I'm a documentary style wedding photographer who feels truly blessed to capture the love stories of couples on their special day. As a mom of two amazing kids and a happy wife, family is everything to me. It brings so much joy to balance my creative passion with the love and laughter of my home - while capturing the start of your family through marriage.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me lacing up my running shoes, off on an adventure with my family, or lost in a good book—three things that keep me grounded and energized. Life has blessed me beyond measure, and I’m grateful for every moment.
FAITH serves as my quiet anchor and the foundation that my approach to photography is built, especially when it comes to capturing the sacred moments between couples and weddings. My faith shapes not only the way I see the world, but also how I engage with the beautiful love stories that unfold before me.
In my work, I believe that every wedding is a reflection of a deeper covenant, a love between two people that mirrors the love of Christ. This perspective allows me to approach each wedding with reverence, recognizing the significance of the commitment being made and the joy that radiates from that sacred bond.
Faith in Christ fills me with a sense of purpose and gratitude as I capture the authentic, raw moments between you. It encourages me to see beyond the surface, focusing on the meaningful connections, gestures, and expressions that truly tell the story of a couple’s journey together. I am constantly reminded that love is a gift from God, and I approach each photo with the intention to honor that gift—to preserve it in a way that reflects the grace, beauty, and sacredness of the moment for that couple.
CONNECTION is at the heart of my craft. Photography is not just about taking a picture—it’s about building relationships. I want to form a bond that transcends the camera. This deep connection allows me to capture authentic moments that reflect the true spirit of the couples I photograph, infusing my work with a sense of humanity and depth.
At your wedding connection is crucial. A photographer who has a deep connection with the couple will be able to anticipate the moments that matter most, from a glance between the bride and groom to the laughter shared during the reception. This emotional connection allows the photographer to see beyond the posed moments and capture the raw, authentic emotions that define the event—moments that are often fleeting but timeless once captured.
Moreover, connection is what turns a photograph into a story. The best photographs are often those where the subject feels seen, heard, and valued by the photographer. It’s in these moments of connection that the camera becomes an extension of the photographer’s ability to witness and preserve the beauty of relationships.
Ultimately, connection is what elevates photography from simple documentation to an art form that speaks to the heart. It allows the photographer to capture the essence of the people and moments that matter most.
AUTHENTICITY drives me to stay true to the realness of each moment, resisting the temptation to create something artificial. I believe that the most compelling images are those that reflect genuine emotion and the raw beauty of life.
CREATIVITY is my constant companion, inspiring me to explore and innovate. It empowers me to look at the world differently, to experiment with light, composition, and form, and to push beyond the conventional.
LOVE is the emotional thread that ties all of my work together. I approach each project with a heart full of passion for the art and for the stories I am privileged to tell. Love for the people I photograph, for the world I am capturing, and for the craft itself infuses every image with warmth and meaning. It is through this love that my photographs resonate, transcending mere documentation to become something deeply felt.
INTEGRITY is my guiding principle. In every interaction and in every image, I strive to be honest, transparent, and true to my values. Integrity ensures that I hold myself to the highest standards, delivering work that reflects both my personal ethics and my commitment to my clients. It creates trust and establishes a lasting bond between myself and those I work with.

Words cannot describe how happy and grateful we are of our experience with Katie! She definitely went above and beyond in capturing the most precious moments. Our jaws dropped as soon as we saw the sneak peak - which we got so quick by the way (huge plus since I know most of us cannot wait to see our photos). We could not believe how PERFECT they were and were just in awe of her work. "
"She is amazing! I can't believe how amazing they came out! I won't lie I was feeling nervous about our outfit choices, but she made them really shine! I truly love them. Her work is gorgeous!"
"I've worked with a handful of San Antonio area photographers, but Katherine Johnson Photography was a whole new level! From our first contact, Katie was energetic and helpful. She gave wonderful wardrobe advice and asked what my favorite songs are, and she came prepared with them on her speaker. I thought that was so clever! She was so patient and creative! Katie is truly such a sweet lady and made my family feel comfortable the entire time. And the icing on the cake is the beautiful gallery she (quickly!) delivered... cozy, warm photos that we will cherish for years and years"
