Cate Batchelor is a sun-kissed San Diego wedding and portrait photographer with a love for happy hour, big dreams, and lifeÂ’s joyful moments. Once a "souvenir faux-tographer" at the San Diego Zoo, Cate traded khaki uniforms for the adventure of entrepreneurship over a decade ago. Today, she photographs couples celebrating their most meaningful milestones, creating bespoke heirlooms designed to be treasured for generations.
Her style is joyful, polished, and deeply personal—eschewing cookie-cutter poses in favour of imagery that feels natural, emotive, and timeless. Whether documenting destination weddings or local love stories, Cate sees each day as a blank canvas, crafting works of art her couples can feel, touch, and relive again and again.
