Who I am:

German. Married to a Buffalo girl. 3 cats.


Hello there! I'm Stefan Ludwig, a passionate wedding and family photographer based out of Buffalo, NY, where I moved about 8 years ago.


Why Buffalo? Because my wife grew up here. I was born and raised in Münster, Germany and lived most recently in Vienna, Austria. I worked as a journalist for financial newspapers, websites and magazines. I wrote mainly about tech companies such as Apple, Facebook, Google among other things. As part of my job I was exposed to photography and filmmaking and discovered a passion. It didn’t take long for family and friends to ask me to photograph their weddings. I realized how much fun it was to be part of such an emotional day which you remember for a lifetime. Since then, I have been a wedding photographer and videographer at more than 300 weddings in the USA, Germany, Mexico, Canada and Brazil. My work has been featured in Artvoice, the Buffalo Wedding Magazine as well as in the Rochester Wedding Magazine.

What couples say about us

Stefan did such a fantastic job at our wedding! He was soft spoken and had a ton of patience with our wild families (Lol). He was incredibly nice and even went into bushes filled with mosquitoes just to make our pictures that much more perfect. But what really made him the best was his generosity... A week after our wedding, my grandpa passed away and Stefan captured my very last moments with him. When I reached out to Stefan requesting those photos sooner than the rest, he immediately sent them to me so I could share them with my family at his funeral. That is above and beyond exceptional service. Thank you for making our wedding a day filled with endless smiles and happy tears!

From the very beginning Stefan was reliable and professional. We planned our wedding from half way across the country and Stefan made communicating easy whether it was FaceTime, e-mail, phone calls, or texts. This was so helpful to keep us both on the same page beforehand. On our big day Stefan and his second photographer (Libby) were talented, fun, and punctual! We are so thankful that grabbed us at just the right time for our sunset shoot. Within 3 weeks we had all our photos and within 1 month we had both videos (short and feature) and are beyond thrilled with the quality. Your wedding day goes by in a flash and all you have left is your photos and video -- choose wisely! Thanks, Stefan! :)

STEFAN IS SIMPLY AMAZING. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! He is extremely professional, punctual, TALENTED, funny, kind, and responds very quickly! Oh, and he's a cat lover which automatically makes him a great person. I thoroughly did my research to make sure I chose the perfect photographer for our personalities. Stefan is the absolute MASTER of candid photos. He is also very willing to take all the group photos you want!! He managed to make me feel SUPER comfortable in front of the camera when I am normally a super awkward person!! He had our photos ready less than a week after our wedding day, amazing! Our photos and video are spectacular and I bawled like a baby going through them with my husband, it felt like it was our wedding day all over again!!
