YTK Works

e Crushed it from the planning process, to the filming the ceremony and the toasts (an added price of course), to rallying all my family members and bridal party for pictures- (total of 35-40 people), to making my husband and I feel very comfortable when we were doing our first look and all of the pictures taken together throughout the day. We're sooo thrilled how the photos came out and we can't wait to see more ! She truly captured the essence of the day ! She is the ultimate hype gal whom really was the best wedding photographer fit for us and I cannot recommend her professionalism, communication with myself and the other vendors on site, and her absolute shining aura that’s amazing to be around. 11/10 !

ng up to the day) a breeze. Can’t thank her enough. Not to mention our pictures are flawless. So grateful we found her. She is worth every single penny.

to work with and went above and beyond being our photographer. She was so communicative throughout the entire experience, and on the wedding day was such a calming presence to have around. She even attended our Welcome Party the night before to take photos for us then as well. Her team also did our videography services and everything came back amazing! We seriously loved her and couldn't have imagined our weekend without her. We couldn't recommend her enough!!!

o comfortable in front of the camera which resulted in wonderful photos of our day. We have received so many compliments not only on the final photos but also on her and her teams professionalism and preparedness. We have already recommended her to anyone that has asked.

ont 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 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.

aph, making the day unforgettable. A true professional with patience with a talent for encapsulating emotions – we couldn't be happier with her and her work!

king 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.

il unlike any other and truly knows how to capture a couple’s authenticity and love for one another. She is beyond talented and gifted at what she does. On our wedding day, the team not only worked extremely efficiently and timely, but you could feel the love, compassion and dedication each one had for their work. They all put their heart into making our day amazing. We are truly grateful to have had YTK capture the best day of our lives. Thank you ❤️

. Her team did an amazing job shooting our wedding which involved boats, a huge wedding party, a dog, and more! Her team captured every moment and I'm so happy I get to relive the magic of the day through her photos and videos. Her team seamlessly blended into the event while capturing amazing content. She also was so good at coaching us and helping us look our best for the photos! I'd highly recommend her.

ep you on schedule and give you the best possible shots. We used her for our wedding on 10/09/22 and we get nothing but stunning compliments on our photos and our video anytime we show them off. Her energy and presence is calm and pure, and she will stop at nothing to make sure you accomplish your goals on your big day. She even defended me against a rude bystander interrupting our photos on our wedding day. I was visibly shaken after the horrific exchange, and Katherine immediately made me take the most stunning portraits of myself, that looking back, I can’t believe how flustered I was seconds before taking them. She and her team are all incredibly talented and beautiful people inside and out. Katherine has shot our engagement photos, our wedding photos and video, and now our maternity photos. She is by far my favorite vendor we booked for our wedding, and you won’t be disappointed if you do the same.

ailer. A brief overview of the situation is as follows: We were given the first version about 1.5-2 months after the wedding. Overall, the video quality just didn’t seem at a professional level like their other videos I’ve seen, maybe it was the lighting. They left audio in about us talking about the microphone which she said was left in as a mistake. They didn't include audio for things like our vows. We had 2 best men and they only included clips from one of their speeches and completely left the other guy out. They used some clips that were extremely unflattering, I even got feedback from family and friends to make sure I wasn’t just being my own worst critic. These are things that obviously needed to be adjusted. I gave a lot of feedback and gave replacement ideas from bonus footage. She said she’d call me on a specific day to discuss the changes. That day came and went, no phone call. I followed up about a week later. I’m told her household had bad food poisoning. Ok, fine. She finally calls and we discuss the issues. They worked to adjust them but weren’t using the footage I recommended in some spots. The owner ended up having to take over our trailer work because it truly didn’t seem to be done at a professional level and they were not fully listening to the feedback being given. The owner said to give her some time to wrap her arms around it (late Feb). I gave 2 months and heard nothing so I again followed up. No response, and another week went by, so I followed up again (it is now May 8, 2023). She emailed me back explaining some personal things again and said “You are top on the list and I expect to have it ready for you late next week.” A week comes and goes and I hear nothing. I give another month and a half. It is now almost the end of June and I follow up again. I explain that I still want the changes made and I’d like our video finalized. She replied by again giving me all the reasons why she couldn’t get it done. This is now the 3rd time I’ve been given excuses why the video still isn’t done. Now, it is wedding season again. We are approaching the 7 month mark from when our wedding occurred. It is almost the end of the timeframe in her contract (28 weeks). She is now telling me that since she is in her busy season again, I’ll have to wait, even though I was “at the top of the list” back in May. Why am I not still at the top of the list? She also said that a product was delivered timely and I just didn’t like it. Very disappointed to hear that her videos and services are based on HER standards rather than the standards of the paying customer. I am not asking for unreasonable changes and have been more than patient. At this point it seems my video is just not a priority and is never going to be. Do not hire this vendor if you want someone that does not keep an open line of communication or provide timely updates, and does not accept responsibility or accountability. We had no major issues with any other vendors and the rest were all excellent. I offered her to give me money back and provide me with all the raw footage and she can wash her hands of it and she was unwilling to do that either. We just want our video finished and we want to be completely happy with the end product as any client should be for a vendor they hired and paid for.

