Services Offered
This award-winning photographer specializes in working with her surroundings, including natural light, to create stunning photos. She loves photographing in the rugged backdrop of the Canadian Rockies, snapping stunning portraits against snow-capped peaks. Kaitlyn also offers intimate elopement sessions in Tofino, and she excels at capturing the love between two. Owl Eye Photography offers custom collections designed for the unique needs of each client. In addition to wedding packages, couples can avail of specialty portraits including engagement, adventure, boudoir, and day-after sessions. Kaitlyn professionally edits each image, and couples can order prints, canvases, and other photography items from her company.
The greatest compliment a wedding couple can receive is how diligent, flexible, and creative their wedding photographer was and ask for her again. Kaitlyn, and Owl Eye Photography, not only captured our wedding moments, but built a series of memories that spanned our lifestyle. We intentionally flew her out so she could catalogue aspects of our State, the intricacies of our home, and early preparations for our wedding day that only a keen eye and due diligence could find. Her ability to create and discover carried from the first consult to the final touches of her editing abilities. We were lucky enough to discover this team early in their career as we have no doubt they will be known in several countries as they continue to expand.

Hello beautiful,
It was quite the arrangement for you to make it all the way here finally eh?
After two reschedules, going through one photographer, family last minute cancelling and from the original spot being in Newfoundland, you and TJ made it all the way to Banff, Canada. Where you both celebrated. Looking beautiful as all !
Your family was so dashing to get to know and fun! Thank you for having Owl Eye Photography's team out. Jasmine had an amazing time videoing and a wonderful evening with everyone for dinner. Thank you for having us, we really are happy to have made your wedding everything you could imagine after all that COVID-19 has put you and many others through.
One love,
Kailtyn Hoover

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.

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.
