Hello! Thank you for your interest. Photography, for me, is about more than just images; it's about capturing emotions, connections, and the little details that make your day unique. I blend documentary photojournalism with fine art portraiture, and I capture your wedding in a joyful and romantic way meant to stand the test of time. Most of all, I'm here to help tell your story and have a whole lot of fun while doing it. My style is timeless. Photos that steer clear of editing trends- true to color images that authentically capture your wedding colors and skin tones. Your photos should be as beautiful in ten years as they are today.

Traci was our wedding photographer, she did a phenomenal job, and I love how our photos turned out. I am the bride in some of her featured pictures in the traditional pakistani red dress. She made us feel very comfortable during the photo shoot and hyped us up. Wedding photos can be awkward especially since this was our first photoshoot as a couple ever. Also, she is great with communication, answered all of our questions, and made sure we received our photos in a timely manner. Thank you Traci for making our wedding day so special! :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Emily and I have worked together on a number of occasions, and I have always had so much fun and learned a ton! While there are tons of great photographers out there (and Emily certainly stands out as a top-tier photographer), the thing that makes her so incredible is how she is on the day. She has the ability to predict what you need before you need it, keep everything running smoothly, and make the day about you. I remember the first time we worked together, my shoes were giving me blisters so she just pulled out these tiny high-heel bandaids that IMMEDIATELY took all the pressure off and let me work efficiently for the rest of the night! Emily is there when you need her, and in the shadows when you don't. She is professional, kind, and courteous. Ultimately, you really just don't find many other photographers like her. If you're on the fence about it, just hop on a call with her. You'll see for yourself :P

I'm an Upstate NY based wedding photographer with 14 years and 400 weddings of experience. This business supports all people and believes that bodily autonomy is a fundamental right. Equality matters. Black Lives Matter. Trans & Womens rights are human rights. Science is real. No human is illegal. Love is love. Period.

....so we can hire Nicole again! Hands down, hiring Nicole was the best decision we made (after deciding to marry each other). From day one, she put us totally at ease, and was great to communicate with (including panicked emails where I changed my mind many times). As an LGBT couple, we encountered many vendors in the wedding planning process who didn't seem supportive, but Nicole was totally affirming. And the PICTURES, from both our engagement session and our wedding, are AMAZING. We're trying not to cover our entire home with them, but no promises. We couldn't recommend Nicole enough, stop reading this and go book her now!

Megan was the first photographer that we sat down with to discuss our wedding photography and after that first meeting, we felt zero need to speak with anyone else because we loved her so much. She and her sister photographed our wedding and did a phenomenal job. We received hundreds of photos within 3 weeks of our wedding and we couldn't be happier with them. We can't wait to see them all once they are done being edited. They were a dream to work with and I am so happy we went with Moonshine!

Stefan Ludwig Photo + Video 
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Swain, 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.

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!

In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!
