Stefan Ludwig Photo + Video 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Amherst, 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.

“From the start, Stefan was very detail-oriented and attentive. We used him for two cultural events and one reception. He was very communicative and understanding. As a couple that is not comfortable in the spotlight, Stefan worked well with our insecurities and our cultural nuances. He was incredibly creative with small spaces, multiplae locations, and using props found around the spaces. He shot the two events alone and added Adam for teh reception. They were both able to adapt quickly due to some unforeseen rain and rolled with the punches of different cultural expectations. We never felt awkward, but felt stunning and feel the photos showed how truly happy we were on that day.”

Weddings are more than beautiful photos—they're the moments you'll never get to experience the same way again. Our passion is preserving those moments exactly as they happen, from the quiet emotions before the ceremony to the celebration on the dance floor. We believe the best photographs are the ones that feel real. The tears, laughter, stolen glances, and genuine connections are what tell your story, and that's where our focus stays throughout your wedding day.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Zechariah for our wedding! He was recommended by our officiant, and after seeing his portfolio, we felt he was a great fit for our small civil ceremony at Niagara Falls State Park. Communication was excellent from the beginning. He was kind, responsive, and very flexible in creating a 1.5-hour photography session that worked perfectly for our intimate wedding. On the wedding day, he was punctual, professional, patient, and genuinely pleasant to work with. His experience photographing at Niagara Falls was a huge plus; he had great ideas for locations, poses, and compositions, while also giving us space to be spontaneous and natural. He made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and did a great job organizing our family photos as well. We loved the final photographs!. He captured beautiful scenery, spontaneous moments, and so many different emotions and expressions. The gallery was delivered on time, was easy to access and download, and included a generous number of photos. Zechariah is genuine, cheerful, and professional, and we would absolutely recommend him to other couples!”

“I spent countless hours searching through wedding photographer portfolios before I found Emily, and the moment I saw her work, I knew she was the perfect fit. Her ability to capture genuine, natural moments while highlighting the beauty of the surrounding landscape immediately stood out. We got married outdoors in the middle of winter in Vermont, and Emily embraced the adventure with incredible creativity. She captured the snowy scenery in a way that felt ethereal and almost otherworldly. Every photo is stunning, and we honestly had a hard time choosing a favorite. Working with Emily was effortless. I never had to send inspiration photos or Pinterest boards because she understood my vision better than I did. She guided us through each pose with ease, making us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. If you're looking for a photographer who has an incredible creative eye, embraces adventure, and captures authentic, meaningful moments, I couldn't recommend Emily more. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we'll cherish these photos forever!”

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.”

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!”
