Capture the moment and treasure it forever. By Catherine Brooks in Bedfordshire
At Catherine Brooks Photography, I have the honour of preserving the unforgettable moments of your special day, ensuring that they are etched in time with every click of my camera. From the very beginning, I take the time to understand your vision and listen to your desires, providing a personalized experience that reflects your unique love story.
I’m a passionate and experienced photographer, with a keen eye to capture every precious detail and emotion. Whether it’s the laughter, tears, or joy that fills the air, I am there to document it all. From the pre-wedding photoshoot to the ceremony and the memorable reception, I ensure that no moment goes unnoticed. From the group photos to the intimate exchanges, speeches, and the candid instances of pure bliss, I strive to capture the essence of your magical day. I embrace the unexpected and cherish the quirks that make your wedding truly special, from goats running away to heartfelt toasts and spontaneous moments of hilarity.
With my warm and calming presence, you can feel at ease, knowing that every aspect of your day will be thoughtfully captured. Trust me to preserve your unforgettable moments, allowing you to relive the love and joy of your wedding day for years to come.
For me the real magic of photography happens years later when you look back on those images and you’re taken back to that moment in time.
The beautiful images evoke that warm nostalgic feeling and leaves you with a smile on your face.
I want my clients to feel the love, fun and joy of that moment time and time again.
The images you receive are the end result of a journey that starts with the first enquiry and ends with you having a beautiful record of your happiest day that you can treasure forever.
The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart

So lucky to live in wonderful in Bedfordshire
After living and working in and around London for many years, I moved to Bedfordshire about 12years ago. I think I was looking for a quieter and more rural place to live with my family.
It’s safe to say that I was and am still surprised at how beautiful Bedfordshire is from the rolling Chiltern hills to the river Ouse.
Dunstable Downs is an area of outstanding national beauty and I’ve spent many an afternoon walking my beloved Cockapoo Huxley there, watching the gliders taking off and coming into land. No walk around Dunstable Downs is complete without stopping off at the National Trust centre for a coffee and cake.
One of the best kept secrets of Dunstable Downs is the tree cathedral which is perfect for a wander round or even a great place to have an engagement or family photoshoot.
A couple of summers back I decided that the perfect activity for me and my husband would be kayaking down the river Ouse. I’m sure that I was hoping to recreate a magical afternoon we’d spent kayaking around the harbour at Dubrovnik.
After booking in with Canoe Trail Bedford we headed off, now I don’t think that we’ll ever be called to the Olympic team but we really did have a laugh, we never quite managed to get the kayak to go in a straight line and much to my joy we paddled right past the lovely Tithe Barn where my husband and I tied the knot.
Being a wedding photographer in Bedfordshire means I get the opportunity to meet so many great and interesting people.
There is also a fabulous range of venues, and I love hearing about my couples plans and how they are going to put their own stamp on them to make them reflect who they are and help tell their love story.
Some of my favourites are Shuttleworth House, Shortmead House, Bassmead Manor and for the smaller more intimate wedding Woburn Coffee House.
My husband and I are great lovers of live music and every year the quaint market town of Ampthill puts on a festival with one evening dedicated to rock and pop music and the other to classical music. We were lucky enough to see Kula Shaker and Clean Bandit on the same bill the year.
In a quest to find a more balanced life I never thought that I would find the level of happiness and contentment that I have found in beautiful Bedfordshire its even gave me the courage to change my career from IT Service Delivery to wedding photographer. I’ll be here, walking the dog, having Sunday lunch in one of the great gastro pubs in the area or capturing beautiful, quirky and fun filled weddings.
