    Dan and Lori are beyond fabulous to work with!! They really take the time to get to know you as a couple, and to work with you to make sure everyone is very comfortable and at ease both during engagement photos and in the stress of your wedding day. Choosing an excellent wedding photographer was one of my top priorities for our wedding and I could not have made a better choice! They got along great with everyone in our bridal party, our families, and of course - us. They are happy to go "outside of the box" and are open to any ideas you might have. They truly capture the uniqueness of you as a couple and the joy of your most special day. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone, and will be using them for all of my future professional photos whenever possible!

    Dan and Lori took both our engagement shoot and wedding shoot. They are extremely professional, they knows their craft, and suggested shots and locations that would capture the moment perfectly. McKay photography went above and beyond my expectations for a photographer and the digital copies of the pictures were creatively designed to showcase as well as storage. I strongly recommend McKay Photography for a family/personal/wedding photographer, you will not be disappointment!

    My husband I are so happy that we went with Mckay Photography for our wedding photos as well as our engagement photos..
    Dan and Lori were a pleasure to work with. We felt very at ease with them, they were friendly, professional, talented and listened to our needs. The pictures turned out beautifully and really captured the essence of our day. We received tons of positive feedback from our parents, wedding party and guests on the job that they did. I would recommend Dan and Lori to anyone.

    Dan McKay did such an amazing job with our wedding and engagement photos. He arrived early, and kept everything right on track! We have a lot of really great pictures of family, friends and even our pets! He has a lot of great ideas but also uses your ideas as well.

    As a bride I know how stressful it can be to find the right photographer and feel like your money is being well spent. Dan is amazing to work with and does a wonderful job! I'm so happy with the book of photo memories we have from our wedding and recommend him 100% to anyone in the area! :)

    I loved working with McKay Photography. I was very impressed with the cost for the great quality. I was very comfortable with Daniel. I was so happy we chose someone that was so great to work with. I would highly recommend using McKay for whatever photography you may need. He was very professional and helped make my day the most perfect, for me.

    Dan and Lori were amazing photographers! My engagement photo session was outside, in December, so to say the least, it was cold, but that never bothered them. They took countless photos and captured some really great ones. On the day of the wedding, Lori was with me all day and I could not ask for someone more kind and understanding. Through all of the craziness she was so nice and they both provided excellent pictures. Their work is great and at an even better price. Awesome communication and turnaround time with the pictures. I highly recommend Dan and Lori!

    Todd and I had a limited budget, but once we found "Mckay photography" we knew that we would cut corners elsewhere to make sure their services were at our wedding and it was money well spent. I almost never write reviews unless things are bad but when I thought I had a chance to tell anyone and everyone about my wedding/ engagement photo experience I thought to myself "Absolutely! I want everyone to know how awesome Dan was." It's been 2 years since my wedding and if you were to ask me what my favorite things were from my wedding were, I would say hands down my new husband... followed closely by "mckay photography". I am so grateful for the memories that he captured for us from our beautiful day. The flowers from the day will wilt, the food digest, the party atmosphere will loose it's luster in the crevices of our mind, but my photos will bring back that magical time when the world was ours and we vowed to be together forever. You can't put a price on that but when you do be assured that "Mckay photography" is worth every penny and is money well spent!

    Extremely flexible vendor. This company caught some amazing images of our event. They were great at finding the edgy and fun angles that we wanted! I would absolutely recommend them to a couple that may be looking for that edgy, photo-journalistic flair for their wedding day memories.

    Dan and Lori were amazing to work with! They had so many great ideas and were more than willing to try the ideas we had. We had so much fun with these two and would recommend them to everyone we know! They really helped to make our day memorable, fun, and a low stress environment! I loved their work and can't wait to see our pictures!

    We found Dan through a friend and immediately booked our engagement photo shoot with him. From the second we got our photos back, we knew that he was going to be our wedding photographer. Dan has this special way of taking pictures. Not only does he make you feel extremely comfortable, he became our friend. And did I mention how creative he is?

