Hi! My name is Lily and I am the founder and head photographer at Lily Catherine Photography. My business focuses on capturing the best in whoever is in front of the camera. I shoot 15-20 Weddings, 10-20 Engagements, 5-10 Family and a handful of real estate jobs every year. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my husband and three children.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lily was my photographer for my October wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was so easy to work with, great communication from the time we inquired her services until the day of the wedding. She worked with all the questions and concerns we had regarding her safety, ours, and our guests. She was early on our wedding day, she posed and directed us as we asked and expected her to do (on our wedding day and for our engagement photos). She found creative places near our venue for beautiful photos, which she had scooped out ahead of time. We, and our friends and family, were over whelmed by the beautiful photos she took. They are truly something we will treasure for our lifetime.

We were thrilled with The Gallagher as our wedding venue. Their communication throughout the planning process was clear, direct, and thoughtful. The venue itself is stunning and they were very accommodating to make our vision a reality. Our day-of coordinator Jenna was fantastic - she made sure everything ran smoothly so my husband and I could relax and enjoy our special day. Guests raved about how beautiful the venue was and how delicious the food was. Even though it was a hot July day, The Gallagher kept us comfortable with their climate control. At the end of the night, they cleaned up and packed everything to go home with us. I would highly recommend The Gallagher to any couple looking for a beautiful, accommodating venue with superb staff to help you pull off the wedding of your dreams.

I just wish we could relive our wedding day over and over again, even thought that isn’t possible I feel that I can every time I look at our wedding photos from Bee Photography. Bridget from Bee Photography is very professional. I would say this is also a major perk as well jf your husband is anything like mine and has a short attention span when it comes to any sort of photos, Bee photography made that process quick, easy and simple for my husband.

Marygold Manor is a family-owned wedding venue conveniently located just outside of Buffalo, New York in Cheektowaga. Since 1969, the Urbanski family has been an integral part of countless wedding celebrations in their uniquely well-rounded event spaces that suit couples looking for elegantly designed receptions, industrially decorated parties or sleek and modern cocktail hours. There are four venue options at Marygold Manor, including an on-site garden with pergola for your ceremony and intricately decorated banquet rooms designed to accommodate anywhere between 100 to 500 guests for a seated dinner. Couples can choose between lush outdoor and cozy indoor spaces that best fit the theme of their wedding. This venue also offers a bridal suite.

  • Has a dance floor to dance the night away
  • Versatile for various event styles
  • Provides setup and cleanup

Venue considerations

  • Does not allow pets
  • No free parking
  • Not for you if you are looking for something nontraditional
Where do I begin with how ecstatic we were with our wedding experience with Marygold Manor?! Let's start from our first encounter with Marygold. I emailed the venue inquiring about dates and details for our wedding. Jeremy, the owner, responded back so quickly and was willing to work with us to come in and meet him and see the venue. He was so professional, helpful, open, and understanding. It was an easy choice. Marygold Manor is where our wedding had to be. Jeremy was so easy to work with and even met with us multiple times before the wedding to finalize all the details. Besides Marygold having a beautiful facility and being in a central location (near the airport and thruway) for our guests to easily travel to, the venue also offers unbelievably, amazing wedding deals. We chose the "Ultimate Wedding Package" with 100 guests. Literally, they do everything for you! You can pick and choose of course, if you would like to bring in outside options (like your own DJ, centerpieces, etc.), but why would you when they do such a wonderful job at taking care of everything! So much less stress on the bride and groom. Our officiant, DJ, photographer, videographer, and photo booth were all included. They also take care of your centerpieces, linens, lighting, and card box. And as for your food.... chef's kiss! They provided a variety of appetizers for cocktail hour, cooked a delicious, delectable dinner of filet mignon and chicken piccata, and even had extra treats for later in the night; a chocolate fondue fountain and mini pulled pork sliders! And... they even did our cake! I brought in decor for them to add to the cake, and they made my vision come true. And don't worry, if you have any dietary restrictions, Marygold has a vegetarian, gluten free dinner option as well. Plus, we had a 5 hour top shelf bar! A-MAZ-ING! Since we chose the wedding package, we saw how Jeremy and his staff are a well-oiled machine. From the officiant, to the photographer, to the kitchen staff and the servers, everyone worked so well together and knew exactly what to do and followed our schedule to a tee. Jeremy was also our DJ, so he understood our taste in music and knew exactly what to play and when to play it. He blew me away when he added the song, "Be Our Guest" at dinner time, since our theme was based on "Beauty and the Beast". That was the cherry on top! I could go on and on about how personable and talented our photographer, Bruce was. I could explain how on point and perfect our officiant was. I could continue to explain how hardworking and awesome Jeremy was. I could talk your ear off about how the Marygold staff really can make your special occasion even more special than you could every imagine. If you need more convincing, please check out Marygold's website and call today. You won't regret it! We are so overwhelmingly happy that we chose Marygold Manor as our venue for our wedding. We will never forget how they helped us make it an unforgettable, fantastic, epic night! THANK YOU MARYGOLD!

