We simply cannot recommend Allison enough! We booked her for both our engagement and our wedding sessions, and we are so pleased with the results. Allison was wonderful on the day-...
of and was very professional. She kept cool in stressful situations and was excellent at directing for shots. It can be awkward being in front of a camera all day, but Allison put us at ease. Her editing is fantastic and the photos are worth the wait!
Kroto’s photographs are beautiful. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this photographer.
I’d been a fan of her work for a decade before hiring her to be my wedding photographer. Un...
fortunately, I would never recommend her to anyone.
Planning for the wedding, her communication was excellent (quick to respond, available when she said she would be, helpful). The day of the wedding, she did a great job- exactly as contracted. Unfortunately, post wedding, her professionalism was nonexistent. We received one email three months after the wedding and had every email and phone call ignored.
Two weeks after the wedding, I wrote her an email inquiring on the possibility of a few early-release photos for thank you cards, but also told her I didn’t expect them and just wanted to know if it was a possibility. No reply. Four weeks after the wedding I followed up with my inquiry just to see if we should wait or order our thank yous instead of wait for photos. No response.
Two months after the wedding, with still no communication, I called and left her a voicemail asking her to get in touch with us. No response.
Almost 3 months after the wedding, early October- still no word and we were actively checking obituaries in case something had happened to her and we weren’t aware. At this point, I posted a FB post stating how upsetting it was to be worried - would we even get our photos? Should we be looking into legal back up? We were just at a complete loss. Within a few hours of the post, she sent us an email that apologized for the lack of communication, said she had been sick, and would have the rest of our photos within a week (there were about 120 photos uploaded to our gallery at that time). I thanked her right away via email.
We checked our gallery every few days and had no new photos. Around two weeks later, I sent her an email requesting an updated timeline. No response.
Finally, almost four months after the wedding, I sent her email asking her why she refused to meet the bare minimum professionalism of at least responding to us. No response, although not a surprise at this point.
We finally noticed our photos were available in late November. Most of the photos are gorgeous. A few of them have poor editing (for example, the veil was being held up by someone, so she removed the person but the veil still looked like it was obviously being held up just by an invisible ghost). Still, most of the photos are phenomenal.
According to our contract, we were supposed to receive a flash drive with the photos on them. I sent her an email inquiring about how we would receive the flash drive (will she mail it, should I pick it up, etc). Unsurprisingly, she never responded and we still do not have our flash drive.
I wish I could say I am still a fan. I wish I could say that the quality of her work was worth the frustration and upset we felt post wedding. Unfortunately, professionalism is just as important as quality of work.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Korto Photography for my wedding, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their exceptional photography service exceeded all our expe...
ctations and captured every precious moment of our special day.

I hired Kortophoto for my rehearsal dinner and wedding day in March 2022. The photos are absolutely beautiful and amazing quality! I wanted a lot of specific “city” shots that incl...
uded the background setting and she nailed it! It rained on the day of the wedding and her team did an incredible job with efficiency in the rain, keeping me dry, staying positive (and keeping me positive), and being down to continue to take the shots I cared about the most outside - and still making them absolutely beautiful! I have a huge family and 24 groomsman/bridesmaids and they managed to capture great moments with all of them in a quick enough way we could still enjoy our day. We also took really fun night photos in the city that are amazing. Our details photos are AMAZING and they were so creative and incorporating different pieces and arranging them beautifully. Also did a great job capturing the setting so that we can look back on our venue and have those memories forever. Renata was with the groomsman in the morning and the boys LOVED her and had so much fun taking photos, they kept mentioning this to me which I think says a lot! I am not super comfortable in front of the camera but Alison did a great job making it fun for me and calming my nerves down, and cuing me to get some great moments. You spend ALOT of time with your photographer your wedding day, and having her by my side made the day better, calmer, and more fun.
Allison is the best photographer ever! I only had a few key photo ideas I wanted to have done on the special day so she got to be creative and wow she did amazing with her creative...
license! Only have our previews so far, and speechless with the results so far. She was able to get lots of amazing photos! I highly recommend Korto photography for your wedding!
Allison and her assistant Isaac did an incredible job for Amanda and I on our wedding day. Our stress levels could have been extremely high, but their presence allowed us not to fe...
el any pressure. Allison knows how to cater to an audience and read the room very well. We could not have asked for a better day and a lot of that is a testament how well Allison did. Thank you :) - we will recommend to any of our friends or family looking for a great photography experience!
Allison and her crew are beyond phenomenal! They were super easy to work with and made everything so much fun! I definitely felt like my voice was heard with regard to the pictures...
we wanted and the overall feel of our wedding day! Allison helped keep me calm before the ceremony and made sure that I was free to focus on the most important things that day. I cannot wait to see our pictures and relive the memories that were captured that day! Thank you again for playing such an important role in capturing the best day of our lives!
Beyond my expectations! Easy to work with and my pictures are above and beyond amazing! Not only were my pics amazing but all the work I see from her and her crew are just breathta...
