Beau Monde Philadelphia Reviews
Cathie with BeauMonde Originals is that WOMAN behind the camera. From the moment we started, she made me feel like a model! She knows how to find the light, capture the vibe, and make you look like the best version of yourself without it feeling forced or awkward. The photos? Chef’s kiss! Beaumonde Originals is officially my go-to, 10/10 would strike a pose again!
HIGHLY recommend Cathie. I am so happy with my headshots. Well worth the investment. She truly understood my vision and they are even better than I could have imagined.
Cathie and her team are professionals in capturing the essence of the moment. Our group tours involved 100+ people, and Beaumonde was able to get the photography and videography of every aspect including photos of the environment, food, people, and overall joyous feelings. This wasn't the first time we've partnered with Beaumonde and certainly won't be the last. They give great direction with staged photos and show mastery of lighting and angles. photo credit: Beaumonde Originals
I absolutely loved my experience with BeauMonde Originals. After an amazing job at a collective comedy show earlier this year, I hired Cathie for updated professional photos for my website and branding. The entire process was seamless! From the prep session to visualizing the shoot, Cathie was attentive and intuitive to my needs. The day of was a breeze, we easily moved through different shots and I felt very taken care of as far as knowing where to stand, directions in posture and feeling comfortable. I felt very at ease and the results showed! I believe that my essence was captured and showcased perfectly. Will definitely use again, thank you!!!
Beaumonde Originals came highly recommended by friends to capture our August 2022 wedding. I always admired BeauMonde's style and mission and kept them in the back of my mind for when the time was right. Cat and her team can be found at all the hippest events, but also show up to support the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. It was really important to us to support a local vendor who shared our same values. We worked directly with BMO's lead photographer, Melanie, and she was spectacular! She made both our engagement and wedding day shoots super fun and easy. Melanie and the team captured our aesthetic and style perfectly. Their vision, professionalism, and talent really went above and beyond anything I could have imagined! We will always think of them for any shoot in the future, as well as recommend them to anyone looking for professional photos!
We cannot explain how grateful that Cat and Al SOMEHOW had an opening in their super-busy schedules when we booked them last minute for our June 2016 wedding! We had a really bad experience with our original photographer that led us searching for a new one with only TWO MONTHS to spare! Luckily, one of their weddings ended up being moved so they were available. And, honestly, although having to find a new photographer so close to our wedding was incredibly stressful - I believe, at the end of the day, that it was truly "meant to be." After clicking via our initial Skype convo, we met up with Cat and Al for a last minute mini-engagement shoot - mainly to get to know each other better and talk about our thoughts for our wedding day. My partner and I have some insecurities being in front of the camera, but Cat and Al made us feel cool, calm, and collected the entire time. They found ways to allow us to be comfortable, natural, and authentic. We knew after that day we made the right decision! And, as expected, they were a DREAM on our wedding day. They kept us on schedule but were also flexible when things didn't go exactly according to plan. After the big day, we received our photos soooo quickly - and relished in how many amazing shots they were able to capture. The best part of working with BG is that we now feel truly part of their family - and know that we have made friends for life. We cannot recommend them enough! Also SUPER LGBTQ inclusive - in case anyone needed that info as well! :)
Can we give more than 5 stars? Why? Because Beaumonde Originals was nothing less than amazing. My husband and I discovered Beaumonde Originals through a internet search for both photography and videography services. This aspect of having both services in house was extremely important to us. We hit it off with Cathie from the very first Zoom video call. My husband and I live and breath Philadelphia and we knew Beaumonde Originals would best capture the infinite energy of our relationship. Want to talk about fun? Our engagement session has several costume changes and two very drastic location changes. We went from Philly sports fandom to University City academia. Cathie captured the whole day flawlessly. Fast forward to wedding day preparation. Cathie spelled out the day’s timeline in all practical forms. She made the day manageable, fun, and stress free. Enter Wedding day! Cathie and her team got down to business immediately and kept the flow going. Improv moments throughout the first look, bridal party photos, and family photos made the day even that more magically. Cathie and her team tackled the challenge that was the Franklin Institute Planetarium ceremony and the product was absolutely phenomenal. Even up to the ends of the epic reception, Beaumonde Originals maintained incredible focus and commitment to this spectacular day. My husband and I had the utmost trust in this team. We want to share all the love and adoration to Cathie and her team. When you book Beaumonde Originals, you can feel confident in the talent and dedication of the team. We HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you book Beaumonde Originals for all your photography and videography needs for your big day.
