If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

“Sarah is firstly a gifted artist and photographer. As you can see she understands space and color in a way that my wife and I clearly do not but more importantly she understands what makes a moment feel special. We asked Sarah to deliver a documentary style wedding experience and she did not fail. When my wife and I chose Sarah, she immediately got to work helping us to plan our wedding day in a way that you might not necessarily expect from a wedding photographer. Sarah was so personal and friendly on the day of our wedding, it felt more like we had a friend taking our pictures as a favor. However, the finished products speak for themselves: our friends and family celebrating, iconic moments of the day, and our love clearly shown throughout. Sarah delivered organization, artistry, and value in a comprehensive package that can’t be beat.”

Stefan Ludwig Photo + Video 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Buffalo, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves New York

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.”

I was never stressed about the photos or the video because I knew Megan and Kenneth had it completely covered. They were extremely responsive over email and zoom calls in the months before the wedding and would answer all questions promptly.

I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

“It was such a pleasure working with Emma Cleary photography and videography. From the start, Emma was great to communicate with and always responded very promptly. She was organized from the start and made planning easy. The crew really captured the day so beautifully and professionally and looking back on the photos and videos makes us so happy. We keep watching the videos over and over! The editing and attention to detail on all of their work is all at such an incredibly high level. The photographers (David, Dilmurad) and the videographer (Kamil) were so fun and easy on the day of the wedding, they knew exactly how to get the perfect shots in a way that didn’t interrupt the flow of the day while still capturing everything so well. When the Groomsmen didn’t know how to properly attach their boutonnieres, the cameraman stepped up to help out and show them how to do it! We were running a bit behind schedule on the Bride’s side during the day of the wedding, but the crew was patient with us and found plenty to take pictures of while we finished getting ready. Emma Cleary’s team were all such fun to work with and we are so thankful for the memories that they captured.”

We’re Milan and Nata, the husband-and-wife team behind Photo Cine Art. We’ve called Punta Cana home for over 20 years and have spent the last 16 years photographing and filming weddings across the Dominican Republic. Milan is our lead photographer, combining candid documentary moments with creative editorial portraits, while Nata manages, coordinates and edits everything behind the scenes. Together, we focus on real emotions, natural moments and beautiful wedding stories that feel true to each couple.

“Watching Milan document our growing family over the years has been incredibly special. He captures not just smiles, but emotion, connection, personality, and love in a way that feels authentic and deeply artistic. Every gallery tells a story. Every image feels alive. What makes Milan & Nata(his wife) so spectacular is that they pour their entire heart into their work. You can feel his passion in every interaction and see it in every photograph he delivers. He has given our family memories that we will cherish forever, and there truly are not enough words to express how grateful we are for his talent and dedication. Milan is, without question, the best. “Well, what can we say about Milan except that, he is AMAZING!! From our first interaction via email prior to our wedding in 2019 he has been above and beyond. He is attentive, energetic, personable, respectful, patient and quite funny. What else can you ask for! Milan, captured every detail of the wedding day from every angle. Our guests were even impressed at how quick and incognito he was throughout the wedding. Our second interaction was for our photoshoot a couple of days after the wedding at Altos De Chavon. What an experience that was! Milan’s visionary eye and level of art for his passion is extraordinary. Our next encounter in 2022 was nothing short of the first 2. Upon returning to DR with our son, I asked Milan for a family photoshoot. WOW!! The photos he captured with our non cooperating 2 year old are out of this world. We had 2 more family shoot sessions December 2024 and again in May 2026 — and, each experience keeps getting better. Milan, is truly the best of the best of the best. He puts his entire heart into his work.”

I’m Matthew, a documentary wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. I’ve photographed weddings for a decade, alongside a 15-year teaching career. The classroom shapes how I work: I meet every situation with empathy, plan carefully with you beforehand, and stay calm when the day gets busy. About 90% of my coverage is candid. I blend in and witness what unfolds, then step in with light direction for family photos and portraits. Couples tell me they forgot I was there, and my favorite compliment is that guests thought I was a family member with a camera. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love.

