Buffalo Photo Events

Date, Time, and Duration: What is the official start time, and how many hours of coverage do you anticipate requiring? Do you need us there early for setup/behind-the-scenes shots?

Location & Venue Details: Where is the event taking place? Are there multiple venues or locations we need to travel between during the day?

Primary Goal/Usage: "How do you plan to use these images? (e.g., Social media real-time updates, next year’s marketing brochure, press releases, or participant purchase galleries?).

The 'Hero' Shot: If you could only walk away with one photo that defines the success of this event, what would that image look like?

Turnaround Speed: Do you need a 'Same-Day Edit' (a handful of highlight photos delivered during the event for social media)? What is your deadline for the final full gallery?

File Format & Transfer: Do you require specific file sizes (e.g., high-res for print vs. web-size for social)? We typically deliver via a secure online gallery—does that work for your team?

What I love most about professional photography is the ability to translate energy into value.

Whether it’s a large-scale corporate conference or a charity 5K, organizers put months of work into planning an event. My job is to ensure that effort is immortalized. I love finding the angles that make an event look grand, successful, and vibrant.

There is a satisfaction in delivering a gallery that I know will help a business sell out their tickets next year or support a non-profit secure their next big sponsor. I love being a strategic partner in my client's success, using my lens to tell their brand's story.

I wanted to build a local photography brand that understood the landscape and the logistics of Western New York events. Big, national photography chains often send generic shooters who don't know the course or the culture. I started Buffalo Photo Event to offer a local, expert alternative—someone who knows exactly where the sun sets over the waterfront and exactly how to capture the heart of this city.

Because We Know Buffalo.

We aren't a national chain sending a freelancer from three hours away. Buffalo Photo Event is locally owned and operated. We know the lighting at Canalside at sunset. We know the logistical challenges of Buffalo’s marathon routes. We know how to protect gear during a lake effect snowstorm.

Experience: Over 10 years of shooting specifically in the Western New York region.

Connection: We know the local race directors, the venues, and the vibe of the community.

Trust: We have a proven track record with a 98% client satisfaction rate.

Choose us because we are your neighbors, and we are invested in your success.

Yes, absolutely. Even for a hands-on service like photography, much of the value we provide is digital and can be handled remotely to save you time and streamline logistics.

We respect that every client and venue has different comfort levels.

On Request: Our photographers always carry high-quality masks in their camera bags. If you or your venue prefers our staff to be masked while indoors or near vulnerable populations, simply ask. We are happy to comply without hesitation.

Crowd Safety: In highly congested indoor starting corrals or packed conference halls, our staff is trained to prioritize their own hygiene and mask up to prevent being a vector of transmission.
