Tracey Buyce Photography

During the whole planning process, Tracey impressed us every step of the way — she’s sharp, with-it, and truly invested in making the wedding day as perfect as it can be. Tracey made a huge effort to get to know us as people during the process. We live in NYC, so we only could come up to Saratoga a few times on specific weekends, and Tracey made sure to make herself available to meet with us, walk through the venue and work things out. Day of, Tracey was our hero. As we had gotten to know each other, we realized we shared a love of corgis — she was a corgi owner herself and we had a puppy on the way in the following months. As a giant surprise, Tracey organized for her friend to show up with FIVE CORGIS to come play with us for a while during our wedding shoot. It was magical — it honestly felt like a dream. I can’t thank Tracey enough for creating and capturing such a special and joyful moment on our wedding day. More than that, and aside from Tracey’s unbeatable talent and spirit, Tracey was really there for me personally. As a bride, having all the anxiety of the wedding day and lots of people around me constantly, it was so calming and relaxing to be able to step back from the madness and talk to Tracey, someone who has done and seen it all when it comes to weddings and can genuinely empathize. She was my rock and my shining star throughout the entire day, and I can’t thank her enough. Bonus: My birthday was about a month after the ceremony, when only a few sneak peek photos had been edited and sent over. My new husband asked Tracey to send an additional photo that he could get framed for a birthday present and she was right on it. I was so thankful to see another early glimpse of the day, and appreciate Tracey so much for helping make that happen.

camera and we didn't want a photographer that was going to put us in a lot of cheesy poses (of course to each their own but we're too awkward for that!) - Tracey listened to us, answered all of our questions and totally put us at ease before and during the wedding day. She went out of her way to meet us for coffee when we were in town (we were coming up from NYC) so she could get a sense of us and the best way to achieve the ascetic that we were looking for. She was AMAZING at not only taking striking photographs, but also at the logistics of being a wedding photographer, which honestly is almost equally as important as the pictures themselves. For such a sweet, kind person she was wonderfully assertive during the day itself so we didn't have to be and didn't waste time and miss out on the wedding itself, she asked questions and was mindful about family dynamics, and she gave us input on our photo list. I cannot say enough about how important Tracey's experience was, because it led to a basically stress free day-of where we got all of the photographs we wanted. With respect to the photographs themselves, we are obsessed with them and we've received such amazing responses to her photos. She captured wonderful, candid moments that convey the emotions and atmosphere of the day almost better than an actual video would. Also important, she captured all of the people that we wanted photographed, which made all of our parents very happy. Tracey was professional, thoughtful and responsive throughout and took the most amazing pictures that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I cannot say enough to recommend Tracey.

dor, she made getting pictures taken so easy and natural. Tracey has a way of capturing such raw emotion in her pictures that are just breathe taking. Her work is incredible, you will regret not booking Tracey for your wedding day!

we received them… she so perfectly captured the evolving emotions of our day. Through the images, we’re now able to relive our love, laughter and tears (which is the whole point, right?) As for the day itself, Tracey’s done so many weddings, she could probably do them in her sleep - that’s how well-versed she is in preparing, coordinating and executing a game plan. But my wedding day did NOT go according to plan.. The remnants of Hurricane Harvey swooped through the region, changing our ceremony site, first look site, portrait sites, etc. And yet, she was able to adjust on the flow, coming up with ideas the night before, showing up early, communicating with our venue staff to ensure our new sites would be pristine, etc. She even discreetly fought off pressure from the venue to wrap up pictures early, knowing how badly we would want them all. The way I describe her to everybody is simple - she gets stuff done - she’s a boss! When you combine that with her experience, vision, and ability to make each picture dance (or laugh, or cry) then you get one hell of a photographer. Happy she was ours!

t it was like we had known her forever. During the wedding ceremony and reception, we didn't even see Tracey, but she captured so many special moments. We received teaser photos the following day and our expectations were exceeded. We were both speechless and couldn't wait to see all of them! When you receive your photos, it is like you are reliving your wedding day every time you view them. They say a photo is worth a thousand words, but Tracey's photography is priceless. Tracey, thank you for truly capturing our love and sharing our day with us!

or a more stunning photographic journal of our day, capturing so many moments and raw emotions that I didn’t realize was possible. There are so many photos worth framing, and I cannot wait to get started. There are few moments she missed, if any, and I think it’s also worth mentioning that we barely even noticed her or her second photographer, Seth, at the reception—they completely blended in, while still getting amazing shots. Secondly, spending the day with Tracey was so fun and easy—she is comfortable, relatable, funny, and perhaps most importantly, a natural leader who is so good at corralling bridal parties, families, and other scenes and making it happen. Finally, Tracey really listened to what we wanted, and executed. She was completely open to a more unique first-look timeline and other special ideas and requests we had that day. Hiring Tracey was definitely one of the best wedding planning decisions we made and I highly recommend her.

our minds at ease- making it so our photos would be something we could enjoy and cherish rather than stress over. She is extremely professional and works efficiently to capture all of your ideal shots- you will not notice her throughout your ceremony and reception- she makes everyone feel comfortable being photographed without interrupting the process of events. Tracey is such a positive presence when the nerves kick in- she is fun, flexible and has the BEST sense of humor. Our photos are perfect and we cannot thank her enough for capturing our day!!

love with the town. I couldn't think of a better backdrop. My fiancé was not overly excited about the photo session, but ended up having a great time! Tracey put us at ease immediately and we genuinely had a blast. She listened to us and tailored the session accordingly. The pictures were exactly what we wanted and more! We've had so many compliments about how the pictures really capture "us." Tracey exceeded our expectations.

dding world, and her photos reflect her skills.

ner no matter how I contacted them. I would recommend them a million times!! They're pictures are beautiful!

on which was fabulous - she suggested a location and the pictures looked like they were out of a magazine or high end retail catalog shoot. Preparing for our wedding, she had great suggestions for the timeline and where to take our family photos. She did an amazing job all day long of being fun, relaxed, creative, and spontaneous. She took at the posed shots we wanted, but was around all day taking candid shots without being obtrusive (at many previous weddings I attended I noticed how in the face of the bride/groom the photographer was, but not Tracey). She even helped us roll our cake off the dance floor when our caterer dropped the ball!! If you're looking for someone energetic who shoots in a creative photojournalistic way, you really can't go wrong with Tracey.

do staged photos (although she does that amazingly well too) she captures the best in candid emotion. Looking at my wedding photos was like looking at a wedding magazine ... and its all ours! Cant wait to work with Tracey again! ... Baby bump session soon?... ;-)

I loved the way she was able to capture the atmosphere and get wonderful photographs without being intrusive or making us or the guests feel like we were in the spotlight or that she was in the way of us enjoying our special day. Tracey was flexible throughout the process and exceeded our expectations in every way. Her photos are brilliant and I can't stop looking at them and re-living the day!
