Katarina F. Getting married on 29/09/2023The most spectacular engagement shoot
The women at Owl Photography, Kaitlyn and Jas, are absolutely phenomenal at what they do. From initial consultation to the day of shoot and follow up with our engagement gallery, Kaitlyn has been not just an excellent creator, but a friend.
She helped make our dreams of a mountain and lake photoshoot a beautiful reality. Her communication for all logistics, planning and questions was impeccable, she is beyond friendly and passionate about what she does.
During our session, we hiked up Lake Moraine and finished with a canoe and in water photos, despite how cold the glacier water was, she was fully committed to creating our dream. Kaitlyn was an absolute pleasure to create with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking, to say she is an expert in her trade would simply not be enough. Thank you Kaitlyn for your passion, creativity and now friendship. You made our dreams come true.Owl Eye Photography's reply:
Kat, it's been almost a whole year since we did this magical session with you and I love how much we talk since that time over IG. You have become a friend in a way where I am always thinking of how you and Paul are doing with your travels and life.
We share so much of the same passions and it is amazing to have you be interested in the photography world and be someone you can also have to help get you going with your creativity as well! Thank you for sharing the love you and Paul have, that passion is fire and this session is still to this day my favourite !!-

Milton T. Married on 21/12/2022From the Heart: Kai's Unmatched Care and Dedication in Capturing Our Wedding Day
From the moment we first met Kai, we were struck by her warmth, her attention to detail, and her clear passion for her craft. Throughout the planning process, she was always available to answer our questions and offer helpful advice, and she took the time to get to know us as a couple, which really helped her understand our vision for the day.
Despite the challenging weather conditions on your wedding day, Kai (and Cam, second shooter and Kai’s partner - fantastic person, if you have the chance hire him as well) were absolute troopers. With temperatures reaching as low as -40 degrees Celsius, it was not an easy day for anyone involved. But even in the face of such adversity, they remained upbeat, proactive, and completely unfazed.
On the day of the wedding, Kai was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly organized and professional, but also relaxed and easygoing, which put us both at ease and made the whole experience so much more enjoyable. She managed to capture all of the important moments of the day without ever feeling intrusive or disruptive, and she was always on hand to offer guidance and direction when needed.
And when we received the final photos, we were absolutely blown away. Kai had managed to capture the essence of the day so perfectly, from the small, intimate moments between us and our loved ones to the grand, sweeping shots of the ceremony and reception. Her attention to detail was unparalleled.
Additionally, it was such an amazing experience that we had to repeat it (lol). We ended up hiring Kai for another session of portraits and again that was another fantastic experience, not to mention, the photos were absolutely stunning!
Overall, we can't recommend Kai highly enough. She is a true professional in every sense of the word, and her love and care for her clients really shines through in every aspect of her work. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the magic of your special day, Kai is the perfect choice. She is FANTASTIC! -

Chujan P. Married on 26/02/2022Excellent Pictures
My experience with Kaitlyn was amazing. She made the planning for my engagement effortless and she did a lot of the heavy lifting for me. Once I decided she will be my photographer, she did not disappointment in any aspect. I told her what my vision was and then she called the florists in the Banff region and had that set up as well as our tickets to go up to Sulphur Mountain.
The pictures she took were amazing and beautiful. The only thing more amazing and beautiful than the pictures she took was her bubbly personality. Me and my fiancee had a memorable weekend in Banffs and it is all thanks to Kaitlyn and the amazing work she did.Owl Eye Photography's reply:
Chujan, your love for Sinthu is amazing and you seriously went above and beyond for her. You ordered adozen roses, took her to a mountain peak and then booked a 360 dome at the Banff Fairmont Springs just to have wine with her and make her feel as beautiful as she is!! You spoiled her so well! You two are going to have a very prosperous marriage and loving healthy life together. You both are so sweet and I enjoyed the weekend spending it in Banff taking you on a tour and getting to know you both while you sip some Champagne and enjoyed the scenery!-

Christopher W. Married on 31/12/2021Canmore Wedding Photo Shoot
Kaitlyn was amazing to work with as our photographer to celebrate our honeymoon. Her overall attitude towards photography, and us as her clients was exceptional! She went above and beyond what you'd expect from a photographer; picking us up and taking us to different shooting locations, bringing us our favourite drink to celebrate our day, even going as far as to help the bride change her shoes! We would recommend Kaitlyn based off her attitude and friendliness, but the quality of our photos is a giant cherry on top.Owl Eye Photography's reply:
Chris you are absolutely a gem towards Megan! I met her back in high school and she has always been a kind loving person, I am so happy to have been apart of these beautiful portraits after you celebrating your wedding love over the New Years! Thank you for the amazing day, beautiful photos and great conversation as well a helping had in your own skills ! It was a cold one and you guys sure did trooper it out!-

Emma L. Married on 05/09/2020Caring, Accommodating, and Creative Photographer!
Executing a wedding in a pandemic took planning, re-planning, and re-planning some more. Contracts had to be rewritten and renegotiated every time government and health restrictions happened. And last summer that happened a lot!!!
But as my wise father said "life doesn't stop happening or go on pause" and there was no need to put our love on hold or our life goals on hold. We had to change our expectations and adjust but in the end we got married and shared the day with loved ones.
We will do something bigger with lots of dancing at our 5 year anniversary.
With how amazing Kaitlyn at Owl Eye Photography was at being adaptable, encouraging, solutions focused, creative, and just plain rad, maybe we can have her there at the 5 year too!
Thanks Owl Eye for being the anchor ⚓ throughout our day; keeping it on point, timely, and full of love!
We highly recommend her!Owl Eye Photography's reply:
Emma I would be happy to plan with you all over again! It was so fun to work together during one of the most craziest times of the year and life as whole! I truly look forward to your 5 year plan in renewing your vows!
Your father was not wrong and I am so pleased to have met him + all your family and friends! You are all so down to earth and I totally can't wait to dance with you all again!
Our journey has been amazing with meeting through zoom, then joining our first session together at Elbow Falls for our engagement! To later planning more for the wedding and then our get together for creating amazing wall art for you both!
Thank you so much for your recommendation and review ! I love you both and am so happy how we still keep in touch! -

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.