Meet Keirstan and Keante Rodriguez! We are the husband-and-wife wedding planning team, who fell in love with planning during the time of planning our own wedding. We share 3 beautiful children together and reside in a small town in Niagara County, NY. As a child, I was your typical young girl always watching Jennifer Lopez in "The Wedding Planner" thinking how cool it would be to one day have the same career, flash forward to 2021 we made it official and started our journey! We knew from experience that wedding planning could be extremely stressful and could get very expensive.

Awarded Best of Zola
As a bride who did not grow up thinking about her dream wedding and loathes the thought of being the center attention and planning parties, I quickly decided a destination wedding to somewhere amazing was a must and Niagara Falls was that destination. Being from California and knowing there was no chance of a wedding actually happening if the {now} Husband and I were left to our own planning devices, the search for a wedding planner began. KR Events & Designs were one of two planners we talked to and fell in love with their vibes immediately! I didn’t have a lot of ideas outside of wanting the ceremony at Terrapin Point, an all vegan menu and no first dance at the reception. When we found out we wouldn’t be able to get the table games we originally wanted (shuffleboard, pool, foosball, etc.) because they wouldn’t fit in the elevator, they found giant board games for us instead. With that and a few ideas we sent over from Pinterest, Keirstan absolutely killed it! I’m positive any future events we have will now have to be done in Niagara Falls

We worked with Syrie and the Social Maven team for our wedding this September and could not be more grateful for the time, care, and thought they put into our event. We worked closely with Syrie for a year and half to plan our wedding in my parents’ backyard. Syrie and her in team, in conjunction with our incredible vendors (all recommendations of Syrie’s) turned our backyard into a stunning and intimate venue for a wedding. We were fully present and able to spend time with our loved ones and each other on the day, all thanks to Syrie. Despite a very rainy morning, Syrie’s team made a beautiful outdoor evening ceremony and cocktail hour possible. Syrie always advocated for us throughout the process, and prioritized the comfort and enjoyment of our guests as well (which was very important to us). The planning process was largely stress-free, enjoyable, and our wedding was even better than we could have imagined. Rest assured that Syrie, her team, and the vendors she recommends will make your event memorable, personable, and beautiful down to every last detail. THANK YOU Syrie and the Social Maven team.

Primo essentially planned our whole wedding in terms of how the order of events went and provided all the additional vendors with a schedule of events. All of our calves hurt like crazy after dancing the night away!! Primo had our guests on the dance floor all night and he had to literally ask people to leave so we could do our last dance alone and then the sparkler exit. I cannot recommend Primo enough and will be sure to use him for any future events that we have. Primo is a true professional for his age and you would never guess he is still in college!!! Amazzing!!!

Being the photographer, I have a lot to think about and be prepped for and Kellyannher team were such a comfort to have around. They were attentive, kind, so soo helpful, and just a great group of ladies to work with. My couple's wedding day went seamless and I know it's because of the Scarlett Agency!

For the past decade, I have worked tirelessly to hone my craft to create beautiful moment based compositions. Stories are what drive me each and every day. Life is a story, let me be a part of telling yours. My desire to visit anywhere and everywhere makes me the perfect candidate for your big adventure! Near or far, I am always excited to travel to you for your moments big or small.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sarah is incredible - she's the kind of person you WANT at your wedding, birthday, family gathering, party. She is so professional, her photographs are incredible and she's got a great sense of humor. Not only have we had the pleasure of asking Sarah to capture milestones in our life (wedding, child, dog), we have also gotten to see her work at many of our close friends weddings. Sarah makes you feel entirely comfortable whilst being photographed, and all of her directives are clear and concise. She always puts the bride/groom first and I'm always amazed by her calm demeanor at the often-times very busy wedding ceremonies and receptions. When you hire Sarah, you're going to know that on the day she is going to capture exactly what you want. When she sends you the sneak peak, you're going to be blown away, and when she gives you the password for ALL of your photos, it will put a huge smile on your face because you'll realize that somehow, Sarah really did capture in photos exactly what your celebration felt like on the day.

