About
Hello
I’m katie!
So who am I? Well, I’m a wedding and portrait photographer with over 11 years of experience and a knack for creating those “wow” moments that make you say, “Is that really us?” (Spoiler: it is!). I thrive on timelines—think of me as your wedding day GPS, ensuring you never take a wrong turn toward the reception (I’ve never made a client late - not once!).
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m at home in Pittsburgh with my high-school sweetheart, where we continue to navigate life’s adventures together. One kid, one dog, and one cat make our household pretty full! You can catch us at our favorite brewery (Lincoln Ave) or starting another renovation project in our 100-year-old house.
My clients often describe me as a calming presence during chaotic moments. Whether it’s an unexpected rain storm or a minor wardrobe malfunction, I’m here to keep smiles on faces and the panic at bay. My secret? A little humor, a lot of kindness, and maybe some behind-the-scenes dance moves (plus a trunk full of umbrellas - no joke)! After 11 years in the industry, I’ve seen it all.
For editing, my goal is to keep your photos timeless - not trendy. I love a true-to-life approach; capturing the real colors you put work into selecting. Let’s keep it real, you don’t want dated photos in 5 years!
I truly love what I do—it's not just a job to me. I’m all about going above and beyond to ensure your wedding day is as joyful and memorable as possible. So, if you’re looking for someone to help you savor every candid moment while keeping the fun flowing, I’m your photographer! Let’s create some magic together!

My story
I wasn’t always a photographer, but I always knew I wanted to connect with people through art.
My journey into photography started in the most unexpected way. After spending years immersed in the world of psychology, I found my true passion at a friend’s wedding. Surrounded by laughter, joyful tears, and enough cookies to feed a small army, I realized that capturing these moments was my calling. And let’s face it, what’s better than working with happy people?
Growing up, I was a creative whirlwind, dabbling in everything from playing multiple instruments (with varying degrees of success) to painting masterpieces that could rival a toddler’s art project. Photography, however, didn’t truly click for me until my parents moved away as I finished up my final year at college. My dad took his cameras with him—how dare he, haha! Fueled by a mix of rebellion and determination, I bought my own camera, and the rest is history.
Turns out, my background in psychology became the secret ingredient to success. I have a knack for reading the room—whether it’s capturing someone holding back tears or knowing when it is time to take a break from the chaos, I’m there to document it all. There are no limits on the number of photos here!
Fast forward to today, and here I am, the self-proclaimed “Happiest Wedding Photographer” around. I thrive on the joy of love stories, all the cookies at the cookie table, and the inevitable dance-off that breaks out at every reception.
So if you’re looking for a photographer who knows how to seize those candid moments and soak in all the joy, I’m your person!
