Laquita Sent on 07/01/2013Kristel is such an amazing photographer and I am so grateful for her. Everytime I look at a photo I am reliving the moment. She is able to catch every emotion and moment. She was very patient and kind thru the entire day. And the pictures are amazing. She makes you let go and just have a great time. Thank you so much KristelMcCoy Wedding Photography's reply:

Erin A. Sent on 01/14/2022I'm in love
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 :)

Ceili Sent on 11/09/2019Amazing photographer!
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!! -

Esther F. Sent on 11/01/2019Very personable & prompt!
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. -

Nicole Sent on 10/18/2019Absolutely Amazing!!
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!! -

Megan M. Sent on 08/23/2019Kay was the best for our San Diego wedding!
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. -

Savannah Sent on 12/17/2018Miraculous
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!McCoy Wedding Photography's reply:

Our wedding was absolutely amazing and she caught every moment for us. I couldn't have dreamt up a better photographer. -
Lauren Sent on 09/06/2018I can not describe how in love I am with our pictures. This lady is pure magic and I swear worth every penny. I absolutely would recommend. She gets the shots you didn’t even think were possible and truly captures a moment. Thank you so much!!!
Only thing I would say is make sure you know this is a timely process to get your photos after the event. She works her butt off so it might take awhile to see her results but once you do it’s all so worth it.
Thanks again Kristel!McCoy Wedding Photography's reply:

Sherry Sent on 02/20/2018Kristel did a fantastic job on our engagement and wedding photos. They were all so bright and beautiful. We got a ton of complements on them. She was flexible with timing and location. We also got a great value on the entire package. Kristel has a high standard on her product. When it turned out to be a gloomy day on at our engagement shoot, she was happy to reschedule to ensure that we had beautiful pictures. She also helped coordinate our scattered wedding party the day-of to ensure that we got the shots we needed. Recommend!!
