Cat Lyndell Photography

Forget awkward portraits, instead let's make fun and laughter-filled memories!

Wedding, couples, & family photographer

Hey! I’m Cat

I'm down-to-earth and always ready to laugh at a joke, the cheesier the better! When you book me as your photographer you're guaranteed to feel like one of the funniest people around.

When I say photography is my obsession, my friends and family would agree! They often groan as I pull out my camera once again or sigh as I stop in the street to offer to take a photo for a stranger who is struggling with a selfie.
It's the classic story of a girl who picked up her Dad's camera at a young age and never put it down.

I believe everyone deserves beautiful photos of themselves and those they love. The laughter between friends, the intimate glances between partners and the squishy cuddles of a toddler with their parent... I love being able to preserve moments of connection and emotion in stunning images for you to look back on for years to come.

“Cat was everything I could have hoped for in a wedding photographer, capturing each heartfelt moment with incredible warmth, care, and ease. Her genuine approach turned our special day into a beautifully told story filled with so much love and joy.

We're so grateful for the way Cat made our memories come alive and we will look back on them fondly for years to come"

Starting at $1500

You're pouring your heart and soul into this celebration of the love between you and your partner. Let's make sure you have stunning photos to remember forever. Ranging from intimate elopement to full-blown party, I've got you covered! Let's discuss what you're planning and how I can preserve it for you.

Weddings

Starting at $350

There doesn't need to be a special occasion to have photos taken with your lover. Of course we love engagement photos, but let's also make it normal to have nice photos together throughout your relationship!
I'm a fan of the 'just-because' sessions that capture you as you are now - fun, flirty, adventurous - whatever your vibe is, let's capture it!

Couples

Starting at $350

You have a full phone camera roll of photos of your little ones, don't you? But it's less likely that you have photos with your babies no matter what age they are so let's change that!
Gather the family and let's snap some memories of cheeky smiles and little giggles or even some reluctant teenage hugs. And yes, fur-babies definitely count!

Families

Absolutely! No matter your gender, race, size or sexuality, you're welcome here!

As a queer woman myself, I know the importance of having a team of people around you who will celebrate alongside you. You're valid and loved and I can't wait to take images that reflect the love that surrounds you!

For any outdoor couples and family shoots don't stress - I am always open to rescheduling if the weather is extreme. But if there is a little bit of cloud or rain threatening it's often worth continuing on. Often you'll find epic sunsets and backgrounds emerge and I also have clear umbrellas prepared in case of a little bit of rain!

Although I'm currently based in Bendigo, I have lived on the Mornington Peninsula for years. I have spent lots of time on the Great Ocean Road, lived in Queensland and several overseas locations. So I am always ready to pick up and travel to your event.

For any travel over 1 hour for couples or family sessions or 90 minutes for weddings there will be a small fee to cover time and petrol costs. Let me know what location you're considering and I will happily discuss the options.

It can be nerve-wracking to have family photos done; life with kids can be unpredictable sometimes. As someone who has had years of experience with children, I am well prepared and have tricks up my sleeve.

My family sessions are all about those little life-moments, not awkward portraits, so we can work with their emotions and energy. That way we can capture the beautiful images that you're looking forward to.

For any couples or family sessions, the delivery timeframe is within 3 weeks of the session date.

Weddings take longer due to the nature of the event. Delivery of your gallery will be within 8 weeks of your wedding. I know you will be dying to see your photos so I always send out a little preview gallery of 25-30 images within a week of your event to tide you over.

Believe me, you're not alone - I am a photographer who always feels awkward when a camera turns on me! This means I know exactly what you're feeling and can help you with ways to feel more at ease.

I will fill your session with plenty of prompts that will keep you busy connecting with your partner or family; you won't have time to feel awkward. I also love incorporating props where appropriate to give you something more to focus on as well.
