There is no one we would recommend more to shoot one of the biggest days of your life than Nick!

He did the most amazing job, and from the first meeting with him he was an absolute pro and helped make the planning process a breeze.

He paid extra close attention to every detail and helped us more than we could have ever expected.

We couldn’t be happier with how the pictures turned out. We chose Nick because his work looked elegant and wasn’t the typical shots you’d see from other photographers, and when it came to our pictures he executed the day perfectly.

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was having Nick as our photographer. As we were planning our wedding from out of state, Nick was very flexible in being able to meet with us virtually several times. Our photos were one of the most important things to us and as an interracial couple, it was important to us that our photographer had experience photographing couples with different skin tones. Nick did a great job making sure we both looked our best in all different settings and lighting. He also listened to any requests or ideas we had and made sure to incorporate them into our day. As an experienced wedding photographer, Nick was able to help us plan a timeline that helped our day flow smoothly. He made sure that we were on time for pictures, transportation, and different events throughout the day. He also gave us advice on different things, from choosing locations to shoot to the order for different speeches and dances at the reception. Since we did not have an official wedding coordinator besides the day-of coordinator at our reception venue, Nick helped us plan our day which took some stress off of us. He helped make our day seamless and brought a sense of calmness to our day. As someone who does not like to be the center of attention, I was a little worried of how I would feel being in front of a camera all day. However, Nick made me feel comfortable and our pictures with my new husband and our wedding party ended up being one of my favorite parts of our wedding. He made it so that I didn’t have to worry about the timeline for the rest of the day, which allowed me to be in the moment during our pictures and take it in fully. We also had a relatively large wedding party, and Nick was able to manage everyone efficiently. Our package included a second professional photographer, which Nick arranged and worked very well with. We highly recommend a second shooter to capture more of your day, especially if the groom’s and bridal party are getting ready at different locations. We also coordinated our photo booth through Nick which was a hit with our guests. It was a busy spot the whole night! After our wedding, Nick had some sneak peaks ready for us within a few days and even sent us a beautiful picture book as a gift the next week. He also helped us make our photo album and plan our wall art which we can’t wait to get. He also gifted us a copy of The Five Love Languages at our photo reveal meeting, and shared some advice as we start our marriage. You can tell that he really cares about his clients and takes a lot of pride in his work. We loved how our pictures came out. They allow you to feel all the love that was shared that day. We are so happy that we chose Nick to capture our day and would not have had it any other way!

Nick was a great photographer! He was extremely kind and professional through the whole process! He brought caring and calm presence to the day which was much appreciated:) We had our engagement shoot and our wedding photos through him and both turned out amazing! He is very flexible and will work with you for whatever you need! I recommend him to anyone!

I got connected with Nick Dantonio, after being highly recommended by my family.. as he did my step sisters wedding as well! Nick’s not just a “regular photographer”, he cares, is personable, professional, enthusiastic, and there for you and anything you may need!

The best thing about Nick is he doesn’t just go and take pictures.. because of course he can do that anyday; but he takes his time to sit down with you in person to get to know you and your spouse better, take the time to figure out what package is best for you without any pressure, gets to know each of you as individuals as well as together as a couple, and of course gives you killer photos in return!

Not only is Nick a professional photographer, but his role at an event is truly impeccable! He’s taking photos, taking charge, getting people where they need to go promptly but professionally, making sure we’re doing good & checking in on us, pulling us aside to just take a moment, or get an amazing photo that we didn’t think about, asking us what we needed.. and even if it wasn’t photo related Nick was doing it!

I can sit here and go on about how amazing he was, and why all the reasons you should book him.. but I’d be here all day; honestly don’t hesitate you will not regret it. I will 100% be recommending Nick to everyone I know, and easily my favorite vendor! Thank you for making our wedding day run smoothly, and making it the wedding of our dreams! We appreciated you!

We highly recommend Nick to anyone who is looking for a truly gifted, experienced, and encouraging photographer!
My husband and I spent a lot of time researching and interviewing wedding photographers in the Western New York area. We knew that we wanted to work with someone who would be able to photograph real authentic moments throughout our day while also being a positive presence. We put so much time, thought, resources, and heart into our wedding, and having a skilled photographer/videographer to capture all of our memories was a priority for us.

We ultimately chose Nick because of his beautiful portfolio, clear dedication to his craft, fun personality, and specific experience with weddings.

