Wedding Photos at the Ellicott Square Building


Before the ceremony at Pearl Street Grill in Buffalo NY, we headed to the historic Ellicott Square Building for portraits, and it did not disappoint. Known for its breathtaking glass skylight and intricate ironwork, this Buffalo landmark added timeless elegance to the day. The contrast between the snowy streets outside and the warm, glowing interior made for incredibly dynamic images.


Shooting on both film and digital allowed us to capture the grandeur of the space in different ways-film brought softness and nostalgia, while digital preserved the crisp architectural details. The result was a collection of images that felt classic, cinematic, and deeply rooted in Buffalo’s character.
