The big day is here!  It's the moment you have dreamed of since you were little and the moment you spent the last year planning down to every detail.  Once in a lifetime moments like this deserve to be captured and cherished for generations.  Whether it's the laughter between you and your friends while getting ready, the quiet embrace your parents share as you walk down the aisle, the joyous first walk hand in hand after saying "I do", or the moments of grief mourning those who are there in spirit, I specialize in capturing all of those raw and real moments.


Your wedding day is unique just like you and deserves to be met with a thoughtful and compassionate eye.  You deserve someone who views every moment as a sacred snapshot of your life and the important people in it.


Proud to work with the LGBTQ+ community!

Hello, I'm Kathryn!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Johnstown, Pennsylvania!  My passion for photography started in 2009 with a little point and shoot camera.  I loved taking the time to look for beauty in ordinary daily life and through that journey I discovered that people are the core of what makes this world so incredible.  I spent the next 15 years creating fine art portraits and perfecting my craft.  I am also a parent to two wonderful children who have taught me how important it is to cherish every moment because they are so fleeting.  I find so much value in being able to give that to other people.  Together we can take a breath and live in the moment while we have it.

Getting engaged


The first step into this beautiful new chapter of your life has begun!  You now have an incredible new fiancé and the fun has just begun!  You have a wedding to plan and that includes bridal parties, invitations, and save the dates!  Taking time to connect with your partner and get beautiful photographs can take a load off of that process.  


Or maybe you haven't popped the question yet and are looking for someone to stealthily take pictures as it happens.  Whether you just got engaged (Congrats!) or are planning the perfect surprise, you have come to the right place!

getting married


The moment has finally arrived and you get to marry your best friend!  Everyone you love the most will be there to celebrate and support you.  You thought of every detail and crafted each moment to be a meaningful reflection of your new life together.  Making sure you have someone who sees all the beauty in those moments of quiet anticipation to all the way to the vibrant party with friends and family is so important.


I make sure you have photos you didn't know you wanted because no moment is too small when you are with the ones you love the most.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it like working with you?

The most important thing to me is your comfort during the photoshoot and on your wedding day.  I am a people first photographer, which means I lead with openness and empathy.  On engagement shoots I take the time to get to know you and your fiance, make sure you are comfortable, and am open for any suggestions or feedback you have!  During the wedding day I am there for whatever you might need and take an unintrusive approach to capture authentic moments.  I give clear directions when needed (such as bridal portraits, family portraits, ect) to make the process as seamless as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your photography style?

My main goal is to capture authentic moments and this includes my style.  I photograph and edit light, airy, and true to life.  These moments should be timeless and my style reflects that.  The last thing I want is for you to look at your wedding album in 10 years and feel like it's dated!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get my images?

For engagement shoots I quote 1-2 weeks and full weddings should anticipate 6-8 weeks.  I want to make sure I take the time to get every image perfect down to the detail.  These will be living in your albums for decades and will be passed down to future generations so every image must be the highest quality!

Lori and Kent

“My fiancé and I got engagement photos and Kathryn was such a great photographer! She captured our personalities through each photo and had all of the photos edited and sent to us the very next morning. Since our photoshoot was outdoors she came prepared with sunscreen, waters for each of us, bug spray, and everything we could possibly need. If you are looking for a thoughtful and skilled photographer I would highly recommend Kathryn! We will definitely be working with her in the near future.”
