Kathryn Hyslop Photography

ful with posing, made everyone feel comfortable (especially those not used to being in front of a camera), and kept everything running smoothly with great timing and flow. She brought a calm, reassuring presence that truly made the day easier and more enjoyable. Her assistant was also fantastic and a great support. We would highly recommend her to any couple looking for both beautiful photos and an amazing experience.

es that we will cherish forever. We couldn’t recommend Katie more to capture your special day! 

ful, professional and efficient, but cheery and so fun. She captured all the moments we wanted — which wasn’t easy considering we had large families, lots of little nieces and nephews, and our dog in the mix! I am also someone that usually freezes in front of a camera, and was nervous about looking awkward in our photos, but Katie immediately put me at ease. Our photos look very natural and candid, which is exactly what we wanted. I can’t recommend her enough!

y, 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 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!

nd caught the best candid photos that really immortalized special little moments that many photographers would miss. Plus she takes a LOT of photos - you will not be disappointed wishing you had more! One thing that really impressed me was Katie's organization. She had a phone call with us well before the wedding and helped me create a timeline for the day - something every vendor is going to ask you for and which I had no idea how to do. I feel like her guidance went above and beyond a photographer and even into the realm of planner. She also went over family trees with us and to clarify what pictures we wanted with who, so after the ceremony was over we could get the formal portraits done as quickly as possible so we could move on to the photos of just the two of us as well as get to the reception! Katie is also very receptive and all about us being happy and enjoying our big day. We got married on one of the hottest days of the year, so when my husband was absolutely over it taking pictures outside in a full tux, she recognized it right away and whisked us into the reception hall for some air conditioning and quiet time alone just the two of us. Katie has a way of just making you feel comfortable on a day when there are cameras on you nonstop for a whole day. She encourages you, praises silliness, and overall just makes you feel like a gorgeous model who can do no wrong. I literally told my husband that night that I wish we lived closer because she is someone I would want to be friends with after the wedding! If you are still deciding on a photographer, PLEASE shoot Katie an email and schedule a phone call with her. After seeing her photos (available on her website!) and talking to her, you'll realize that you have a true pro on your side (and one less vendor to find)! Thank you for everything, Katie!!

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!

sm she brought (as well as her understanding of the vibe we had communicated to her) was worth every penny. Our photos turned out beautifully, and we were so surprised that our "sneak peek" album was available to view the very next morning. We enthusiastically recommend her services!

e stunning photos that truly reflected the essence of our special day. Katie made us feel completely at ease, and the results were nothing short of magical.

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 easy in front of the camera. And on our wedding day, she was ON it, helping to organize family shots, and made sure the day when smoothly. And on top of that, she 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!

e is organized and knows the city well. We loved our engagement session in the snow a few months prior. We cannot say enough about her advice during the planning stages and how she helped us navigate the wedding day itself. Thank you Katie!

yment schedule was clearly communicated and reasonable. Leading up to the wedding, she worked with me to develop a timeline for the ENTIRE day, and talked through my crazy family photo requests (even though that part of the day ended up being very different day of - she adjusted perfectly!). She captured us, our family, and our friends perfectly. The posed photos are amazing, the candids from the reception are the BEST. Even the detail shots really show the essence of our day. She matched our vibe, and you can really see the fun through the pictures. Day of, she or her 2nd shooter were everywhere, getting all of the best shots, but also somehow right next to me when I had a specific request! I could not recommend her more - her and her 2nd shooter were worth every single penny!!!!!

was even willing to try out new things to get the perfect shot including climbing up a fire escape with us. Her creativity and positive energy made us very comfortable during our engagement session and on our wedding day. She sets a high bar for wedding photographers! Beyond the photos, Katie saved our day when our cake never arrived. She was calm and made the cake that they located for us look perfect. She went above and beyond for us on our day. I cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Katie!

Center where we had our ceremony and reception. She made us feel at ease right from the get go. We appreciated seeing all the areas we would photograph ahead of time. She was so organized and was able to capture so many moments and shots in a timely manner - and made sure we stayed on time. In addition, she worked so well with our videographer. We are over the moon with our photos and will cherish these moments she so vividly captured. I highly recommend Katie and want her to continue to capture our special moments in the future.

came up with THREE back up options right on the spot and honestly it was 10x better than our original plan! Katie made us feel relaxed the entire day while somehow also keeping us right on time. We received an amazing sneak peek photo reel on Instagram the NEXT DAY and then received our entire wedding album in about 3 weeks. The photos are absolutely stunning. I am so thankful we chose Katie as our wedding photographer!!!

