The Best Classic Wedding Photographers in Amherst, NY

“I just wish we could relive our wedding day over and over again, even thought that isn’t possible I feel that I can every time I look at our wedding photos from Bee Photography. Bridget from Bee Photography is very professional. I would say this is also a major perk as well jf your husband is anything like mine and has a short attention span when it comes to any sort of photos, Bee photography made that process quick, easy and simple for my husband. I would recommend her over and over again, not just for your wedding but any special event your family may be having!”

“Lisa Russell blew my expectations out of the water. We went with a package that included an engagement shoot and when we first met her a year before the wedding for that I felt so relieved. She made us feel so comfortable, confident, and made it so much fun. She delivers the most stunning photos and fast too! I was nervous hearing horror stories from weddings where people spent 4,000-5,000 and received maybe 200 photos, took forever and were not the photos they hoped for. When I found Lisa and saw how affordable her packages were I was nervous since it was a good 1,000-2,000 below other photographers I found but when I tell you how thankful I am to have booked her, I mean it. From emails up until the wedding so often, talking to her about my obnoxiously long shot list (sorry Lisa) and overall wedding stress she was my rock through it all. She came in on wedding day and went to town on the most stunning photos and was just the ultimate hype women. She made sure I got all the photos I wanted along with making sure everyone was ready to go for all of them. DO NOT think more affordable pricing than some means lower quality because the quality of service, the close to 1,000 pictures I got back (within a month!!), and the attention to detail was seriously out of this world. I would recommend Lisa to every single bride out there and will be reaching out to her to photograph for all my future life events! https://russellphotography2011.com”

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.

She made the elopement process so easy! We picked our location off her advice :) We also had snow hit the day of our elopement and since it was just my husband & I plus the photographers, (Dani & Jed), she let us adjust our elopement time to get the best experience in the elements. They also followed my husband & I to our restaurant where we had dinner and took some amazing candid photos our first dinner as husband and wife. Such an incredible team and incredible experience. Hiring them was the best decision we made when we decided to elope!!”
