Happy Customers
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Katheryn for our engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding photos. Katheryn (& Charles) knew exactly how to wrangle our large and rowdy wedding party & families, so we got exactly the photos we wanted, and she made it fit in our short time allowance. Katheryn had our photos to us way faster then we ever expected. I can’t believe how amazing she made all of our photos look, I could instantly tell that she did her research to plan for our photos and figure out the exact spots that would have the best backdrops and lighting for our photos. She also made sure we had everything checked off of our ‘must have’ list multiple time throughout the wedding. I could not have been happier with all of the pictures, I would highly recommend Katheryn Moran Photography and hope to work with her again some day!
Katy is amazing. Her and her husband were the photographers for my wedding and I have to say I was blown away with the whole experience from start to finish! From the communication in the beginning to set up for a smooth day to capturing all the moments I knew I wanted along with so many moments I didn’t even know were happening – she is the best!
I am so grateful that I chose Katheryn Moran Photography for this very special day!
Katheryn was a pleasure to work with for both our engagement and wedding photography this year! She made the photo shoots comfortable and fun, her communication throughout was professional and comprehensive, and the final photos were absolutely stunning. It’s clear that Katheryn cares for her clients and her business – she delivers a quality experience that we would recommend to anyone. <3
Katheryn is THE BEST!!!!! My husband and I have been fortunate enough to work with her twice, once in 2020 for our wedding and again in 2022 for our wedding reception. Covid ruined our initial plans to elope in Ireland, but it led us to a magical wedding at a local park with Katheryn! She instantly felt like family and made both my husband and I very comfortable. She helped us with posing and utilized so many different spots at the venue. She captured everything beautifully!
I cannot say enough positive things about working with Katy. She is always professional, arrives early for any meeting or event we’ve scheduled, and shows up smiling, optimistic, and with plenty of creative ideas on how to make a shoot feel relaxed, fun, and unique. She is highly responsive via email which makes communicating with her super easy, never stressful, and she always has a fully comprehensive answer to any of my questions/concerns. It was amazing to me how quickly she got our photos back to us for review, especially because I know she is juggling multiple clients and projects at once.
