Are you thinking of different poses for your wedding  ? Are you worried ?

Hey there! Let’s cut to the chase.

I’m sure you’ve read at least a dozen articles and blogs on exactly how to create the perfect poses for your big day.

Well, let me assure you…your stop is here!

 

For years, newly wed couples have created and recreated the perfect images that have inspired and lasted countless years! Here are few brief and easy tips to keep in mind when posing for the best day of your life!

• Remember the first time we met?

Of course you do. This may spark up some pretty strong feelings. But no worries, just embrace it! That’s what your photographer is so desperate and passionate to capture. Shake of your nerves and remember who’s holding your hand the rest of the way.

 

• Time for some ugly laughs!

Remember they’re not just your lover but more importantly, they are your best friend. So have fun, jump around and don’t be afraid to share that adorable, quirky laugh you try so desperately to hide. Remember, these photos are for you. Make the moments count.

• Less is more.

You don’t have to exactly latch onto your significant other to prove a point. It could very easily be a soft hand gesture, a kiss on the back or even walking on opposite sides. You guys know each other best..

• Then again if you like intimacy, we LOVE intimacy. For this particular pose, don’t be afraid to lose yourself. Picture it as if you were in the classics, like Casablanca or Gone with the Wind! A shot up against a wall or leaning on a ledge always works best!

Speaking of settings…

• Let’s talk atmosphere.

Use it!! Take advantage of the natural lighting, the soft breeze, even the random benches or sculptures laying about! Don’t be afraid to make some bold choices, but remember! Be aware of your surroundings!

 

• Some basic poses

Now that we got the mindset down, the pose is key. You of course want your best angle and we want to capture it. So don’t over think! Here’s what to keep in mind.

• Hands on the hip is a must!

• Show off your dress!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Tell us your story with your eyes.

 

• Now that you got the basics down, I will leave you with one last and final thought!

Be in the moment.

 

This is the day you will remember for the rest of your life. Don’t over think it, just remember to enjoy yourself.

Congrats! And here’s to many long years!!

NYC Central Park Engagement Photo Session with Stacey & Scott

Central Park Engagement Photo Session with Stacey & Scott

The first time I met Stacey & Scott I felt an immediate connection . They are full of life and I do enjoy speaking to them. Throughout the months I've neglected myself to write something about this wonderful couple so here it goes.  We met up on the east side of the park around 70 street and started to walk around . This location sometimes can be a little difficult because of the amount of foot traffic that can disturb the photos . So I tried my best to photograph and really pay attention to the foreground. At the end of the day an engagement session is about the couple so this was my goal.  To be quite honest, Stacey worked really well in front of the camera and made Scott giggle  & laugh many times . Most times I find myself directed people because of how tense they can get. Stacey & Scott were perfect during these moments and it really showed in front of the camera. As we were taking our little stroll throughout Central Park NY 

We actually started to shoot pretty early in the day. We wanted to avoid the enormous amount of tourist and people who visit central park on a daily bases. Immediately we started to shoot right by the fountain close to the boathouse .  I suggest you visit this restaurant . It's incredible .  Here a few poses from the shoot .

Shortly After, We decided to take a little stroll by the benches. I had Scott & Stacey walk along this path so that I could  capture the essences of the moment. We also utilized one of the benches for a quick shot. It was still kind of early so there weren't many people at the park .  This was perfect so we took advantage of it .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So then as a surprise Stacey & Scott  told me that they had to change.  I didn't know this but this is one of Scott's passions , so they utilized their hunting gear and had a little board made and called it " THE HUNT IS OVER ". Pretty Cool Idea and i'm glad they brought it .  Great times and great photos. Thank you Stacey & Scott for allowing me and my studio to photograph you.

Planting Fields Arboretum Engagement session with Kery & Joe

Planting Fields Arboretum Engagement session with Kery & Joe

Let me begin by saying what an amazing experience meeting Joe & Keri at our office location. One thing I noticed was how much Joe & Keri really respected each other and how much they really enjoyed their company .

We discussed the engagement session in detail and initially we were suppose to shoot in Long beach. Unfortunately , we all know how crazy New York weather is. As a New Yorker we know that within minutes the weather can change drastically.  Well as time went on we finally set a date and Keri & Joe decided to schedule their engagement session at the Planting Fields Arboretum. If you have never been to this place I suggest you visit it. Ive been there a dozen times and it is perfect for any type of photo sessions . I've  shot short films there as well. It is a great place and has character to it. It has over 400 acres of land, filled with flowers, beautiful landscapes, old peaking willow trees,  and a beautiful castle for photographs. You can find our more about it . Just visit the site to obtain more information if you are planning a visit . The website is attached here .