also very impressed with how much fun she made the group photos.

! She did our engagement shoot and wedding, and we are absolutely obsessed with our photos. She is somehow both warm and able to command a crowd, both willing to hear your wants and able to give suggestions. We chose the option that had a second photographer (Tatiana), and she was also wonderful. If we ever need a photographer for anything else, we know who we are going to call!

with answering any questions in a timely manner, and giving us clear descriptions of what we should expect on the day of. Our engagement shoot was stunning and so much fun, and on the day of when the weather went south Katherine was calm and collected and used her artistic vision to give us STUNNING photos anyways! She was a calming force in the midst of a beautiful yet chaotic day, and I am so thankful for how well she was able to navigate both the venue and our families/guests to give us the perfect photos. We also opted in to get a livestream of our ceremony and we have gotten nothing less than amazing feedback! We cannot wait to go back to YTK for maternity photos, anniversary photos, etc!

reassured me that she "got me" and boy did she ever. from fixing my bouquet to pinning the bouteniers on the guys she did it all. I could just tell by how excited she was getting by the different lightening that she really loved what she was doing and you could tell because it made all the difference. she was so amazing and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture my day for me. book her now, she is seriously amazinggggg. I got one sneak peak and I'm dying about how gorgeous it looks, can't wait to see her work her magic!

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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

e 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!

nvisioned 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!

st. 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 that we have 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 !

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.

edding day for the rest of our lives, both in pictures and video. Images and video are what capture your day so you can look back on the biggest moments of your life, you want them to be perfect and that’s exactly what you’ll get if you hire Katherine and her team!

o whatever we were comfortable with. Can’t wait to work with her again next year for our big celebration!!

seamless from our first email to our last email. She made me feel at ease, like a friend, and confident on my wedding day. Her photos are beautiful, but so is everything she puts into it. Katherine was a huge asset to our day, especially after rescheduling to the backyard due to COVID. She didn’t miss a beat during the reschedule, her timeline actually put me in organization mode, and she was just great. Working with YTK is a must. Not just for the photos, but for everything that goes behind the photos. There is nothing better than getting your photos a few weeks later and being like “wow this is everything and more”.

ople out there that get nervous when thinking about taking pictures of themselves (like us), but Katherine made us feel so comfortable and relaxed. She is an absolute pro and such a wonderful person! She really cares about people and making them feel confident in themselves. You can tell she takes so much pride in her work!

nd 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.

ing cemented the fact that Katherine really understood my vision and was really passionate about what she did. Well, fast-forward a year and half and my husband and I were no longer so organized. We didn't get a chance to do an engagement session, so I was worried doing the photos for the first time on our wedding day would be awkward and disorganized and nothing Katherine and her team could do would fix it. Luckily YTK are pros, and Katherine calmed all of our fears in those last few weeks with thorough plans and timelines. When she and her associate photographer showed up that day everything was handled with incredible ease. Besides making sure we didn't want anymore specific shots and Katherine jumping in to fix my broken bustle with a safety pin, I barely remember seeing them during the reception but we have such incredible candids from that night. I can't think of a single shot I wish we had but don't, and every one is beautiful quality. Plus, she delivered our photos to us right as promised, and has been nothing but enthusiastic and supportive about our wedding. I am so glad we booked YTK, and I would absolutely recommend anyone thinking about it do the same.