    On our wedding day, Dan went beyond his job. He catered to me like I was a princess, he was there when I wanted him, and not there when I needed a private moment. And just a few days ago we received our photos and I can't give him enough praises. He captured every moment, every detail, and every emotion PERFECTLY. To say Dan is talented is an understatement.

    Thank you Dan, you seriously rock!

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!! Dan was referred to me by a friend who said "He's awesome, takes amazing photos, don't even consider anyone else" - she was 100% correct. Dan made our engagement shoot fun and the pictures came out beautiful. The wedding photos are GORGEOUS (i know im partial but they are really great photos). He makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera, has a great personality, gets the job done quickly, is always on time, and will give you photos that make for amazing memories. And, his turn around time is beyond compare - i had previews of my photos within one day!! We are so grateful to have met Dan and would refer him to anyone a million times over. He's the BEST!!

    Corey and I were married in October 2011. We had a cold but beautiful fall day. Dan was AMAZING! Our pictures are beautiful and we had a tough time choosing our favorites! Dan is super friendly and definately knows how to "capture the moment." I never felt rushed or too posed in any of our pictures. Everything felt very natural. I have already recommended his talent to some of my newly engaged friends. Dan’s passion for his work by far exceded my expectations. His communication with his clients is very informative and he doesn't make you feel overwhelmed. (if you're planning a wedding you know how overwhelming some of the planning can be). If I were to do it all again, I would definately choose Mckay Photography again!!

    Dan is a great photographer! He photographed two of our friends weddings and we knew we wanted him for our wedding. He is very professional and responded to our questions right away. The quality of the pictures were amazing and he provided us all of the pictures within 2 1/2 weeks after our wedding.

    Dan (McKay Photography) is AMAZING! He photographed our engagement pictures in 2009 as well as our wedding pictures August 28th, 2010, and we couldnt be happier with the turnout! He was fun and great to work with and had wonderful ideas for pictures, and they came out perfect! He always emailed or called us back right away to answer questions! He is reliable, professional, fun, energetic, and all around the best photographer we have ever met or seen! I will be using him again for any family photos, eventually baby photos, and much more, and i recomend him 100% to everyone and anyone looking for AMAZING photos! Thanks again Dan for all your hard work and beautiful photos of us and our wedding! Wouldn't have had anyone else!

    Like many couples, photography was one of the most important aspects of our wedding day. I was getting pretty discouraged at the high prices of Pittsburgh photographers, until we visited Daniel McKay (McKay photography). I was thrilled that his prices are reasonable (and less than a lot of other Pittsburgh photographers), he doesn't require that you sign up for expensive packages or albums upfront and his pictures are BEAUTIFUL. But I ultimately chose him as our photographer because after talking with him, it was clear that he'd respect our schedule. When I told other photographers that I didn't want the groom to see me before the ceremony and that we would only have an hour for pictures, they whined that there wouldn't be enough time for pictures and tried to get me to change my mind and take pictures beforehand. But Dan didn't have that response - when I told him we'd only have an hour for pictures of the two of us (to be taken during cocktail hour) he said it was no problem and assured me we'd get plenty of great pics in that amount of time. He didn't make it about him, instead he made it about us and our preferences, and I really appreciated that. In addition, we did get TONS of great shots and I couldn't be happier with how all of our wedding pictures turned out! Dan is personable, professional, very efficient and overall just delightful to work with. He did a great job of capturing our big day and the albums he put together for us look absolutely gorgeous.

    We were so happy to find Mckay’s Photography to capture the cherished moments of our wedding day. Planning a wedding is very stressful and time consuming and I was most impressed with the responsiveness and flexibility that Dan was able to provide. All of my emails and phone calls were answered in a matter of hours and that helped give me confidence that he would be reliable on my wedding day. I made changes to the schedule of events up until the day before my wedding and Dan catered to each and every one of the changes. I received my proofs back in 2 weeks and they looked better than I could have imagined. I still need to create an album, but I know that with Dans help it is something that will be on the coffee table forever. The best part is the amount of time and attention that I got from Dan for such a reasonable cost. There are no other vendors that came close unless you wanted to choose a company where you meet your photographer the day of the wedding (and that was not something we were comfortable with). I highly recommend Mckay Photography to photograph your wedding - you will not be disappointed!

