Ah, does doppler effect or relativistic stretching affect the photon wave packet? I was told, that's what causes red/blue shift but aren't photons immune to relativistic effects since they travel at v = c?

No. Lorentz transformations still affect photons; they just affect them by dilation (they change all of the components of the photon's wave vector by the same factor, without changing the direction the wave vector points) rather than by hyperbolic rotation.
