From meeting Katie almost 3 years ago to finally going through with our wedding celebration (rescheduled multiple times because of COVID), Katie has always been fun, down-to-earth,...
and professional. She keeps things lighthearted while also getting the shots that you ask for, in addition to recommending shots that you didn't know that you needed. We have had a wonderful experience with Katie and already have discussed hiring her for all of our major milestones in the future. We can't recommend her highly enough!
I had high expectations for this photographer after she worked with many of my friends over the years, capturing gorgeous photos. We did an engagement session that turned into a se...
cond session due to her choice to use a very dark filter in her edits. However, her shots, angles, and ideas were pretty pleasing. We had high expectations for our wedding day and we got a few great shots. However, we were left disappointed with a lot of missing shots. We had plenty of time throughout the day and had three photographers, allowing an intern to help may have been a mistake. I expected to have a few shots taken of just me as the bride all dressed and ready but that didn't happen... And she missed photographing our one decor request of the placecard display which was our biggest labor of love for the reception. Since getting our shots from her, I have been questioning my sanity for thinking we would be more satisfied and get the shots we hoped for and ones that are pretty standard. There isn't even a photo of my groom and I wearing our rings after the ceremony. We were blessed to get married on a beautiful day, yet we stood in front of one wall for most of our pictures and it wasn't even the most attractive wall at the venue. We definitely expected more variety, thoughtfulness, and attention to the details, especially having THREE photographers. Definitely hire a photographer who knows the venue well enough to be prepared. And at the end of the day, most (definitely NOT all) of the photos we recieved were nice.
Holding Life Still Photography by Katie Brock is nothing short of incredible. I am so thankful to have had Katie as a photographer for my wedding. To begin, she is thoughtful and p...
rompt with all communication. She never made me feel like I was asking too many questions or taking up too much time. Katie took the time to get to know us to make our day centered around who we are as a couple. She found the perfect moments to capture our day and knows the best lighting, angles, backdrops, etc. I was swept away when I saw the finished product. I am the first to say that I hate to have my photo taken, but Katie’s relaxed yet professional manner makes you want to smile, have fun, and take photos all day. I have never gotten so many compliments on photos as I have with hers. Her work is breathtaking. I wish we had more big events just to have Katie capture them! If you can get Holding Life Still Photography, you absolutely should.
Choosing a wedding photographer was no easy feat. I had first seen Katie's work when she photographed a wedding I had attended. I fell in love with her images. My husband and I got...
married on October 20th, 2017 at Moonstone Manor. Katie worked with us to be flexible and give us exactly what we wanted. Our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely amazing. One thing I knew I wanted was LOTS of photos. She grabbed us for a sunset and night time shoot during our wedding. Her pricing is also super reasonable compared to other photographers. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
We had a wonderful experience working with Katie! We couldn't be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I feel so lucky to have such amazing pictures of such a special tim...
e in my life. Katie is a true talent and a gem to work with. Thanks again, Katie! :)
Cannot say enough good things about Katie! We had the pleasure of having her and her husband at our wedding this past weekend. She is able to make you feel so comfortable in front...
of the camera and give you very helpful direction. She has a vision for photography unlike others. We first met her during our engagement photos which came out gorgeous but do not even come close to the couple we have seen from the wedding so far. Many people have told us they belong in a magazine. We HIGHLY recommend using Katie for any photography needs!!
Katie and her second shooter (actually her husband - so much fun!) were so great to work with for our wedding. She is a complete professional and truly loves her job. She even we...
nt beyond her photographer duties and stepped in to help with small things that went wrong during the day. You can tell she absolutely wants you to have a beautiful wedding day and is willing to go above and beyond to give you that.
Our pictures from both our engagement shoot and our wedding are fantastic and gorgeous. She does such an amazing job capturing images beyond the typical standard wedding pictures. That was definitely one of the things that drew us to her. We were looking for a photographer who would truly capture the day, not just go through the motions. They absolutely did and we have so many beautiful pictures to choose from!