deliver and also added an engagement session. WOW. Not only did Katie help us pick out our locations for the engagement shoot so it felt most like us and perfectly captured our dog when she made her guest appearance, but she also NAILED IT when it started to rain. We did reschedule the rest of the shoot so we could still get the shots we wanted, but then Katie pulled out umbrellas and asked if we wanted to try some rain shots since we were already soaked. Those photos are not only our favorites but they made us look like movie stars! Needless to say we had no concerns when it came to the wedding photos. Katie scouted out the venue and came back with ideas for shots that we would have never thought about and of course, they are some of my favorite photos from the day! Katie is also so fun to be around and is a pro when it comes to handling your timeline day of and keeping family photos moving. I can not stress enough how thankful we are that Katie was recommended to us! The photos are better than we could have ever dreamed of and we used them for our save the dates, thank you notes, and can't wait to hand some around our house.

leading up to our special day for questions or suggestions. And, she turned around our photos 3 weeks ahead of schedule. My wife and I couldn’t be more satisfied with how wonderful our pictures came out! Absolutely book Katie; it was one of the best decisions we made.

l who will put you at ease right away. Gorgeous shots you love are never guaranteed in this line of business, but Katie is as close as you can get to that. Katie is generous with her time, patient with her clients, and willing to work with your preferences. If you are looking for a laughter-filled time yet productive shoot, go with Katie. You will have a blast.

family tell me the photos look like I was Kate Middleton (a literal princess) because of the awesome job Katie did. She was excellent throughout the planning process as well and made sure we were able to get photos with all our families as well as VIP guests we had flagged in advance. Even the people at Heinz Chapel said she was a star photographer and they were so right! We absolutely love our photos and enthusiastically recommend Katie to brides and grooms out there looking for jaw-dropping editorial and candid shots! Hire Katie and know you will get awesome photos.

o; sure, the posed formal shots are great, but we really wanted those authentic moments, and she gave us exactly what we hoped for. After much thought, we opted to not hire a videographer, but Katie's work proved that we had nothing to regret. You can practically feel the emotions in every photo, and track every phase of the day from start to finish. Katie was also just incredibly efficient with our time. She told everyone exactly where to be and suggested every pose for my husband and I. She and her assistant captured every single moment, and yet I didn't even catch a glimpse of them during the ceremony or reception; they're just simply great at what they do! We cannot wait to decorate our home with the art that she has provided us, and I could not recommend her more.

session about a year before our wedding date which I highly recommend. It was a great opportunity for us to practice and get to know each other. On our wedding day, Katie and her second shooter, Christine, were early and helped keep us on schedule all day long. Katie is not only incredibly talented: she is genuinely fun to be around. We laughed so many times throughout the day, which resulted in genuine emotion in our photos. When a surprise rain shower popped up after our ceremony, Katie encouraged us to get some shots in the rain. I am so glad we did. Also, Katie’s work truly speaks for itself. She can produce images that are light and airy OR bold and dramatic, where some photographers tend towards one or the other. I highly recommend Katie! We will treasure our photos forever.

mmunicative, and extremely detail oriented. She was so much fun to work with and talented beyond words! I could not recommend Katie enough!

d providing her crucial input. She did great making us feel comfortable during the direct photos and we loved the results! We couldn't be happier with her services and would recommend her to anyone.

ith, has the most creative ideas (she made dry wall look like an art installation in our photos!), and knows exactly what to do and when. Our day would not have gone so smoothly without her. Don’t hesitate to book with her! I cannot recommend her enough.

ing day. We got tons of beautiful wedding photos throughout the day and never felt that we were pulled out of the celebration/moment. She was incredible to work with. I cannot recommend her enough. Best photographer in Pittsburgh!

her to photograph our engagement and wedding. When our wedding was canceled at the beginning of the pandemic and we decided to elope anyways, Katie not only photographed it, but found ways to still make it feel special - even allowing us to pop champagne in her studio afterwards. A year later when we finally got our dream wedding reception, Katie again turned out beautiful photos of us finally celebrating with our friends and family. I can’t imagine using any other photographer. She is not only amazingly talented, but also knows all the best Pittsburgh spots and best photo ops at all the wedding venues!

st meeting to our wedding day, she was on top of every detail. We never had to ask twice or worry that anything would be missed. Her professionalism and organization made us (and all of our guests) feel completely at ease. And she's incredibly talented... Katie understands lighting and has a creative flair that is totally unique. We've received our photos this week and our family and friends are so impressed with the results. Yes, Katie is the one you want to photograph your event!

st, while balancing the professionalism and classic elements you'll want on your wedding day. When we hired Katie for our engagement and wedding photos, we knew we had one big worry off our minds - we had the best and could trust her to capture our day authentically. She will make you feel so comfortable while truly capturing who you are as a couple. Each of our wedding photos captures a beautiful moment and tells our story in a way we can't stop revisting! I can't recommend Katie enough. Not only will you want to work with her over and over - you'll want to be her friend, too. And that's the kind of vendor you want at your wedding!

