I’m not just your wedding photographer. I’m here to make your life easier. You have one job on your wedding day - to soak in all the love and emotions & to celebrate it all with your family and friends. It should be the BEST. DAY. EVER. When you book with me I become your wedding guru and new BFF 😉 I work hand in hand with you to figure out every detail of your wedding day timeline so your day is easy-peasy and you have stunning photos to remember it by.

“I hired Jaimie to photograph my microwedding in Ellicottville on 9/27/25 after seeing her portfolio on Instagram. My wedding was almost totally DIY, and I had 30 guests. Jaimie and I spoke several times over the course of my wedding planning, and not only did she help me plan photo locations/shotlists, but she truly acted as my unofficial wedding coordinator of her own volition. I cannot stress enough that I couldn't have pulled off such a perfect wedding without Jaimie having been a part of it. Jaimie just sent me sneak peek photos of my day, and I was floored. My father called her extremely talented, my best friends told me they couldn't have imagined better photos in their heads, and my husband says she alleviated all of his concerns on the day by taking charge and helping us to pose for the most romantic shots I've ever seen. Every guest loved her, and I couldn't ask for a more professional and spectacular photographer for capturing the best day of my life. I am 100% going to be hiring her for all of my future professional photoshoots. Thank you Jaimie for going above and beyond to ensure my day was so special.”

Let's create memories together that will last a lifetime. Every wedding is different and I will tailor our services to meet your specific needs.

“We can’t say enough great things about Billy and Katie! From the very beginning, Billy brought such a personal and thoughtful touch to our wedding experience. He reached out proactively during the planning process to make sure everything was set for the big day, offering helpful input and flexibility that made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, both Billy and Katie were absolutely amazing. They were not only timely and professional, but also worked seamlessly with our coordinator to help keep everything running smoothly. They weren’t just behind the camera—they were genuinely helpful, lending a hand wherever it was needed and making the day feel even more special. One of the most impressive touches was that Billy had photos ready and on display at the reception for our guests to enjoy, adding such a thoughtful and unique element to the evening. He also surprised us with a roll of 35mm film photos he took during the day, which captured timeless and nostalgic moments that we will cherish forever. He delivered our full set of photos incredibly quickly, and they came out beautifully—we couldn’t be happier with the results. So many of our guests commented on how great Billy and Katie were—friendly, accommodating, and just a joy to have around. They helped keep the energy up and the timeline on track, all while capturing every special moment. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them as part of our day and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!”

At Buffaluv Soundz, we have redefined commitment to service in the WNY DJ community—combining expert sound, flawless MCing, and personalized attention.

“We had the absolute pleasure of Chris Morris from Buffaluv soundz DJing our wedding this July. Everything from the initial consultation to the last hours he was there cleaning up his equipment was a great experience in which we felt true dedication from him and his team towards making our day perfect. They were extremely down to earth and easy to work with. Chris helped personalize so many touches within our day from a unique first dance to hyping our folks up for the dance floor. He was so extraordinarily professional arriving very early to set up and make sure everything was perfect and checking in with us in regard to all sorts of details that really brought our dreams to reality. I can’t say enough about what a difference it made to have such an attentive to detail and caring person in charge of the sound, music and overall vibe of our wedding day. There was nothing generic, boring or overdone and every moment felt like it was truly ours. Chris is the best! I would recommend him to everyone! we went with a package that included the Photo Booth and Cloud effect for the dance floor which made our first dance so fire! Everyone really loved the Photo Booth. They had great props and backgrounds and they even gave us a photo album filled with our guest pics. That was an awesome surprise at the end of the night. Lastly, I just have to add, I was worried about DJ equipment and the look of it and the whole set up that Chris brought was gorgeous modern white, clean and elegant. We were so impressed! It really added to our aesthetic perfectly. Overall, they were just an absolute 10 out of 10 and made our wedding a fairytale come true!”

Jade creates well rounded events for her couples because she understands every aspect from behind the scenes to center stage. These skills combined with her empathetic nature puts couples to ease knowing they've been heard and their vision will be fulfilled.

“We’re based in Boston and planned our Rochester wedding from the distance, so having someone local was essential — and Jade was everything we needed and more! As someone who’s very organized, I mainly wanted a planner who could take the stress off on the big day. Jade went above and beyond to make sure that happened. She was kind, patient, and incredibly helpful — especially when I was indecisive or overwhelmed. She guided us through timeline decisions, managed last-minute changes, and always stayed calm and reassuring. She also helped us book amazing vendors — including our florist, DJ, and transportation — and was super mindful of our budget. She even included thoughtful touches like sparklers and signs without extra charges. On the wedding day, she quietly handled everything, even helping my sister-in-law when she wasn’t feeling well. Her presence was steady, warm, and exactly what we needed. We’re so grateful for Jade and would absolutely recommend her to anyone — especially if you’re planning from afar or want someone who truly cares about making your day feel special.”

Social Maven specializes in creating unique and beautiful events in Buffalo, NY and beyond. From the flowers to favors, we strive to bring an extra dose of flair, fun, and sophistication to each event we touch - whether it’s an intimate dinner party, a social event, or a wedding for 300.

