Canadian touch to an American Wedding
A True Creative
Kat is dedicated to creating images you will treasure!
Kat goes above and beyond to create beautiful photos
As a long-distance couple, we appreciated her organisation from start to finish. She addressed all our questions and ensured we felt supported throughout the process. Her meticulous planning was especially reassuring since I’m from overseas and didn't know much about shoot locations in Banff. Kat provided a detailed vision board, guided us through locations and timelines, and did her best to fit our vision into the limited time we had together. We even packed our luggage full of faux flowers for the canoe scene ( it was a logistical nightmare!) but wow it turned out beautifully! Kat also brought additional props that made the scene look so beautiful - it was so exciting to see our vision come to life. Kat also surprised us with a shoot at a Japanese restaurant because she knows how much we love Japanese food—it was a wonderful way to weave our story through the photos.
As I am from a tropical country, I was extremely worried about doing the shoot at -4 degrees by a half-frozen lake. Kat brought many cozy blankets and hand warmers, ensuring we were warm throughout the session. Because of her thoughtful care, we were able to fully embrace the moment and enjoy ourselves.
If you’re looking for a photographer who creates beautiful photos while genuinely caring about your story, we wholeheartedly recommend Owl Eye Photography.
Absolutely wonderful experience!
Amazing ⭐️
When I initially hired her, I thought I was merely securing a photographer. However, after falling prey to a fraudulent wedding planner and losing a significant amount of money, I found myself in a tough situation and desperately needing guidance. Instantly, Kaitlyn jumped in to help me replan, never letting the timeline or my stress overwhelm us. She helped me find a fantastic florist who drove hours to work with me, demonstrating the powerful connections she has within the industry. Kaitlyn also referred me to new wedding planners who expertly coordinated every detail of our special day.
In addition to her incredible support, I was treated to a complimentary engagement photo shoot in the stunning Jasper, where Kaitlyn captured breathtaking images that truly showcased my happiness. As someone who has struggled with self-confidence, Kaitlyn managed to make me feel stunning and radiant during the shoot. I also took the plunge and booked a boudoir session with her in Edmonton, gifting my husband an unforgettable album on our wedding day. I never thought I would be comfortable enough for such an intimate experience, but Kaitlyn's warmth and professionalism made it a joyful occasion, encouraging me to embrace my authenticity—yes, even outdoors completely nude!
The wedding day itself was nothing short of magical. Despite the rain, Kaitlyn found beauty in every moment, capturing our rustic farmhouse vibe perfectly. She brought fun and creativity to all our shoots, ensuring we not only got the incredible images we wanted but also had an amazing time doing it.
What truly stood out was Kaitlyn's unwavering positivity throughout the process. From tackling the challenges of firing my previous planner to reassuring me with phrases like, “It’s okay, we got this; we will figure it out,” she kept stress at bay.
With everything from drones capturing candid moments to a taco truck for a midnight snack, our wedding was anything but ordinary. Thanks to Kaitlyn and Owl Eye Photography, our dream vision came to life, and I cannot recommend her enough. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the lens—someone who becomes a true partner in your wedding journey—Kaitlyn is the one! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for making our special day unforgettable! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
