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. 

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.

Nicole Nero Studio

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Java Center, NY

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!

We live to photograph all that matters to you with a vision that’s creative, unique and personal; as special as the time you share with your loved ones, forever captured to keep & share always.

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!

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Java Center, NY

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.

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based/working anywhere, visual storyteller who captures the authentic experience with intention. It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

My husband and I cannot recommend Ali enough to anyone looking for a photographer!! We first got in contact with Ali last year for our planned wedding, but due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to have our big day, BUT we were lucky enough to transfer her services over to my sister and brother and law! After meeting Ali in person on their wedding day and seeing the magic she can do, it was an absolute no brainer that she would be there for our big day and any and every other event we need photography for! She truly became family and we cannot thank her enough for everything she’s done! She goes above and beyond in her work and truly makes the day so much easier and more fun than ever!

Xenia is the sweetest person to work with. I had an unfortunately timed surgery last year that threw off all our planning and she was very patient with me as we tried to figure out our wedding date and when we could take engagement photos. We are so glad it all worked out because our engagement photos are a dream. Our wedding was a few days ago, and our wedding was shot by Xenia and a videographer we booked with her as well, and the day went so smoothly. No wedding planner or coordinator, but they were there to keep us going and answer questions if we needed help. Highly highly recommend.