The other thing that I have to commend them on is their ability to maintain control. We had such a large wedding party, including 6 kids. The fact that they were able to give us fabulous group pictures with that many individuals to manage speaks volumes by itself. We are so thrilled we were able to book Holding Life Still Photography for our wedding and I am sure you will be as well.
Katie photographed both our engagement pictures and wedding day, and I cannot say enough positive things about Katie and her work. She is so wonderful ahead of time to meet with (s...
kype for me working out of town) and allow us to look through some of her other complete weddings. I knew after seeing her work that I wanted her to photograph our big day. She was also really helpful throughout the planning process, and even sent me some suggestions for florists when I was looking (and having a hard time finding one for a Sunday wedding). We had a great engagement session with her outside in January then a beautiful summer day with her in August. While completely opposite, both were wonderful and are pictures we will cherish forever. Katie is so great to work with and flexible for any pictures you may decide you want throughout the day. I can go on and one, but the fact is, Katie is wonderful to work with and takes beautiful photos that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing wedding photographer!
Being in the wedding industry myself (as a florist) I had the honor of working with Katie before actually hiring her to do my own wedding. One of our mutual clients sent me some o...
f her flower pics and they stopped me dead in my tracks. Over the years, I've seen a lot of work from various photographers, there is just something extraordinary about Katie's style that sets her apart. We got a sample of our pics right after our wedding and I think I was yelling in my husband's ear as we were going through them "look at that one, wait, look at that one!!". I cannot say enough good things about Katie and am so very grateful she was available to capture our day!
I'm from New York but my husband is from PA so we decided to have it there. I didn't know much about any vendors but I looked online and found some different venues. While I was se...
arching at pictures I found some wedding pictures that were tagged by Katie. I absolutely fell in love with her work. Starting my wedding planning the only thing I knew for the first few months was that I wanted her to take my photos at my wedding. She kept in touch with me the whole year before my wedding and was willing to help me with any wedding questions I had. She caught every moment at my wedding and every time I look at my pictures I feel like I am reliving the day over and over again. She is a great price and lets be honest it is so important to have a great photographer because pictures are all you have after the big day and she is AMAZING!!! I loved her so much that once my son is born I'm going to wait till we go back to PA to get family pictures done by her.
Katie was fun to work with, her pictures came out absolutely great! Her and her husband were very easy to get along with and very flexible. They blended in great on our wedding day...
. We would highly recomend them to anyone looking for a photographer.
Katie was a part of our wedding - not just someone snapping pictures. She was very creative and took time to get to know our personalities in order to create pictures we still LOV...
E! I do not hesitate to give her a PERFECT review! Thank you Katie for making our day so special!
I would highly recommend Holding Life Still Photography for any life highlight or special occasion. Holding Life Still Photography captured some absolutely gorgeous pictures at ou...
r wedding 3 years ago. I have received so many compliments on our photos, and I still frequently look back at the beautiful moments captured. During our experience with Holding Life Still Photography, Katie handled herself with confidence, great professionalism, and it was a pleasure to interact with her while photographing. One of the reasons I love Holding Life Still Photography is their ability to capture special moments in fun and non-traditional ways. I recommend them without reservation, and I am confident that you will be equally pleased with their work.
I could not be more pleased with Katie and Holding Life Still Photography!! Our pictures are INCREDIBLE!!!! Many of my friends and family have seen our pictures online and couldn...
't believe some of the shots that were taken-we get many comments that our pictures look like they were out of a magazine. Katie is professional and gives you tons of options with your pictures. I didn't need to worry about anything on my wedding day when it came to picture time! She had everything under control and all I had to do was sit back and enjoy and let her take over. She is so creative, enthusiastic and easy going. Having our pictures taken was definitely one of the highlights of my day! I would recommend her to anyone. Katie, thank you for making my wedding day so special by taking the time and extra effort to be sure I had pictures and memories that will last a lifetime!
Katie did a fantastic job with our wedding pictures and I get told all the time how beautiful they are! I love that they are unique pictures and she perfectly captured my style and...
my theme for the day! She was incredibly easy going and helped me and my husband stay relaxed during the whole process. I also loved that she was like a ghost, meaning she did not distract at all during the ceremony or other meaningful times, yet she managed to capture everything so well! I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who wants their wedding pictures to be something they will enjoy forever!
