“There are special individuals that when you watch them work you can tell how passionate they are, how much they enjoy what their doing, and it translates into the quality of their work - Billy is one of these people. Billy ended up being the only photographer we met with and based on our meeting, how organized, experienced, and simply his vibes, we did not hesitate to book him right away. Leading up to our wedding, Billy met with us to go over our timeline and gave us some great advice (remember to leave time to eat!), which we incorporated into our day and we're so glad we did. Billy's platform is easy to navigate and extremely transparent in terms of what his style is and what he delivers. On the day of our wedding, Billy was kind, funny, extremely communicative and honestly was the one who kept our timeline going. He knows exactly when to give direction and when to let the moments naturally happen. Billy does not only bring his photography, but an experience with special features he provides to his couples. We are extremely happy with our photos and couldn't have asked for a better photographer, as well as someone who helped make it the best day of our lives. It truly left an impression on us and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who is looking for photographer/videographer!”

Stefan Ludwig Photo + Video 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Buffalo, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

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.

“From the start, Stefan was very detail-oriented and attentive. We used him for two cultural events and one reception. He was very communicative and understanding. As a couple that is not comfortable in the spotlight, Stefan worked well with our insecurities and our cultural nuances. He was incredibly creative with small spaces, multiplae locations, and using props found around the spaces. He shot the two events alone and added Adam for teh reception. They were both able to adapt quickly due to some unforeseen rain and rolled with the punches of different cultural expectations. We never felt awkward, but felt stunning and feel the photos showed how truly happy we were on that day.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“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.”

I'm all about capturing genuine connections in stunning environments for a photography experience and final gallery that feels like you, and will invoke a sense of nostalgia for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I spent countless hours searching through wedding photographer portfolios before I found Emily, and the moment I saw her work, I knew she was the perfect fit. Her ability to capture genuine, natural moments while highlighting the beauty of the surrounding landscape immediately stood out. We got married outdoors in the middle of winter in Vermont, and Emily embraced the adventure with incredible creativity. She captured the snowy scenery in a way that felt ethereal and almost otherworldly. Every photo is stunning, and we honestly had a hard time choosing a favorite. Working with Emily was effortless. I never had to send inspiration photos or Pinterest boards because she understood my vision better than I did. She guided us through each pose with ease, making us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. If you're looking for a photographer who has an incredible creative eye, embraces adventure, and captures authentic, meaningful moments, I couldn't recommend Emily more. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we'll cherish these photos forever!”

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 couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.”
