• My coverage is simple and straightforward: I’ll personally be there to photograph your wedding, capturing your day with honesty and care. You’ll receive an online gallery with all of your high-resolution files, sneak peeks just days after, and full delivery within 10 days.

    The investment for full day wedding coverage is $2,500. This includes everything you need: me as your photographer for up to 8 hours, your complete gallery, and a stress-free process from start to finish. Extras such as engagement sessions, additional hours, albums, and prints can always be added later if you’d like.

    Thanks to advancements in my editing software, I’m able to simplify the repetitive parts of editing and spend more of my energy on what matters most… people. This allows me to deliver quickly, photograph 30+ weddings each year, and keep my pricing fair while still giving you the full benefit of my experience.

    If you value a calm, grounded approach and want timeless photographs without losing sight of what really matters, I’d love to connect.

  • I’m based in Hamburg, NY and regularly photograph weddings across Buffalo, Rochester, the Finger Lakes, and beyond. I’m available for travel upon request.

  • My approach is all about keeping things fun, relaxed, and real. I’m always moving…anticipating moments, finding beautiful light, and choosing when to step in or stay invisible. Many couples describe my presence as “ninja-like”…always nearby, never in the way.

  • I’ve been using Nikon cameras for over 20 years and now rely on their latest mirrorless systems for their speed, reliability, and image quality. I also occasionally shoot with Leica gear for its distinctive lenses and tonal character. The tools I use are a major investment in your final gallery.

    For editing, I work in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop using a set of custom presets I’ve developed over the years to achieve natural skin tones and true-to-life color. I also integrate AI to streamline the editing process and minimize repetitive adjustments…helping deliver your full gallery faster without compromising quality.

I’m Mike Argento, a wedding photographer based in Buffalo, New York. Over the past 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing more than 500 weddings. When you book me, you get the experience, care, and photographs you deserve. I could go on about my experience and love for this work, but instead I’ll let past couples tell you in their own words…
