  • Serves East Rochester, NY

When I'm not working, you can find me hitting live shows or adventuring with my wife and cat, Riesling. About my work: 10+ years of experience shooting both on-location and in the studio. Use of off-camera lighting, which allows me to add a creative flair when natural light isn't quite enough. I’ll crawl through cattails, get pelted with silly string, and wade out waist deep in the ocean, just to get the perfect shot. My goal is to make YOU feel comfortable and at ease so we can create compelling imagery for your special occasion or event.

Awarded Best of Zola
Rich was very professional and fun to work with. He showed genuine care and love for his work, and it came through in the resulting pictures. He was willing to be flexible and adjust as the weather changed the plans for the day. He was like a gun slinger with his two camera holsters. My mother was skeptical at first, but once she saw the pictures she was completely happy with the outcome. The last picture really shows his dedication to get The Shot!

I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect way to remember it all.

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

Lacie and Tim are just the most amazing photographers (and people). They met up with us in Montana to shoot our elopement photos ahead of our shooting our wedding reception in Indiana. They are both so friendly and fun and Lacie has such great instincts. She and Tim surveyed glacier national park for great photo ops the day before we met. When we met some cloud cover in the park Lacie made a great call to pivot and get some amazing sunset photos on the lake which were stunning. While we drove around the park it felt like we hanging out with our good friends which made it all the more fun and the photos more authentic. Both Lacie and Tim were so helpful and kind, and our photos both in Montana and Indiana are everything I’ve ever wanted! Would hire/will hire them again and again!

Weddings are more than beautiful photos—they're the moments you'll never get to experience the same way again. Our passion is preserving those moments exactly as they happen, from the quiet emotions before the ceremony to the celebration on the dance floor. We believe the best photographs are the ones that feel real. The tears, laughter, stolen glances, and genuine connections are what tell your story, and that's where our focus stays throughout your wedding day.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Zechariah and the team! From the very beginning, everyone was so kind, professional, and easy to work with. They made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. We had the opportunity to have Zechariah shoot our engagement photos, which made our wedding photos all the more special. One of the things we appreciated most was how organized and thoughtful they were leading up to our wedding day. They created a detailed schedule for us, which helped everything run smoothly and took so much stress off our shoulders. On the wedding day, we felt like we were in such good hands. They even brought umbrellas which came in handy when it did rain! Our photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and looking through them has brought us so much happiness. They captured not only the big moments, but also the candid laughs shots and little details that we will cherish forever. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing photography team to document our wedding day. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone who is talented, thoughtful, and truly cares!

Your wedding photos should feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot with a wedding squeezed in. I love the editorial, frame-worthy portraits just as much as anyone, but the moments I'm really chasing are the ones you didn't even realize happened. The deep breath before you walk down the aisle. Your grandma absolutely tearing it up on the dance floor. Your partner looking at you like they just won the lottery. Those are the photos that somehow become everyone's favorites.

I’m Ben Wagner, a New York City–based wedding and elopement photographer with roots in France. I relocated to the United States in 2016—the same year I photographed my first wedding and discovered a passion for it. Since then, I’ve documented over 150 celebrations across the country and abroad. From the West Coast to NC and New England, and internationally in France and Morocco, my work is shaped by a love of travel, culture, and human connection. All love is honored here. Regardless of religion, sexual orientation, race, immigration status, or personal beliefs, —a place where your story is felt, seen, respected, and beautifully documented.

Ben Wagner Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. He was so easy going and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. The quality of his work is simply stunning, beautiful, and creative. Ben had so many different poses ready and took some truly breathtaking rooftop photos of us. He even gave us a photo right after the reception and a sneak peek set two days later! Ben is so kind and easy to get along with, and he kept us on track and was very knowledgeable. His photos are absolutely stunning and I would recommend him a million times over.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

After having to change my wedding date due to a military deployment, and being left with no photographer, I stumbled across Danny’s profile. His work was interesting, his prices fair for the area, and was friendly and kind from the moment I reached out. We never met prior to the wedding due to me living in a different state, so I was really hoping for the best when it came to the wedding day. He and his wife far exceeded my expectation. We had a large wedding party plus a lot of family to photograph and I’ve received nothing but compliments on his work thus far. It is beautiful and we are so excited to see our full gallery in a few weeks. I can’t thank Danny and his wife enough for their hard work to make our day special. 10/10!

Working with the Big Shot Bun Company photographer and videographer was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They were patient, attentive, and relatable, making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process. Their talent is truly magical - the photos they captured of our special day are perfect, showcasing their years of experience in a way that exceeds all of our expectations. They helped organize the logistics of when and where photos needed to happen, and even offered guidance on how we could best enjoy our wedding night, going above and beyond their duties as photographer/videographer. Both of them were so sweet and made sure all of our guests felt comfortable every step of the way. The photographer zoomed a couple times beforehand to ask questions, and about any family or friend situations to be aware of, which we thought was a thoughtful and smart approach. We got everything back WAY sooner than we thought we would, especially with it being around the holidays. These two seriously put in the work. We are thrilled with the final product and cannot recommend the Big Shot Bun Company highly enough.

Weddings by Hanel (pronounced like Chanel without a c) is a wedding photo & video studio creatively blending artistic photojournalism with beautiful portraiture. Our philosophy for photographing weddings is based on the belief that the most important part of our job is telling your story as beautifully as the story itself. Everything else is secondary. With hundreds of weddings under our belts, my team and I have been a part of weddings of all colors, sizes, and locations. Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

I've seen Hanel's work for 3 weddings before my own. I knew from the first wedding that I would one day hire him to capture mine - it was a no brainer! Not only are his photos absolutely stunning and timeless, but he is also such a pleasure to work with. (The best combo!) From virtual meetings planning how the day will flow and on the actual wedding day itself, he will help guide you through everything. He pays attention to the details that are important to you as the client, all while making sure he captures your wedding day perfectly. Wedding days move very quickly and things can get overwhelming, but Hanel's understanding of how wedding days flow allows him to take care of you as the bride & groom. Although he is working, he makes sure you also get to enjoy your big day and not get too caught up in all the business--this was something we really appreciated. Him and his team will go above and beyond and make sure there is nothing you have to worry about. ALL of Hanel's work is beautiful and intentional. He even provides such a unique experience when viewing your full gallery once it's ready. My husband and I will never forget how we felt seeing all our photos for the first time. Our wedding is a day we wish we could relive again and again, and the photos he captured did exactly that. Hanel is extremely skilled, talented and is truly the best at his craft. We highly recommend him. (:
