TLDR amazing for wedding photo/video package deal, very easy to work with, and BEAUTIFUL results…read more Coming from NYC, when my husband and I started planning our Buffalo wedding, I relied heavily on social media to find a video/photographer I really liked. I came across Expressions Studios and their photography + Videography package was too good to pass up on. Not only did it include a full wedding day coverage, but because we were getting married at Avanti Mansion, we also got an engagement photography session. After a couple of phone calls with them, we decided to choose them for our wedding. We had Paul, Alexandra (photographer), and Aaron (videographer) work on our wedding. For our engagement photoshoot in a garden, Alexandra was able to guide us through poses that made it look natural and also allowed us to do our own thing to make our personalities shine through the photos. She also has a great eye for finding good angles and backgrounds. We were so happy with the photos and couldn't wait for the wedding day. Leading up to the wedding day, we had a phone call to discuss the important shots and moments we want highlighted. For our wedding day, both Alexandra and Aaron captured the best moments of the day. They were able to move around so quickly and get all the angles, but we barely noticed them. We got our photos about a month after our wedding. They gave us ALL 1000+ photos they took with color enhancements (sepia, black&white, or color). It took awhile to go thru and choose photos where everyone's eyes are open - but I personally preferred it this way and being able to choose my own photos I want to keep. We got our 12 min video and 1 min highlight video at the same time around 1.5 months after the wedding - I was hoping to get the 1 min trailer sooner after the wedding to relive the day, but the 12 min version was definitely worth the wait.

They called me a day before to confirm my appointment and when I went to my appointment I was attended right away. Their studio seems to be a house garage which they redid the whole place. They took the pictures and thirty mins later they already send me an email to choose which photos I like so they can edit them. I got the results within an hour of taking the photo. Overall, great and fast photo studio around Amherst.

This went SO smoothly. Also, the photo process was very expedient. We showed up 15 minutes early and were reviewing photos before our appt even started. They turned out great and were touched up and uploaded to the yearbook that evening!! Thank you!

ALANA! I found you on Yelp!! So I'm going to go in-depth here on why you - yes you, reading this…read morereview - should consider Alana Adetola Arts Photography for your professional photographing needs! We first worked with Alana and her team during our friends' wedding in 2023, and needless to say we were impressed immediately with her ability to organize everyone to get the bridal party photos she needed and we wanted. We kept her name in our heads for our own wedding plans, and when we were ready to begin the first steps, Alana was the very first phone call we made. Now, needless to say, as a first-time fiance I had never planned a wedding before. No idea where to begin. When I tell you Alana's first consultation was the BEST thing for us, she was absolutely amazing! She gave us a pretty rough idea of how a wedding day would typically go from a photographer's perspective, and we were able to basically wrap our plans around her schedule. I am so grateful for that. She was able to put my mind at ease, was incredibly thorough and communicative, and I could not WAIT for her to photograph our wedding. We had a second consultation/conversation a few weeks before our wedding date as well, and even with me feeling absolutely CRAZY about any potential hiccups with our wedding, she was able to make me laugh and help focus on the important thing - me, my husband (then fiance), and OUR special day. She had been great up to that point, so of course, I was expecting the day itself to be pretty great too! Little did I know I would be BLOWN AWAY with how amazing Alana was. Somewhat last minute I moved our meetup spot to a different location, where my husband and I did our first look and exchanged private vows, and Alana was able to accomodate - and in the end, everything worked out really well. She is a PRO at directing you in the absolute kindest way possible. I can't even explain it, there's just something about the way she can guide you along with the process in order to capture some of the best photos that you will undoubtedly cherish for the rest of your life. I was even getting complements and kind words from family members who were in attendance, about how great she was. While we looked at other photographers and their costs - in the end, the cost was worth it, and let's face it, Alana was ALWAYS our first choice! I will never be able to recreate what a perfect day our wedding was, but if I had to do it all over again I would still want Alana as our photographer. I will recommend her for any and all professional photos every single time. She is so worth it. She is amazing. Thank you again, Alana!

Amazing professionalism and the pictures are always top notch. We will continue to use Alana again.read more

She answered every question we had and she even gave us a timeline we used for our wedding day. Lindsey has a really easy process/questionaire that we filled out close to our wedding day that helped wedding day photos be seamless. As for the photos - absolutely amazing! Our venue was so excited we booked Lindsey because they knew how great her photos turn out. Additionally, she gave us about 70 photos as the sneak peak within 24hrs of our wedding and then gave us the full gallery about 2.5 weeks after our wedding - unheard of!!

As an event planner, I understand the importance of honest reviews. Here's our experience with…read moreCarla for my September 2024 wedding. We initially met Carla at Château du Feÿ, where she was employed. After a disappointing experience with another planner, we hired Carla 5 months before our wedding, hoping her 3+ years of specialized venue expertise would be invaluable. To our surprise, Carla had not worked with half of our vendors before - even though they were part of the short list of recommended vendors provided by the venue. Despite her website's claims, Carla's design suggestions felt generic and lacked the personalized touch we were looking for. Carla's lack of attention to detail became increasingly apparent as we worked with her. Our wedding had many unique and custom details. Lots of information that a seasoned wedding planner would be able to keep an attentive handle on. The mounting oversights caused significant stress in the final weeks leading up to the wedding. We were genuinely anxious that our vision wouldn't be realized. Luckily, we had multiple vendors and family friends that helped Carla execute the event. As the bride, I distanced myself as much as possible from Carla to allow myself to enjoy the day without frustration. This is not the typical experience. While we appreciate Carla's willingness to take us on with short notice, and she did have some helpful insights regarding sourcing a local florist and unique videographers, her lack of attention to detail ultimately overshadowed those positives. Feel free to message me if you have questions about our experience.

Toy bro's was one of the recommendations from Avanti Mansion. We had them for our ceremony, reception, and also booked their Photo Booth. They made sure the processional music went smoothly, and started playing the songs at the exact time I asked them to. During the reception, they played songs our guests didn't really know - but that's more my fault of not being more specific of the crowd/demographic's taste in music during the week before consultation. Tip for those still planning your weddings: give genres and SPECIFIC artists you want the DJ to play throughout the night! The absolute highlight of everyone's night was the Photo Booth, which was manned by Jeff's dad, Chris (?? It was loud and hard to hear - sorry if I got his name wrong!). He was so sweet giving us ideas on how to pose for the different shots, made sure everyone got a copy of photos, put together the ENTIRE scrapbook for us, AND made sure everyone signed/write a message for us. The scrapbook was we filled from front to back with messages and photos, and it's something we will cherish and look back on for the rest of our lives. As a couple not from Buffalo, Toy Bros were super easy to work and communicate with even without being in person.
