About Cat MacDonald Photography

Cat MacDonald

Owner

I’m Cat, a wedding and family photographer based in Northwest Indiana, serving couples across Southwest Michigan and Chicago. With 15+ years of experience and a BFA in Photography, I create timeless, heartfelt images that blend elegant portraiture with candid storytelling. My couples describe me as both their photographer and their calm guide, capturing every moment while keeping the day stress-free. I take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure each love story receives my full attention.

What sets me apart is the experience I create for my couples. From our first conversation to the final gallery, I guide you with clarity, warmth, and intention so your photography feels effortless and your images reflect the joy of your day.

    I'm almost at a loss for words to describe how phenomenal our experience with Cat was. Our wedding day really would not have been the same without her and her team. I happened upon Cat when our DJ tagged her in an Instagram post and I immediately fell in love with her work. Her photos are so perfectly vibrant and full of life, and I knew she'd capture our special day perfectly. Her communication was always fast, kind, and informative. All of my questions were quickly answered and she was a -huge- help in getting our Day-Of timeline nailed down. I was also SO thankful for her during our engagement shoot. My poor fiance (now husband) was on call that day, and we ended up having to cut the shoot short as a result. Cat was able to get some of our new favorite pictures of us anyway, and she was so easy to work with. I want to give her, Bethany, and Jo a very special thank you for everything they did on our wedding day. As a plus size bride I was very anxious about being photographed at all, but they made me feel like a fairy princess and I'm SO in love with our pictures. They are stunning photos and we definitely shed a few happy tears over them, but aside from that, it was really just special to have these amazing humans at our wedding. Their positivity and laughter was infectious, and we received a ton of compliments on how wonderful they all were. One million out of ten, highly recommend 3

    Catherine went out of her way to ensure the memories from our day were made for us. She was so witty, thoughtful, and kind through the entire process. Her professionalism and style well exceeded our expectations. Catherine, thank you for being a part of our special day!

    Cat is the best photographer! I’ve used her for all my daughter’s photos since she was a baby, my engagement photo’s and wedding photographer. She’s super fun and makes her photo shoots a pleasant experience. Her work is displayed all over my house and I get so many compliments on the amazing photos she takes.
