Wedding and Family Photography in Bellevue
Catherine “Cat” Furlin is a wedding and family documentary photographer based in Bellevue, Iowa, near Dubuque. On her own site, she describes an approach centered on honest images, personal stories and photos that feel like the people in them.

Weddings We’ve Teamed Up On
Two 2026 wedding worksheets named Catherine Furlin as the photographer. Absolute Music’s completed bookings for both weddings included DJ services and a photo booth, with ceremony sound included in the October booking.
May 2026: Chestnut Mountain Resort
The May wedding at Chestnut Mountain Resort in Galena, Illinois, paired Cat’s photography with Absolute Music’s DJ services and photo booth. The reception plans included an outdoor tent beside the resort. One request on the worksheet called for a dance-floor moment to happen while the photographer was still there, a useful reminder to build those photo priorities into the music timeline.
October 2026: Potter’s Mill Event Center
The October wedding at Potter’s Mill Event Center in Bellevue, Iowa, listed Catherine Furlin as the photographer. Absolute Music’s booking included DJ services, a photo booth and ceremony sound. The worksheet planned ceremony sound outside if weather allowed, followed by reception sound inside. It also placed group table photos before the couple’s reception entrance and dinner.
Keeping Music and Photos in Sync
Photo plans can shape the reception schedule, whether that means allowing time for table photos or timing a requested dance before photography coverage ends. We reach out ahead of the wedding to introduce ourselves and coordinate the moments that involve both music and photos.
A Photo Booth Alongside Your Photographer
Both shared bookings included an Absolute Music photo booth. Your photographer’s coverage and a booth have different roles at a reception. Explore our photo booth options if you want a booth alongside your wedding photography.
