About

At Nick Dantonio Photography, I believe your wedding photos are one of the most important things of your wedding day. These are the pictures you should be excited to show off to your friends and family for the rest of your life.

I have a passion for photographing people in love. I believe great photography is capturing real-life expressions and emotions as they happen.

My goal is not just great photography. I help clients plan a wedding day that both fits their needs, and flows well with all of the different events happening during the day. I strive to make their day easier, more relaxed, and fun!

Since 2007, I've delivered over 80,000 photos to clients. I shoot weddings in and around Buffalo and Rochester, as well as traveling well beyond the Western New York area to meet the needs of my clients. I got my start in photography while in high school and my passion has only grown since then. I've always been known as "the guy with the camera" and I'd love to bring my passion for photography to your special day.

Fun, Professional and Personable!

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!

Highly Recommend!

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!

Pure Excellence

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.