I truly enjoyed working with BeauMonde Originals on my recent lifestyle shoot. I actually would like to call the shoot "an experience" versus a typical photo shoot. They were able to showcase my essence and brand so easily. We had fun and got some amazing shots on a very hot day. Rebranding is a stressful process and their calm and relaxing energy while capturing me on camera -made my anxiety melt away. They have a great eye for bringing life into a photo and telling my story. I feel extremely confident that these new images are going to inspire more clients to work with me.
Booking Beau Monde Originals will be the best decision you make. My husband and I used them for our engagement pictures, our wedding, and more recently: a family shoot! From the first time we met them, they were warm, openminded, and TALENTED beyond measure. They know how to make you feel confident and safe when in their hands. They care about their clients and will make your experience enjoyable no matter what. They know how to do everything, from keeping a large wedding party under control, to handling the chaos of a 4 month old screaming during a photoshoot. They can truly do it all without making you feel self-conscious or stressed. Cat and Al take their work very seriously, but they do that all while having fun with you. We get so many compliments on our photos because they are not only beautiful, but they truly capture who we are as a family. Thanks for everything, guys!
We hired BeauMonde Originals to create our new website. What an amazing job! We needed creativity and an eye for detail - they delivered on both! They created an elegant, classy and totally original website for us. So happy we are working with them!
I've worked with Cat and Al for years, but for the first time, I was the client. They took me on an amazing shoot at different locations around Philadelphia and I got a treasure trove of excellent photos, any one of which was worth their fee. Fun, talented, creative, and excellent attention to detail.
I am a business owner, Author and regular local and national TV contributor, my business runs primarily on the Main Line but I also have national and international clients and do a lot of local and national media work regularly. I have had the pleasure of working with Cathie and Al for various video productions for my book, business and even my speaking engagements. We continue to work together for various projects (videos and branding photos) and I am over the top happy to work with them each time. They really take time to plan each shoot and learn about what my goals are from the project. Their professionalism is over the top. They are always well prepared, punctual and on top of things. Above all their positive energy, personable and friendly attitude just makes it easy to work with them. Highly recommend!
BG Productions continually exceeds my expectations. Not only have I used them multiple times for family/lifestyle shoots, but I always recommend them to others for weddings & lifestyle. As a wedding planner, I know a lot of photographers. I can't help but be drawn to the work that BG Productions does. There's no doubt that their videos & photos are beautiful, but they amazingly capture so many perfect moments. I have photos of my daughter in which her personality is shining so brightly, it's almost blinding. I will cherish those pictures forever. Thank you Cathie & Al for that. It's almost impossible to not become friends with these two after they capture your most intimate life moments.
BeauMonde Originals are truly wonderful to work with! Having worked with quite a few photographers in my career, I can say that their work in both the photo and video realm is some of the best I've ever seen. Their unparalleled creativity combined with their ultra responsiveness and dedication to their clients makes them a rare gem in this field. They've shot a number of events for me, all of which turned out perfectly, and also created an awesome video that really got to the core of who we are as a brand. We always get compliments on their work! I also love that they are so true to their values as a company, and are always giving back to our community. I'd recommend them highly. Thanks BeauMonde!
