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!

What could make a wedding even more special than sharing it with loved ones? Sharing it with your fur babies, of course! Most couples consider their fur babies members of the family, so why should they stay home on this special day? Here are some of our favorite wedding fur babies.

Mack + Jeanne's Stylish Woodsy Wedding with Their Frenchie

This furry wedding friend must be one of my all-time favorites. Just look at this cute wedding Frenchie ready to party! Bulldogs of any kind are one my go-to breeds and I can’t get enough of this cutie at Mack and Jeanne's outdoor wedding in Cincinnati.

Ajay + Kate's Gulf Shore Destination Wedding with their Beloved Pitbull

A destination wedding is a perfect way to set a romantic, getaway mood. But who's going to watch the dog? Might as well just take them with you like couple Ajay and Kate! They brought their gorgeous pitbull along with them for their special day and included the dog in some of their wedding pictures! This warms my heart and helps to end the sigma of this sweet breed being aggressive and dangerous.

A Little Wedding Inspiration with Cats and Motorcycles

Okay so this one is a styled shoot, but both cats and dogs get included and we can't look away from the cute. “Let’s do a shoot that involves cats…and motorcycles!” That quote was the inspiration for this series of wedding inspiration and it is so, so good.