Katie & her partner were a PHENOMENAL DUO! Katie (Klumpp) Brock asked me before the wedding what type of shots I was looking for. She and I both went back and forth with some pinte...
rest ideas that we found, and she even came to our wedding with props for those shots! Katie definitely has an eye for great shots, and I loved that she took charge. By the end of the photoshoot (which was outdoors at the beginning of MARCH), Katie had given me her shoes to wear! Now how many photographers will do that?! I was SO impressed with the pictures that we got after the wedding that we used her as our photographer when our 1st son was born. Bottom line--Katie is SUPER fun to work with, her photography speaks for itself, and for pictures that you will always look at for years to come, it is well worth the investment for all the time, love, and expertise that she puts into every detail!
Katie does absolutely brilliant work. I get compliments and requests for who did the photography for our wedding from people all the time. She not only traveled for our big day, ...
but stayed the next to do a "trash the dress" photoshoot from which some of my favorite pictures came from. She edits the photos perfectly and also within a very quick timeframe. Would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to beautifully capture their big day!
Katie was an amazing photographer and produced an amazing product! She was extremely flexible and even came out to our venue prior to the wedding to discuss specific areas for sh...
ots to be taken. She did a great job coming up with creative ways of capturing our day. Our pictures turned out wonderfully and I still look through them frequently because of the wonderful job Katie did capturing one of the most important days of our lives!!!
Katie (Klumpp) Brock is a very talented photographer! The day of our engagement shoot turned out to be one of the coldest, windiest days, and somehow Katie's photos still turned ou...
t beautifully. We were blown away with how awesome the hard cover engagement shoot book turned out. She took the most amazing photos at our May 28th, 2011 outdoor wedding. She came up with creative and original shots that really took advantage of the setting. She and Ryan were great at organizing our family (they were all over the place) when it came time to get them together for photos. And they did all this on a hot, steamy, and very muddy day! She was great to work with personally, and we're so glad she was able to photograph our wedding.
Katie had some of our pictures up on facebook less than 24 hours after the wedding and while was a nice teaser for the family to enjoy until the entire package was completed. We we...
re very pleased with the final product--a great variety of photos of family, friends, the wedding party, details of the day and of course of the groom and I. Katie was easy to work with and let you run the show while adding in her own ideas. Katie wanted to do a good job documenting our special day, but never overstepped her boundaries--meeting our requests from timeline to location etc. Katie and her assistant stayed longer than her contract require which I thought demonstrated her commitment to photographing the entire event. I thought she did a fantastic job and would recommend her to any bride.
I would work with Katie again in a heartbeat! I did not know Katie or Holding Life Still until I began communicating with her about my upcoming wedding. I found her to be creative...
, responsible, timely, efficient, and her prices were very reasonable. She was very flexible even on the day of the wedding when things were running very behind. When we realized we wouldn't have time to do the Groom/Groomsmen AND the Bride/Bridesmaid pictures before the ceremony, she simply came up with a new plan and was able to accomplish all of them without rushing or sacrificing the quality or amount of images taken. Katie was timely and patient, especially when it came to answering my MILLION questions in the weeks prior to the event. I received my pictures earlier than was stated in our contract. Katie is completely committed to the quality of her work and to the happiness of her clients. A year after my event, I asked her to edit a few pictures in a different finish. She was happy to oblige, even a year later! I was also very impressed by Katie's creativity. Not only was Katie open to my suggestions for posing some of the pictures, but she took them to a whole new level and added beautiful poses of her own! She captured the day perfectly and I was amazed at how beautiful the pictures were. I got TONS of compliments from friends and acquaintances when they saw my pictures. Go with Holding Life Still and you will be 100% satisfied!
We couldn't have been more pleased with Katie's services. I was referred to her after the photographer I originally wanted was booked! She was very professional and also flexible...
with what we needed. She did everything she said she would and more! Our pictures were ready quickly and they were so so beautiful! I highly recommend Katie!
