Special Notes
At Buffalo Alternative Bridal, our bridal consultant, Mikayla offers an exclusive and attentive service designed to help brides bring their unique vision to life with precision and care. Specializing in the formation of finite details, she works intimately with each bride to ensure every element is thoughtfully curated and executed.
Full-Service Bridal Consulting Package (all inclusive): $700–$1,000
A bundled offering for brides who want comprehensive help covering all the above services.
Wedding Boudoir Photography Sessions ($300 add on)
Our boudoir shoots are fully customizable and designed to make you feel confident, glamorous, and completely at ease. Included in our higher-tier bridal packages, this add-on features:
We are a travel-based company, bringing our full setup — chair, ring light, and professional HMUA equipment — directly to your location. Sessions can be held anywhere in your space, at hotel accommodations, or on our styled sets (available upon request at the time of booking).
This is a perfect gift to surprise your new spouse with on the morning of your wedding.
For boudoir sessions booked separately from our bridal contracts (meaning Buffalo Alternative Bridal is not providing wedding-day services), please contact us directly for separate pricing, as rates will differ from our in-package offer.
Cherish the Wedding Day Set ($500 add on)
This service is perfect for couples looking to enjoy an intimate and artistic photo experience outside of traditional wedding photography. Offered as a sultry and creative shoot on the wedding day, it can be scheduled during the interim between the ceremony and reception, or at any time that fits your timeline. The session provides a personal and romantic way to capture timeless images celebrating your partnership.
Your package includes Mikayla’s signature glam editing on 20 final photos, with the option to receive the full SD card from the session upon request.
For availability, customizations, and pricing, please inquire.
Engagement Photoshoot — $600 (stand alone)
Celebrate your love story with a beautifully styled and professionally captured engagement session. This package includes bridal hair and makeup application, 2 hours of shooting at two locations of your choice, 15 fully edited images, and the full SD card with all photos from the session. Perfect for save‑the‑date announcements, wedding websites, or simply preserving this special chapter in timeless images.
Q: Can you handle bridal parties larger than 5? How does that work?
A: Yes! We have a network of talented licensed cosmetologists and aestheticians who share our vision of making you and your bridal party look and feel your absolute best. If we are unable to accommodate a service within our core team, we will discuss and coordinate with our trusted partners before fully committing to your event. Their individual rates are handled directly with them and will not affect your package price. Gratuity is always appreciated separately and per technician.
Q: If someone drops out after being included in the deposit or contract, can I get my money back?
A: All deposits and bridal contracts are structured so that our technicians are fully compensated for their time and materials—meaning package pricing will not be reduced if someone drops out. You are welcome to fill that spot with another person of your choice. If you wish to add services after the contract is signed (including on the wedding day), it will depend solely on technician availability and time within the wedding schedule, and requests may be declined if necessary.
Q: What is the turnaround time for photos?
A: Please allow up to two weeks for photo delivery. In the unlikely event you request revisions, re‑editing must be submitted within 48 hours of receiving your gallery.
Please start by selecting a package, and we can build from there!
Each Alternative Bride is unique to us, and every client receives a custom file to keep all selected services organized for a smooth, stress-free experience.

We work as a specialized complement to your wedding photographer and videographer — not a replacement. Our passion lies in creating elevated, editorial‑style images that go beyond standard coverage. We focus on glamorous, curated moments rather than cake cuttings, dance‑floor shots, or traditional behind‑the‑scenes captures. Think of us as your luxury layer of photography — a resource dedicated to creating striking, timeless portraits and intimate, stylized moments that enhance the beautiful basics provided by your main photo and video team. If you have specific requests please inquire.
