About this vendor
We are a creative team of wedding and portrait photographers. We specialize in natural, relaxed, documentary style wedding and family photography. Buffalo, NY is our home base, but we love to travel and are always seeking out adventure! Whether your wedding is taking place in a far off exotic location, or right here in the Nickel City, we would love to be there to tell your story.
We approach every wedding day knowing that the images we create will be a part of your story forever. This means the world to us, and is the heart behind everything we do. We work most often in a documentary style, quietly capturing those fleeting seconds between the poses and the formalities - the tear on the cheek, the squeeze of a hand, the quickly exchanged glances, the sudden burst of laughter - because we feel that these precious, candid and unplanned moments are the ones that truly make up the story of your day. Because we invest so much of ourselves into our couples, it’s very important that we feel a genuine connection with them. We accept a limited number of weddings each year to ensure that each couple we work with has an incredible experience from start to finish. We believe very strongly that our couples deserve nothing less. If this all sounds like exactly what you’ve been searching for, then we’d love to start a conversation with you about your hopes and dreams for your wedding day.

Jenn and Ben were such a home run when it came to photographing our wedding day and we couldn't be happier that we chose them to capture such an important day in our lives! We have...
n't been able to stop looking at our photos from the day the album was published!
Jenn and Ben were the best photographers I could have asked for!! Their natural approach to photography is what drew us in, and we absolutely love the quality of their work. Jenn a...
nd Ben truly have so much experience and were an essential resource for us as we planned our wedding and day-of timeline. Since they are a team, we were also able to get all of the coverage we were hoping for from the beginning of our day getting ready, all the way through the cocktail hour and reception. I highly recommend them!
My husband and I were disappointed in our experience with Ayres Photography. We hired them based on the positive reviews online and through people we know. We did love some of our ...
photos, but it was upsetting that we didn’t get photos we requested ahead of time and at the wedding. Ben actually told me “no” when I asked for a simple photo at the wedding. But beyond not being completely thrilled with our photos, we were really upset by their behavior during the wedding. Ben made quite a few negative comments right in front of me and my guests. We had friends, family and vendors tell us after how rude the photographers were to them. Jenn didn’t seem to want to be there at all and didn’t make me and my bridesmaids feel comfortable. They made us feel like they were doing us a favor, and that it was just a job for them. We didn’t get the warm and friendly treatment that others (in reviews) seemed to receive. They didn't take time to get to know us at all - everything they posted about us was from an online document we filled out for them. My husband and I sent them an email expressing our disappointment and wondering why we were treated differently, but they never even responded to us. So that’s why I’m writing the only negative review I’ve ever left. I hate doing it, but if it helps just one person second guess their decision and hopefully lead them to a better choice, then I feel like it’s what I need to do.
Jenn and Ben are more than photography partners. They take the time to get to know their couples/customers and it truly shows in the work they do. The photos we got back from our e...
ngagement session, to our wedding sneak peak, to the full wedding shoot - they truly captured the uniqueness of our relationship! Ayres Photography are dedicated artists and we are so glad and thankful to have worked with them! We have the most beautiful photos that honestly bring back the emotions of those moments and you cannot put a price on that. You can't go wrong with this partnership. Thank you Jenn and Ben!
Jenn was one of the first people I contacted after getting engaged, and after an initial meeting that lasted almost 2 hours we knew we didn't have to talk to anyone else! There ar...
e really no words to describe the amazing emotion, realness, and love that Jenn and Ben captured the day of our wedding. There is no one better!
Jenn & Ben are simply the best. The quality of love and care they put into their photos shines through. I would book them again in a heartbeat.

ut them! They spent hours with us for our engagement session and we got so many great pictures! It was much more than I could have expected. So far I have only seen a preview of our wedding photos but the ones that I have seen are beautiful! I cannot wait to see the rest! Jen and Ben were awesome to work with! So fun and easy to get along with. I also liked that they have a Facebook so that we were able to see recent posts and share with our friends.
Jenn and Ben Ayres are among the top photographers in Western/Central NY and you would be very lucky to get to work with them. I haven't received my proofs or books yet, but judgin...
g by our engagement session their photos are great. Their style is real and natural photojournalism, with just enough shots with dramatic lighting to mix it up. Their lead time is a little long compared to standard photographers, but this is more of an FYI than a complaint because the end result is worth the wait!
Ben & Jenn were so great! We love the pictures so much! They were so relaxed and flexible and made everything go so smoothly. We are especially proud of the blog that they created ...
after our wedding-so special. We had looked at a LOT of photographer sites and could not get past the shots that we saw on their site for previous events. We got exactly what we hoped for!
Ben & Jenn are amazing at what they do! They capture so much expression and feeling into their artsy, creative eye of photography. They are truly the best and I'm so glad we went...
with them.
