I can’t say enough great things about Katy!! She is incredibly talented, and she has captured our love so well. She is so friendly, kind, and very communicative. On wedding day, she knew what she had to do & took the best photos! You absolutely get what you pay for, and her photography was the best investment we made for our wedding. I 100000% recommend Katy to capture your special day!!

We knew from the first conversation we had with her that we wanted to work with Katy. She is incredibly nice and quickly made us feel at ease when talking with her about what we envisioned for photos for our wedding day. We are still getting compliments about how stunning our photos work and how great she and her second shooter were to work with on the day of. In addition to doing our wedding photos in Cleveland, she came to Boston to shoot our engagement photos. We constantly felt like we had hit the vendor jackpot working with her.

Katy has been great to work with! She photographed our wedding this past October and she was fantastic! She understood our vision and made sure we stayed on track to document the most important day of our lives. She’s delivered great images and has even gone out of her way for us. Would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a great photographer with great energy and passion behind the camera.

Katy was phenomenal! I highly recommend as someone who had never spent any time in front of a camera. She and her second shooter made the picture session feel seamless, one working with me and friends the other working with my spouse and friends. She did an amazing job navigating family and prioritizing us.

Katy did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding this past September! She was nothing but the utmost professional in executing our engagement and wedding photos. Her process for soliciting important information for desired shots was easy to complete and made sure we got all the photos we wanted day of. Katy was flexible, easy to work with, and listened and acted on all of our requests. We highly recommend Katy as a photographer for your wedding.

Where to start with Katy!? She provided us with the most amazing wedding photography experience. From the first connection via phone to getting your gallery after our wedding day, Katy will be the person you can depend on. She is so friendly, honest, and easy to work with and is an amazing artist. As someone who never knows how to pose, she makes you feel comfortable immediately and makes sure you have fun from the first photo to the last. We loved having the complementary engagement photo shoot to get to know Katy more and get a feel for how the wedding day will go. She makes the planning process very easy with easy to fill out forms and is always available by phone and email for questions. I truly am sad to no longer be working with Katy and look forward to the next life excuse to work with her. We have the most amazing photos from both the engagement session and the wedding day. Thank you Katy!!!!

TLDR: great photographer, reasonable price, easy to work with
We hired Katy for my hennah party and our wedding in Columbus. She came highly recommended by a close friend. Honestly not sure how we were lucky enough for her to be free that weekend.
From the very first call we had, she was patient and flexible. Her prices are very reasonable and she genuinely cares that your pictures turn out exactly as you imagined. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, we went over the schedule, my photo inspo, and other wedding weekend logistics. And the days of the hennah party and wedding, she had such a calming presence.
We shared our pictures with family overseas and everyone reacted to how well the photos turned out. Looking at the pictures and seeing everyone’s expressions, expressions in moments that we missed or have forgotten since that day, helped us relive the happiest day of our lives.
I’m not sure I would want to plan another wedding again, but if I did, I’d hire Katy again in a heartbeat.

We loved working with Katy and would highly recommend having her capture all your special moments!
She was amazing at our engagement photo shoot and was able to make our vision come to life. We had a pretty specific look we wanted and she was able to capture it perfectly.
At the wedding she was able to coordinate very large family pictures and the bridal party seamlessly. We got to re-live our wedding day through the pictures. She got us sneak peaks within a couple days which was amazing!!
I would highly recommend Katy for a wonderful process and amazing photos to have for a lifetime.

Katy is a true bride's dream photographer. She was thrown into our wedding just days before due to our original photographer double booking, and letting me know 9 days before the big day. Katy took this in stride and stepped up right away. To late night zoom calls going over details, countless texts and reassurances Katy eased our stress. She has such a kind bubbly personality she made even my photo shy husband laugh and have a great time during our couple portraits!! She was able to wrangle our large family, even the kiddos to take excellent family photos. You cannot go wrong by choosing Katy for your big day. She makes you feel like a friend and the photos are just stunning. We will be coming to her for all our family photo needs in the future!

Katy Bilek is a photography goddess. She took our engagement and wedding photos, and I sincerely cannot imagine how they could have been more stunning! Her dedication and skill in her craft are one-of-a-kind, and her personality alone brightened our special day even more. Katy not only traveled across the state for our big day but went above and beyond to ensure that she captured any shots that we had requested. She brought fresh ideas for us to try, which turned out to be absolutely gorgeous in execution. Her love for her clients combined with her passion for her work is a powerful combination. She created pure MAGIC. Andrew and I cannot recommend KCBilek Photography, LLC enough!!!!
