    Incredibly professional

    We had our wedding June 2021 and being that we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times due to Covid, Katherine was so accommodating. She and Melinda were so nice and professional and you can tell they’ve been doing this for years. Our pictures couldn’t have turned out more beautiful. Thank you ladies for capturing our special day!!!

    Katherine was very helpful compiling the timeline for the day and worked efficiently - spending more time on what was most important to us. We were actually surprised by some of the shots we ended up with because we either didn't realize she was there or that the shot was even taken! The creativity across the board was top notch! She worked very well with large groups and a wide variety of ages. The amount of photos we have of our wedding exceeded any expectations we had. We couldn't have asked for anything more!

    Sweet Second Wedding

    This was the second wedding for us. We both knew that we wanted something special from our wedding photography that incorporated our new blended family. Katherine really captured the love we have for our families and the true spirit of our day. The photos make us cry and laugh, sometimes at the same time! Katherine was incredible to work with. If you want a photographer who will listen, understand and deliver, Katherine is for you. She really cares.

    So talented and helpful!

    We are so happy that Katherine was our photographer. My mom was helping me with all my wedding planning and I asked her to find me a few photographers to look at. I saw Katherine’s work online and I knew we had to have a meeting. I hired her on the spot. Katherine is really talented, very cheerful and super helpful. She understood that we wanted something a little different and she did a great job fulfilling all of my requests. She took fabulous shots of my wedding day. I love looking at all the photos she captured. I recommend Katherine to anyone.

    Super Valuable Asset to our Most Special Day!

    What do I mean by that, you ask? Katherine helped whip me and my husband into shape from the very beginning - We decided to plan our wedding in a very short 5 months and Katherine was the first one to help ease our very lost and confused minds by racking out the most basic but sometimes confusing part of the day - the timeline!

    She really impressed us at our first meeting when she pulled out a PowerPoint presentation to walk us through her process and answer questions we didn't even know we had! Katherine kept in touch with me regularly regarding any important details and would reach out to me first to check in - which we found was a rarity among most vendors.

    We haven't received all of our photos yet as we just got married 3 weeks ago, but Katherine sent us a sneak peek preview (okay, super awesome because who isn't dying to see pictures right away?) AND WE ARE BLOWN AWAY.

    The pictures came out better than I ever expected they would have. Even though our wedding is over, our lasting memories come to life every time we look through these pictures - they make me cry!!

    Katherine and her team are awesome, I'm so glad she ended up being part of our wedding day team. Forever grateful!

    Katherine Van Acker Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your lovely words. I think you both are so special. The day was perfect and everything you both deserved. Now you're making me cry!

    Amazingggg

    Katherine and Patty were amazing! I didn't have a wedding planner and Katherine helped me with a wedding day timeline
    Katherine was very easy to get in touch with and answered all of my questions. She made sure we had a list of photos that were a must for the wedding! I couldnt have asked for a better person to capture my big day!! Prices are very reasonable!

    Truly Amazing!

    Katherine and her team are phenomenal. She went with my crazy ideas for our engagement photos, going above and beyond. For our wedding, she made me and my husband comfortable to the point we forgot she was there at some points. We got some beautiful posed photos as well as photos that capture our relationship as a couple. She responds very quickly and we received our photos promptly

    One of a kind

    Katherine is truly one of a kind. I couldn’t imagine anyone else photographing our wedding. She was wonderful to work with! I will never forget how sweet, kind and attentive she was throughout the entire process. She really captured the style we were going for as well as bringing her own ideas to the table. If you book Katherine you will not be disappointed. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations. If you seek the extraordinary book Katherine!

    Easy, fun and beautiful

    We found Katherine here on Wedding Wire and really glad we did! She made our wedding day easy and care free. She helped us plan our timeline and made sure we got great photos of all the special moments on our wedding day. She helped us feel comfortable and relaxed for our portraits and she made the whole experience of our photography really fun! We love our photos and think Katherine was just great. We are very happy we found her.