So our first stop was the green house . We snapped a few shots and they came out great. We decided to do a few photographs inside the green house because it actually has an amazing middle 4 way corridor  with a small water pond . Right after the little stroll inside the green house we used the beautiful entrance to the greenhouse and went a little crazy with the photo. Keri suggested this photo and I thought the pose was pretty unique.

Right after the green house we found a cool little patch of light in the middle of the woods . So I suggested we would jump into it and do a quick photo . It was interesting to see this patch of light at this time . Anyone who knows me well, I love playing with light .

So as we moved closer to the castle we got a little side tracked with the pool area . Although it said no shimming or leaning on the edge we got pretty close to it.  The colors that this garden had was incredible . I kept communicating with  Keri & Joe and I did notice that the more photos we took and the more time we spend together  the more they adapted to each other. ALL NATURAL . At this location we also decided to use the sign that Keri & Joe brought. The sign was a nice touch to the engagement photo session. We actually utilized the sign for their save the date cards as well. See it below to get an idea. I really do encourage my couples always to come up with something that is them . You can always look onto our pinterest board to get inspirations .

Personally I decided to post both of them because I loved both photographs equally. Shortly after , we went over to the castle  We decided to take a nice shot over the little garden area. The sky was just breathless and we tried to so a few more other poses by the brick landscapes. It really was a wonderful area and I will definitely recommend this preserve to any couple who is looking for a nice spot to do portraits or even to have a little romantic getaway .

Looking forward to your wedding and thank you for having us .

Finding the Right NYC Wedding Photographer

Finding the Right NYC Wedding Photographer

Weddings are a celebration of bringing two people together as well as their families and friends. Great memories are made during these occasions and encapsulating these memories is the work for a wedding photographer.

First you’ll need to choose the type of pictures you want. Just like other items included in a wedding, picking styles of picture falls on the couple. Candid, portraiture, fine art, and edgy are some of the different types to choose from. Candid styles are spontaneous, these types of pictures capture the precious times between a husband and wife, and their friends and families.

Portraiture is more classical with posed shots in chosen backdrops. Fine art and edgy pictures gives the photographer a more creative license when it comes to capturing each moment, using different types of cameras, and diverse or unconventional angles.

It’s important to research what suits you best then look for the right person to do it.

It is much easier these days to find the person to do the job for you, just browse through local listings, look into potential candidates through their websites, blogs, facebook and twitter pages as well as other social networking sites.

Check out their availability for the wedding date and set up an interview either through phone, video chat or in person. Personality should also be taken into consideration as you will work together on that special day.

Find a Long Island wedding photographer personable enough to coax you and your families’ cooperation into taking posed pictures or candid ones.

Discuss the allotted budget and strike the deal. Remember, the person you choose is entrusted with the remembrance of that day, choose the one with the right skill and talent to execute it.

Why is wedding photographer so expensive?

Why is wedding photographer so expensive?

Becoming an NYC wedding photographer is not an easy feat but it is all worth it in the end! This is because there are major expenses associated with it and many people usually wonder as to why wedding photography gets to be expensive. Here’s why;


Labor costs
Labor costs are involved after the Long Island wedding photographer is done with your event and this is in regards to the hours spent editing the images, not forgetting the hours they spent at your nuptials. Editing requires a full 3-4 days for the purposes of getting a wide array of perfect photographs by which to remember your day.


Equipment
The type of equipment that the wedding photographer uses are actually not your typical ones and this is because the high-end lenses and bodies basically average about 1500 pounds each! Since the photographer has to always be prepared, backup equipment has to always be carried in case the primary equipment fails, which goes on to add to the cost.



Repairs
Sometimes the equipment malfunctions and when this happens, they are not just taken to any repair shop for repairing and this is because of their sensitivity.



Insurance
Because of the cost that goes into buying the high-tech equipment, insurance has to be factored in just in case someone from the wedding decides to spill champagne over the equipment for the fun of it.






Yearly costs
A professional wedding photographer knows that some particular gear needs updating every year so as to produce perfect images. Cleaning costs and professional subscriptions go on to add to the costs and this is not forgetting the monthly ones.
