We had the pleasure of working with Kate Mallender Photography for our small wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Since we didn’t need a full day of coverage, we booked Kate for just two hours, and she tailored everything perfectly to our needs and within our budget. From our first conversation, Kate really took the time to understand what we wanted and made sure everything was exactly as we envisioned.

The photos are absolutely stunning! Kate captured every special moment with such care, from intimate candid shots to posed portraits. She has an incredible talent for making even the smallest moments feel magical, and each image reflects the love and joy of our day.

Kate was also fantastic with our then 6-year-old twins, making them feel comfortable and engaged throughout the shoot. Her patience and warm approach allowed us to get some truly beautiful family photos that we'll cherish forever.

Her professionalism and friendly nature made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. She was attentive but unobtrusive, allowing us to be present in the moment while still ensuring we had every shot we wanted. It was clear she has a true passion for photography, and her creativity really shone through.

We are so grateful for Kate’s work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture the essence of their special day—whether it's a big celebration or a more intimate event like ours. Kate was able to make it all fit perfectly within our budget, and we will treasure these memories forever.

My husband absolutely hates his photo being taken. We did not want to be or our congregation dragged here there and everywhere. Kate’s professionalism made sure we had the best photos for a magnificent day and even my husband was happy 😊

Kate was the photographer for our wedding and since then has done a couple of family shoots for us over the years. She is a fantastic photographer, very professional and friendly with a great eye for detail. Kate always wants to do the best for her clients and we have been delighted with all of her photos. I highly recommend Kate Mallender's services!

Kate put us instantly at ease on our wedding day and made our little intimate ceremony feel so special. The quality of the photos is great and she was just brilliant with our guests and our toddler! The budget package was perfect for us and we still have so many gorgeous photos of our special day. Thank you Kate!

Kate helped make our Wedding Day in York, perfect. Kate was a big part of our day. I have a screen saver of our event and without the pictures i would not have a daily reminder. So lovely too, to have physical albums to share with others.

Kate is very professional, knows her job, is very experienced but importantly she puts everyone at ease with her friendly manner. We’ve used her on a number of occasions for weddings and other family events and it’s always been a stress free, happy experience for everyone. Kate has always listened to all our requests for specific shots but has also taken the trouble to research the venues in advance to be sure she could suggest the best locations for our photos. You won’t realise just how many photographs she has taken until you get the proofs! There is always a great selection of fantastic shots, so you’ll be spoilt for choice. Kate offers a full range of packages which can be tailor-made, from a simple set of photographs to elaborate albums and portraits. We can’t recommend Kate highly enough. You won’t be disappointed!

Kate is an outstanding, extremally talented photographer. She truly captured the magic of our day and we treasure our timeless photographs. She made all of our guests feel comfortable and she managed to take photographs of all our special moments from the start of the day right through to the end. We would not hesitate to recommend her and she is an absolute joy!
