Kay is truly incredible. I've been thinking about what I could possibly say that'll amount to my experience with her but I don't think any words will do it justice. I used to be a photographer myself and even worked for celebrity wedding photographers for a short time, so I had high expectations going in... but let me tell ya, I didn't have anything to worry about at all.

Her skill is absolutely impeccable (hence her INCREDIBLE photos), but what sets her apart is the amazing experience she gave and the level of kindness she showed. And her team? The same! Genuinely, she truly knows how to balance professionalism with being personable. You can always hire a skilled photographer to take great photos, but you can't pay someone to care. And Kay cares. About her work, about her clients, and about the experience she gives.

If there was anything I needed more clarity on or wanted to change (which wasn't much), she was so accommodating and kind. Even when a last-minute hiccup popped up the day before the wedding, she handled it with so much grace and calm, never once making me feel stressed or pressured. That kind of character is rare, and I’ll never forget it.

What I'm ultimately trying to say is that Kay is everything I could have asked for and more in a photographer. She gave me not only incredible wedding photos but also an experience I’ll cherish forever. I’d recommend her again and again to anyone. And believe me, that's saying a lot - I'm so picky lol! Thank you, Kay, for being both an amazing photographer and an amazing human being. My wedding photos will tell the story of your talent and care for a lifetime.

Where do I begin. We recently got our photos and video back from our wedding and I'm OBSESSED. They seriously look like they were taken from a bridal magazine. Photography was extremely important to us and I literally researched and looked up almost every possible option in southern California in my budget range and after looking over Kay's work I knew we had to have her. The moment we posted our engagement pictures I had 6 DMs wanting her contact info because they were that good. And honestly...she could seriously be charging more for the quality you get. We almost didn't get the video because we had heard so much mixed feedback from friends/family on whether it was worth the money or not. Let me tell you, ITS WORTH IT. I've literally watched it ten times in the past month. I'm a little picky when it comes to this stuff and I wanted it to come off professional and classy if that makes sense....and they hit it out of the park. Kay and her team were so great and easy to work with. I also later found out how much she advocated for me on my actual wedding day when she saw things going awry with our venue. THIS is the type of vendor you want, someone thats going to look out for you like a best friend. I'd give her 10 stars if I could. Thanks Kay for capturing the magic of my day :)

I’m so happy I went with Kay for my wedding photos! From the beginning she was quick to respond. I already had someone else doing my engagement photos but she still suggested we do a (complimentary) mini session beforehand so we could get to know each other before my wedding day. I told her the vibe I was going for and she picked the perfect spot. I love those photos and am so happy I have them!
I recently got back my wedding photos and am so happy with them! I had a huge wedding party and Kay managed to wrangle us all together and keep it fun.
The day of the wedding she was on time and professional. There was a second shooter who also did an amazing job.
I recommend hiring Kay for your wedding photos!!

If you're looking for a photographer who is easy-going, professional, and very responsive and honest, then look no further! Kay McCoy & one of her associate photographers, Ed, are the best to work with. She is so booked up due to popular demand, and yet still tries very hard to accommodate your schedule and important timelines. If she can't do it herself, then she involves her associate photographer(s) as a great alternate option who will deliver the same levels of consistency and dedication as Kay. She also does the editing herself, and is so prompt with the end results. My husband and I are grateful.

I couldn't be happier with Kay, I hired her to do our engagement photo shoot, and our wedding day pictures - she outdid herself.

My husband and I have never taken professional photos before, so it was difficult for us to get in the groove of feeling natural or sassy, but Kay makes you feel beautiful, confident and comfortable. There are few reasons why I originally chose Kay, one being her communication. She is so prompt at returning emails, calls, and texts, which is a really big deal to me. She never made me feel like my questions were annoying (which I know they were) or tedious, she helped me decide on an outfit for the engagement shoot and was all around attentive to my questions or concerns. The two other main reasons why I decided to move forward with Kay as our photographer was her rates and her actual photography, I shopped around a lot before making my decision. Her pricing is very reasonable especially for how perfect the quality is. I love how she is so candid with her shots, not just one, two, three smile, she takes shots when you are not looking and those tend to be the best! When we took our engagement portraits, it was cloudy and overcast, but that did not show through in the portraits!

I was having a hard time with my wedding schedule, but Kay swooped in and spent over an hour with me on the phone breaking it down and making sure the timeline would be perfect for her to get her shots in. kay also had excellent communication with the DJ so I didn't need to worry about anything on the day of.

On the wedding day, Kay arrived early to scope out the area - she ended up choosing a spot that I never would have thought as being a picturesque area, but YUP leave it to Kay because that spot was beautiful! She has such a keen eye for her surroundings.

I was so nervous while I was putting on my wedding dress and she did an excellent job at calming me down and making sure I had a good time. During the first look, she took the pictures and then gave my husband and I a few minutes to ourselves, which really meant a lot to me - never making me feel rushed, even though we were on a tight schedule.

I am obsessed with her work, she is so creative and takes such unique portraits that really makes us stand out. She is kind, sweet and so much fun!! The portraits she takes are out of this world creative. She genuinely cares about her clients/job! Her portraits speak for themselves, she is AWESOME and I 100% recommend her!

Thank you so much, Kay!!

Kay was a great photographer to have throughout the wedding planning process, and on our day. She had us come up to the OC where she is based for an engagement shoot (included in the package), which was great because we got to know her ahead of the wedding and got some cool beach photography to use on our digital wedding invites. Kay has shot tons of weddings and will be cool as a cucumber throughout your ceremony and reception. We had her for six hours, from pre-ceremony photos with our wedding party and some family members, through all of the events like first dance and dinner. At the end, we had a 30 minute sunset photoshoot with Kay and our videographer, which was a really wonderful part of the wedding - getting to spend time with my husband and having awesome cliffside sunset documentation of it. Also love her editing style - check out her instagram. Definitely consider Kay for your wedding! She's the perfect professional and will keep things moving along as they should.

Kay was great. Everywhere I looked she was there. She new every picture to take. She suggested sunset pictures on the beach. I know they are going to be gorgeous.

Kay really takes the time to really get to know you. Listens to what your visions are. And you want. Kay did an amazing job! Despite dealing with a Huge bridal party! She keeps it together & on task! I highly recommend her! You will not regret it! thank you for making our most memorable day so special & most important capturing what’s left, our memories.

I would highly recommend Kay! She has been amazing to work with! 10/10!!!

KAY IS AMAZING. I swear to God, Kay is the sweetest person, she is SO TALENTED, and inexpensive! On our initial phone call we discussed the timeline of the wedding day so we could figure out what we could all get done photo-wise during the time allotted. After chatting for a little, she eventually threw in an extra hour of photo for free! On top of that, she through in a free engagement shoot for my husband and me (I couldn't afford the engagement shoot). When planning for us to come to Orange County for our shoot (we live in Reno) things got messed up and we weren't able to do the shoot. So, she offered to come fly to Reno on HER DIME for the FREE engagement shoot she offered me. I'm telling you, if you guys want amazing photos, and someone who you can really connect with and feel comfortable with come your big day, choose Kay!!! Thank you for everything, Kay! You captured our big day with so much fun and beauty!
