Kathryn Croskey Photography bio picture
  • hello and welcome!

    My blog is a library of stories . . . stories of people, life, and love.  The best part of my job is getting to know my clients and capturing their personalities with my camera.  I love pictures that show genuine emotion or an intimate moment.

    I also love my husband, family & friends, books by Jane Green, wildwood, autumn leaves, the holiday spirit, a good pair of jeans, dancing, old school nintendo, twizzlers, and singing in the car... not necessarily in that particular order.  :)

    That's just a little part of my story.  As you browse through my blog, you'll learn a little more about me and my style of photography.  Maybe one day, I can tell your story!

    Thanks to Onada Photography for my sweet profile pic!

Its Okay, Flyers. We still love you. | Philadelphia Newlywed Photographer

So, I waited to post this for fear I’d jinx the Flyers… and in the end it didn’t matter.

This session was originally supposed to be Matt and Shannon’s engagement session but we couldn’t get into the Wachovia Center in time.  When we had the chance to do it, we went anyway and it was awesome. While we walked around during our private tour, Preston and Steve were filming an episode for Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia.  One of the actors from the show and a west coast producer were there too.  Matt, a fan of both the radio show and the tv show, was obviously thrilled.  These huge flyers fans were loving every minute of their tour.  Thanks so much Katie for the tour.  We had a blast!

Fred and Danielle – Engaged! | Philadelphia Engagement Photographer

Fred and Danielle got engaged in Olde City after a carriage ride.  So, we returned to the scene and even hoped on a carriage ride (a first for me).  It was unusually warm on this spring day, making it a perfect day for an e-sesh.

Christy and Rob’s Wedding | Philadelphia Wedding Photographer

Christy and Rob were all smiles the day of their early spring wedding.  They couldn’t have been happier.  I just loved how they glowed in each others presence.  Congratulations to you both!  Here are a few of my favorite images from their gorgeous wedding day:

Her eyes are stunning!

LOVEd the ice sculpture!:)

Tulips for bouquets… GORGEOUS!  They held up so well, too.

Absolutely BEAMING!  Love it.

Caught in Action! | Philadelphia Proposal Photographer

Tonight my husband Rob and I went to an amazing Phillies game.  But towards the 8th inning, I had no fear they’d win (they were up by 7 runs) and I was getting tired.  Once we decided to take the long walk back to the car, I realized we walked passed our lot.  So we turn around to head back.  We’re just a few feet away from the car when I witnessed a proposal in action!!  As a wedding photographer and a girl, I couldn’t help but squeeze my husband’s hand letting out an “Aww!!”  Then I opened my big mouth and said “Congratulations!”  (Gave me flash backs to our awesome public proposal).  I heard them both laughing as we continue on to our car.

Then it hits me… DUH, Kathryn!!  Get your CAMERA! (Fortunately, I had it with me from a shoot I did this afternoon).  Part of me felt like I was being totally intrusive, but my gut told me she’d appreciate it.  With camera in hand, I ran back to the couple and offered to capture the moment and email them a copy.  The girl, rubbing tears of joy from her eyes, said “I’m a mess!”  I told her “You look great!  Come on!”  Her new fiance is all smiles as he says to me “This is her dream!”  I could only assume he meant having a photog on hand to capture the moment.  Talk about luck!

Not wanting to completely interuppt this intimate moment, I quickly captured two shots, gave them my card, and went on my way.  It happened in the blink of an eye.  I’m not even sure if I remember their names correctly, but Brian and Gina- Congratulations, again, and Best Wishes!
