Kaitlyn made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day in Cuba. 'Comfortable’ because we knew that she would not only get the job done (punctual, professional, great quality, etc.) but comfortable in the sense that we was working with true artists. We felt at such peace working with her prior to our big day because she walked us through everything step-by-step and we felt freedom because she wanted what we wanted. I feel like it is rare today to find professionals with true heart and talent behind every inch of their work. Kaitlyn is amazing to work with. She captured every beautiful moment of our day and turned our photos into masterpieces that we will cherish forever. I’ll never go anywhere else after experiencing what she can do!!!!

WOW!! Jessica! Thank you for starters! Cuba was the most difficult, challenging and fantastic place to travel to! My team and I learned so much. We had such an amazing few days with you and your loved ones and then taking you and Jailen out for your own private tour to some locations in the local area. To this day these are still my favourite images!! They are to die for! Your comfort levels were through the roof and you guys being your sexy, loving, natural selves is what made photographing you and traveling and having fun in these places possible! I am so thankful you purchased wall art for your home and thank you cards with pictures on them for your family and friends to see and have yet another memory of you both! Thanks for believing in us, loving us and loving my work! You help make small business like myself love so passionately at what we do! Thank you so much for the kind words!

Such a great experience!
Kaitlyn was a wonderful photographer, who made sure that my husband and I had a great time. Plans changed and she was willing to try to help meet the needs at a later date. She was a great resource for us since she helped make the day go by without a hitch. When I suggested to her that I thought it would be fun to have a snowball fight, she was more than willing to help us make that happen. Plus she couldn't have picked a more special spot for us to tie the knot.

Megan!
You guys where so fun and corky! Sean and I loved laughing with you guys and having a snowball fight, nothing like being a little kid to keep the passion of love going. It was amazing and crazy how the time crunch worked out with getting a minister last minute. Two Jack Lake was amazing spot with the wide range of mountain view! I am happy you and Darien came out to Banff for this special day. It was your first time in the mountains and it makes me so happy you reached out all the way from the USA! I hope to see you guys in the near future!!
Best of luck with the new house, and the British Columbia air

Banff Engagement Photos
Kaitlyn from Owl Eye Photography was both professional and personable during our engagement in Banff. We had doubts initially when booking from Germany, but were put at ease within minutes of meeting her. She was very responsive and helpful with planning beforehand and spontaneous during the photos (dance party in the lake, capturing the rain and mist at just the right moment, and outfit changes to capture color contrasts in our background). Every family member and friend has commented on the quality and details she captured in every photo. Kaitlyn pricing was very competitive and she worked with us regarding payments as this was a destination engagement. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, photos, or person in Kaitlyn.

An amazing experience
I hired Kaitlyn to capture our proposal and engagement photos and I cannot say enough great things about this experience. Kaitlyn was extremely flexible and helpful with ideas, making my proposal beyond amazing and special. Afterwards, me and my fiancée had so much fun with our engagement photos as Kaitlyn made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out and how easily she was able to capture our emotions on camera. We will remember this moment for the rest of our lives and would recommend Kaitlyn to photograph any sort of special moment to anyone and everyone.

Sean Murphy
Second Shooter / Assistant
Hey I'm Sean and I was born in New Brunswick; however, spent my younger years learning and growing up in beautiful British Columbia. I graduated from BCIT with a diploma in Marketing Management (professional sales option) and went on to sell products and services for the industrial sector.
Eventually my career path led to relocating in Alberta where I fell in love with the mountains and decided to make it home. Inspired by my surroundings, I began to focus my time on wildlife photography which led me to meet new people and open the doors for new opportunity.
After connecting with Kaitlyn Hoover (Owl Eye Photography) I finally had the mentorship needed to achieve these goals; with new skills, and positive leadership I quickly went from an assistant to lead photographer in no time.
Currently, I am the owner of Murchadh Marketing which provides online solutions for small businesses looking to improve their SEO and overall digital presence. Continually working on my photography skills, I look forward to future opportunities, as well as the challenges that come along with them.
