I moved to Buffalo, NY about 6 years ago. Why Buffalo? Because my wife grew up here. I was born and raised in Münster, Germany and lived most recently in Vienna, Austria. I worked as a journalist for financial newspapers, websites and magazines. I wrote mainly about tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, Google among other things. As part of my job I was exposed to photography and filmmaking and discovered a passion. It didn’t take long for family and friends to ask me to photograph their weddings. I realized how much fun it was to be part of such an emotional day which you remember for a lifetime.

Our venue, The Chalet at East Hill Creamery, completed in 2017, is an impressive example of local craftsmanship with Alpine influences.

Featuring Amish post-and-beam construction in red oak, hemlock, and white pine and huge colonial windows, our venue offers a lovely balance of woodsy charm and modern sophistication.

For me, photography is not just a job, its a passion. It is knowing that when you are behind the lens you have the ability to give not only your clients, but generations to come the ability to look through an album or see a canvas hanging on the wall and be able to re-live that exact moment. It is being able to smell your newborns skin and feeling their heartbeat against your chest, hearing your children laugh as they play in the leaves, feeling your husbands arms wrapped around you during your first kiss as husband and wife!

I am creative at heart. A hustle hard and give 100% for you, kinda girl. My second shooter? That would be my husband Marc who has been voted (by me) most likely to make anyone laugh until they cry. It’s no big surprise that witty banter is what drew Marc and I together, and I couldn’t ask for a better husband. (Plus, he’s pretty hot so there’s that.) As photographers, we draw inspiration from gorgeous florals, stunning details, and historical architecture, but what inspires us the most is the love and connection between our couples. I mean, isn’t that what it’s really all about? Photographs that make your heart flutter and tell your story.

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!
