About BGF Photography

BGF Photography

Hello there! My name is Billy. Thank you for stopping by! I am based in Buffalo and photograph in the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Finger Lakes areas. Your wedding day will be filled with wonderful fleeting moments with your loved ones. Let's create memories together that will last a lifetime. Every wedding is different and I will tailor our services to meet your specific needs.

My journey in photography began with a love for capturing candid moments on the streets. Through my lens, I seek to freeze genuine emotions and raw moments, believing that the most beautiful photographs are those that authentically reflect the essence of the moment. With a passion for storytelling and an eye for detail, I am dedicated to preserving the magic of your special day through timeless and heartfelt images. I specialize in candid journalistic style wedding photography. If you’re in a rush and ready to elope, I also do elopements and can fit into your hectic last minute plans.

We are absolutely so ecstatic with our wedding photos by Billy. Throughout the whole process from meeting him initially to getting the photos back (in a very prompt fashion post-wedding I might add) and sharing with our guests, he was super professional and responsive through the whole thing and we are so thankful for all of his advice and help. He is super relaxed as a photographer and doesn't force you to do anything you're not comfortable with, just tries to capture you as you are! Trust his process and he will provide some really great candid photos of both you as a couple and of your guests. During the wedding he was incredible at capturing all the special little moments, we love the candid style of photography as he really caught the essence of our guests enjoying themselves and our emotions throughout the day. As a bonus he does also speak Mandarin and that's super rare to find in a photographer in the Buffalo area, we were pleasantly surprised and it came in handy! He was so pleasant to work with and super nice. He was always professional, patient, and quickly adapted to anything we thought of at the last minute. His prices are very reasonable for his high quality of work and he does a great job of adapting himself to the couple's style. He had some surprises for us that we LOVED. We absolutely highly recommend him for your wedding or any other special event.

Billy is a true professional and we cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible work he did at our wedding. Billy's passion for photography is evident, and his ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was truly a gift. He used his art and photography skills to capture every special moment throughout our wedding. Billy perfectly captured the joy, love, and emotion of our special day. Every image brought back a flood of happy memories, reminding us of the love and joy we shared on that special day. Billy not only captured our wedding day, but also created lasting memories that we will treasure for a lifetime. We highly recommend Billy to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer.
Highly Recommend!

My turnaround time varies by season. You’ll receive your photos online about 4-8 weeks after your wedding but usually in a shorter time. Within this time, you can also expect to receive a private online album with high-resolution image files, so you can share the photos with your loved ones and order prints and albums.

You can expect about 300-600 images for a typical full wedding day. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.

I am fully insured through the Hartford Business Insurance. If your venue needs proof of insurance just let me know and I'll be happy to provide that for you.

Candid with light direction. For the important moments while getting ready and of course bridal portraits, I will lightly guide my couples to get the best photos. I encourage doing an engagement session with me before the wedding to get familiar with me as a photographer and in front of a camera. The rest of the wedding day, I'm looking for candid moments of emotion. I believe the best photos are taken a few seconds before and after you see the camera pointed in your direction. My favorite images of the wedding day are ones where the couple are enjoying their time with wedding guests, blissfully unaware their moment is being captured.

I am based in Buffalo NY but I'd be happy to travel to Rochester, Syracuse, the Finger Lakes region and everything in between. If you are outside my normal area, please reach out and in most cases I can travel to your location.

If your getting ready locations are at the same venue or close drive to each other, I can absolutely photograph your wedding without a second photographer. To ensure the day flows well, I recommend discussing the timeline in detail with me during the consultation. Especially with just myself as your photographer, it's important to budget enough time for each part of the day. Bear in mind some ceremony venues have movement restrictions where it would be difficult to capture all the special moments without a second photographer. This would also apply for elaborate events during the reception where I can not be in two places at once.

I would be happy to photograph your pre and post wedding events! Sangeet, mehndi, rehearsal, friends and family gatherings, etc. Please let me know during the inquiry and consultation if you're planning a multi-day wedding to confirm availability. Additional days can be billed as half day or full day packages.
