  • Serves Java Center, NY

We are Maria and Scott, inclusive, film and digital destination wedding photographers, with an easygoing, refined, photojournalistic approach. Most of our work takes place all over New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but we've been to several states and as far as Scotland to photograph our clients (yes that was amazing). As your photographers, we will help you enjoy as much of your wedding as possible, try to make sure you get to eat, and then receive beautiful photos to help you relieve the day whenever you hold them.

Maria and Scott are absolutely everything you could want from your wedding photographer!! Aside from their photos turning out gorgeous, it is a pleasure working with them throughout the whole process. When we were looking for a photographer, we wanted a balance of being present and enjoying our day while still feeling like all the important moments were captured, and that’s exactly what we got! It’s so nice looking back at our photos and feeling like they really captured it all, formal and candid. From first contact, to wedding day, to receiving our photos, each step was stress free. It really feels like we got everything we could have wanted working with them, and we’re so happy we had them to capture our day!!

If you’re lucky enough to have Billy available for your day, book him immediately!!! From the moment we met him, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend — the kind who instantly makes you laugh, puts you at ease, and somehow reads your mind when it comes to what you want captured. We were in Niagara Falls for our destination wedding, so we didn’t get the chance to meet Billy beforehand, and honestly? We were a little nervous about that at first! But once the day arrived, we genuinely forgot we had just met him. That’s how effortlessly he blended in and made us feel comfortable. Not only is he ridiculously talented (our photos are jaw-droppingly good — like, how is this our real life?!), but his creative eye and attention to detail are on another level. He floated around our wedding with multiple cameras like a storytelling ninja, never missing a beat, a tear, or an unhinged dance move. And the best part? Billy made it all so fun. He wasn’t just our photographer — he was our hype man, our calm in the chaos, and honestly, a big part of why our day felt so joyful and relaxed. His energy is contagious, and his passion for what he does absolutely shines through in every single photo. Bonus: He has a little surprise he likes to share during dinner — it’s amazing, and I won’t spoil it for you… but trust me, you’ll love it. If you want someone wildly talented, genuinely kind, and just plain fun to be around — Billy is your guy. We’re still absolutely blown away by his work, and we’ll be raving about him for years to come

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.

Emily Braun Photography

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

I've spent over a decade capturing weddings, couples, and portraits, refining my signature style: rich, nostalgic, and true to life. I love creating images that feel both luxurious and natural- deep colors, authentic emotions, and dynamic compositions. 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
Wedding photos are so much more than just a few pictures you post on instragram/social media. Your wedding album becomes memories and emotions you keep forever. It is incredibly important to find someone that can capture more than your new profile picture- if you don’t want a basic selection of photos and want your core memories, look no further. Emily captures and encapsulates the stillness between the glances, the looks where no one is watching and makes your love center stage. As someone who experiences insecurities (as nearly all women do, especially on your wedding day) Emily created a space of safety, calmness, with genuine care and compassion. She removed barriers that made me feel uncomfortable, while capturing love and purpose with each snap of her camera. You’ll never find someone like her- ridiculously talented and devoted to the shot, all while exuding a light smile, thinking of creative ways to highlight your day. My gallery was a true reflection of the relationship between my wife and I, including moments I nearly forgot about in the craziness of the day. I look back at my experience with Emily, and am so thankful we found her. If you’re looking for curated creativity, a kind heart, and someone who will provide the most memorable moments through photos, you’ve met your gal.

When I'm not making photos you may find me mountaineering, playing an accordion or piano, tending to my tiny house and tiny garden or riding my bike here, there, and ev'ry where. Also, I'm afraid of gum.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay as our wedding photographer. She has such a talent for capturing emotion and truly telling the story of your wedding day through her photos. So many of her photos bring me right back to how I was feeling in those moments. She shoots a perfect blend of traditional portraits and the candid "in-between" memories. She captures details and moments that you never even realized she was there to catch. During the formal portraits she does a great job helping you feel comfortable and giving posing directions. However, I truly think she stands apart because of her ability to capture “real” moments and be discreet during parts of the day where she isn't explicitly giving direction, while still getting every aspect you could want (e.g. during the ceremony, dance floor, etc.). She has some angles of our ceremony that I still don’t know how she was able to capture them, we didn’t even notice she was right there! Her work truly speaks for itself. I am so very grateful that we chose her to photograph our wedding and that we have continued to work with her in the years since our wedding for our maternity, newborn and family photos. Lindsay has truly become a friend in the process of being our wedding photographer. I recommend her to all of my friends who are planning their weddings and I look forward to working with her in the future.

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!

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.

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Awarded Best of Zola
Emma and her team are FANTASTIC! My photographer was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and upon our first meeting I knew they were the perfect fit. I went with Massimo as the lead photographer who also did our engagement shoot. It was so nice to meet with him and see his work before the wedding. Leading up to the big day they would check in to make sure all details were finalized. My wedding was very unique in that I had an Indian wedding and traditional wedding all in one day with multiple outfit changes. We had a lot to cover and Emma's team was more than up for the challenge. We had 2 photographers including Massimo and a videographer. They were extremely organized and creative to capture shots I would have never thought of on my own. When the previews came in I was in shock of how beautiful they were and now that I have all of the photos and videos I get to relive the day all over again with friends and family. I could not recommend Emma and her team enough for weddings and other big life moments!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me.
