Hello, I'm Catherine!

A film photographer capturing
weddings, engagements and families
in New England and beyond. 

I’m so glad you’re here, and I hope you’ll stick around and enjoy these blog posts! I blog all kinds of love stories, from engagements and weddings to new moms, babies and family sessions. I focus primarily on my film photography, candid and authentic moments, and intentional styling and unique details. 

MEET CATHERINE

I’m finally blogging Tom and Jasmine’s incredible Willowdale Estate wedding from Oct. 26, 2018! This wedding got a lot of love and was featured on Magnolia Rouge AND Boston Weddings!

I loved what Boston Weddings wrote about the wedding:

Jasmine FitzGerald and Thomas Tierney met as students at Providence College and quickly became good friends—but nothing more. So, when their relationship later turned romantic, “It was kind of surprising,” Jasmine says. “He asked me over for dinner and that’s kind of when our love story started. We knew we had a good bond and connection, but we didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. And then it did.” After they graduated in 2012, the couple eventually moved in together in Jamaica Plain.

On a chilly day in November 2017, Jasmine and Thomas planned to meet their parents for an early dinner at Strega restaurant in the Seaport after a hurling match at Fenway Park. At that point, Jasmine says she’d had “no idea that [Thomas] had brought the ring into Fenway.” They hopped in an Uber to go to the restaurant after the match, but instead of letting them out at Strega, the driver dropped them off on the Harborwalk. Thomas suggested they walk to the restaurant from there, and with a photographer trailing behind them, they began to stroll along the waterfront. Then, suddenly, Thomas got down on one knee. “My jaw just dropped,” Jasmine says. “I couldn’t believe he’d surprised me.”

You can find their proposal, which I photographed, here!