If you want eclectic, artistic, unique and fabulous wedding photos you gotta use BG! Cat Is the best and so easy to work with. I actually chose them for my Philadelphia, Pa wedding all the way in AZ! I just loved the vibe of their work. It was so unique and polished I knew I HAD to go with them. I never got a chance to met the amazingly talented Cat in person Bc she was in Iceland during my wedding but it was totally fine and we worked it all out perfectly. She helped me so much along the way and was always available to answer any questions/ concerns and made us feel at ease about the entire process. Our wedding was shot by their lead associate team of Jen, James and Brian on video. The team got such a great variety of shots. I can't stop going through all our photos! I'm so in love with them all. It was so special to relive the best day ever all over again. Thank you so much for capturing it all so beautifully. We love the BG team!
Beaumondorginals has amazing photography, digital designs, and carefully created content. Sometimes in life, people are scared to have their picture taken, but Cathie and her team provide reassurance, and excitement to any shoot. The way Beaumondorignals team is so helpful, and know how to capture the perfect shoot. My photos that were taken by Cathie were magazine worthy. Cathie’s eye to capture beauty is out of this world, she talented, and know angles like no other. Beaumondorginals is amazing, and worth the experience, Cathie and her team are wonderful. Lastly, Cathie and her team make you feel beautiful, strong, and full of life, best digital team yet.
Our experience with BeauMonde Originals was fantastic! They were extremely professional and delivered on everything we had discussed, working impressively within our budget and time frame. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for videography work and look forward to working with them again on future projects.
I have worked with BG Productions on several occasions and absolutely love their work. I have done two "family" shoots with them involving myself, my husband and our three rescue dogs. They really captured the spirit and personality of our family. I have also worked with them for a number of years through FemCity Philadelphia, a group of over 1500 businesswomen in the Greater Philadelphia Region. Cathie has covered many of our events and we are lucky to have her. People rave about her photos (especially her candids). She has a great eye and the flavor of each event really translates in her photos. Our members are always excited about her photos and having such high quality professional photos also really helps us to market and grow the organization.
Cathie and Al are AMAZING. From our first phone call for our wedding, Cathie and Al made everything easy. My husband and I didn’t have a clear idea on how we wanted to structure the day and Beaumonde stepped in and helped us plan everything for the day and prioritized what mattered to us. I’ve never felt comfortable in front of a camera, but Beaumonde makes it easy, stress free, and you get fantastic results! Couldn’t recommend them more highly.
A Seamless Experience with BeauMonde Originals! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot recommend BeauMonde Originals enough for their exceptional web development services. Working with their team has been an absolute pleasure for OmniPotential. From the outset, BeauMonde Originals demonstrated unmatched professionalism and attention to detail. They not only grasped our vision seamlessly but also translated it into a visually stunning and functionally impeccable website. What truly sets them apart is their lightning-fast response time. Quick turnaround and proactive communication made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. BeauMonde Originals exceeded our expectations in delivering a high-quality product promptly. If you're seeking top-tier web development services, look no further. BeauMonde Originals has set a standard we believe few can match. We look forward to future collaborations! Cora Castle, CEO OmniPotential Energy Partners
We love love love Cat & Al. They did our wedding and we couldn't have asked for more. We didn't want tons of staged shots and they did exactly that. We got beautiful pictures of us getting ready, our first look, ceremony & reception. They also handled our families wonderfully, firmly but politely, to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. Our wedding was in February and we got our pictures back about a month later. We couldn't be happier & are so glad to support our neighbors. I would recommend them without reservation or hesitation. Love them!!
Cathie Berrey-Green and Alan Green are such a wonderful, dynamic and talented duo to work with! I was very nervous and uncomfortable to be video taped but they were able to calmed me down and gave me tips to how to be my best. They worked their magic and put together a fabulous video for me to add to my Interior Design website. I loved working with them and will continue to work in future projects! Highly recommend them.
Five stars are not enough to describe The BG team! We have used BG for engagement photos, our wedding, family photos and other photo shoots! The entire BG team are there for you in ways you wouldn't even imagine. The team is down to earth, spunky, loving, respectful, talented and the list keeps going. They aren't about the fake poses, but about capturing the real moments between people. They are extremely devoted photographers and videographers who love what they do! You cannot ask for anyone better! I truly can say that we have made new friends and have found our photographers for life! If I could, I would have them follow me around 24/7! Call them immediately! It will be the best decision of your life!
