Church event photographer
I photograph services, anniversaries and celebrations for churches across Western New York. I know how a service moves — when to be invisible and when to gather everyone for the group photo — and I work without interrupting worship.

Church coverage questions
Where are you located?
I'm based in Western New York and shoot across upstate — Buffalo, Rochester, Utica and everywhere in between.
Do you travel?
Yes. For sessions outside my usual radius, travel amenities like gas and tolls are covered by the client.
How far in advance should I book?
At least 2–4 months in advance, depending on the type of shoot. Weddings and larger events fill up first.
How many photos will I receive?
It depends on your package — see Session Packages for the image count included with each one.
Session Packages →How long until I receive my gallery?
Roughly two weeks, depending on how many images you purchased.
What's your cancellation & rescheduling policy?
A non-refundable 25% retainer holds your date and goes toward your total. You may move your session once for free, as long as you let me know at least 7 days ahead and a new date is available. If you reschedule with less than 7 days' notice — or need to move the date a second time — a new 25% retainer is required. If you cancel, the retainer is not returned. Bad weather is the exception: outdoor sessions are always rescheduled at no cost.
