I recently installed Yosemite to find iPhoto was no longer available. I did however discover all my images were on photos and my events were replaced with albums. Sometimes i merge my events but I can't do this with albums. Can this be done?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
I got caught with the same problem. Went to the Apple store to learn that all my named events had permanently lost their titles, all my named pictures had lost their titles too. Currently working my way thru 15 years and 9,800 photos. A warning to all before down loading Yosemite. Wish I hadn't.

Photos does not have events; new libraries are automatically split into moments. But the names of your events have been saved as albums. Look for a folder "iPhoto Events".. For each of your events you should find an album with the same name as the event and the photos from the event.
To restore the titles is more involved. If the titles of the photos have been the filenames, you will find the titles as the filename in the Info panel.
You can copy and paste the filenames to the title field. Or use an Apple Script I posted as a user tip to automatically copy the filenames to the titles.
See: Photos for Mac: Batch Changing the Titles to the Filename
There are two versions. If you are using iCloud Photo Library use version 2.
Another Yosemite problem has shown up: Since installing Yosemite I cannot download photos from my Sony Cyber-shot camera which I have always done in Maverick. Suggestions?

What happens when you try to download? Are you importing directly from the camera or are you using a card reader?
If you want to merge Album A into Album B do the following:
- open the sidebar with the Option+Command+S key combination.
- with the two albums visible in the sidebar click on A
- select all of the photos in A.
- drag them onto the Album B icon in the sidebar to add them to B.
- verify all of the photos are in B.
- delete A from the sidebar.
I am going directly from the camera to the Mac, which is the way I have done it for a long time with out problems. Only change is now I have Yosemite with Photos.
Can albums be merged in photos OS x Yosemite