Again, this company went above and beyond in documenting our DivaGirl Event this September where we dare our guests to get out of their comfort zone! Cathie knows how to work the details and take the right shots to commemorate the event. This company is fun, dedicated and always a pleasure working with. Highly recommend!
Thank you Beaumonde Originals for the phenomenal service. Not only were they there from start to finish at my event but they were constantly snapping content which I appreciated. They knew exactly what content I had in mind and they followed through perfectly. Not to mention, the images they had captured were amazing. I felt like their vision made it possible for viewers online to catch a glimpse of the event and feel as if they were there even though they weren’t. Thank you Cathie and team for your fantastic visual and service. Until next time!
AMAZING. Not only are Cathie and Al wonderful people, but they are great at what they do. They made our wedding day go so smoothly, thought of the best ideas for pictures and the pictures themselves are GORGEOUS. Idc that I had to wait awhile for all my pictures, it was totally worth it!! I will use them in the future and I recommend them for any photography/videography you need!
My best advice to you, the reader, is this: know that not all "photographers" and "videographers" are equal. Closing in on 30, my wife and I have been to our fair share of weddings, as well as other types of social and corporate events. We've seen pictures and video stemming from these events, and, perhaps more importantly, we've observed the nature in which the teams in charge of chronicling the stories of these events owned (or neglected) their massive responsibilities. Think about it. Scattered throughout our lives - in both personal and professional settings - are a series of pinnacle moments. After the food has been eaten, the presentations have been given, and the applause has concluded, all you are left with are your memories of the tastes, sights, and sounds of the most important times of your life. So my question to you, the reader, is this: just how much thought and care do you want to dedicate to the decision to select a "photographer" or "videographer" for your upcoming corporate event, wedding, or [insert pivotal moment here]? I'll make this choice especially easy. I speak from multiple experiences: go with BeauMonde Originals. If you want great story tellers and even better people to ensure the events you've planned for months/years are captured the way they deserve to be, you couldn't pick a better company to do this. You're in safe and superbly capable hands with BeauMonde. My wife and I began as their customers years ago, and we are proud today to call them friends as they continue to grow their mission and evolve their offerings. It's simple: choose BeauMonde Originals. You will NOT be disappointed! 🙂
I worked with Cathie and Al on a video to help promote my business and it was an incredible experience. They are patient (beyond belief!) and focused. They helped me through my issues of being "on-camera" and really helped me enjoy the experience. If you are looking for corporate video, branding video or anything promotional, BG Productions should be on your list!
BG Productions photographed my entire family including our dog Lilah as part of their BG Bully Family Project. They traveled 2 hours in order to include us in their project. The first part of the photo shoot was to highlight our family. This was the first time we ever had a professional family photo and I was very apprehensive. I was sure that one of us (me) would look horrible or squint etc. in the pictures and ruin it. BG Productions took their time with us and they were able to capture the best family photo I have ever had taken. We have received so many compliments on all the photos but one in particular stands out among the rest. I couldn't be happier with the results. The second part of the photo shoot focused mainly on our dog Lilah and her work as a therapy dog. BG Productions accompanied Lilah, my sons and I to our local nursing home where they were able to capture Lilah working her magic. The photos are wonderful and show Lilah, a pit bull being warm and loving to her older friends. They show the connection between "man and his best friend". The moments captured continue to spread joy each and every time they are shown to family and friends at the nursing home. Not only did BG Productions capture these moments but they also sent a copy of the photos to share with the nursing home residents. As we visit each week I see the photos pinned to bulletin boards throughout the nursing home. I hear residents pointing out the photos to family members and staff, proudly. These photos captured the friendship between residents and Lilah and are priceless keepsakes for our friends. I cannot thank BG Productions enough for including us in this wonderful project and not only bringing light to the positive aspects of bully breeds but also helping us to bring to joy to our elderly friends...and of course capturing that once in a lifetime family photo I never thought we would get. I can't speak highly enough. On my own experience I would highly recommend them, however I have also been awed looking at their work with others as well. They are truly talented and gifted in their craft.