Weddings by Tara

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Akron, NY

The beautiful moments that we share with others are those that make our lives rich and meaningful. Being truly present with people and using the camera to share their essence is what I'm all about. For over 10 years I have been honored to photograph weddings for couples from around the world. It is a joy to be a part of each one of them as every moment of the day is brimming with a certain golden, shimmering happiness. I am committed to telling the story of your love, naturally and elegantly.

When we were researching photographers for our wedding, I wanted to find someone whose photos told a beautiful story from start to finish. I found Tara through raving reviews online and after our initial meeting, she made her way out to Washington DC to shoot our engagement pictures. One pandemic and a full calendar year and some change later, we met again for our wedding day in Cleveland, Ohio. Words cannot express how wonderful Tara and Matt were. Tara's serene demeanor and Matt's easy-going personality made our wedding day a breeze. I very distinctly remember calling her two days before to iron out last-minute changes on my part and telling her how much calmer I was just hearing her voice. Tara has a way of capturing memories in the most beautiful way. Her photos are not only gorgeous, but looking at one single photo, she captures the energy and emotion in that moment. It's very clear she takes much pride in her work and treats her clients as family. There is no one else Jonathan and I would trust to capture the most precious and important memories in our lives than Tara.

He proceeded to communicate with me efficiently and promptly when needed and was supportive of ALL of our decisions re: music, dances etc. We had DJ Paul and he did NOT disappoint. He kept the party upbeat, played all our favorite songs as asked, took a few fun requests and helped organize group photos when needed. He stayed late cleaning up, was polite, fun and overall a pleasure to work with. There was a fun and easy worksheet to fill out and we had one meeting with Paul beforehand. Most communication was thru text. Would highly recommend Buffaluv as a local DJ for your event!! Great people.

I’ll be the first to say I never thought I’d be here doing this. The day after I received my Bachelors in Science degree, I picked my childhood camera back up again and realized how effortlessly photography came to me. I was asked to do 2 weddings that year.. which turned into the 25 a year I do now... and I never looked back. Almost a decade later, I've worked in places like the tropical beaches of Puerto Vallarta to the serene rolling hills of Italy and everywhere in between, my one primary goal has remained to document love in the most authentic way.

Kiran is THE BEST couples photographer in the WNY area! We found her wedding photography page on Instagram while searching for Buffalo photographers. What we LOVE most about Kiran’s work is that her style of editing is true to tone, which is extremely important to us as a mixed and interracial couple. From the beginning Kiran made us feel cared for and was detailed with what we could expect throughout the process, which put our minds at ease during the day of. Kiran made us feel confident and comfortable while capturing all the special and intimate moments. She was so much fun to work with and the quality of her work shows throughout our gallery. We would recommend Kiran to everyone looking for a wedding/couples photographer and we are looking forward to working with Kiran again for as our destination photographer!

Choosing Samuel’s as our venue was the best decision we ever made. Right from the beginning we fell in love with the space, we even moved our wedding date up from October to August so we could take full advantage of the outdoor fountain bar. There are no words to be able to fully describe how wonderful working with Mark was – he answered all of our questions, took us on as many tours as we wanted, and really made us feel confident in our decision. The planning process was very stress-free on our end which made it so much easier to enjoy. Renea was our captain on the day of and thanks to her everything ran so smoothly and on schedule. She took my scribbles of centerpieces and transformed the space into something more beautiful than I could have imagined. I spent the whole day on-site thanks to the beautiful bridal suite, which helped our timeline significantly, and provided a quiet space to be able to relax and take in every moment. Bonus – there was a groom’s suite as well! Samuel’s worked seamlessly with our other vendors as well and we were able to drop off our items earlier in the week so there was one less thing to worry about the weekend of. Then there was the food – absolutely incredible. From the cocktail hour appetizers to the main courses, everything was perfectly timed and delicious. They even accommodated our request to have some of the cocktail hour appetizers brought to the bridal suite so we could have a moment to ourselves and enjoy the food as well. We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding day and we owe it all to the team at Samuel’s!
