Celebrating ALL couples and their Heartwarming, Quirky, and Iconic moments
Photography is the art of catching a breath of time — stealing a single second from the world and holding the feeling woven inside it. Like the way poetry turns emotion into thought and thought into ink on a page — lingering long after the moment has passed…
you’ve dreamt about it…
you’ve waited for it…
you’ve found the love of your life…
And now it’s finally
time!
You’ve been dreaming of this moment your whole life! Your wedding day is more than just a day, it’s the tale of your love brought to life!
As your wedding photographer I want to be sure to document your day in a way that represents YOU. This is YOUR tale, YOUR vision, YOUR day!
I’ll be your Portrait Alchemist capturing all of your heartwarming and quirky moments that makes you and your relationship yours, all while insuring a stress-free experience where you can be yourself and soak up the day.

Wedding & Pet Photographer
Hi, my name is
Katie McCullough
Portrait Alchemist
I believe in capturing what matters most to you in a way that’s stress-free and authentic
“Photography is an austere and blazing poetry of the real”
Pet Photography
Outside of weddings I also specialize in Pet Portraits! My main goal is a stress-free session that will leave you with lasting images that bring a smile every time you see them, be it in a frame on your desk or hung up on the family portrait wall. I love being apart of telling your pets story and creating an image as worthy as them for the family album.
What I Offer:
I. Studio Sessions
These Sessions can be done at my studio or I have also a mobile set up available as well. Studio sessions are great for the more nervous dog or shy kitty who may need some extra reassurance and comfort.
(I also do events, though these are better for the more social pet.)
II. Location Sessions
Outdoor shoots are great for the adventurous spirit ! They capture your pets natural charm and personality and give a variety of scenic options all in one session!
III. Giving Back
As an avid animal lover, I make it my mission to give back when I can. Every session with me helps my efforts to photograph more shelter and rescue animals to help them find loving homes!
Testimonial
“I would recommend Poetic Crow Photography 100 out of 100 times. She did our engagement photos and they are STUNNING. Like, immediately put them in a scrapbook and show the whole family stunning. She provided so much direction and she was so helpful which was awesome because my fiancé and I have literally never had professional pictures taken and we had no idea what we were doing. To say I was nervous would be an understatement. But Katie was so chill and made sure that we were super comfortable and she checked in with us. Even after the pictures were done, she continuously checked in to make sure that they were what we wanted and that we were happy with them. And we are BEYOND happy. We are OBSESSED and will be using her for every major life event that we can!”

“Katie has done three sets of pictures for me; graduation, engagement, and Boudoir shoot. I felt beautiful in all of the pictures. Luckily she had coached me all the way through. She’s great at capturing the moment! I felt so relaxed while we were together couldn’t ask for a better experience!”

“Katie did a 20 week pregnancy shoot for me. She came well-prepared, and her equipment is top notch. I was really impressed with her set up. Her images came back extremely high quality, and her lighting was wonderful. I can’t wait for her to do my full maternity shoot and baby pictures.”

“Had her do our store event. Was very friendly and even helped with the event guest. Was very personable and put passion in to helping each guest get the shots they want. Would hire again for future events.”

“Katie is an amazing talent, a true professional, and a sweetheart. She captured the best memories of our wedding day. We hired her at the last minute when we realized we’d need a second shooter to cover the first part of our wedding day and to tag team with our “main” photographer up through the first part of the reception. She captured the most beautiful detail shots, candids, and even captured some moments we didn’t think to put on our shot list. She was quick and nimble, discreetly adjusting my dress or decor as needed to make sure the photos were good. Her communication was clear, timely, and direct whether via text, phone, or email. The photo gallery she gave us was easy to both share and navigate, and she edited our photos to perfection. Though we had 2 photographers, we only share Katie’s with friends and family and on social media. When she left for the evening, we and the bridesmaids were sad! I wished we’d hired Poetic Crow solely and for the entire event. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“They are definitely going to be our go to photographer from now on. Me and my wife had her do our wedding at Jilberts Winery in Valley City, Ohio (Awesome Venue btw) and she captured the beautiful moments perfectly. We even had her do our family Christmas photos with our pets and she somehow managed to get all of our cats to sit still for the shots. 10/10, will hire again.”

“My spouse and I had an amazing experience with Katie! Booking experience was easy. She is accommodating, patient, prompt and informative! At our session in Valley falls we faced some unfroseeable factors which interfered with our ceremony site. But Katie was quick to find a solution! she found the best spot to do our wedding ceremony and captured our special moment so beautifully! She captured lovely candid moments and also gave great direction with poses. Katie's ideas, attention to detail and use of perspective are on point and it shows! 🙌👏 As a married couple we felt seen, heard, comfortable and had so much fun! Experiencing a photoshoot session with Poetic Crow Photography was a joy and I know we will be booking with her in the future!”

“Katie was absolutely amazing!!! By far the best decision we could have made. She captured the best moments of our wedding and created forever memories! Her unique eye and magnificent attention to detail are unmatched. I wish I could give her 10/10 starts!! You won’t be sorry! Our wedding was June 20, 2025 in Pittsburgh. She was an amazing wedding photographer at our wedding at Rivers Casino.”
