    Amazing wedding photographers

    We had Danielle as our main shooter both for our engagement photos and our wedding at The Sablewood on 11.11.23, and Danielle was amazing! She made me and my husband feel so at ease in front of the camera, constantly giving us positive feedback and encouraging us the entire time. Danielle captured the most amazing golden hour photos and it’s a struggle to choose which will be in our album! Prior to the wedding, YTK are responsive to any questions you might have and listen to your vision of the day. They worked with us to create a detailed wedding photo timeline for us on the day of the wedding and actually stuck to it, even finishing a bit early so we could relax a bit before the ceremony. During family photos, which I heard could be chaotic, YTK had our shot list pulled up to make sure that every combination of family photos we discussed were taken. They even organized individuals we wanted pictures with at cocktail hour so that we could quickly get those done. When we got the link to our gallery, all the pictures were organized into categories such as Details, Getting Ready, First Look, Ceremony etc. which was completely unexpected and sooo nice when looking for photos to put in our album. Additionally, we had our photo booth through them as well, and Katherine created a eucalyptus design to make our photo booth prints unique for our wedding! Plus, they came with a bunch of props (including a bunch of Harry Potter ones) that everyone loved haha

    My favorite vendor from my wedding day!

    Booking with Katherine and YTK Works was the best decision I could have made. Throughout the entire process she was communicative and enthusiastic. I loved how early we started talking about the days schedule, shot list, etc. I’ve had friends with other photographers not even receive their timeline until week of wedding- (I can’t even imagine!) but Katherine and her team reached out several months in advance to set up a preliminary timeline. She also is super skilled and efficient and did not waste any time while getting the photos so we could attend our cocktail hour. I received my previews (which included about 400 photos covering each part of the day, not just a handful of teasers) within 3 weeks and the photos are absolutely beautiful. People have told me they’ve never seen such stunning photographs of any wedding, ever! Beyond the photos she was a lovely person and super helpful during my wedding day.

    Deserving of 6/5 stars

    YTK is the greatest, and not only captured my our day but genuinely made it better. Helping with vails and bowties and making us laugh when things got stressful. This was all before we saw the stunning photos. Could not recommend them enough!!!

    Best wedding decision we made!

    Hiring Katherine to photograph our wedding was one of our earliest decisions and quite possibly one of our best decisions. Once I saw her work, I knew I wanted her to photograph our wedding. She is so incredibly talented at capturing light and more importantly, your most important moments. As if that weren't enough, she is one of the kindest people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Every conversation I had with her put my mind at ease and I knew I could fully trust her and her team to make our day so special and seamless. She worked so professionally with all our other vendors and helped us map out our timeline and navigate a rainy wedding, making sure seized the moments we had to get pictures outside. Since our wedding, both my husband and I have done headshots with Katherine. I have done a boudoir shoot with her, and I even gifted my sister's family a mini holiday shoot with her. I can confidently say we have found the photographer we will use to capture all our big moments. I simply cannot recommend her enough!

    Above and Beyond

    Working with YTK was a dream come true. Every single aspect of the experience was incredible. When planning you might not realize just how much time on your wedding day you will spend with your photographer, but they will be there ALL DAY. On the big day, it is so important to be surrounded by people who are there to support and celebrate you. That’s why you MUST work with YTK. Obviously the photographs and video that YTK creates are STUNNING. You can see that clearly on their instagram. What you can’t see, but is equally important, is how supportive the whole YTK team will be during your wedding. At every single opportunity, the YTK team went above and beyond. From getting every single shot we wanted during our wedding, to getting to know our family dynamics so that we could make sure we got the right candids, to even helping to manage wedding day stress, the YTK team is IN YOUR CORNER every step of the way.

    Just hire her.

    We chose YTK photography based on our initial face-to-face meeting with Katherine, where she put us at ease and helped us figure out what we were looking for in our wedding photos. On our wedding day, she guided us through every photograph and made the process feel natural. Katherine will go to great lengths to get the perfect photo - at our wedding, she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants and got into a muddy creek in order to find the right angle. In the end, every photo taken was perfect. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID and Katherine was not only accommodating but would check in with us and offered to help with any part of our wedding plans. She also had great recommendations in regard to other wedding vendors. A+++ You'll be 1000% satisfied.

    Wedding 9/25/21

    We LOVE Katherine, the owner of YTK. She is amazing. I actually found her at the Saratoga Wedding Show in January 2020 (pre-COVID). She is incredible, and her work speaks volumes. Plus she is so sweet, and throughout the entire pandemic she would check in on us and see how she could help. All our photos in the past (engagement & boudoir shoot) have been AMAZING! I can not wait to see our wedding photos as well. I'll be using YTK for all my photography needs throughout my lifetime!

