About

Hello & Welcome, I'm Dana Marie of Adore Studio.

I have been photographing weddings in and around Buffalo for over a decade. It's my passion and it's safe to say that I ADORE everything about weddings!

The ring, the dress, the flowers, the bride & groom, the vows, the bridal party, the speeches, the venue, & the dance party. My list could go on & on! But do you know what I truly love about being a wedding photographer? It's the fact that my team & I can use our creative skills to capture our couples' most memorable, beautiful day of their lives & our photographs become the heirloom of their love story.

I believe in quality over quantity. I only book one wedding a day, & a limited number of weddings a year. This ensures that I can give my full attention to each one of my couples. I also believe in printing your images! I create professional heirloom albums & photographic prints that will last from generation to generation. From start to finish, every product in my studio showcases quality materials & design. I believe in printing your images, that is why I have included a custom 10x10 wedding album in my signature package.

All services at Adore Studio begin with a consultation. I want to learn about your relationship and what has led you to this incredible occasion. My process is simple: to listen, to create a plan, and then take action together alongside my clients. My ADORE couples will receive a wedding day agenda planner, pre-wedding planning meeting, and we will collaborate to create a Pinterest photo inspiration board. My clients say that I love to collaborate, and I think this is such an important part of the creative process. Whether you live a three minute walk from my studio or halfway across the globe, I love to meetup to discuss ideas for your big day!

I would love the opportunity to chat with you about your wedding photography. Contact me to set up a consultation!

The best experience!

I can’t say literally one word bad about my photography experience on my wedding day with Dana and Kelly. Dana has the most upbeat genuine personality I’ve ever met, which makes you feel so comfortable and enjoy the day even more. Not only did she keep the wedding party and I on time, she made sure every shot I wanted, was done. Even with peeks in between!! She made the day 100x more beautiful, she knows all the good sides, angles and lighting. I truly had the best day with her.

Easy To Work With

Dana and her team were so great to work with! Even with a change in date due to the pandemic, Adore Studio made sure we were satisfied with everything. She is extremely professional and I can't say enough nice things about her. If you love fantastic work and the most beautiful photos being taken, hire Dana and her team for your wedding ... you won't regret it!

The perfect NYE

We knew we wanted to work with Dana right after we met with her - apart from her amazing photos, she just has such an outgoing and friendly personality that we found to be infectious. I had no real ideas about what I wanted for the day and she took care of everything. I loved her little reminders to everyone to stand up straight and smile big - it makes such a big difference! Everyone in our wedding party commented on how nice and easy going Dana was. We really enjoyed working with her and I am so looking forward to seeing all of our pictures!

Dana And Tracey Were absolutely amazing. We truly couldn’t have chosen a better people to capture our day more perfectly than they did. They completely ran the day I made everything go so smoothly. We are so grateful for their work. We look at our pictures all the time and are absolutely in love with the work they have done. The first time I received my photos I cried because i was able to relive the day once again.

To start, Dana is one of the sweetest people I have ever met and choosing Dana Marie Photography was THE best decision we made for our wedding day. Dana is an extremely talented and creative photographer. We met with Dana before our day to go over photos that we wanted to make sure we got, as well as location spots. Dana was very receptive to our ideas and her enthusiasm and positivity is contagious! On the day of, Dana made sure to capture all of the photo inspirations that we had and then some fabulous ideas of her own. Dana kept our wedding party on a timeline for the entire day, knowing what we had time for and what we didn't and she did it all with such a positive attitude and professionalism. The photos of our day are BEAUTIFUL and that is an understatement. We love every single shot taken. So many details and special moments of our day were captured. We have shown the photos to our family and friends as well as sharing some on social media and my husband and I have people calling us and coming up to us at work needing to know who our photographer was because how amazing they think our photos are. We keep getting, "these look like they belong in a magazine!" And they truly do. I feel so thankful for all of the hard work that Dana put in for our day and how spectacular the photos turned out. We can't wait to make our album!!!! I HIGHLY recommended Dana Marie Photography as a wedding photographer and if I could give this review more than 5 stars, I absolutely would without hesitation!

While planning our wedding we came across Dana Marie Photography. I took a chance and gave her a call after reading a few reviews and I couldn't believe how instantly Dana and I clicked. She is the sweetest person and I immediately knew I wanted to book her for our wedding. We met with Dana last year and after 1 hour we said OK, you're hired. Just this past June we did our engagement pictures and Dana was the most accommodating and helpful while doing exactly what I had asked for. She was patient and kind to our daughter who participated in the shoot and the photos were amazing! We are still looking at them! We can't wait to have her take our photos next summer for our wedding!!!! You are getting the best of the best if you hire Dana Marie Photography!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
