Hands down, Kaitlin Powell is the #1 photographer for weddings, engagement pictures, small mini sessions, you name it! Anything you need captured she will do that and more. We had Kaitlin do both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, which I highly recommend so she can get to know you to better to capture not just photos, but the entire mood and you as a person. I didn’t hire a videographer for our wedding and a large part of that was because when you have a photographer like Kaitlin every photo she captures from a portrait to a candid is real and raw emotion full of life. I say this next part so truthfully that Kaitlin became more than just our photographer, she was my shoulder I leaned on for advice with planning, she gave insight, she was a true support system through everything, and I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her, especially as a COVID effected Bride. I have already told I Kaitlin I want her to capture sessions for us in the future as well of our relationship and family as it continues to grow. I recommend her not just for weddings or engagements or mini sessions, but I recommend her for life because we will continue to have her a part of ours. Love you, Kaitlin, and thank you again for everything you did for us, and everything that you are! You are the best!

Kaitlin is an outstanding photographer, and my husband and I couldn't be more thrilled with our engagement and wedding photos! As a couple not used to being in front of the camera, Kaitlin quickly and effortlessly made us feel comfortable and happy during our engagement session. We had FUN and it showed in the photos! As a COVID wedding couple, Kaitlin was also kind and flexible in rolling with the punches as our plans changed frequently because of the pandemic. She was always supportive and helpful, making suggestions based on her extensive knowledge of the Pittsburgh wedding scene. On the day of my wedding, Kaitlin was a breath of fresh air! She was prepared, thoughtful, positive, funny, and generous. We didn't have a wedding reception because of COVID, and she even offered to pick up our Mineo's pizza so we would have dinner! In addition to her professionalism and wonderful personality traits, our pictures are STUNNING! Our wedding day was a cold, rainy November day in Pittsburgh, and Kaitlin still knocked it out of the park with our photos. They are timeless and classic, yet modern and fun, and really capture our personalities. I cannot believe I have these beautiful images to treasure forever, and that I'll hopefully someday be able to show them to my children. I can't recommend Kaitlin enough!

If there is one vendor that you need on your wedding team, it's Kaitlin Powell. I'll start by saying, I. Hate. Pictures. I hate getting my picture taken, I've never felt thrilled with pictures of myself and always felt like the least photogenic person in the world. I was anxious about the idea of investing in photography assuming that I'd probably not like the photos anyways. Kaitlin completely changed my views and self esteem. She has some sort of magical powers to make you feel completely comfortable and confident and takes THE BEST PICTURES EVER. My husband typically looks like a goon in pictures because he loses interest and starts making bizarre faces, but Kaitlin managed to keep him engaged (pun intended) and I literally could not be more pleased with our photos. Besides the fact that she's a total photo boss and immensely talented, she's also the NICEST and MOST ACCOMMODATING person you'll meet. We actually ended up eloping (thanks COVID) and gave her about three days notice, and of course she put us at ease and delivered on our big day. I think there's a lot of great photographers in this city, but one thing you can't buy is a genuinely kind, compassionate and responsive person which is what you really need for your wedding. By the end of your photo session, you'll want to call her a friend and that'something that is priceless. I'm already looking forward to booking with her again for anniversary pics and future family sessions. Don't think twice- book Kaitlin now and you won't regret it!

Where do I even start with Kaitlin as our wedding photographer?! She is hands down the best wedding photographer you can ever have for your wedding. Mike and I are so happy we found her on Instagram! We had the best time with her at our engagement session, especially with how awkward Mike and I can get getting our pictures taken. She was so patient with us and her bubbly sweet personality make it even easier and fun! When it came to our wedding, she was so understanding on the constant change of plans because of COVID and was always there for me when I needed to vent and run ideas by her. We ended up having a small ceremony and she went above and beyond as a photographer that day. I don't think our wedding could have gone so smoothly without her. She's honestly the best!!
Mora & IAn
My husband and I both picked Kaitlin Powell as our first choice for wedding photographers because her photos have such a great balance between modern/moody editing and really natural, relaxed, and romantic poses. We also loved the diversity and inclusivity we noticed in her work which made us feel great about hiring her. Kaitlin has an incredible knack for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and getting you to relax and enjoy the process. I really didn’t think we needed engagement photos, but we ended up loving ours, and our wedding photos are even better! She captured all of our joy and excitement on the day in spontaneous and beautiful photos that we will treasure for years to come.

Where to begin? From the moment we met, Kaitlin was welcoming, friendly, and extremely helpful with everything related to wedding photography. Neither my husband nor I are aspiring Instagram models or super comfortable in front of a camera, but Kaitlin helped us to not feel awkward or uncomfortable (and we actually loved taking pictures!). Kaitlin went above and beyond to capture the most amazing pictures, in addition to just being an amazing asset to our wedding team. She even helped to arrange a last minute bouquet when our florist mistakenly thought our wedding was on the following day! Her experience is invaluable and her charisma and personality are infectious and inviting. Do yourself a favor and book her ASAP! She’s simply the best! <3

Kaitlin’s work is AMAZING! She has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She did exactly that with my husband and I during our engagement session and then again on our wedding day! She captured the entire day perfectly and with such attention to detail. We LOVE our photos so much and will cherish them forever. I would also like to emphasize that not only does Kaitlin capture the day perfectly, she truly is there for her clients every step of the way. She went above and beyond for our wedding and played a HUGE role in keeping our wedding day running smoothly. She helped us plan (and re-plan), created a timeline of the day and ensured we stayed to that timeline all while capturing each and every moment. Planning a wedding during a pandemic was not easy but Kaitlin was always there to offer a listening ear and to offer words of encouragement. If we had to do it all over again we would without a doubt book Kaitlin Powell Photography!

Kaitlin is the BEST! Honestly, hiring Kaitlin was one of the best decisions that we made while planning for our wedding. My husband and I have always felt awkward in front of the camera (we legit only had 10-15 photos of the two of us together in 4+ years), so when we were talking to photographers, it was important to us that we find someone who put us at ease. Kaitlin is that person. From the beginning of our engagement session (I HIGHLY recommend having engagement photos done, especially if you're not used to being photographed), Kaitlin had us laughing and relaxed, and the photos were AMAZING! As the wedding approached, Kaitlin tossed out different ideas for photo ops - including some awesome colored smoke bomb shots - and her excitement and love for her craft really shone through. Kaitlin is a blast to work with, her photos are incredible, and I will ALWAYS recommend her to everyone I know!
Kara & Paul
I knew several years before getting married that I wanted Kaitlin to be my photographer! Her work is amazing and I love that she aims to capture the unique love and relationship each couple has. I wanted our photos to truly reflect us and the special moments of our wedding day and she did just that! Looking through our photos is like being transported back in time. Communication is so important when it comes to working with wedding vendors and she answered every question I had quickly! She was incredibly professional the day of, and I had some unruly groomsmen but she handled them like a pro! She is worth every penny and as a bonus she’s a joy to be around and will keep you laughing all night! Highly, highly recommend!
