Real Weddings, Advice, & Inspiration

Catalyst Wedding Company highlights weddings by and for game-changers. We seek to amplify and empower voices and viewpoints that are usually missing from the Wedding Industrial Complex. We're a community of badass wedding professionals who love all things funky, fresh, diverse, unique, and personality-driven; we convene twice yearly for (un)convention, a collaborative workshop, styled shoot, and dinner party. We're also the publishers of Catalyst Wedding Mag, a resource for couples looking for inspiration and affirmation that doing things differently in wedding-world is not only ok, it's wonderful!

The first time I met Larry and Keisha during their engagement session at The Greenbrier Resort in Lewisburg, West Virginia I knew that we all clicked really well. Keisha and Larry are both smart, funny, and successful and they radiate love for each other. Their hospitality is overwhelming and it is so easy to feel like you've known them for years, even after just meeting. Keisha and Larry were both super laid back for their wedding. It was 100º the day of their wedding and it was one time that I was thankful for everything being indoors (usually I prefer outdoor lighting) ... The heat was impossible, but Keisha and her girls handled it like champions for pictures before the ceremony, and although we didn't get to shoot outdoors with the guys, Larry and Keisha's outdoor portraits make it hard to believe it was so hot outside! Watching Larry with his family and friends, it is easy to see why he is liked by everybody, and he could hardly make it down the aisle for his ceremony because he made sure to acknowledge everyone and say hello.
