About this vendor

MAIN PHOTOGRAPHER
BGF Photography is a photography company based in Buffalo, NY, offering wedding photography and videography services in the Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Finger Lakes regions.
Our specialty is candid journalistic wedding photography. For the important moments while getting ready and, of course, bridal portraits, I will lightly guide my couples to get the best photos.
The rest of the wedding day, I'm looking for candid moments of emotion. I believe the best photos are taken a few seconds before and after you see the camera pointed in your direction. My favorite images of the wedding day are ones where the couple are enjoying their time with wedding guests, blissfully unaware their moment is being captured.
We aim to preserve all of the big emotions and precious moments from your special day. From your walk down the aisle to dancing with your loved ones, we will document your memories for you. You will receive your images in an online digital gallery so you can easily share them with your family and friends and order prints and albums.
I encourage doing an engagement session with me before the wedding to get familiar with me as a photographer and get comfortable posing in front of a camera.
For the 2025 season, we’re excited to offer highlight films as part of our wedding packages! These 3-5 minute cinematic films are a perfect middle ground for couples who want a beautiful recap of their wedding day without the need for a full videography team. Highlight films focus on the most meaningful moments—like your vows, candid emotions, and stunning visuals—blended into a heartfelt, shareable keepsake. It’s an ideal way to relive your day while keeping things simple and intimate.
Meet the team
- BillyMain PhotographerHello! I'm Billy, a new father, husband and a camera nerd. My passion is simply to bring joy to your wedding day. I started my wedding vendor journey as a DJ in college, helping couples plan their perfect celebrations and ensuring the music set the right mood. Three summers as a wedding DJ showed me that the wedding industry is where I will eventually find my dream job. As a kid, one of my earliest memories was playing with my grandfather's film cameras. Grew older, got a big boy job, and put my dreams on hold to pay the bills as many do. Ten years ago, I picked up my first full frame mirrorless camera, threw on a vintage lens from the 1980's, and found my way back to my lifelong artistic medium. A few years afterwards I shot my first wedding, drawing on my weekend hobby of street photography to capture candid, spontaneous moments. Combining my love for capturing candid moments with my experience in creating unforgettable experiences, I want to document the genuine joy, love, and tears that make your day truly memorable.