We are so thankful to him and his team for their hard work, both leading up to our wedding and especially on our wedding day. Before our wedding, Nick met with us to make sure he knew us as a couple, our story, our wants, and any priorities we had. He even helped us create a thoughtful wedding timeline. On our wedding day, he and his lovely team arrived promptly and prepared. From the moment they arrived, they truly encouraged us to be ourselves and to have fun. He listened to us throughout the day and consistently checked in to see if there was anything we wanted. He was impressively efficient and helped us get so many shots in different places. He paid close attention to details, from fluffing my dress throughout the day to gently making sure our dance floor was clear for our first dances to helping us know what to do with our hands during some of our posed photos. He had lots of creative ideas for unique shots in our venue.

I didn’t realize before my own wedding how much time you will spend with your photographers. They were with me while I was getting ready, during my first look, as my extended family gathered for the first time in forever, as I exchanged personal vows, as I celebrated, and through lots of happy tears and big emotions. While it could be uncomfortable to spend such personal and significant moments with a stranger, Nick and his team both gave us space and felt like old friends who were genuinely happy for me and my husband. It was a dream to have someone who was as personable and warm as he is talented. He clearly knows how special wedding days are and has the skill set to help you navigate all of the things that can happen. We are forever thankful for Nick, for the beautiful photos, and for the candid moments of love and joy he captured for us.

We can’t say enough about how wonderful Nick was to work with. He absolutely was 100% the right choice for our engagement photos and to capture the most precious moments on our special day. He made sure throughout our wedding day we got all the photos we requested with our bridal party and with family. He coordinated with others for videography and a second shooter, going above and beyond. Nick is extremely talented and we are so thankful he was with us on the best day of our lives!

Our experience with Nick was amazing. He is incredibly responsive and took the time
to get to know us as a couple prior to the wedding day. He is an artist and he just knows how to get the best pictures in an efficient manner which is huge on the wedding day for stress levels lol. We opted for the second shooter and it was the best choice as well. Jeb was awesome and they worked so well together as a team. We've only gotten our sneak peek back and we are obsessed. He sent us a little album booklet as well with a trifold of our bridal party and it just goes to show he adds that personal touch that is so worth it. Pictures from your wedding day will last a lifetime and I'm so glad we went with him! I cannot recommend Nick enough he goes above and beyond!

Nick did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and wedding highlight video. Each photo was amazing! He puts thought and pride into his work. Nick consults with you before the wedding day to walk through timeline, any specific photos or locations that are wanted etc.. While taking the photos Nick puts you at ease while taking the photos and has you pose correctly to make the most of each photo.

When your photos are ready, Nick has you come to his studio to see the masterpiece he has created. He even has a wedding album put together for you to look and purchase if you like (no pressure whatsoever to buy).

If you are looking for a professional photographer who puts you at comfort and ease through the wedding process, then Nick is your guy!

Nick is not just a class act but an incredibly hard worker who takes his business seriously. Not only does he work with premier wedding venues in WNY, but he personally drove to Maine to take over 100gb of photos for a wedding. Standing in mud and a Tidal River to get the perfect shot, nothing was too extreme. The photography is beautiful, full of natural light and very little filters to bring you memorable photos that never look fake or littered with photoshop work. From 11am to 9:30pm he continuously took photos to capture every moment possible throughout the day. His professionalism shined every moment and always made sure you were happy but that he was in control. It’s the perfect balance! HIGHLY recommend using him for your biggest day as well as other important life events to ensure you’re getting the best quality and best bang for your buck. If you’re in WNY, look no further.

We did our engagement and wedding photos with Nick. I would highly recommend doing both (you will see why later). In our engagement session, we needed a lot of coaching to get the right shots. Nick was great at giving us tips so we felt natural, and we ended up having a great time despite being nervous before the session started. We were excited to share our
"save the dates" featuring the great shots we had. When it came time for the wedding, we already were very comfortable with Nick since we did the Engagement shoot. The last thing you need on your wedding day is to feel nervous in front of the camera. Nick made sure to catch all the great moments and get a feature shot that I am sure you are familiar with if you visited his page.

My favorite part about working with Nick was his lifetime perspective on weddings. His shots are different. There are plenty of great shots for Instagram and Facebook, but he also captures the day in a way that you will want to share with your family for many years. I'll let him tell you the story of why he views it that way. Our wedding album is truly a family heirloom and something I personally count as a prized possession. I would definitely recommend Nick to any couples looking for a photographer.