“My partner and I began our journey with Syrie as our wedding planner back in the fall of 2020, and we can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We started with a selected venue but little else. Syrie, with her organized approach and expertise, transformed our vague ideas into a stunning wedding reality. She took our abstract descriptions and envisioned a day that was far beyond what we thought we wanted – it was what we dreamed of. Despite our extended planning cycle, Syrie was a constant presence, always checking in to ensure that our preparations were on track. As a couple living in New York City, we appreciated having local "boots on the ground" throughout the planning process. Her deep connections within the Buffalo wedding industry became priceless when our original our venue, Hotel Henry, unexpectedly shut down. Syrie saw the writing on the wall weeks before their fall and organized tours of alternative venues – a task outside our agreed-upon package. We ended up choosing The Admiral Room, a venue we hadn't initially considered, but it turned out to be a gem. Its grandeur resonated with us perfectly – yet another testament to Syrie's understanding of our tastes and preferences. Syrie's expertise also shone when it came to vendor selection. She provided a plethora of options for each service, letting us evaluate different styles and approaches. Each vendor we chose delivered impeccable service, with a special shout-out to Tori Vee who created an extraordinary musical ambiance. Syrie is an impressive organizational powerhouse. Having her as our planner allowed us to focus on savoring every moment of our special day. Her efficient staff resolved a minor hiccup with a vendor within half an hour – we barely noticed it had happened. Our experience with Syrie was nothing short of magnificent. She guided us through a daunting process with grace, expertise, and foresight. Syrie not only saved us from potential disaster but helped create a day that was even more beautiful than we could have imagined. We enthusiastically recommend Syrie.”

I create high energy percussive DJ performances for those who value the entertainment as the highest priority. Every wedding is the SuperBowl, planning is the heart and soul of my process, and no detail is left to chance.

“Your DJ is one of the most important vendors you’re going to choose. They run the entire flow of the night, help influence the energy level, they’re hosting the party through introductions & transitioning events throughout the night. Michael is focused on making every detail perfect; from planning every last detail with you, to MAKING SURE the day of the flow of your night goes perfectly. Our guests have non-stopped talked about Michael from our wedding. If you want a ton of excitement, with a feel of live music entertainment, you HAVE to book Michael. He truly is worth every penny, not to mention he’s the nicest guy on earth. There were guests at my wedding getting married this year who were begging their significant other to let Michael do their wedding!!! Booking Michael for our wedding was hands down the best decision we made, and he truly made our experience 10,0000 times better than I could’ve imagined. The energy, the personal touch, the “mix” (we told him we did not want back to back songs playing & he mixed the CRAP out of our music it was AMAZING). Incredible. He is truly phenomenal, and the best part is he’s so passionate about what he does. I could literally go on forever. BOOK MICHAEL FOR YOUR EVENT. It will literally be the best party of your life, I promise you!! He will make sure your day is perfect. Michael - THANK YOU for making our wedding day perfect. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! I cannot recommend you enough. We literally love you so much!”

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.

“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

Fine art style

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.”

“I originally booked with Casey Carminati (Buffalo Boho Bridal) and I decided to cancel. That’s a story in its own right lol but thankfully Liz was available. She was totally down with whatever I was comfortable with. I’m extremely particular with my hair, knew exactly what I wanted and even debated doing it myself but she was super patient with me and didn’t push back whatsoever. She did 7 girls hair and everyone looked beautiful and their hair held up so well. We were done getting ready earlier than we needed to be too, which was GREAT. It gave me some time to see and relax before getting dressed. If you need someone easy to work with on top of being talented and DEPENDABLE, she’s your girl! My ONLY regret was not having her add MORE curls. I do a TON of layers when I do my hair and I wish she curled it like I do when I style my hair for more volume, but that’s personal preference and I never communicated it to her since I didn’t think of it until after when looking at pics! But my hair lasted ALL NIGHT even through of hours of dancing like crazy lol”

All I can say is that we had him perform at our wedding and people would come up to us and tell us they thought we had Dean Martin playing on the speakers until Nick came near their table and say him singing. Just the ultimate performer. We had him for our wedding dinner hour and it was one of the highlights of our wedding. So good that we had him at my sisters wedding and other events. Not only is his singing and performances top notch, him and his wife Paula are great to work with.

Lauren is absolutely wonderful to work with. She has a calm, professional presence and goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly, not only for the couple but also for the vendors. It is rare to find someone so attentive to every detail while also keeping the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. She makes my job easier, and most importantly, she ensures the couple gets to fully enjoy their day without stress. If you are planning a wedding in Buffalo, The Westin is an incredible choice. Between the beautiful spaces and the dedicated team, you will be in great hands.”

“Resurgence Brewing Co. was an incredible venue for our wedding. From the moment we started planning, Brigid and Conner were quick to respond, incredibly kind, and super helpful with all of our questions and last-minute details. The simple but beautiful space, with its wooden tables and fairy lights, perfectly captured the intimate and rustic vibe we were going for. I trusted that the setup would complete the vision I had, and the staff made it happen seamlessly. The food was also a huge hit with our guests - many of them raved about how great it was.
