Hi! My name is Lily and I am the founder and head photographer at Lily Catherine Photography. My business focuses on capturing the best in whoever is in front of the camera. I shoot 15-20 Weddings, 10-20 Engagements, 5-10 Family and a handful of real estate jobs every year. When I'm not working, I'm spending time with my husband and three children.

Lily is absolutely wonderful to work with! We had originally scheduled with her for our wedding last year, but when COVID hit, we had to postpone to summer 2021. Lily was very flexible and understanding of our needs. We had her shoot our small, at-home wedding, and the pictures could not have turned out nicer. We've given several as gifts to our parents and grandparents, and everyone absolutely loved them. Lily also shot and organized our engagement shoot this past fall. My husband and I are not the most natural people in front of a camera, but Lily was great with telling us what to do and where to be. And those photos turned out wonderfully as well! She is always on top of communication - as many engaged couples may know, it is easy to get lost in the many details of planning - and she makes you feel like you are top priority. We can't wait for her to shoot our celebration this summer!

Welcome to Russell Photography. This is not just my job, but my passion! Your wedding day is as special to me at it is to you! My #1 goal is to give you the most amazing photos for you to have for a lifetime. High quality photos, at an affordable price! Plus, we are going to have fun while doing it!! I bet you do not hire a photographer every day so we understand 100% how the process can be overwhelming. You photographer needs to be fun, personable and most important makes you feel comfortable. If that resonates with you, you have come to the right place. I can't wait to talk to you, get to know you and to hear all of your amazing plans!!

Lisa went above and beyond with every detail. She made sure my dress was positioned properly, she helped my awkward self know what to do when posing, she was so personable, and went the extra mile to keep me comfortable and feeling confident. After I made a comment about “my good side” she made sure I was always posing in ways that emphasized my good side. After receiving my preview I was so happy with how the photos came out. The pictures were clear and vibrant. She even captured candid moments that I will cherish forever. If I had to go back and do it again I would hire her 100 times over!

Life is a story, let me be a part of telling yours. My desire to visit anywhere and everywhere makes me the perfect candidate for your big adventure! Near or far, I am always excited to travel to you for your moments big or small.

Sarah is incredible - she's the kind of person you WANT at your wedding, birthday, family gathering, party. She is so professional, her photographs are incredible and she's got a great sense of humor. Not only have we had the pleasure of asking Sarah to capture milestones in our life (wedding, child, dog), we have also gotten to see her work at many of our close friends weddings. Sarah makes you feel entirely comfortable whilst being photographed, and all of her directives are clear and concise. She always puts the bride/groom first and I'm always amazed by her calm demeanor at the often-times very busy wedding ceremonies and receptions. When you hire Sarah, you're going to know that on the day she is going to capture exactly what you want. When she sends you the sneak peak, you're going to be blown away, and when she gives you the password for ALL of your photos, it will put a huge smile on your face because you'll realize that somehow, Sarah really did capture in photos exactly what your celebration felt like on the day.

Weddings by Tara

The beautiful moments that we share with others are those that make our lives rich and meaningful. Being truly present with people and using the camera to share their essence is what I'm all about. For over 10 years I have been honored to photograph weddings for couples from around the world. It is a joy to be a part of each one of them as every moment of the day is brimming with a certain golden, shimmering happiness. I am committed to telling the story of your love, naturally and elegantly.

Tara came into our lives very serendipitously and we could not have been more relieved or happier that she did! After our own photographer had to cancel on our three-day Indian wedding event a week prior, Tara stepped in and saved the day. I am very detailed oriented so I wanted a photographer who would be able to digest and deliver on the details that were important to us (especially the cultural ones). We had two meetings set up that very week to discuss those details, and Tara embraced all of them in stride. I could tell that she had researched Indian weddings. When Tara showed up to our events it felt like we had been planning with her over the last two years. She is professional, kind, and made her presence at each event very discreet (in the best way). It felt like she was a part of our family all weekend. The photographs are absolutely stunning. We have so many favorites, I’m at a loss as to how to choose which ones to put on the walls or fit them into a single album. Her website is truly representative of the quality of her work. We give Tara our highest recommendation. We will definitely be continuing to have her photograph our family.

Since 2010, I've been connecting with individuals, couples, and their families to capture and create beautiful memories. Whether it was a family session filled with laughs while trying to get the father to smile, a shy senior showing confidence in their senior portrait session, or a beautiful couple saying yes to forever together, I've been there to capture all of the love. I've also worked with a variety of clients such as Canisius College, Fisher-Price, Mattel, Thomas & Friends, the Associated Press, The Guinness Book of World Records, and more.

I’ve known Brianna since my freshman year of college. I fell in love with her work and jokingly told her she would one day be the photographer for my wedding when I wasn’t engaged yet. When I finally found Mr. Right, I booked her right away. Her pricing is amazing, her work is phenomenal. She is so down to Earth and has such a beautiful, authentic personality. My husband hates getting his picture taken as well as attention. Brianna made him feel comfortable and we had so much fun on our special day. She gets so excited about editing your photos as you are to receive them, so expect a quick turn around. She doesn’t rush, she just genuinely loves her work. She balances professionalism with being a kind hearted person. So many photographers can come off as robotic and cold, she is the complete opposite and her communication with you from beginning to the end is awesome as well. Even with a pandemic, she adjusted and made our day feel as normal as it could get even with all of the safety regulations. I cannot recommend her enough. She’s the best!

I am a wedding and elopement photographer located in Wyoming county. I love to take photos of weddings and elopements. Some say I have a true passion for what I do. I have learned a lot since I started and each wedding or session I am always striving to learn more. As a business owner I am fully insured and strive to be professional at everything I do. It's my goal to be able to do this full time someday! I love being able to capture someone's day it brings me happiness. I'm a pretty laid back go with the flow type of person. I do my absolute best to provide you with photos you'll remember forever.

I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Tabatha was more than willing to help with any wedding issues I had. She captured so many amazing photos. I’m so thankful we chose her for our big day. Because of her, our wedding was captured in beautiful photos to be reminded of our gorgeous day.

I’ll be the first to say I never thought I’d be here doing this. The day after I received my Bachelors in Science degree, I picked my childhood camera back up again and realized how effortlessly photography came to me. I was asked to do 2 weddings that year.. which turned into the 25 a year I do now... and I never looked back. Almost a decade later, I've worked in places like the tropical beaches of Puerto Vallarta to the serene rolling hills of Italy and everywhere in between, my one primary goal has remained to document love in the most authentic way.

Kiran is THE BEST couples photographer in the WNY area! We found her wedding photography page on Instagram while searching for Buffalo photographers. What we LOVE most about Kiran’s work is that her style of editing is true to tone, which is extremely important to us as a mixed and interracial couple. From the beginning Kiran made us feel cared for and was detailed with what we could expect throughout the process, which put our minds at ease during the day of. Kiran made us feel confident and comfortable while capturing all the special and intimate moments. She was so much fun to work with and the quality of her work shows throughout our gallery. We would recommend Kiran to everyone looking for a wedding/couples photographer and we are looking forward to working with Kiran again for as our destination photographer!