Awarded Best of Zola
“If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, stop searching and book Matthew Rigby. From our very first meeting, Matt took the time to get to know us as a couple. He wanted to understand our personalities and the kind of photos we actually wanted instead of giving us the same staged, cookie-cutter wedding pictures you see everywhere. We knew right away that he was the perfect fit. At our engagement session, we had a fun idea since we were getting married on 7/11—we asked if we could take photos inside a 7-Eleven, and without hesitation, Matt was all in. That perfectly sums him up. He’s creative, flexible, and always willing to embrace your vision, no matter how unique it is. To make things even better, our engagement shoot ended up taking place in the rain. Instead of calling it off or letting the weather get in the way, Matt embraced it and created some incredible photos that we absolutely love. He truly knows how to make the best of any situation. On our wedding day, everything ran so smoothly. We hired two photographers since the bridal party and groomsmen were getting ready in different locations, and thank you Matthew for bringing along Kevin. He was an amazing addition to the team. The groomsmen absolutely loved him. He brought such a relaxed, fun energy that made a room full of guys—who definitely weren’t excited about taking pictures—actually enjoy the experience. He encouraged their goofy ideas while still making sure they got great shots, and it made a huge difference. Another thing that really stood out was how great Matt is with kids. If you have children in your wedding party, you’ll appreciate his patience and ability to keep them engaged. As a teacher himself, he’s organized, professional, and incredibly calm under pressure. One thing we specifically told Matt was that we didn’t want to spend our entire cocktail hour taking photos. He completely respected that. He kept everything organized and efficient, and because of that, we actually got to enjoy our cocktail hour with our guests—a memory we’ll always be grateful for. The finished photos are absolutely stunning. His editing style is timeless and natural, and every image feels authentic to us. At the end of the day, beautiful photos are the goal, but the experience matters just as much. You spend more time with your photographer on your wedding day than almost anyone else. If you don’t feel comfortable with them, it shows in the pictures. Matt is easygoing, personable, and someone who genuinely makes you feel relaxed and like yourself. That’s exactly why our photos turned out so naturally. We can’t recommend Matthew Rigby Photography highly enough. If you want photographers who are talented, creative, organized, and genuinely fun to spend your wedding day with, they’re the team to book.”

Every time we look through our gallery we’re instantly transported back to the feelings we felt throughout day - the joy, the nerves, the excitement, the love. I feel so lucky to be able to say that, and it’s entirely because of Emma’s talent. Beyond the photos, we also fell in love with Emma’s personality - she is sweet, kind, authentic, witty and just so real. She was such a positive, reassuring presence on a whirlwind day. We are endlessly grateful to Emma for capturing our day with such care and creativity. These are authentic memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives - and she made that possible.”

I have been a photographer for the last 20 years, shooting weddings, elopements and portraits. I'm proud to have shot more than 150 same-sex weddings, which is probably more than, well, just about anyone. That said, I’ve worked with as many straight couples as LGBTQ ones. I don't discriminate. There are many other photographers whose work inspire me, but my primary inspiration comes from painters. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sargent, to name a few.

“We had a great experience with Steven. He was not afraid to make decisions and he pushed us to think about exactly what shots we wanted leading up to the wedding. He was open to our ideas but also had great ideas of his own, including making some suggestions about the positioning of the ceremony that resulted in not only making the pictures better but made sure all our guests could see. He was punctual on the day of the wedding and took time to come out to our venue in advance of the wedding to see how we might optimize the photos. His assistant was also very helpful at our pre-ceremony shoot.”

“Rob was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He was so nice and funny and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. His assistant Diane was also incredible and they were both so on top of everything and did a fantastic job at gathering all the family members we needed throughout the day. Our guests were also blown away and said they were amazing - that's how great their energy was.They were such a vibe and it felt like they were part of the party rather than just our photographers. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to capture our wedding.. Could not recommend them more!”

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

“Christopher was SO much fun to work with throughout the entire process. From the engagement photos, the rehearsal dinner to the wedding itself, Christopher was there finding the best shots. His demeanor and communication style put us at ease and actually made the process fun! The quality (and quantity!) of the team's work was impressive and they managed to capture the most memorable and funny moments that we still get to relive to this day. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”

“Jordan photographed our wedding in Lake Placid and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! He is skilled, knowledgeable, a true Adirondack gem! We first contacted Jordan after seeing his work on Instagram. The quality and style of his images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. He has an incredible creative eye! After a video meeting with him, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. Every communication reminded me that he cared and listened! With so many details that one has to remember at a wedding, some details can easily be missed, BUT not Jordan! On our wedding day, he was able to deliver everything we asked for and was executed beautifully and with ease! Our photos are beyond beautiful! The final photos are pure magic! Full of candid shots but also modern and timeless! But what truly impressed us was the incredibly fast turnaround. We had our sneak peek within a day and our full gallery in less than 2 weeks! We can't thank Jordan enough! He is a true professional and amazing at what he does! BOOK him and you will never regret it! Our family is already looking forward to going back to Lake Placid and having a family session with him sometime in the near future!”

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

  • Serves New York

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!”

“We originally found Thalia on TikTok and she captured the most magical engagement photos for us in NYC (we’re from Melbourne, Australia). She then made our absolutely dreams come true and agreed to come to Melbourne to shoot our wedding!!!!!!!! We had the most magical week with her and she made our friends and family feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured the most incredible moments for us. Due to a mix up with our officiant on the day, we couldn’t actually get legally married - so we’ll be going to city hall in NYC next month and you BEST BELIEVE Thalia will be joining us for a THIRD time to capture our lil city hall marriage day! We’ve found not only a lifetime photographer, but a lifetime friend.”