munication with Katherine was easy from the beginning, always responded to my emails and questions in a timely matter. The day of our wedding we had a very detailed timeline of the day and Katherine made sure Jim and I had all the pictures we wanted. The thing that stood out to me the most and truly showed her experience in this business was the day of our wedding when my bridesmaids and I were all getting dressed and one of my bridesmaids zipper broke and we were unable to fix it. Obliviously there was a moment of panic but next thing I see, is Katherine pull out a sewing kit filled with all kind of thread and needles along with other useful stuff that one might need. Katherine of course had the thread color of our dresses and started helping sew my bridesmaids in her dress, all while still taking pictures of me and making sure that I was doing ok. (I already knew that I admired her work but after that moment I admired her as a professional and person, it was just an affirmation that we had picked the perfect wedding photographer.) After that everything went perfect and it was all captured by the beautiful pictures we received a couple of weeks later. Thank you YTK Works for everything !!

the perfect person to capture our wedding day. She’s so professional and easy to work with and honestly takes the best photos! She did our engagement session and even though we both felt awkward getting our photos taken she made us feel comfortable right away and the photos came out AMAZING! On the wedding day she kept me calm even though we were behind schedule and she managed to get us back on track so we got all the photos we wanted. She stepped in to help with anything I needed and was just a blessing to have by my side on that day. She went above and beyond and we were so grateful. Our wedding photos are absolutely breathtaking and we love all the candid moments she captured! We’re waiting to get our video from her and we know it’s going to be perfect! Book Katherine and her team, you will not regret it!

ade sure we got pictures w/ all of our guests. We loved doing our engagement shoot with Jessica too! Photographer: Jessica Gregg YTK WORKS Videography: Maya Suchak + Katie Bishop-Tenczar YTK WORKS

good about everything. Leading up to the wedding day, Katherine was great at responding to all our questions and requests and I feel we had so many and she happily responded to it all. On our wedding day at the Diamond Mills in Saugerties, it was her and an associate photographer. Because we had worked out a detailed timeline of the day we understood the flow of everything and knew what to expect including the time, location and who we were set up to pose with, etc. All of that was well thought out. Katherine thought of it all and was even prepared with her own version of a ‘wedding survival kit’! I loved that especially since we all had wedding brain. The setting of our wedding plus her eye for knowing the right shots made for a great day of photo opportunities! After the wedding, we were so excited to see the images and when we did she did not disappoint. Having to narrow down the photos for our wedding album was the hardest and yet so much fun trying to create a story out of the many options we were given. When we received our album I couldn’t stop looking at it! It just brings back those memories of one of our best days of our lives. Katherine is super professional and extremely talented. She’s also a lot of fun making it easy to work with her.

side helping me to create the wedding I had dreamed of. She worked with our (my husband and my own) crazy schedules to allow us to do our couples shoot in NYC, and captured our everyday life in the most real and beautiful way possible- following us from iconic places in Central Park to the underground craziness of the subways! The photos were amazing and we got sooo many compliments from family, friends and even acquaintances! As the wedding got closer we had multiple conversations about planning a timeline that would allow us to do all of the family, bridal party and close friend photographs prior to the start of the ceremony. This took a lot of coordination and patience from Katherine and the YTK team but really helped Sean and I to get to spend time with family and friends on our special day— something that was extremely important to us. On the wedding day, Katherine helped to create the perfect “first look” scenario and used the light to create some gorgeous photos. Most of all, she kept me calm when any part of the day seemed stressful- for example, my husband lost boutonnière and Katherine effortlessly fastened him a new one from one of the bridesmaid bouquets! Basically, I could not recommend YTK photography more. They are an amazingly talented team who really care about their clients and couples and their photographs are gorgeous! There is no one else we would choose to capture our wedding day!

nderful to work with and makes you feel comfortable and beautiful. Our wedding went so smoothly and was everything we hoped for and more. Katherine and her team are quick but also take the time to capture each special moment and its beauty. They went above and beyond to help out in any way they could on the day of the wedding and made sure we were both happy through each step of the way. We have received nothing but compliments from family and friends saying how wonderful they were and you felt like they were just part of the wedding party. We love the YTK family and thank them for everything they have done for us!

