Youtube Night in Vienna

Wedding Photos that look like you. Show your real emotions in a candid, documentary style.

WHAT WE 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.

WHAT WE ALSO DO

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 Gandalf and Wrestlemania.

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.

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!!!!!

Stefan has captured so many special moments in my life. He took our engagement and 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.

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.
