When I'm not capturing beautiful moments, you'll find me savoring fine wine and crafting to my heart's contentment.

Awarded Best of Zola
I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I pride myself on being able to work with couples of all backgrounds and cultures. I am outgoing, energetic and have a true passion for documenting your day. Each wedding tells a unique story and it is my job to tell your story. I have been photographing weddings for over 6 years . Prior to that I worked weddings as a 2nd photographer and an assistant to several regional photographers. I felt that by working with several different companies I was able to gather experience from several perspectives. I shoot with the Nikon series of cameras and Lens. During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

Elopement & Wedding photographer in the beautiful Upstate NY. We love sophisticated, stylish and romantic vibes, as well as rustic and adventureful days. We travel throughout the northeast and the mountain ranges of the ADK. In addition to capturing the traditional wedding photos, luxury high-end wedding photography services often include a range of extra features, such as engagement photo shoots, bridal portraits, boudior and even aerial drone photography. These services can help to create a truly unique and personalized experience that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Amanda from Golden Heart Studios was the photographer for our wedding in August, 2023. Before the wedding day we discussed the schedule and the look we were going for in our photos and Amanda went above and beyond to give us what we were looking for. She was great with directing us, the wedding party, and family to pose for photos and really thought through where she would be at different parts of the ceremony to make sure that she got beautiful shots. She was especially good at getting the little kids to look at the camera. The editing of the photos was also exactly what we were looking for. My only regrets are that I didn't schedule more time and that I didn't have a more detailed schedule for my family when it came to photos. On the wedding day itself, it was a bit like herding cats. But Amanda was very helpful, cooperative, and creative and made it work anyway! The pictures looked great and she really captured the atmosphere of the ceremony and reception!

  • Serves Forestport, NY

I am just a bubbly extrovert with a serious love for love & ice cream. Growing up, my dream job was to become a wedding planner. The wedding scene fascinated me! Thankfully, my lack of organizational skills shifted me away from that and directed me towards photography instead. Photographing a wedding day is one of my greatest joys, and I truly believe it's what I was made to do. I'm here to hold your hand when you're nervous, pin boutonnieres when no one else knows how, and to give you images that are timeless, romantic, authentic.

Lauren Victoria Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and made us feel like their top priority. Their communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding was seamless. The final photos they delivered were nothing short of incredible - their creativity and artistic eye shone through in every shot, perfectly capturing the genuine emotions and effortless moments of our special day. We were thrilled to receive our full gallery in a very timely manner, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding day. We cannot recommend Lauren Victoria Photography highly enough for any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photography team to help document their big day.

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever.

Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

We really could not be happier with Rich and his second shooter for our big day! He was professional and fun, and already delivered a ton of preview photos even though our wedding was a few days ago. We're so excited to see the film photos as well. He was willing to go along with some of our more time-consuming schemes (first look on top of a ski hill) and still managed to keep us on track.

Melissa is amazing! My mom’s wedding was Melissa’s first about 8 years ago, my family and I have been cheering her on ever since! When I got engaged I knew immediately who I was going to call for our photos! A total bonus an engagement shoot was included in her wedding package!! She was absolutely amazing to work from start to finish. Great communication the entire time, very helpful and very good under pressure. A few things did not go our way on our wedding day due to weather and time but Melissa immediately had an idea on what to do instead. To add, she’s also an amazing hype woman behind the camera and definitely helped our smiles shine on our wedding day. I would give her 100 stars if I could!!

They were unobtrusive and respectful, but also knew how to direct us and our guests to get the best shots. When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away.

Hello, I'm Kayla! Voted most likely to succeed in the field of agriculture. Yet somehow, landed here. And I wouldn't change a single thing. Life has taken me on some crazy adventures and up until 6 years ago, none of those pointed to being a photographer. Becoming a mom led me to pick up a camera and since then I haven't put it back down. I quickly developed a passion for telling people's stories. Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

Kayla French Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful. Kayla's work is absolutely amazing - you can tell she loves what she does and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured. Kayla helped in every way to contribute to our special day, and our guests really enjoyed her presence and positive energy. We are thrilled with the sneak peaks and can not wait to see final photos.

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

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

My portfolio is a canvas that dances with diversity – a rich tapestry woven from both film and digital techniques. Embracing new trends and technologies, I blend the nostalgic allure of film with the precision of digital artistry, resulting in a mesmerizing fusion that speaks to the modern soul. Whether it's the classic charm of analog or the cutting-edge allure of pixels, my work resonates with a richness that only true connoisseurs can appreciate.

We had the privilege of working with Anna and it was such a wonderful experience! Anna’s photography style is so editorial and unique that we couldn’t believe how lucky we got finding her! Our photos came out absolutely beautiful! Everyone deserves to get their photos taken of this caliber at least one time in life and there’s no one better I’d recommend for the job than Anna Shastie Photography! It's truly a lifetime investment. Well worth it!!

Toxic Waste Photo delivers every time. The photographer is very pleasant, positive, and easy to work with. It's a must for someone like me, who can feel insecure when photographed, which was a fear for my wedding day. Working with Toxic Waste made that fear a thing of the past and I'm so thrilled with how everything went. I also really enjoy how their photo style is stylized with a lot of personality - it made my photos feel more unique and exciting. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

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 have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

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

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!

Hello, my name is Patrick and I am the Owner of PB and J Studios. I started photographing as a hobby about 12 years ago, while I was also a stunt man and stilt walker for the theme parks, I even got to play Indiana Jones at Disney back in the day! After teaming up with my partner Jonathan, I grew Patrick Buckley Images into PB and J Studios where we started to develop a team of highly skilled, passionate creators like myself. We have years of experience with photo/video and have been very blessed to have received "Best of Wedding Photography" awards in the last few years, with over 50 five star reviews.

They know how to use their cameras. And they know how to use them to reduce the need for over photoshopping photos. Simple.

​I began photography in early 2015 by offering a few free sessions. Soon my business grew and I was booking numerous family and children photography sessions each month. In the summer of 2015 I began photographing weddings by offering to photograph a wedding for free and now I have seen my business grow from a few weddings a year to being fully booked with weddings nearly every weekend! In 2019 I decided to turn something I was passionate about into my full-time job. Many of my weddings are booked through "word of mouth" from some of my amazing clients! I am located in Rotterdam, NY and I travel in NY, VT, and MA for weddings.

Melanie with Always in Focus Photography was a joy to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style is very prompt, responding to emails and calls quickly, which was much appreciated during the hectic wedding planning process. Melanie takes her time with each shot, is very patient, and comes up with lots of creative ideas to capture the perfect moments. On our wedding day, she was amazing - capturing every important shot while never getting in the way of the event. The turnaround time for receiving our final edited photos after the wedding was faster than expected. Overall, Melanie is a talented, thoughtful photographer who helps document all the special moments of your wedding day. We'd highly recommend Always in Focus Photography to any engaged couple looking for a photographer who prioritizes communication and delivers beautiful, creative work.
