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

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Lily was my photographer for my October wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was so easy to work with, great communication from the time we inquired her services until the day of the wedding. She worked with all the questions and concerns we had regarding her safety, ours, and our guests. She was early on our wedding day, she posed and directed us as we asked and expected her to do (on our wedding day and for our engagement photos). She found creative places near our venue for beautiful photos, which she had scooped out ahead of time. We, and our friends and family, were over whelmed by the beautiful photos she took. They are truly something we will treasure for our lifetime.

From our introduction call, to her extremely detailed emails/questionaries for our engagement session, to her helping guide and navigate me through planning my own wedding. Ondraea was there every step of the way! She was extremely organized with keeping me on track with what I needed for the day of and had wonderful suggestions! Engagement session- she was so calm and warming as my Husband and I have never done professional photos. She had amazing ideas for photos and made it so simple to follow for the perfect shot! The photos were amazing and I loved the sneak peaks! She keep consistent communication along the way and set great expectations. Wedding- she ROCKED IT! We had it at my best friends backyard and the weather was not great- rain on and off. Ondraea helped keep me calm and assured me we would still have great photos; which we did (obviously!). She again was extremely detailed before hand which let me fully trust her day of. She managed the session with such poise that it helped me remain calm. We changed locations of the photos and she didn't bat an eye! She helped gather all the family and friends for photos so I could have more time enjoying my reception. The photos were absolutely stunning and better than I could have ever imagined! Ondraea really helped our wedding extremely special! I am so thankful we picked her and you will be too!

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!

Dani not only helped us find our elopement spot in Colorado but she was so helpful in structuring our plans. We had our air bnb for a week and she had flowers and photos placed in there to make us feel at home. It was so sweet. She had a changing tent for me to change into after we hiked to our elopement spot. After we were married we ran around the mountains taking photos and we felt so happy and comfortable! The icing on the cake, the photos turned out AMAZING!!!! She is stuck with us forever as our photographer! Hire her!!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Ben and his 2nd photographer, Zee for our August wedding. Ben was very on-the-ball and reliable during the whole wedding process; he communicates clearly and made us feel so comfortable and relaxed taking all the photos. He has incredible talent and our wedding album was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined or hoped for. Photography is such an important wedding aspect, and there's no one else I would've felt so comfortable holding that responsibility than Ben.
