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 started using Ondraea as a second photographer and photography assistant at weddings in 2019. We worked together closely and I quickly realized her value. She is always so on top of everything, wanting perfection (like I do), and makes my couples feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has been my personal replacement in emergencies, and my highest recommendation as a main photographer. Her portfolio speaks for itself. She is respectful, trustworthy, kind, observant, and hardworking. She’s the best!

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!

Hello, I'm Jacquelyn. But you can call me Jackie. Ever since I can remember I have been in love with photography. One of my earliest memories was using my dad's instant film camera on a family camping trip, posing all of my dolls in the perfect position to get THE shot.

Jackie was the perfect choice for our wedding! The photos we’ve received so far were exactly what we were looking for. She was so creative and possibly one of the sweetest human beings I’ve met! She was so easy to work with and was pretty much down for anything. If you’re looking for your pictures to feel romantic and timeless, she is your girl!!

I'm a storytelling photographer specializing in photojournalism inspired weddings. I'm an actual photojournalist too! My work has been viewed internationally in publications such as National Geographic, Time, Rolling Stone, People, Reuters, New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Aljazeera, NBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, MSNBC, CBC, Reddit, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Esquire, and more. 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Weddings by Tara

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Gainesville, 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.

Tara came into our lives very serendipitously and we could not have been more relieved or happier that she did! After our own photographer had to cancel on our three-day Indian wedding event a week prior, Tara stepped in and saved the day. I am very detailed oriented so I wanted a photographer who would be able to digest and deliver on the details that were important to us (especially the cultural ones). We had two meetings set up that very week to discuss those details, and Tara embraced all of them in stride. I could tell that she had researched Indian weddings. When Tara showed up to our events it felt like we had been planning with her over the last two years. She is professional, kind, and made her presence at each event very discreet (in the best way). It felt like she was a part of our family all weekend. The photographs are absolutely stunning. We have so many favorites, I’m at a loss as to how to choose which ones to put on the walls or fit them into a single album. Her website is truly representative of the quality of her work. We give Tara our highest recommendation. We will definitely be continuing to have her photograph our family.

Since 2010, I've been connecting with individuals, couples, and their families to capture and create beautiful memories. Whether it was a family session filled with laughs while trying to get the father to smile, a shy senior showing confidence in their senior portrait session, or a beautiful couple saying yes to forever together, I've been there to capture all of the love. I've also worked with a variety of clients such as Canisius College, Fisher-Price, Mattel, Thomas & Friends, the Associated Press, The Guinness Book of World Records, and more.

I’ve known Brianna since my freshman year of college. I fell in love with her work and jokingly told her she would one day be the photographer for my wedding when I wasn’t engaged yet. When I finally found Mr. Right, I booked her right away. Her pricing is amazing, her work is phenomenal. She is so down to Earth and has such a beautiful, authentic personality. My husband hates getting his picture taken as well as attention. Brianna made him feel comfortable and we had so much fun on our special day. She gets so excited about editing your photos as you are to receive them, so expect a quick turn around. She doesn’t rush, she just genuinely loves her work. She balances professionalism with being a kind hearted person. So many photographers can come off as robotic and cold, she is the complete opposite and her communication with you from beginning to the end is awesome as well. Even with a pandemic, she adjusted and made our day feel as normal as it could get even with all of the safety regulations. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s the best!

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!

Love is rare, wild and true. Let me worry about capturing your fleeting moments while you soak up all the good vibes! Im a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Buffalo, NY but I love to travel. Let’s adventure!

Michelle Godfrey Photo's communication was fast, anytime of day or night, which was so helpful during the busy wedding planning process.

Michelle was so attentive - I had almost forgotten my veil and she reminded me, and she made sure to capture all the special moments I love. 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.

Megan was the first photographer that we sat down with to discuss our wedding photography and after that first meeting, we felt zero need to speak with anyone else because we loved her so much. She and her sister photographed our wedding and did a phenomenal job. We received hundreds of photos within 3 weeks of our wedding and we couldn't be happier with them. We can't wait to see them all once they are done being edited. They were a dream to work with and I am so happy we went with Moonshine!
