Wedding Photography in Buffalo, Ny

Wedding photography should be about more than hiring some stranger to hold a camera and take photos of your day. Your wedding photographer needs to be someone you feel comfortable with, and someone you feel confident in. The beautiful photos are just a bonus.

I'm Ondraea

Buffalo NY Wedding Photographer

Hi! I’m Ondraea – a wedding photographer based in WNY. (but would LOVE to capture your memories anywhere!) Along with being a photographer, I’m mom to two spoiled pitbulls and the sweetest rescue cat, an adventurer, and a Gilmore Girls binge-watcher. I’m always looking to explore and spend time out in nature, and I absolutely LOVE when my couples share that same passion! Providing my couples with images they love is something I strive to accomplish, but my favorite part of being a wedding photographer is the relationships that I build with the wonderful people I work with. I couldn’t imagine just showing up as a stranger to take photos for a couple on one of the most important days of their lives. From the very first email, I’m excited to get to know who you are as a couple, and what is most important to you on your wedding day. From there, my type-A personality comes in to play and I send you all of the information that will help you prepare for each part of the photography process! The experience you receive with me will always be just as important as the memories being captured. Keep scrolling for more information on the process of working with me as your wedding photographer!

I’ll be with you from the getting ready photos, all the way to the party at the end of the night. I’ll be capturing everything from your epic portraits, down to the tears during parent dances. It is important to me that I capture the story of your day carefully & beautifully, so that it can be relived for generations to come.

Kind words from my brides...

"Ondraea Grace Photography is amazing. She captured both my engagement session and day of photos with such ease, grace, and got all the details I would want for future memories. I was extremely excited to be getting an engagement session, and she was so personable and really focused on what we wanted from the session. Leading up to the wedding, she always made sure to check in but it was not too pushy or overboard. She created a timeline for the day of for us, asked for specific details about family and what pictures I wanted captured. Knowing that she had all of the timeline done and ready so I did not have to look at it once day of was such a relief. Ondraea captured all of the tiny details and moments that I didn't even think about. She was all business and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. It really helped set the tone for the day. Ondraea got us our photos in absolutely no time. I think I was day 4 into our honeymoon and she had already sent her "favorites" album. Overall we are extremely thankful for Ondraea and her help capturing our special day..."

Grace

I have worked with Ondraea for our engagement photos, wedding photos and our fall/holiday photos. I remember when I saw her Instagram Page, I knew I had to work with her. Her style was so light and airy and was exactly what I was looking for. She was so easy to work with and really encourages an engagement session so we could get to know each other better and she was able to teach us poses we would end up using on our wedding day. Ondraea is quick to respond, professional and was very organized. She had templates for me to complete that made our wedding day go so smooth. My whole wedding party felt super comfortable with her. We can't wait to work with her again soon..."
