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.

Stefan Ludwig Photo + Video 
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.

I'm an Upstate NY based wedding photographer with 14 years and 400 weddings of experience. This business supports all people and believes that bodily autonomy is a fundamental right. Equality matters. Black Lives Matter. Trans & Womens rights are human rights. Science is real. No human is illegal. Love is love. Period.

....so we can hire Nicole again! Hands down, hiring Nicole was the best decision we made (after deciding to marry each other). From day one, she put us totally at ease, and was great to communicate with (including panicked emails where I changed my mind many times). As an LGBT couple, we encountered many vendors in the wedding planning process who didn't seem supportive, but Nicole was totally affirming. And the PICTURES, from both our engagement session and our wedding, are AMAZING. We're trying not to cover our entire home with them, but no promises. We couldn't recommend Nicole enough, stop reading this and go book her now!

Hi! Jeff here… I create and edit custom photographs for couples that value the experience just as much as the final result. I focus on capturing natural expressions in beautiful scenes so that when you look back at your memories, you don’t just remember what happened - you remember what it felt like to be there.

Jeff truly is a gem. In addition to producing our stunning engagement shoot & gorgeous wedding album - he truly offered incredible service, guidance, and basically became our friend over the course of our 2-year engagement. Jeff was very communicative and offered support beyond just helping curate our shoots. He was helpful in mapping out our timeline and making our day run super smooth. Jeff has a sensibility that made it very easy to work with him and helped everyone around him relax on what is a stressful day for many people. I got lots of feedback from my family that he was a standup gentleman and he genuinely improved our wedding experience. He is absolutely one of the best decisions you will make regarding your engagement & wedding photos.

Captured By Kay Photography

  • Serves Buffalo, NY

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!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. 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!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!
