We can’t say enough great things about Billy and Katie! From the very beginning, Billy brought such a personal and thoughtful touch to our wedding experience. He reached out proactively during the planning process to make sure everything was set for the big day, offering helpful input and flexibility that made us feel completely at ease. On the wedding day, both Billy and Katie were absolutely amazing. They were not only timely and professional, but also worked seamlessly with our coordinator to help keep everything running smoothly. They weren’t just behind the camera—they were genuinely helpful, lending a hand wherever it was needed and making the day feel even more special. One of the most impressive touches was that Billy had photos ready and on display at the reception for our guests to enjoy, adding such a thoughtful and unique element to the evening. He also surprised us with a roll of 35mm film photos he took during the day, which captured timeless and nostalgic moments that we will cherish forever. He delivered our full set of photos incredibly quickly, and they came out beautifully—we couldn’t be happier with the results. So many of our guests commented on how great Billy and Katie were—friendly, accommodating, and just a joy to have around. They helped keep the energy up and the timeline on track, all while capturing every special moment. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them as part of our day and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

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!

Emily Braun Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Pavilion, 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.

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!

Weddings, births, celebrations—the priceless moments that make up a life. At Moonshine we’re love-obsessed. 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!

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

Hi! Jeff here… I create and edit custom photographs for couples that value the experience just as much as the final result. I focus on capturing natural expressions in beautiful scenes so that when you look back at your memories, you don’t just remember what happened - you remember what it felt like to be there.

Jeff truly is a gem. In addition to producing our stunning engagement shoot & gorgeous wedding album - he truly offered incredible service, guidance, and basically became our friend over the course of our 2-year engagement. 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. Jeff has a sensibility that made it very easy to work with him and helped everyone around him relax on what is a stressful day for many people. I got lots of feedback from my family that he was a standup gentleman and he genuinely improved our wedding experience. He is absolutely one of the best decisions you will make regarding your engagement & wedding photos.

He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones.
