I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

From our first interaction, Sean and his team at Portraits By Sean were prompt, personable, and clear in their communication. Their exceptional, professional, and quick work captured the essence of our special day perfectly. Sean was laid back and brought great energy to our wedding, seamlessly capturing all the important moments without ever being intrusive. We had nothing but a positive and truly exceptional experience working with Sean from start to finish. Not only were our photos top-notch, but he took the time to get to know us as a couple and was able to beautifully document all the candid, unscripted moments that made our wedding day so memorable. I'd give Sean 10 stars if I could!

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.

Weddings by Tara 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Chautauqua, 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.

Tara came into our lives very serendipitously and we could not have been more relieved or happier that she did! After our own photographer had to cancel on our three-day Indian wedding event a week prior, Tara stepped in and saved the day. I am very detailed oriented so I wanted a photographer who would be able to digest and deliver on the details that were important to us (especially the cultural ones). We had two meetings set up that very week to discuss those details, and Tara embraced all of them in stride. I could tell that she had researched Indian weddings. When Tara showed up to our events it felt like we had been planning with her over the last two years. She is professional, kind, and made her presence at each event very discreet (in the best way). It felt like she was a part of our family all weekend. The photographs are absolutely stunning. We have so many favorites, I’m at a loss as to how to choose which ones to put on the walls or fit them into a single album. Her website is truly representative of the quality of her work. We give Tara our highest recommendation. We will definitely be continuing to have her photograph our family.

Since 2010, I've been connecting with individuals, couples, and their families to capture and create beautiful memories. Whether it was a family session filled with laughs while trying to get the father to smile, a shy senior showing confidence in their senior portrait session, or a beautiful couple saying yes to forever together, I've been there to capture all of the love. I've also worked with a variety of clients such as Canisius College, Fisher-Price, Mattel, Thomas & Friends, the Associated Press, The Guinness Book of World Records, and more.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’ve known Brianna since my freshman year of college. I fell in love with her work and jokingly told her she would one day be the photographer for my wedding when I wasn’t engaged yet. When I finally found Mr. Right, I booked her right away. Her pricing is amazing, her work is phenomenal. She is so down to Earth and has such a beautiful, authentic personality. My husband hates getting his picture taken as well as attention. Brianna made him feel comfortable and we had so much fun on our special day. She gets so excited about editing your photos as you are to receive them, so expect a quick turn around. She doesn’t rush, she just genuinely loves her work. She balances professionalism with being a kind hearted person. So many photographers can come off as robotic and cold, she is the complete opposite and her communication with you from beginning to the end is awesome as well. Even with a pandemic, she adjusted and made our day feel as normal as it could get even with all of the safety regulations. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s the best!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do.

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!

We live to photograph all that matters to you with a vision that’s creative, unique and personal; as special as the time you share with your loved ones, forever captured to keep & share always.

Megan was the first photographer that we sat down with to discuss our wedding photography and after that first meeting, we felt zero need to speak with anyone else because we loved her so much. She and her sister photographed our wedding and did a phenomenal job. We received hundreds of photos within 3 weeks of our wedding and we couldn't be happier with them. We can't wait to see them all once they are done being edited. They were a dream to work with and I am so happy we went with Moonshine!
