Cate Barry Photography

Cate Barry Photography is a wedding photography company based in Hamden, Connecticut, serving the New Haven area. Cate Barry specializes in capturing candid moments, genuine emotion, and the connections between people. The photographer focuses on making clients feel empowered and seen, with particular attention to creating a safe and affirming space for couples of all identities, including LGBTQ+ couples, people of color, and individuals across the spectrum of body types, abilities, and backgrounds. As a queer photographer whose partner is a trans man, Cate Barry brings personal understanding to the importance of accurate and respectful representation. The photographer's approach centers on documenting life as it is actually lived, with all its beauty and complexity. Rather than focusing on social media appeal, the emphasis is on creating images that evoke deep emotional responses and help clients see how loved and valued they are. All full wedding collections include high-resolution edited digital images and an engagement session. Collections start at $4,900 and can be customized to fit specific needs. Cate Barry Photography has received multiple WeddingWire Couples' Choice Awards and Best of Weddings honors from The Knot, reflecting consistent recognition from past clients.
