the very beginning, Rob’s communication was prompt, clear, and reassuring, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. On the day itself, he arrived early and guided us in capturing natural, genuine moments. He helped us pose and move in ways that felt relaxed and authentic. The final photos are stunning, with a level of detail my husband and I truly value. Beyond the reasonable pricing for a one-hour elopement, what stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire experience. In just one hour, he captured over 1,000 photos, ensuring no special moment was missed. We’re so happy we chose Rob Skinner Photography and would highly recommend him to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

“Can not express how much I love the photos from my wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC! Every single image captured the magic, beauty, and emotion of the day in a way that took my breath away. From the moment we booked her, our photographer was an absolute dream to work with so kind, incredibly flexible, and beyond professional. She took the time to understand the importance and sacredness of the venue, navigating everything with such respect and grace. With the hustle and bustle of New York City and a tight timeline, she handled everything seamlessly. She arrived early, stayed on schedule, and somehow made us feel totally at ease the entire time. She gently guided us through poses without ever making anything feel staged or unnatural, and she captured the in-between moments so beautifully. Her ability to adapt to last-minute changes and still deliver the most breathtaking images is truly a gift. She was patient, warm, and genuinely excited for us, which meant the world.

Not only were they extremely kind and patient, but they had great upbeat energy that made the whole process of hundreds of photos seem like a breeze. They captured every moment perfectly and made sure to accommodate all of our needs. Now the quality? Trevauhn knocked it out of the park. The photos speak for themselves. He caught several angles of each moment and found the best opportunities to fit our pictures seamlessly into the venue and really use it to our advantage. Not only that but everything looked clean and crisp with the ideal vision that we were trying to maintain. He didn't have to do a million crazy edits with lighting either because he and his team were adjusting in the moment for lighting. This team knows what they're doing and they're incredible at it.

When looking back at photographs from my life, it’s the candid images—captured by and with close friends and family—that bring memories and emotions flooding back. The ones that truly stick. That’s how I want your wedding photos to feel for the rest of your life—like a warm, familiar hug. I’ve always believed the most significant moments a wedding photographer can capture are those untouched by their own influence. My intent is to observe and document your day as it unfolds—creating authentic images that stand alone as works of art and, together, tell a story that truly reflects your relationship, your family, and your closest friends.

“From the first meeting with Tyler, we knew that we were beginning not only a working relationship, but also a friendship with one of the kindest and coolest. When my husband and I spoke about booking a wedding photographer, our priorities were someone who made us feel comfortable, someone who shot with film, someone who didn’t force us into specific poses, and someone who captured the day’s moments naturally. We didn’t want to spend our wedding day posing for pictures. Tyler did all of that for us and more. He was there to capture everything from the first bite of breakfast to the final dance. So many of our family and friends have spoken to his kindness towards them throughout our wedding day. There’s so much good we could say about Tyler. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. At the end of it, the magnificent album we received seemed like a small perk to the friend we made.”

As soon as we saw the gorgeous photos from our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. When our wedding day finally came, Kelsey and her second shooter, Zach, were so fun to be around and made everyone in our wedding party and families feel happy and included. Every moment felt celebratory and fun, but they also made sure we stuck to our schedule and got all our key photos done! We are so so happy with how the photos came out.

I’m a husband, a dad, and a photographer. I love spending time with my family and cannot get enough of my kids. If I could dance and be silly with them all day long, that’s what I’d do. It could be the Frozen soundtrack or 90’s hip-hop, either will work. I’m easily lost listening to music (I use to be a battle DJ). Exploring and be adventurous are good things. I’m always thinking of the next destination and where we can go. It doesn’t have to be a big trip. It could be down a country road, driving by the horse farm, around the corner from my house. I’m a dreamer.

“I'll start by saying I am SO thankful my sister in law found and hired Tim as the photographer for her wedding a few years back because since then, he's become our 'family photographer'. The second my now husband and I met Tim at their wedding, we knew without a doubt we wanted him as our photographer when we got married.. and we are so incredibly happy we did! Tim' is not only an amazing photographer who can camera-awkward couples (us) look like their shooting for a magazine, but he is all around such a genuine, awesome person who makes you feel like you're hanging out with a friend. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Tim captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. And we can't wait till the next person in our family gets married so we can see him again :)”

Growing up near cameras, flashes and lenses, my father was a photographer for a newspaper, and I loved developing photos with him in his darkroom. For the last few years, I have launched CC Garvie Photography and could not be happier--I love it ! Every new project is another exciting adventure, as I continue to develop my vision. I love capturing those precious moments, so we can look back one day and say, "wow look at that, remember when we took that photo?" That is photography to me, "preservation". And once you look back at those memories--the warm and fuzzy feelings we get in our hearts--it is priceless. Let me do that for you.

“My husband and I hired Cece for our September wedding and we could not have been happier with her services and her talent! Our photos came out beautiful! She was very communicative with us, professional, and so easy to work with. Honestly, if we ever need professional pictures down the road it will be with Cece.”

We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration. Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard. We love the grand and cinematic, with attention to lighting. We'll help pose you, and guide you when it's right and let you be in the moment.

“I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!”
