About Kaitlyn Johnston Photography
Kaitlyn Johnston Photography
I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.
Photography is my essence. Everywhere I go, I see beauty worth capturing, even when others don't. I pride myself on finding stunning scenes and bringing out your unique beauty in every scenario. Whether it's a bustling cityscape or a quiet countryside, I have an eye for details that others might miss. My passion for photography drives me to capture moments that tell a story, revealing the extraordinary in the ordinary. With years of experience, I've honed my skills to not just take pictures, but to create art that resonates and endures. Let me turn your moments into lasting memories.

A joy to work with and photos with heart
I would highly recommend working with Kaitlyn for your weddings and events!! 10/10, across the board. Her photo packages are also worth more than the current prices considering the quality of her work and her professionalism. The pictures turned out beautifully and I'm so glad she was able to capture so many candid shots. On the day of the wedding, Kaitlyn was friendly and made us feel comfortable during photos which was amazing during such a busy day. When I was researching Chicago photographers within our budget, Kaitlyn's prices were roughly in the middle of others we were looking at, but I could tell that Kaitlyn's portfolio was the best. Whimsy and heart with a good variety of photo type, framing, play with lighting, and a mix of candid and posed shots. I appreciated her responsiveness and detail in answering my emails. Even before meeting in person, I noticed Kaitlyn's professionalism through her website and emails. Her website and photo portal are also easy to navigate. It's clear she's put time and effort into her business and capturing so many special days. Would highly recommend working with her, we are so glad we did 3
The best!!!!
We’ve known Kaitlyn for a while and were so honored to have her capture our wedding events! She was there for the proposal, engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding day! Kaitlyn is so fun to be around and so incredibly talented! We really appreciated her “fly on the wall” approach so we could just enjoy ourselves and live in the moment without having to worry about posing. Looking forward to having her capture many more of our milestones in the future :)
Phenomenal Photographer!
My husband and I can't recommend Kaitlyn enough. From the booking process, our engagement shoot, through the wedding itself Kaitlyn was thoughtful, professional, and attentive to our preferences and requests. She even drove 3 hours to do our engagement shoot in Wisconsin and was able to film our ceremony on her own! Her sneak peek the next day made us so so happy, and she got every photo on our list, including some out of order or spontaneous based on how the day went. We couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn's services! Rachel & Alex
Captured Our Day Flawlessly!
Kaitlyn truly exceeded all expectations for our wedding photography! We had a dual ceremony followed by a reception, requiring about 14 hours of coverage—a significant task. But from the moment she arrived, Kaitlyn's bright, bubbly personality lit up the room, and she was punctual and prepared. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she effortlessly guided us through the day, ensuring we stayed on schedule while capturing every special moment. What really stood out was how comfortable she made us feel—despite only communicating via email and phone prior to the wedding, Kaitlyn immediately felt like a longtime friend. Her professionalism, expertise, and passion for photography deserve five stars each! She even shared some raw shots with us throughout the day, and we were blown away by how stunning they already looked. I cannot wait to see the final photos and am confident they’ll be absolutely beautiful. Kaitlyn is an absolute gem, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer. We’ll definitely be reaching out for all future photography needs! Thank you so much, Kaitlyn!!