    Dan and Lori at McKay Photography have been absolutely wonderful and professional throughout our wedding process. Contacting them was easy and they were so willing and flexible to meet with us on the phone since we live out of state. We had our engagement pictures done at Penn State University in February with them and it was a blast. We had so much fun with them; they were professional, personable, and easy to work with. We received our pictures back in about 2 weeks and we were completely satisfied with every step of the process. The pictures looked great and the CD package that we received was great!

    The wedding was at Penn State (Nittany Lion Inn) in October and they did an absolute amazing job. The weather was not the greatest and they were able to work around it and make the pictures look wonderful. They were so fun to work with because they had great picture ideas and worked with us with all of our picture ideas. They had the pictures up on their website before we even got back from our honeymoon (they were very quick) and the pictures were more than we could imagine. They took so many pictures that we didn’t even know about and with having two photographers they were able to capture every single moment of the day – nothing was missing!

    I would recommend them to anyone in the area! You can’t beat the package you get with these two, the prices and everything you get with the package is worth way more than you pay! I definitely recommend getting the package with two photographers – you will thank yourself later! Their print price for pictures is also wonderful and they handed out cards at our wedding with the picture website and password so that friends and family could see and buy the wedding picture at their leisure – what an amazing idea!

    We did our engagement pictures with McKay Photography and had a wonderful experience. They were great to work with, very friendly and captured beautiful pictures. Our engagement session lasted about 3 hours with around 500 pictures which were delivered promptly after our session with great editing for a very reasonable price. We would definitely recommend McKay photography for any event!

    Dan is absolutely amazing at what he does and I would reccomend him to anyone that I know looking for a photographer! He is fun and creative with all the shots that he captures and makes you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. He works quick and still manages to take breathtaking photos, he took over 800 photos at my wedding and still managed to turn around in prime wedding season all of them for me to view within one week of my wedding. He really helped to create memories that will last a lifetime for my husband and I. If I ever need photography services for something else I will without a doubt go to Dan above anyone else....

    Dan McKay was an absolute pleasure to work with! McKay Photography was suggested to me by a very good friend. She had just had a Wedding and only had great things to say about Dan McKay. He was very affordable, experienced, flexible and friendly to work with. All important things to consider when planning a Wedding. I think one of the main reasons we choose McKay, besides the great reviews from a friend, was the set price McKay offered for the entire day. No hourly prices, we got him for the whole day for one price! That was important to us. Also, he was able to provide a second photography. We didn't want any memories missed! Finally, we loved the freedom for us and our guest to view the pictures online. It was a great way for our guests to order prints. I would definitely suggests Dan McKay to any bride looking for a fantastic photography!

    McKay Photography is who you need to book for your wedding!! Dan did our engagement session two years ago and just recently photographed our wedding, I cannot say enough about how beautiful our wedding photos turned out, we have received so many compliments on them! Dan is so responsive, professional and calm, which was really nice for my husband and I on our wedding day. I asked him about a million questions, and he was able to answer all of them. He was there as my bridal party and I got ready (we were a crazy bunch of women but he was so calm and we barely knew he was there) and stayed until the end of the reception. Seriously, book McKay Photography you will not be disappointed!

    Fantastic wedding experience

    My wife and I wanted to share our fantastic wedding experience after choosing McKay Photography. During the beginning of our photographer search, Dan and Lori stood out to us by having an active social media presence with numerous albums of prior client weddings and other special life moments. After viewing their style of photography, and reading past reviews from people who recommended McKay, this gave us the confidence to contact them. After exchanging email correspondence, we set up a convenient meeting where we met with Dan and Lori. They were both very personable and presented us with an overview of their services and the different packages that they offer. We were given a folder of information and after we decided to choose McKay, we kept in touch until it was time to schedule our engagement photos. We asked for their suggestions and advice on possible locations from the theme of photography we were looking for and the pictures turned out perfectly. During the wedding ceremony and reception Dan and Lori did a wonderful job capturing our day with family and friends. We continue to receive compliments on how beautiful the pictures turned out. They exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with choosing McKay Photography.
