About

Hey there, newly engaged couples! I'm Katie, and I've been capturing Pittsburgh weddings since 2013. After hundreds of celebrations, I've pretty much seen it all - from downpours that turned into rainbow photo ops to dance floors that quite literally caught fire (okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea!).

Here's my deal: I'm all about catching those real, unscripted moments - the ugly-cry when dad sees you in your dress, your grandmother's moves on the dance floor, and the subtle squeeze of hands during your first look. But don't worry if you're thinking "help, I don't know how to pose!" - I've got you covered with gentle guidance to make sure you look and feel amazing in front of my camera.

My style? Think photojournalism meets portraiture, with a special love for creating jaw-dropping night shots that'll make your Instagram followers stop scrolling. I keep things true to life in my editing (because those colors you spent months picking out? Yeah, they should actually look like that in your photos), and I promise to keep you laughing and relaxed throughout your day. No awkward prom poses here!

Want to see more? Head over to www.kathrynhyslopphotography.com to check out my work. Fair warning: you might get lost in there for a while (maybe grab some wedding planning snacks first?).

Best Photographer Ever!

Katie is the best! Clearly her work is stunning, she is such an amazing photographer, but she is also an incredible human! Katie photographed my engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She made everyone feel so comfortable and really set the tone for everyone to have fun and relax. She was on top of the schedule without making me feel even remotely rushed or stressed. I've never been a part of family photos at a wedding that went so smoothly, especially with a 4 year old, my mom and sister mentioned multiple times throughout the wedding day how amazing she is! Also, it was really important to my husband and I that we could slow down, spend quality time together and with our families and she was so supportive of creating a timeline that let us do that and be fully present with our loved ones. Can't recommend Katie enough!

Turned a Snowstorm Into Magic

Katie was absolutely incredible to work with, and we could not be happier with our wedding photos.

From the start, she made the entire process fun and painless even with our very large families, which is no small feat. She kept things moving, kept everyone relaxed, and somehow made group photos feel effortless.

We were also lucky enough to have a snowstorm on our wedding day, which made for truly beautiful outdoor photos. But it also required extra grit and dedication. Katie and Tori went above and beyond, braving the elements and somehow convinced our entire wedding party to head outside. We’re so glad they did, because those photos are some of our favorites.

The final images turned out even better than we had hoped for. Katie has an amazing eye, and her ability to capture genuine moments. We are so grateful for her work and cannot recommend her strongly enough to anyone looking for a talented and genuinely enjoyable wedding photographer.

Oh and be sure to do the engagement photo shoot even if you don't want engagement photos. The experience got us used to being photographed and tuned Katie in to what did and didn't look natural for us. While our engagement photos were excellent, by the time we got to our wedding Katie was dialed in and the results were unbelievable.

Amazing photographer

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Katie from Kathryn Hyslop Photography. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she was absolutely amazing. She is incredibly professional, yet makes you feel like you’ve known her for years.
Katie is fantastic at guiding you through poses when you don’t know what to do, without ever making it feel awkward or forced. On our wedding day, she truly felt like a mini assistant, always helping in any way she could and going above and beyond to make the day run smoothly.
What really sets her apart is how naturally she captures moments. She makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera that it feels like it isn’t even there. The photos genuinely reflect who we are and perfectly tell our love story. We will treasure these photos forever and highly recommend Kathryn Hyslop Photography to anyone looking for someone who truly cares and delivers beautiful work.

Hiring Katie was the best decision we made.

We hired Katie to photograph our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made. She was an absolute delight to work with, and her photos are stunning. She is so friendly and professional, and she immediately put me -- someone that totally freezes in front of a camera -- at ease. She was well organized and thorough, and she captured all of the day's moments beautifully. We hope to work with her again in the future, but in the meantime, we're so lucky to have her photos to remind us of our favorite day for years to come. I can't recommend her enough!

A MUST for your wedding day!! The BEST!!

Katie was absolutely incredible to work with. From our first call to our engagement photos to our actual wedding photos, she made the process easy, enjoyable, organized, and so fun. She went above and beyond to give us the perfect wedding photos and we got an amazingly large assortment of candid and posed photos that look natural and high quality and suited us as a couple. We had a large crew and she was able to organize everyone quickly and kindly. She helped keep our day on track. She went with our crazy ideas and even helped bring them to life. We have and will continue to recommend her to absolutely everyone. We didn’t have to worry about a thing on our wedding day largely in part to Katie. And we have way too many amazing photos to even pick a favorite - a great problem to have!!

An Artist, Ally, and Storyteller Behind the Lens

Katie is truly incredible behind the lens and somehow even more incredible as a human being. She photographed my wife and I’s elopement, and from the very first moment we met her, we felt so deeply seen, supported, and genuinely celebrated. It was just the three of us on our wedding day, and Katie brought this effortless calm, so much joy, and an energy that made the entire experience feel sacred and unforgettable. It meant everything to have a photographer who not only understood our vision but honored it. Katie made us feel completely comfortable and authentically ourselves in front of the camera, something that is truly priceless. She captured us exactly as we were: our love, our laughter, and our quiet moments. We were lucky enough to work with her again this past October when she photographed our small, intimate wedding reception, and once again, she exceeded every expectation. She integrated so seamlessly with our guests and made everyone feel comfortable, almost as if they weren’t even being photographed! It shows in the candid, joy-filled images we now treasure. Her talent speaks for itself in every photo. She’s an artist in the truest sense. What sets her apart is who she is. She’s an ally, a storyteller, a hype woman, and one of the warmest, most intentional people you could hope to have by your side on such meaningful day. I would recommend her a thousand times over. If you want a photographer who will not only deliver stunning photos but also make your entire experience feel comfortable, memorable, and full of heart then Katie is your girl!

All of the stars for Katie!

Can't give enough starts to Katie! She is amazing at her craft. Not only does she know exactly how to make you look fantastic in photographs, she is able to put even more camera-shy, introverted people (like my husband and I) at ease in front of the camera. I still don't know how she managed to have a physical sneak peek photo album at our table by the time we sat down for dinner - she might be an actual wizard! 10/10 recommend Katie - this will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day!

We can not recommend Katie enough- she truly made our wedding perfect! From engagement pictures, to assistance with wedding planning, to all of her guidance on the day of- we could not be happier! She was a joy to work with. Katie is reliable, professional, and brings an amazing energy! She was by far the best vendor we chose for our wedding and we are so thankful to the peace and organization she brought to our day! All of our photos turned out absolutely stunning—even better than anything we could have imagined. Every shot reflects the joy, love, and excitement of the day, and we will treasure them forever. If you’re looking for someone who is not only an incredible photographer but also a calming presence who truly cares about your experience, Katie is your girl!

The Best Photographer We Could Have Asked For!

Katie was absolutely incredible and perfectly captured exactly what we envisioned for both our engagement photos and wedding photos! She listened to my partner and I, took time to get to know us, and understood exactly the vibes we were going for when taking photos. I cannot emphasize enough how beautiful her pictures turned out -- we are completely in love. Katie is so friendly and instantly made us feel at ease in front of the camera. And on our wedding day, she was ON it, helping to organize family shots, and made sure the day went smoothly. And on top of that, she even drove out early on the Friday before our wedding to capture sunrise running shots with us and some of our running friends! I simply cannot recommend her services enough!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