    Katherine was a blessing. With all of my panic attack emails, her professionalism calmed me down. She was great at instructing and put a ton of effort into the photos I wanted. She brought a ton of comfort to my wedding day with her laugh and smile. I couldn’t ask for a better person to be following me around the whole day.

    Katherine is not only a photographer but also a friend. She were there for me every step of the way on my wedding day. She listens and blows all expectations out of the door. The pictures she captured were everything I wanted. Thanks Katherine for being professional, caring, understanding, and the sweetest person photographer! And thank you for going the extra mile!

    Every bride is picky and wants the best for their wedding day (trust me I know). I’m happy I went with Katherine. She took the time out to meet me privately numerous times to know exactly what I wanted, that’s the kind of photographer you want. Looking forward to working with Katherine again in the future.

    Katherine was our photographer for our wedding this past August in Lake George. She was very helpful throughout the whole process. We also used Katherine for our engagement shoot. The pictures came out great! It really helped working with her before the wedding so we knew what to expect. On our wedding day she was awesome! She was always there capturing our most important moments. The wedding pictures also came out great! Choosing Katherine for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning. We would recommend her to anyone! ☺

    The second I met Katherine I KNEW that I picked the right photographer for our engagement photos and our wedding. She cared so much about what we wanted and asked us a ton of questions to make sure she got to know us as a couple. She wanted to know our personalities before even getting to what we wanted along the lines of photos. When the days came, everything so was so well organized: time lines, a list of candids we wanted, family portraits, where and when all the pictures were taking place. She made us feel secure in knowing that out of everything that could go wrong at a wedding, my photographer was definitely NOT going to be one! I had nothing to worry about. When we received our pictures from both events, they were stunning! She took her time and put her loving touch to each and every photo. She was very informative about striking different poses to bring out our best features. I want to get married again just be able to hire her! (I’m hoping to add more photos to my review later. I don’t have a lot on this device. 3 are from our engagement session)

    “Katherine was amazing to work with!! I was very impressed with how organized and professional she was during the entire process. I met with her week in advance to plan out the exact pictures we wanted, which was SO helpful, because by the time our wedding day came, I would have never remembered what exact pictures I wanted. Katherine was upbeat, positive and knows how to make you feel beautiful during the whole day. She was even able to deal with my (sometimes) grumpy husband, who is not a fan of pictures. Her turn around time on the pictures was faster than I could have ever expected, and we had a preview of photos to look at during our honeymoon. The amount and quality of pictures she presented was more than I could have anticipated. I highly recommend her for your wedding day! Thank you so much, Katherine!”

    Not only was Katherine extremely professional, she made me feel beyond comfortable from the start. Both the engagement and the wedding photos came out amazing, and I've been recommending her to everyone who needs a photographer.

    Fantastic!

    Katherine was such an amazing choice for documenting our special day. She was kind and professional, but I enjoyed that she knew exactly what needed to be done to capture the images we were looking for. Her willingness to change and adapt based on the circumstances was super appreciated. I can’t recommend her high enough. Thank you so much for all your help with this process!

    Working with Katherine was an absolute dream. She was so flexible, from following us all the way up to Schuylerville from Albany for our engagement shoot to allowing us to suggest a few shots spontaneously. By the time the big day came along, we felt like she was a part of the family. She understood what we were looking for and delivered big time. We were overjoyed when we finally got our photos back. Her photography captured so many special moments that we will be able to relive for years to come.

    Katherine was an excellent photographer for our wedding! She was so easy to work with and made our wedding day so fun with no stress. She met with me and my husband multiple times before our big day to go over everything we wanted right down to the little details. We were also able to text her with any questions or ideas we thought of. The pictures Katherine took of our wedding day were beautiful and ones we will cherish forever. If you are looking for a reliable wedding photographer who will provide excellent quality photos, is so fun and personable, and will make your wedding day stress free, Katherine is the photographer for you!
