Seeloff Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Derby, NY

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. I have always loved to take photos, so I thought this would be an amazing opportunity to express my passion. ​ Christian started photographing and videographing about four years ago. So, when booking, you may get him or me. If you book both services, you'll have the both of us!

When I had first inquired with Andrea, she was just starting her Photography Business. She never fails to amaze me and my family with her work. We get photos done at least once a year if not more. She is always willing to do any type of sessions even if they seem out of the ordinary. She always has great input on types of photos and poses we do! It is so easy and convenient to book a session, to communicate before a session, and edited photos are sent back like lightning. She will always be my number one choice when it comes to any of my photography needs. My family is so comfortable when we do get photos done which makes the session so much easier and enjoyable. It’s like I’ve known her my whole life! 10/10 recommend for any photography needs!

Welcome to Russell Photography. This is not just my job, but my passion! Your wedding day is as special to me at it is to you! My #1 goal is to give you the most amazing photos for you to have for a lifetime. High quality photos, at an affordable price! Plus, we are going to have fun while doing it!! I bet you do not hire a photographer every day so we understand 100% how the process can be overwhelming. You photographer needs to be fun, personable and most important makes you feel comfortable. If that resonates with you, you have come to the right place. I can't wait to talk to you, get to know you and to hear all of your amazing plans!!

Lisa went above and beyond with every detail. She made sure my dress was positioned properly, she helped my awkward self know what to do when posing, she was so personable, and went the extra mile to keep me comfortable and feeling confident. After I made a comment about “my good side” she made sure I was always posing in ways that emphasized my good side. After receiving my preview I was so happy with how the photos came out. The pictures were clear and vibrant. She even captured candid moments that I will cherish forever. If I had to go back and do it again I would hire her 100 times over!

I'm Ondraea! Wedding photographer based in Buffalo, Ny, but would love to travel! Here at OGP, I strive to create an experience for my couples that goes beyond just taking the traditional ‘must-have’ wedding images. I believe that your gallery should be filled with genuine emotion, joyous laughs, and the intimate moments that take place between you and your loved ones. My job isn’t to just snap photos of your day, but to document each second in a way that allows you to not only relive the moments you remember but allow you to feel as though you were a part of moments you may not even know happened on your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
1000000% recommend!!! I was referred to Ondraea from a co-worker it was by far the best wedding vendor referral we had! She met with me via zoom for an hour to discuss her photography style and what I was looking for. She was a perfect fit and was able to do our engagement photos and wedding photos. Her communication is so on point, she is also super organized (which being type A I totally appreciated!) My, now husband, and I didn’t know a thing about posing but during our engagement session Ondraea walked us through everything and we ended up having a really great time and has so much fun! When it came to the wedding itself, she has a great questionnaire for us to fill out about the day and she was instrumental in helping us plan out the sequence of the day. She helped us navigate the family formal process and list-which was clutch! Having it all planned out in advance made the family pictures seamless. When we got our photos back we loved them!! She is great to work with, makes taking pictures fun, and worked phenomenally with our vendors. Want to try a place she hasn’t been to before? No worries! Ondraea will go in advance and tour, she worked with our wedding coordinator to meet weeks before the wedding at the venue to find the best photo spots! Still on the fence? Check out her blog, her work speaks for itself! We will for sure be booking her again for future milestones and family photos. Thank you so much Ondraea for capturing our engagement and wedding so perfectly! Ps: If you are even thinking of getting wedding album just do it! By far the best investment we made throughout the wedding process. She takes all the guess work out if it and that is so appreciated!! Love, Rebecca and Paul

Hey there, I’m Emily! From intimate to grand weddings, elopements, and all the moments in between, I’m excited to document your marriage journey. I balance the timeless style that you’ll love for years to come, with the artistic eye to capture all the moments in between. I’m there to help guide you to allow your authentic self to shine on camera. I’m based in Buffalo, NY, but so excited to adventure with you wherever your love story takes you. I can’t wait to hear your story!

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily and I have worked together on a number of occasions, and I have always had so much fun and learned a ton! While there are tons of great photographers out there (and Emily certainly stands out as a top-tier photographer), the thing that makes her so incredible is how she is on the day. She has the ability to predict what you need before you need it, keep everything running smoothly, and make the day about you. I remember the first time we worked together, my shoes were giving me blisters so she just pulled out these tiny high-heel bandaids that IMMEDIATELY took all the pressure off and let me work efficiently for the rest of the night! Emily is there when you need her, and in the shadows when you don't. She is professional, kind, and courteous. Ultimately, you really just don't find many other photographers like her. If you're on the fence about it, just hop on a call with her. You'll see for yourself :P

I'm a storytelling photographer specializing in photojournalism inspired weddings. I'm an actual photojournalist too!

When I'm not taking photos you may find me mountaineering, playing an accordion or piano, tending to my tiny house and tiny garden or riding my bike here, there, and ev'ry where. Also, I'm afraid of gum.

I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay as our wedding photographer. She has such a talent for capturing emotion and truly telling the story of your wedding day through her photos. So many of her photos bring me right back to how I was feeling in those moments. She shoots a perfect blend of traditional portraits and the candid "in-between" memories. She captures details and moments that you never even realized she was there to catch. During the formal portraits she does a great job helping you feel comfortable and giving posing directions. However, I truly think she stands apart because of her ability to capture “real” moments and be discreet during parts of the day where she isn't explicitly giving direction, while still getting every aspect you could want (e.g. during the ceremony, dance floor, etc.). She has some angles of our ceremony that I still don’t know how she was able to capture them, we didn’t even notice she was right there! Her work truly speaks for itself. I am so very grateful that we chose her to photograph our wedding and that we have continued to work with her in the years since our wedding for our maternity, newborn and family photos. Lindsay has truly become a friend in the process of being our wedding photographer. I recommend her to all of my friends who are planning their weddings and I look forward to working with her in the future.

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

  • Serves Derby, 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.

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 listened to everything I wanted and made the day so special, never making me feel like I was being shoved into taking more and more pictures. Michelle was simply perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer.
