About
Hey, I'm so stoked you stopped by!
Katelynn Kay Photography is a Tacoma, Washington-based company providing wedding photography services. Featured on the WeddingWire and the Knot
Hi, my name is Katelynn, and I am a Wedding Photographer in the Seattle/Tacoma area. A few things about me!
1: I am a momma of 2 boys under the age of 5! YIKES! (and they are CRAZY)
2: I have just transitioned from active duty Air Force to my dream job; Full-Time Wedding Photographer
3: I absolutely love being able to create the stories of couples' love. Whether that be my couples who love burritos to those who love to travel, I'll always find and capture the couple's true colors.
My style of photography is a combination of warm and bright and dark and moody. I started my photography journey in Arizona and have carried over those traits to the great PNW! I am a born and raised Washingtonian and have traveled all around the state.
So… Why choose me?
Well, I am the kind of person that makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I know that sometimes getting photos taken, especially when you're all dressed up, can be intimidating. But I know just how to make you laugh and get that authentic smile out of you and your partner! Little funny and quirky prompts that will break the ice make all the difference.
I am dedicated to making your vision come to life at an affordable price. Learning from each couple, I have grown into a photographer that is confident in her work, as well as one that values the feedback that I get from clients. Photography is such an evolving craft, and tastes and “styles” come and go. I am dedicated to learning what your photographic taste is and making the images that you get ones that you will cherish for a lifetime.
Last but not least, BIG CONGRATS on your engagement, and CHEERS to the wedding planning!
Don't stress, be excited, and let's make this day one of your dreams!

Katelynn was a pro! She was so friendly, and knowledgeable with weddings too! She took beautiful photos and directed us when we had no idea what to do. I am glad I found her when I did 💙

The experience we had was nothing short, but amazing. The day turned out great. The pictures turned out even better. She really eased my daughter into relaxing and showing another side that made for great photos. The whole experience was flawless, easy, and professional. I would definitely be using her again. We can’t be more ecstatic about the outcome. Turnaround time was fantastic. She was easy to work with and put my daughter at ease. Don’t hesitate to book you won’t be disappointed.

Katelynn is an amazing photographer that assists with putting together poses that are effortless and fun! She had patience working with our 3 year old and indulged us with a few poses we wanted to try. She is very prompt with her responses and was super early with meeting us for our shoot. She also gave us great options for locations which offered variety in the types of photos we received. Her turnaround time with getting photos was exceptional as we were able to get sneak peeks in less than 24 hours! We are extremely happy with Katelynn’s work and only wish she was in our state so we can use her for more family photos!

Not only was she flexible with a few last minute requests and time changes due weather, she was able to capture incredible shots of typically less than photogenic members of my family. We will truly cherish these photos for a lifetime and look forward to excuses to work with her again!

I loved working with Katelynn! She is very charming, witty, and helped me tremendously while doing my senior photos. I communicated with her through and through on the vision/aesthetics that I wanted to be captured during my shoot and she worked with me, and the environment we had and accomplished exactly what I wanted while utilizing what worked best for me. I was left speechless when she sent me my photo shoot quickly after the session was over. I absolutely loved them and her work as a photographer.