Using BG Productions was the best decision we made for our wedding! We had photos and video taken and they captured the entire day. They listened to what we wanted and made it even better. On top of being very professional they are really just amazing people. I would use them again in a heartbeat!
Cat and Al were such a pleasure to work with. After 10 years of marriage, my wife and I wanted to have photos done that captured our love for each other and our personalities. I loved the areas we went to around Philly, and they knew what to do to get the best shots, the best ones are those we weren't expecting! It was an awesomely fun day! Thanks guys!
Cathie and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with! Both fun and professional -- the photos turned out fantastic and we look forward to working with them for future events.
Flat World Media took our company head shots a few weeks ago and the photos are wonderful! They made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. Our new brochure looks great now with all of our photos in it!
BeauMonde Originals is more than a contract you'll sign. They are your dreamers and collaborators, partnering with you every step of the way towards a more brilliant deliverable than you could have imagined.
I Highly recommend BeauMonde Originals!!! My wedding photos came out so Beautiful. I received photos quickly & was able to download. Easy to work with and very professional.
My organization - the East Falls Development Corporation - has worked with Cathie and BeauMonde Originals for photography services for two of our major events. Cathie and her team have been wonderful! Communicative, fun and easy to work with, professional - and delivered beautiful photos for us to use for years to come. Cathie is also involved in our East Falls community and a dedicated member of our Business Association; her dedication to our small business community and our residents is incredibly impactful!
I've used BeauMonde Originals many times, and each time I've had an amazing experience as well as amazing pictures. Cathie and her team are very professional, attentive, and truly know how to capture special moments. Their creativity and attention to detail always exceed my expectations. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for high-quality, authentic photos and a team that makes you feel comfortable every step of the way.
BeauMonde did an amazing job! They shot our photodocumentary project for a high profile client and received nothing but praise. Cathie was flexible and willing to go above and beyond without asking. Her passion for craft is apparent in her enthusiasm and the quality of her work. Highly recommend!
Wow, we are absolutely in love with our wedding photos. Look no further for a photographer and videographer team that will capture every incredible moment perfectly. We did a lot of research before choosing a photo/video team as we wanted to be sure whoever captured our wedding was experienced and were people we connected with. Cathie and Al fit those boxes and more. As a queer, black-owned business in Philly with knowledge of our venue, we felt incredibly comfortable with them. They also brought on two great team members for additional photo/video coverage. The BeauMonde team was prompt and ready to go on our wedding day. Cathie spent time with us prior creating a detailed schedule for photos that fit the timeline of the day and ensured we stuck to it so we never felt rushed. They took so many stunning shots of the venue, us, our family and friends throughout the day. Their team truly captured the emotions of the day. Looking back on all the photos allows us to relive the experience. They really are the best!
Working with Cathie at BeauMonde is always a pleasure! She's quick to respond and takes lovely pictures. We love working with her at Play Patrol Company and she comes highly recommended!
BeauMonde Originals has a unique talent for capturing people's essence within their photos, even when taking pictures of a conference or other business related event. I always love working with Cathie!
Cathie was the perfect wedding photographer for our very micro-wedding in the spring of 2021. We knew we wanted someone we were comfortable sharing our intimate ceremony with, and Cathie was both warm and professional, and a joy to work with. The photos turned out amazing, and with a very quick turnaround. Highly recommend BeauMonde Originals!
We recently hired BeauMonde to capture great photos of our neighborhood's holiday event. Cathie was a pleasure to work with and the photos were fantastic. We will definitely use them again for future events and recommend them to anyone looking for top quality photos.
