WHAT WE DO

We have covered 350 weddings since 2013.

We focus on weddings because we love showcasing your love.

All the choices: opt for photo only now, then add videos later as needed.

WHAT WE ALSO DO

We film weddings in the same way.

That enables you to relive your wedding day in two ways. Both capture emotions differently. So most couples get both.

WHY CHOOSE US

Also, those videos will make you
feel something.

Like this elopement with close family in Georgia.

TL;DR: German.
Married
to a Buffalo girl.
3 cats.

Hi, I am Stefan. I moved to Buffalo, NY because my wife grew up here and we wanted to be closer to family. We brought over our cat Hugo from Germany (he is now 18y old!) and later adopted Wrestlemania and Gandalfina.

I used to be a journalist, writing about tech companies. As part of this job I started taking photos and film videos which I really loved.

When friends and family asked me to photograph their wedding, I started considering a career change. Since 2013 I have covered well over 300 weddings, mostly in different states in the US as well as some in Germany, Mexico, Canada and Brazil.

Please reach out for detailed pricing!

SHORT COVERAGE STARTS AT $1500

FULL DAY COVERAGE STARTS AT $3500

Photo (or Video) only

$0.00

If you are only looking for photos, I have you covered! Packages typically include 2 photographers. Our style is considerate, mindful and does never get in your way of enjoying your day. My 2nd photographers are selected by focusing on being perfect in talking with your family and guests but yes, they all take incredible photographs as well. And I would not like to bring them if they aren’t fun to be around.

Photo & Highlight Film

$0.00

This is by far our most popular add on! See your wedding in photo and video form to relive the day forever in two beautiful ways. Coverage by 2 photographers so you don’t have too many cameras around you. The wedding should be about you and not having 2 photographers and 2 videographer constantly circling you all day.

Photo, Feature Film & Highlight Film

$0.00

If you really like the idea of having video, you might want to consider our feature film. This also comes with a highlight film, so you have something shorter to watch and share. The feature film is about twice as long and includes full speeches.

ANN & KYLE

STEFAN (ste-fahn) IS SIMPLY AMAZING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! He is extremely professional, punctual, TALENTED, funny, kind, and responds very quickly! Oh, and he's a cat lover like myself which automatically makes him a great person. I thoroughly did my research to make sure I chose the perfect photographer for our personalities. Stefan is the absolute MASTER of candid photos. He is also very willing to take all the group photos you want!! He managed to make me feel SUPER comfortable in front of the camera when I am normally a super awkward person!! He had our photos ready less than a week after our wedding day, amazing! Our photos and video are spectacular and I bawled like a baby going through them with my husband, it felt like it was our wedding day all over again!! He also shot our engagement photos and it felt like we were just casually hanging out with a good friend. Stefan is a great, down to earth guy and I think everyone should hire him for their wedding!!!!!

MICHAEL & BRANDON

Stefan has captured so many special moments in my life. He took our engagementand wedding photos (both incredible!) and even surprised us with a wedding video we didn’t know he was making. Since then, I’ve brought him on to take professional headshots for my company, and most recently, he did family portraits for me, my husband and our kids. Every time, the experience has been effortless and fun, and the photos always feel so alive. Stefan’s work speaks for itself, but what makes him stand out is who he is. He's kind, easygoing and genuinely invested. I can’t recommend him enough.

KATIE & CONOR

Stefan gave us such beautiful photos and videos for our big day. To me, this is one of the most important things to think about during wedding planning. When all is said and done, you have the memories to look back on and having videos & photos that help you perfectly capture this day, is something you cannot put into words. His work is beautiful, professional, and real. He is easy to work with and I love that he managed to capture so many of our friends, family, small details, decor, and little but important moments throughout the day. I hear a big regret from brides is that they did not have their wedding day filmed and I am so glad we chose Stefan to create this highlight film for us.
