Katy is the best!

I can't recommend Katy more highly - we did both our engagement and wedding photos with her, and she was such a joy to work with for both. She made the shoots fun, gave us lots of direction, made us feel comfortable, and delivered amazing photographers. To top it all off, she's just a really cool person and easy to hang out with. You can't go wrong by booking Katy :)

Katy will make your vision come to life!

I found Katy on instagram and immediately fell in love with her style but also her passion for people and capturing the intimacy between people. She was personable and kind from the start and I could feel her genuine personality through instagram. She immediately understood my vision and started adding ideas and props which was so helpful! She took time to get to know us as a couple and you can see her passion in her work. She was willing to work with me on price and even recommended and picked up my bouquet for the shoot. She truly goes the extra mile! Katy met us outside of Glacier National Park and we started our shoot with the help of some whiskey from the local distillery! We went into Glacier National Park at dusk and shot at so many stunning locations. Katy was an absolutely pro, knowing all the hidden gems and directing the shoot to feel so incredibly natural and fun. Katy went the extra mile and insisted on shooting into the dark with the moon and stars as our only lighting. It was so incredibly adventurous.

Katy was AMAZING to work with, gorgeous photos!

Our entire experience with Katy Shay Photography was impeccable. We met several times before the wedding day to discuss our vision for the photos and scheduling and she was just as excited as I was about all of the details of our big day! Katy's professionalism cannot be beat. She was on time and on schedule for every aspect of shooting and delivering the final product! We so enjoyed having her around throughout the wedding day!

I loved the mood and romance and artistry of Katy's work, and some of the more fine art details that she added with with dual exposures and lighting. We could not be more pleased with everything she did!!

Amazing photographer

We loved working with Katy as our photographer! She listened to everything we wanted and gave us more than we could have ever expected. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole day. We even used her multiples times after our wedding to capture precious milestones in our life, and she's always exceeded our expectations!
