Marisa Alaggio Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lockport, NY

After working in television and media as a video editor and photographer for 6 years, I decided I wanted to spend all my time behind my camera capturing real-life love stories. I have a creative writing degree, and I always knew I would be in a career where I was able to tell stories. Writing led me to producing, which led me to video editing, which led me to taking photos professionally, which led me here, ready to work alongside you to be sure all your visions for the perfect wedding day end up in your gallery after it's all over.

“She took photos of my partner and I and we love them so much we made a physical photo album! Marisa made us feel like main characters of the movie of our lives. She didn’t fit us in the box of what couples photos ‘should’ look like but created photos that feel personal to us. Marisa has calming yet exciting energy and a welcoming presence that allows you and your partner to be your authentic self. Hire her! You won’t regret it!”

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
“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!”

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

“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.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Ihor. He photographed both our engagement near Beacon, NY and our wedding in Glen Ridge, NY at the Glen Ridge Women's Club, and the results were incredible across the board. For our engagement shoot, which was mostly outdoors, Ihor recommended the best time of day so the lighting would be perfect, and it really shows in the photos. We moved around to several locations on the property, and even though the shoot was only about an hour, we ended up with tons of great shots. He was easy to work with and gave helpful direction that made us feel and look comfortable on camera. On our wedding day, Ihor arrived on time, stayed engaged the whole evening, and captured so many meaningful moments. Our venue was fairly dimly lit, but everything came out sharp, colorful, and beautiful. He did a great job capturing both the big moments and the candid ones in between, along with the emotion throughout the day. He also delivered way more photos than we expected, including a preview just a couple days after the wedding. Beyond the photos, Ihor is a genuinely great guy and a pleasure to have around. We would absolutely work with him again and highly recommend him.”
