Buffalo & Niagara Falls Wedding Photographer


Capturing Moments Since 2017

Timeless, true-to-color wedding photography that captures genuine moments throughout Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Western New York



Looking for a wedding photographer who captures genuine moments as they naturally unfold? At Jess Trankle Images, I photograph weddings throughout Buffalo, Niagara Falls, and Western New York with a timeless, true-to-color style that tells your story exactly as it felt. Whether you're planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, my goal is to create photographs you'll treasure for generations.

Photography That Feels Like YOU



Some of life's most meaningful moments happen in the blink of an eye.

The deep breath before you walk down the aisle.

The way your partner looks at you during your first dance.

Tiny fingers wrapped around yours.

The laughter that fills the room when your family is simply being themselves.

                                     Those are the moments worth remembering.

Capturing Life in True Color


I'm Jess, the photographer behind Jess Trankle Images. Based in Niagara Falls, New York, I photograph weddings throughout Buffalo, Rochester, Canandaigua, and Western New York while also welcoming families into my studio at The Wurlitzer Building in North Tonawanda.


My photography is rooted in true-to-color editing, genuine connection, and creating an experience that feels relaxed from beginning to end. I'll guide you when you need direction, encourage natural interaction instead of stiff poses, and quietly document the moments that make your story unique.


Wedding Photography That Tells Your Story


Your wedding isn't about perfect poses,

it's about celebrating with the people you love most.


From the excitement of getting ready to your ceremony, portraits, heartfelt speeches, and a packed dance floor,

I'm there to document every chapter of your day with timeless images you'll love just as much decades from now.


Whether you're planning a wedding in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Rochester, Canandaigua, or anywhere across Western New York, my goal is always the same: to create photographs that bring you back to exactly how your wedding day felt.


More Than Weddings


In addition to weddings, I photograph newborns, seniors, families, branding sessions, and portraits from my studio at The Wurlitzer Building in North Tonawanda.


The studio offers a comfortable, welcoming space designed for relaxed sessions with beautiful natural light and timeless imagery. Whether you're celebrating a growing family, graduating, building your business, or simply preserving this season of life, every session is approached with the same care and attention to detail.

Stella shows her favorite dance pose in her costume at the Workspace at The Wurlitzer Portrait Studio.

Jess was absolutely amazing! I took her to get my daughter’s dance recital pictures done, and as soon as we stepped in she made us feel right at home. She worked great with my daughter and made her feel like a star. I would absolutely recommend and I will be going back for future sessions!