ine was a moment in time that I didn't think could be topped. Guess what, she beyond topped that with coming to be a part of my wedding. Katherine isn't just a photographer you hire, she is family. She shares your most memorable day with you and your loved ones and appreciates all the little moments. Someone accidentally stepped on my dress and due to the recent rain there was a large mud stain. Katherine saw how much this bothered me and took me aside in a bathroom and she hand cleaned the mud. Did you catch that she did that by hand? I mean, who do you know that can say their photographer did that for them?! Katherine makes her presence known when you need her the most for direction or moments like that and also quietly captures moments that pass by so quickly on your big day. Katherine was a mother for me when I didn't have one on my wedding day, a friend for me who would do anything to make the day perfect and an outstanding photographer who captures love all around. Katherine and her team are truly warm hearted people who are passionate for what they do, and true hopeful romantics. I could not recommend them more to future couples for engagement and wedding photos.

choice!!! Katherine and her associate Sabrina were incredible-everything from the communication before the big day to the intimate moments on our wedding day. We got married on the beach on Long Island, New York in August 2018. They were kind, respectful and warm, which the staff at our venue and our bridal parties greatly appreciated. They got absolutely stunning shots from the details of our venue and wardrobe, first looks, beach ceremony and indoor reception and so many great candid shots along the way! Our family and friends cannot stop raving about our photos that we used in our thank you a and have been sharing with them. YTK gives you hundreds of photos to choose from and make prints and gifts. Their website is easy to navigate when looking through and sharing photos. My wife and I cannot day enough good things about Katherine. She also shot our surprise engagement two years prior to our wedding day. A rainy day in Albany New York and Katherine’s talent made for beautiful photos that we have framed and on display in our lives. She and her team make you feel so special on your special day and are respectful of your intimate moments while capturing them so beautiful for you’ve to look back on. We recommend YTK Photography whole heartedly.

o the wedding day, we enjoyed every moment of working with YTK. Jess created some really beautiful photos and worked to make sure we felt comfortable during our engagement and wedding shoots. We had a lot of cultural traditions in our wedding and Jess worked to understand them so that her and her team could really capture the important moments. Thanks YTK for your hard work this last year!

ions that complimented it. During our wedding and reception, our guests hardly noticed she was there but yet she captured so many great moments. She was on time, efficient, helpful, and attentive. We also had a photo booth which our guests loved. YTK did a great job designing the background for printed photos and Jessica did a great job managing the booth. We totally recommend YTK Photography + Film.

she was on time and took really beautiful photos, which she turned around much more quickly than we realized. We never noticed the photographers during the event, so they did a great job blending in but still getting all of the photos we wanted. Here's a link to the blog she did after our wedding: https://ytkphotography.com/peter-and-nans-lakota-farm-wedding/

y captured some moments I did not see, such as my husband crying as I walked down the aisle. Katy and Jackie helped make my husband and our bridal party feel at ease. Our wedding day was a bit chilly and Katy was there to offer her jacket in between photos. We cannot wait to see the rest of the sure to be beautiful pictures.

ality. We are very happy with everything! Thank you!!!

ding! We just finished our engagement shoot with her and the pictures came out better than I ever could have imagined! Katherine even turned them around in no time! My finance and I have no idea what to do in front of a camera, but Katherine made it super simple and made us feel natural and comfortable. Also, before our engagement shoot, I was unexpectedly moved to a new state for a new job. I was stressing out so much because all of my wedding planning came to a halt, I was living without my fiance, and trying to figure out new locations for shoots. I was worried about switching locations last minute on Katherine, however, she was SO AMAZING to work with. She didn't make me worry one bit and the change of plans ended up being no big deal. I can't thank her enough for how easy and fun she has made this entire process so far. I cannot wait for our wedding next year!!

at the YTK team was to work with. From the moment I sat in her studio and told her our story about how we met and the vision we wanted for our wedding day, I knew she was going to be an easy vendor choice. During the entire process Katie was attentive to detail, extremely responsive through e-mail and was very accommodating when we wanted to create our own custom wedding package. Along with working with Katie and team on our wedding day, we also chose to do engagement pictures a year prior. When I say my husband wasn’t too keen on the idea of being photographed before this, was an understatement… BUT honestly, after that day, he continued to say how personable, cool, down to earth person he’s ever met – and on top of that felt 1000% more conformable when it came to taking pictures on our wedding day. We CAN NOT wait to see our wedding trailer. We know it will be phenomenal if it’s as beautiful as how our wedding blog came out. I look forward to working with Katie and her team in the future (maybe when we have kiddos someday). Word of advice, if you’re considering YTK as a wedding partner... DO IT, you will not regret it!!