    Simply perfect!

    Working with Katherine and YTK Team was amazing. We booked back in Feb 2020 before the pandemic and they were very supportive throughout the entire process. On the day of, they kept us organized and on schedule. And the photos came out amazing! They will listen to what kind of look and vibe you're going for and reflect that in the editing and lighting. We decided to do a video package, so we're still waiting on that, but I'm sure it'll be incredible 🥰 They say if there's somewhere to splurge for your wedding, it's the photography, and it's so true. So you'll have those beautiful moments captured forever.

    Katherine and the YTK team are perfect!

    Katherine was the photographer at my sisters wedding in 2018, I told her that day I would be hiring her whenever I got married. She is absolutely amazing! She was so easy to get in touch with even though she was so busy with weddings. The day of she was so on top of everything. Even thought us girls were late getting ready she made sure we got the shots we needed before the ceremony. She seemed so genuinely excited about the shots she was getting. I got married on Saturday and Katherine sent me my sneak peeks the following Wednesday! They were amazing! I did not expect anything less! Then a month and a day after the wedding I got all my photos! Every single one of them was perfect! I was in utter shock how many there were! It is going to be difficult picking favorites! If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, Katherine is the right choice. She is so amazing and sweet! She will make your wedding day perfect!

    Amazing, Inclusive, Positive

    We had an extremely positive experience with Katherine. From the moment we met her, Katherine wanted to ensure that our vision for our special day was executed with fidelity and she did just that. As our plans changed throughout COVID, Katherine was there each step of the way to ensure we had special spaces to take our wedding photos. Additionally, she checked in multiple times on our wedding timeline and shot list to ensure n one was missed from the fold. She was extremely inclusive, kind and respectful. Moreover, her energy was extremely positive and proactive, helping direct us with gentleness and an eye for good lighting. Thank you, Katherine, for your time and energy in helping us make this special day into a reality!

    Perfect Team!

    Where do we start? Katherine and her team at YTK captured our perfect day in ways that we couldn't imagine. Every little moment from start to finish they delivered. They handled our engagement photos, wedding photos and videography. They can do it all, and we will book them for any of our photo needs in the future. When the pandemic hit, they were able to accommodate us seamlessly and it made us feel a lot more relaxed! The entire YTK crew is awesome, and we wouldn't have wanted to spend our day with anyone else. Katherine, the owner, even hand delivered a beer to the groom from his favorite brewery. Its the little things that matter! We now have photos and videos that we can look at for the rest of our life, and relive our perfect day!

    The pictures clearly speak for themselves. The best part of having Katherine as our wedding photographer was that she also did our engagement pictures (which we used for our table numbers) and everything coordinated. Many of the guests didn't even know she was there until they saw her at the reception! Her camera was super quiet and her presence was pretty much unknown during the entire ceremony. I have been to weddings with obnoxious photographers with loud cameras that are always getting in the way of the guests but Katherine fit right in as if she was a guest! Katherine quickly became friendly with the caterer and DJ and made sure that everyone was on the same page with the reception events so that I had no worries. Katherine found beauty in scenery that I would have never even thought was possible. Plus, the fact that I have over 800 pictures of my wedding day speaks volumes. Oh, and when the only person who knew how to do my bustle "couldn't find her glasses" Katherine and her assistant came to the rescue!

    I could go on and on but just looking at her blog will make you fall in love.

    Highly recommend - incredible photography

    Katherine from YTK Photography was incredible to work with! In planning she asked simple, key questions to help us choose our photography style and she delivered exactly what we envisioned and offered really reasonable packages that made it doable within our budget. When we postponed our 2020 Wedding she was flexible and compassionate and was able to still photography our Minimony. Katherine made my Husband and I so comfortable and captured the our evening perfectly and we can't wait to work with her again in 2021!

    Katherine is the best

    We got married in October 2020 during the pandemic. We stuck with our original date and made some adjustments. Katherine was nothing short of AMAZING during the entire process. If you want a photographer who makes you feel comfortable and can eliminate as much stress from you as possible she is your girl! If you want someone to step up and tie tie when the groom and groomsmen cant or put on their boutonnieres or button up your wedding dress the fastest and easiest ive ever seen anyone do (yes she is basically super women) Katherine is your girl! If you want someone who will advocate for you and your husband on your special day in order for you to have the best experience (and the best photos) Katherine is your girl! She was so beyond professional, compassionate, organized, and experienced it made for such a more relaxed experience the day of and i thank her for that. We just received our photos and we couldn't be happier with the final products.