I absolutely love working with Cathie from BeauMonde Originals. As a professional model it’s not always easy to ‘speak the same language’ as the photographer. Well let me say, Cathie speaks all the languages! I’ve seen her working with all kinds of people and she always finds a way to make everyone feel comfortable on set and get the best out of her models. Would absolutely recommend! Thank you Cathie!!
Our Hidden Mickey Christmas Theme couldn’t of turned out any better then I imagined. What I’m more excited about is seeing the photos and the videography captured from that day. Cathi & her crew were absolutely amazing!!! By the end of the night, we were hugging each other like we were family. Everyone talked so well about our children, and how there was not a dry eye in the room. The group was professional and extremely comfortable to be around. Cathi did our engagement photos in 2019, so she’s been communicating with my husband and I for two years now. I appreciate her and her crew! Highly recommend them !!!!!
Booking Cathie and Al to capture our big day was the best investment my husband and I have ever made! From day one upon first meeting this incredible duo, it was evident that they weren’t just your average wedding photographers. They truly wanted to get to know us and understand what our wedding day was all about. Many of our family members and bridal party members actually assumed Cathie and Al were long time friends because of how comfortable they felt working with them throughout the day! Their passion to capture their clients’ passion is truly unmatchable.
There's a reason I've worked with the BeauMonde team numerous times - they are amazing! The team has captured photos and videos for my non-profit that really helped us tell the story of our impact. Beyond the great photos, I really appreciate the flexibility and positive attitude that BeauMonde brings. When they are with you, they jump in to do whatever is needed to make your event successful. Highly recommend!
Amazing photographers. Professional and creative! Our conference presenters, sponsors and delegates were so happy to see the candid photos of themselves. We too were very happy with the photos and wished I had more time to get more headshots (I was busy running around hosting the conference). But Cathie was able to capture the true essence of our event and our community. I highly recommend them and will most likely use them again for future events.
How do I give Cathie from Beau Monde more than 5 stars? It's hard to express in words how amazing Cathie is -- as a person & as a photographer. My husband, family, and friends loved her and how passionate she is about her work. Because our wedding was in a few weeks of booking her, Cathie was helpful and accommodating, she shot our reveal hours before the wedding. She then drove to another town to do the wedding, then back to the first location. We had endless compliments on our revel and wedding photos. I can't thank her enough for all her creativity, inspiration, and personal feel she added to that day. Cathie is the best photographer to work with! I will be using her again in the future and have already made several recommendations for her and Beau Monde.
Finding a photographer for your wedding or any special day can be a daunting task! How can you find beautiful photos, as well as people that you vibe with and make you feel comfortable? After meeting with Cathie and Al at their home, we instantly connected and knew they were the right people to capture our special day. They got to know us as people, wanting to know what movies, TV, hobbies, and things we are into, so we could find what we have in common. We were going back and forth about if we wanted a videographer, and lucky for us Beaumonde Originals is a husband and wife team of a photographer and videographer. Cathie takes amazing photos and Al captures such special moments on film. Their additional photo and video team members are just as talented! We did our engagement photos and they helped us find locations that were unique across the city. They were totally willing to run around the city chasing beautiful locations and the sunset. Using them for our engagement photos helped us become more comfortable in front of the camera, and helped Cathie and Al learn more about us as a couple. We got our engagement photos back within a week and were able to use them for our Save the Dates. Leading up to our wedding, we met for a venue walkthrough where we made a timeline for the big day, a list of photo locations, and sketched out lists of photos to be taken. Cathie communicated often and gave us clear lists of information and items she needed from us. This helped me stay organized and kept us both informed of important information needed for the wedding day. All of this preparation helped the big day run smoothly. The day of the wedding, the Beaumonde Originals team arrived on time and immediately got down to business. The team managed our large bridal party and families to get our photos done quickly. We were behind schedule after the ceremony went long, but the team worked efficiently to get us back on track. They captured all the special details of our big day and found unique locations for our photos. Above all, the team members at Beaumonde Originals are wonderful people to work with. They do their jobs extremely well, while being kind, passionate, and dedicated people. We wholeheartedly recommend them to capture your big day!