thought off which led to BEAUTIFUL PICTURES. We were blown away with the quality of photos she captured. We had many request asking who our photographer was and we are glad to share Katie's name with them. We highly recommend hiring her to capture your wedding or other event!

capture every detail. She kept everyone organized by letting us know how to pose, who needs to be in the pictures, where to look to capture great pictures, and so much more. Her editing skills are amazing as well. Over all such a great experience with her, and I absolutely would recommend her to anyone!

d us incredible pictures for our entire wedding day as well as our engagement session. Katie was so easy to work with throughout the entire process. She is very responsive with all communication and organized. Katie put us at ease throughout our entire wedding day to relax amongst all of the running around and to get great pictures. We have so many favorite pictures to choose from in our wedding album, She captured our day perfectly and captured such great memories that we will be able to keep forever!

that many photographers willing to share the full delievered wedding galleries with you but she had so many great ones! Her work is just the perfect mix of genuine, candied monments and jaw dropping perfection. And the processing of working with Katie was absolutely wonderful too! She was very responsive and flexible during the planning process. And on the wedding day, she showed up early and didn't leave till she got all the "important shots". She was so calm, efficient and very kind to our guest and the wedding party. With her on our wedding day really put us on ease... We got to enjoy our day even more knowing we'll have great pictures no matter what!

out. We also love how user friendly her gallery is. She is also very personable, our entire wedding party enjoyed working with her. Highly recommend working with Katie!

eye for it that Katie does. Some people could take a picture of the Omni-William Pen (for example) and the photo would look like it was taken in a firehall. Katie can take a picture of a firehall, and it comes out looking like the Omni-William Penn.. She is a 10/10 choice as a wedding photographer (or professional photographer, or pretty much whatever you might need). She has been the photographer for multiple of my friend's weddings and she is stellar!

day. From the engagement photos to the wedding day, she made us feel so at ease and provided us with helpful advice throughout a very stressful wedding planning experience. Not only does she take beautiful photos, but she’s so fun to work with! She will make you laugh and bring out the best of you and your significant other’s relationship through her photos. She cares about the couples she works with and her photos are proof of that!

ak for themselves. Not only is her work impeccable, but she was wonderful to work with every step of the way. From inquiring about the booking process and what was all included in our packages, to assisting in outfit choices, and working with me every step of the way to ensure my vision came to life, she went above and beyond what I ever imagined. She made us genuinely laugh and smile throughout the whole session and captured our love perfectly! I am thrilled with how our photos turned out - I truly couldn't be happier that we choose Katie.

eat eye for beautiful pictures. Trust me, she knows what looks good and what doesn't. Katie also goes out of her way to be the unofficial "day of coordinator" to make sure your day goes as planned. She was super helpful when we had to postpone our big wedding day due to COVID and still captured our small wedding this year. I look forward to more pictures from her in the future. Honestly book her now before she's all booked up.

due to COVID but Katie was there for everything. She really is the best ever!

mily and friends. She is very efficient in setting up the shots. We were able to enjoy our day since we knew Katie was capturing all the moments.

.) She made sure the day ran smoothly. Even when we were behind schedule, she kept everyone moving and got the best shots! We just recently got our photos back, and they are AMAZING! Every picture is better than the last. I'm not sure how we're going to pick our favorites. Also have to give props to her second photographer! She was so nice and grabbed us appetizers when we were too busy taking photos to get our own.

beautiful!! Katie is so creative, easy going and very professional. I endorse her 100%!

agged along with us for the 5 days and documented our entire journey. Katie made us feel extremely comfortable while she was taking our pictures and it wasn't awkward at all. I'm one of those people who don't like PDA so I was impressed she could get me out of my comfort zone! Although she listened to our photo requests, we didn't have to continue to come up with ideas for a "good shot". Katie had a million great ideas of what the perfect picture looks like and our wedding album shows that. We continue to get told that we had the most beautiful wedding photos that anyone had ever seen. Throughout the entire trip, Katie was easy going, prompt and randomly helpful. I say randomly because she would just appear out of nowhere like a Fairy Godmother helping in any way she could. It was obvious she has a lot of experience with weddings because she had so many tips and tricks that I don't know what we would've done without her. I recommend her any chance I can. If I could give Katie a 10, I would! You won't be disappointed with her professionalism or her photos.

hatever your looking to have done. Such a pleasure to work with. I highly reccommend her :)

precious moments, the silly, romantic and heartwarming ones as well.