    We love ytk!

    Working with YTK throughout the entire planning process- from engagement photos until our big day was seamless despite the pandemic. The owner of YTK, Katherine, helped with all of our planning and was so flexible in shifting our date. Jess from YTK is our favorite person ever! Jess was our assigned photographer and she took the time to get to know us and helped us get comfortable. She perfectly executed our vision for our photos and made us laugh along the way. It truly felt like she was our friend and we can’t wait to continue to capture our life with her. She captured the most beautiful photos and even helped the groom's side to put on their boutonnieres! Alex and Sabrina, our video team were excellent as well, making sure to capture every detail. The team made not only us, but our wedding party and family have a great time with all of the photos as well! All of the YTK staff made sure that we have beautiful memories of our day and we are so grateful! If you are looking for a photo and video package- there are none that are as beautiful AND affordable.

    amazing !!!!

    I don’t even know how to put into words how amazing Katherine is. Since the day we booked her as our photographer she was always there for us making sure this experience was the best. Even during a pandemic with all the chaos she still made the process smooth and effortless for us. The day of our wedding Katherine made us feel amazing and really captured our love for each other. I was able to enjoy my day knowing that every moment would be captured for us. We are so happy with our wedding photos and we will cherish them for a lifetime !

    A must book

    Where to begin! A wedding during a pandemic is stressful but Katherine and her team went above and beyond. She is the most professional, easy and talented photographer I have ever worked with. Katherine and her team made me feel so comfortable, safe and calm the day of the wedding. We had photography and videography all through YTK which helped keep it seamless.

    I did not want to miss my wedding, I did not want to miss the entire cocktail hour but I wanted all of the photos, a tough ask! Katherine made this happen, she was so quick with getting the right people together, grabbing the photos and getting people on their way. This was probably one of the hardest tasks for our wedding and she pulled it off brilliantly.

    Now, lets talk photos. She is so current and up to date on the newest trends and is so prepared for everything. She arrived day of with everything from props to shoot our detail photos with down to a bobby pin for me to fix my hair. The photos are absolutely stunning. I am not the most comfortable in front of a camera but she made it so fun and easy that the photos came out even better because I was so relaxed.

    We received a preview of our photos so quickly and her online portal is so easy and user friendly.

    If you are stilling looking for a wedding photographer/videographer, book Katherine. She and her team will take care of you, take the most amazing photos and will leave you blow away.

    Picture Perfect

    My husband and I could not be happier with the service provided by the incredible team at YTK. We had an outdoor COVID wedding, and they were very helpful in making sure the day when smooth and everyone was happy. The pictures turned out gorgeous and we are definitely recommending them for any event you want captured!

    We couldn’t be happier !

    Katherine did an unbelievable job photographing and live streaming our wedding day! We couldn’t be happier with the quality and artistry of the pictures and video we received. Behind the camera, we also got the pleasure of working with a woman that is creative, warm, detail oriented, and a problem solver. Katherine loves what she does and is very experienced in her craft. This was evident in all of our interactions with her.

    Although the plan for our wedding day changed last minute due to COVID-19, Katherine was a helpful resource to us every step of the way. When we first met her (planning for a 150 person wedding) she took the time to really listen to our vision and helped us craft a timeline that maximized our photography budget and incorporated all the things that were important to us. She knew all the non-traditional “first look” spots in Troy that would help us continue the warm yet industrial vibe we had selected for our venue. When the plans for our wedding day had to be limited to immediate family only and moved to the backyard, Katherine was quick to help us imagine a way to involve those that were not able to physically be present by providing the option to live-stream the ceremony. She went above and beyond with this by also collecting congratulatory videos from all our loved ones to be shared with us on our wedding day!

    Thank You Katherine and @YTK Photography for helping to make our day unforgettable.

    Absolutely amazing!

    Katherine and her team at YTK Photography are INCREDIBLE!! Katherine will go to every length imaginable to give her couples the perfect photo, wedding day, and experience. Between rescheduling our wedding day, navigating COVID challenges, and dealing with rowdy wedding parties and families, Katherine made the whole process seamless and we had so much fun working with her. It is clear that she is passionate about what she does and thoroughly enjoys working with her couples and that is infectious. She managed the day flawlessly, made us feel comfortable every step of the way, and captured every aspect of our wedding perfectly. We LOVE our wedding gallery, it is absolutely beautiful. We also have to give a shoutout to Katie who is a rockstar and was the perfect addition to our day of team! If you work with YTK you will not be disappointed!
