Fantastic, easy going photographer who captures the moment effortlessly

After two years of delay from the C-word, we finally had our wedding in May of 2022. Kate was so patient throughout that entire time of waiting and wondering. We finally managed to get our engagement photos in once the world opened up and she was flexible in meeting us when the weather and timing was right on a moment's notice. The pictures of love, especially w/ our sweet dog, were perfect. She understood we weren't the gushy type, but got the right amount of love and warmth in the pictures. She handled our wedding w/ minimal interaction - I barely knew she was there as she was capturing all the magical moments. I would definitely recommend Kate to anyone who is looking for a professional, easy going, warm photographer!

Excellent experience with creative photos

Doesn’t get any better than Kate McStay. Her creativity is unbeatable. From start to finish I was so pleased with my experience. Kate took our wedding photos and also maternity photos. She captured the day beautifully.

The absolute best!

Kate was not only a fabulous photographer, but also such a pleasure to work with. As a COVID bride we had lots of changes and a 2nd wedding and Kate was such a trooper through it all. We were so nervous about engagament and wedding photos and she coached us through it all and made us feel very comfortable. We love all the photos she captured and can’t recommend her enough!!