One of the most stressful parts about planning our wedding was finding a photographer. We wanted someone to capture moments that we would have for a lifetime. While we were doing o...
ur research, it seemed as if we would have to sacrifice quality in order to meet our price range. Then we found Katie Klumpp. Katie was always willing to go above and beyond to meet our needs. She arrived well in advance the day of the wedding and stayed untill the ending events. That very night 15 to 20 edited pictures were posted online in anticipation of the hundreds that were to come!! When you book Katie Klumpp as your photographer, you will be forever satisfied with her creativity and artistic edge!!!
Let me just start by saying Katie is an amazing photographer. I am more than happy with our wedding and engagement pictures. She is extremely easy going and fun to be around, she m...
ade us laugh and have fun during the entire shoot both days. She was extremely flexible; we had to reschedule the engagement shoot 3 times because of rain. Katie is always quick to reply to any questions, and easily reached when needed. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to meet Katie and would recommend her to anyone. Her pictures are unlike any other photographers that I have seen, and the amount of pictures she took for our wedding was crazy. She did such an amazing job! I am so happy she was our photographer, we have so many awesome pictures to remember our special day!
Katie was absolutely fantastic! She is incredibly talented and her photos are breathtaking. She is also great to work with- she gets to know the couple personally so that she can i...
ndividualize their sessions. For our engagement shoot, she challenged us to think creatively about what we wanted our photos to represent, and she did a great job of capturing our relationship. We kept in contact before the wedding and she always demonstrated that she was organized and in complete control of her responsibilities. About a week before the wedding, she personally reached out to me to ask how I was doing and if there was anything I needed from her before the big day. I really appreciated this gesture- it showed her commitment and thoughtfulness. On our wedding day, she was just what we (and I especially!) needed! I was very impressed with how she handled every part of the day-from joining us in the Bridal Suite and laughing along with us while we got ready (also while taking gorgeous pictures!) to professionally directing our bridal party (a daunting task!) during pictures. She captured every moment beautifully, so well in fact that I felt like I was able to relive it and experience parts of the wedding I didn't see that day. Katie also amazed me with how well she fit right in at our wedding. At no point in time did I feel distracted by a camera or a flash. Overall, Katie was exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. I rightfully trusted her every step of the way and she still left me breathless!!
Katie, thanks for everything! You have no idea how much your help and beautiful talent helped to make our day so special. Please keep an open slot 5 or so years from now for taking family pictures of us one day!! :)
Katie not only showed incredible professionalism and quality of photos, but also made us as a couple feel so comfortable that our pictures came out as naturally as possible. I love...
d that Katie mixed candids with "posed" pictures as well. She also showed extreme patience when posing my large family and several young children. Her editing choices were superb for our liking! They were exactly what I had in mind. She also traveled 8+ hours to shoot our wedding. I recommend having her shoot both engagement and wedding shots.
Holding Life Still Photography was my favorite part of my wedding! Photography at my wedding was most important to me. I wanted to be able to remember all of the wonderful and fu...
n things that happened that day. Katie was relaxed yet to the point. She was great with the massive quantities of family and personable with my party. She has fabulous taste when it comes to angles and subjects and editing. My engagement session was also wonderful. She really took her time with us and made it a perfectly positive memory! Her pictures will be happily on my wall for years and years to come!
5 Stars for Katie. She was professional and helped make our day smooth and special. I treasure each of our wedding photos, 3 and a half years later. People always ask me who did th...
e photos when looking at my wedding scrapbooks. She also did our beautiful engagement pictures. I would definitely recommend Katie to anyone looking for photography services, such as wedding, engagement, newborn, graduation, etc.
I had high expectations for this vendor and all of them were met or exceeded. Our pictures turned out beautifully and captured not only our day, but part of the personalities of ev...
eryone involved. They did an excellent job of coordinating pictures without making them look posed and I received my pictures very quickly after the wedding. Katie and her team are very easy to work with and were very helpful throughout the entire wedding process. I have nothing but the highest praise for Holding Life Still Photography.
