Muslim Weddings in Buffalo: photography & video

Muslim weddings share a common heart, the nikah, but the celebrations around it look very different from family to family. An Arab wedding may open with a zaffa of drums and dancing, a Turkish family may hold a henna night, a Somali, Nigerian or Malaysian wedding brings its own music and dress, and many couples, including converts, blend traditions of their own. MacroSnaps photographers and videographers plan coverage around how your family celebrates, from the nikah to the walima.

Buffalo is a major city in New York, home to roughly 258,000 people. Whether your Muslim wedding is at Buffalo AKG Art Museum, The Buffalo History Museum or a family home, your MacroSnaps crew arrives early to check light, angles and any venue rules.

We are careful with religious and family preferences. If the nikah takes place in a masjid, we follow its guidelines on dress, shoes and where we can stand, and we confirm with the imam whether any part should not be photographed or filmed. If your events are gender-segregated, if some guests prefer not to be photographed, or if the bride will only be photographed without hijab in a women-only setting, tell us early and we will plan coverage and staffing that respects those wishes.

For a typical Muslim wedding, clients in Buffalo book about 5 hours of photography ($650) and 5 hours of videography ($1,100). Photography is $250 for the first hour and $100 for each additional hour; videography is $300 for the first hour and $200 for each additional hour, with a 2-hour minimum. The first-hour price includes travel, so Buffalo costs the same as anywhere else we work, and there are no quotes to wait for.
