Lisa Russell blew my expectations out of the water. We went with a package that included an engagement shoot and when we first met her a year before the wedding for that I felt so relieved. She made us feel so comfortable, confident, and made it so much fun. She delivers the most stunning photos and fast too! I was nervous hearing horror stories from weddings where people spent 4,000-5,000 and received maybe 200 photos, took forever and were not the photos they hoped for. When I found Lisa and saw how affordable her packages were I was nervous since it was a good 1,000-2,000 below other photographers I found but when I tell you how thankful I am to have booked her, I mean it. From emails up until the wedding so often, talking to her about my obnoxiously long shot list (sorry Lisa) and overall wedding stress she was my rock through it all. She came in on wedding day and went to town on the most stunning photos and was just the ultimate hype women. She made sure I got all the photos I wanted along with making sure everyone was ready to go for all of them. DO NOT think more affordable pricing than some means lower quality because the quality of service, the close to 1,000 pictures I got back (within a month!!), and the attention to detail was seriously out of this world. I would recommend Lisa to every single bride out there and will be reaching out to her to photograph for all my future life events! https://russellphotography2011.com

Bee Photography was amazing! There’s not one photograph from our wedding day that I dislike. Bridget was down for whatever crazy idea we had for pictures and she was willing to locate to different locations. Bee photography was organized, made taking pictures fun, patient with guests/bridal party/pets, and timely. She even made sure to ask if I had all of the photos I wanted before leaving the event. I will be using Bee Photography again in the future!

I started using Ondraea as a second photographer and photography assistant at weddings in 2019. We worked together closely and I quickly realized her value.

Seeloff Photography was founded in April of 2015, but I, Andrea, have been taking photos and videos my entire life. Seeloff Photography is run by myself, Andrea Seeloff, and my husband Christian.

Kiran Photography

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!

She feels simultaneously like an unknowable entity and a long time friend or family member. She makes her clients feel extremely comfortable while also being so well-organized and accommodating. She has excellent artistic direction. I barely had to do anything, and when I look at my photos I feel like I don't know myself. I have never looked so beautiful, I didn't know I could even take pictures like this! She and her team worked overtime to make all my dreams come true, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. These photos of my family and friends, who are from all over the country, finally all together in one place, will be cherished for the rest of my life.

Watch in awe as she wrangles your unpredictable family members into one beautiful photo you will value for the rest of your days. She is amazingly talented and a great person to be around in general. I will be forever thankful!
