Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Lisa was very responsive from the first time I reached out to her. Although we never met before the day of the wedding she instantly made me feel comfortable as soon as she arrived. She was great at giving directions and understood my vision for what I wanted my photos to look like! She made sure that every detail was captured and helped us to stay on our timeline.

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.

Lily is absolutely wonderful to work with! We had originally scheduled with her for our wedding last year, but when COVID hit, we had to postpone to summer 2021. Lily was very flexible and understanding of our needs. We had her shoot our small, at-home wedding, and the pictures could not have turned out nicer. We've given several as gifts to our parents and grandparents, and everyone absolutely loved them. Lily also shot and organized our engagement shoot this past fall. My husband and I are not the most natural people in front of a camera, but Lily was great with telling us what to do and where to be. And those photos turned out wonderfully as well! She is always on top of communication - as many engaged couples may know, it is easy to get lost in the many details of planning - and she makes you feel like you are top priority. We can't wait for her to shoot our celebration this summer!

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 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 couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.

Kiran Photography

  • Serves Derby, NY

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!

I have been a wedding photographer for over for over 12 years. My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

I'm a dog-loving, sunflower obsessed, enneagram two, people person. And newly married to the sweetest of sweet husbands.

What can I possibly express with words alone about Abby Arnold and her team? Abby is an exceptional human being and professional. 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. I would hire Abby and her team a million zillion times over, and I think you should too. Give her the opportunity to read your late night emails with all your pinterest inspiration attached. Allow her to soothe your anxieties about not looking tall enough or not knowing how to pose. 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!
