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.

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Amherst, 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.

Captured By Kay Photography 
  • Photojournalistic style

For me, photography is not just a job, its a passion. It is knowing that when you are behind the lens you have the ability to give not only your clients, but generations to come the ability to look through an album or see a canvas hanging on the wall and be able to re-live that exact moment. It is being able to smell your newborns skin and feeling their heartbeat against your chest, hearing your children laugh as they play in the leaves, feeling your husbands arms wrapped around you during your first kiss as husband and wife!

We are experts in photojournalism, offering couples an unmatched level of value for their wedding photography and video services.

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios

Hello there!! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic photo and video, and mix in-the-moment candids with editorial portraits (usually with flash photos!) Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or an elegant celebration at an estate, I'm here for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Photography and videography were one of the most important vendors to me while planning my wedding. Booking with Juliette was one of the best decisions I made about my wedding (coming from a very lucky bride who had a 10/10 perfect wedding day). She is so incredibly talented and her work is both professional in quality and personally unique in style. Working with her and her husband Teddy was so comfortable and felt like I was talking to old friends every time we’d check in by FaceTime or worked together in person. She worked with me even with my busy work schedule and is the best for setting up packages that highlight everything you want on your big day and doesn’t force/pressure the things you don’t feel you need/want. She also helps to plan out a reasonable payment plan schedule that made making payments so much less stressful over several months leading up to the wedding. I am so thankful to her for making this part of my wedding less stressful and capturing so many beautiful moments. I could write a book with all the nice things I have to say, highly recommend for any/all occasions! The absolute best!

Rivelle Media is a photography and videography company based in New York. Every couple, with their distinctive love story, transforms into a canvas where we paint with the play of light and shadow. It extends beyond the grandeur of photographing pivotal moments like vows, rings, and the first dance; it encompasses the art of capturing nuanced glances, shared laughter, and the silent connection that elevates an ordinary day into an extraordinary celebration of love. Published in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Tatler.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were pretty nervous about finding the right photographers because we’re both camera-shy, but Rivelle Media completely blew us away. Anna and her team made the whole experience feel so natural - like we weren’t even being photographed most of the time. They joked with us, gave gentle direction when needed, and somehow caught every little moment that made our wedding feel so ‘us.’ Leading up to the day, they were also super helpful. Anna sent us this guide that was packed with tips and ideas we hadn’t even thought about, and she always made time to answer our questions. It felt like they really cared about making everything perfect for us. Now that we have the photos, we can’t stop looking at them!!

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wedding planning was beyond stressful, especially picking the right photographer to basically be in charge of capturing the entire day perfectly. I’m pretty sure I looked through every local photographers website or example work and it was exhausting. When I finally did pick a handful to choose from it was still waiting for emails back, or being told up to six months to get my photos back (I respect photographers but that just seemed so long) or some didn’t even respond. Well Nicole Lagoe Photography answered pretty much right away, and scheduled a call for us the same week. I know I wasn’t the easiest client because I had so many questions and high expectations (which she took care of them all) The process was soooo easy after that call! I got a little questionnaire to fill out and basically put all the pictures I wanted and information that I felt was pretty important on that. Then she said I get a handful of previews, and gave me the exact date my gallery would be sent over (which I needed because who wants to be guessing if or when they will be coming lol) I got my sneaks which were AMAZING and my completed photos actually a few days before the due date which was an unexpected surprise. My photos are beautiful and I know well worth the wait because I had A LOT as my wedding was a long day. Thank you Nicole for being so kind and patient with me and for making choosing you as a photographer so easy and the best decision ever.
