about cate ronan weddings
SONDER
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story.
DESTINATION AND DOMESTIC
WEDDINGS
My approach to a wedding day is where candids meet traditional portraits. Where full-of-life color meets emotive black and white photographs. I take on a select and limited amount of weddings per year for the best experience. Based centrally serving destination weddings around the world. Collections include hourly coverage, an engagement session, additional photographers, dinner rehearsal coverage, day after festivities, and more. My 8 hour collection starts at $5,200.
LET's JUST GET AWAY
ELOPEMENTS
Elopements are weddings too. Days filled with getting ready, traveling, saying vows, portraits, exploring, food, drinks, and celebrations; with just you two or your closest chosen family. These days are ran smoothly by experienced vendors. My elopement photo collections start at $6k including coverage, multi-day events, travel expenses, & planning if needed.
engagement & couples
Portraits
Dating, engaged, or married, couples portraits are a must showing the legacy of your love story. Whether at a local park or across the country on trip, setting aside a hour or two to love, laugh, and play will never go to waste. Couples sessions begin at $650. Destination couple sessions begin at $2k.

KIND WORDS
“MY PARTNER AND I DECIDED TO CHANGE OUR WEDDING DATE TO BOOK HER.”
Sarah and Kyle hired me for both their private elopement and wedding day. We planned a full day elopement in the mountains of Colorado and one month later an epic celebration with their family and friends in Ohio.

"She truly played such a big part in making our wedding day a fairy tale ”
Jess + Nathan had an enchanting ceremony in the woods and later had an evening reception with their loved ones. Nathan's family came all the way from Europe.
