New York Prom Photographer: Prom Photos in NYC

Having Prom photos taken in NYC can be really cool.  Especially when your prom is being hosted at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.  Stephanie wanted some pre-prom photos taken back home in Long Island, NY before driving into the city to meet her boyfriend at the Waldorf where her school, Bronx Science was hosting their High School Senior Prom.   As the students were making their way in, I took some quick portraits outside of the couple before heading in to take more creative photos inside the lobby of the Waldorf.  The prom was about to begin and we literally had only a few minutes left to take the photos.  The couple as well as everyone else just wanted to go and party!  Stephanie was quite happy with these photos.  They certainly were not the average typical prom school photos that are usually taken on a plain backdrop by a contracted school photographer.  They are definitely unique and provide way more variety.  You can read more about what Pre-Prom photos are in my previous blog post.  You will also be able to preview some of the images that I took of Stephanie, her friend and her family before heading into the city.  You can contact me here to book your  prom photos or to learn more about creating a customized and unique prom photo package.

  • What are Pre-Prom Photos?

Pre-Prom Photos are photos that can be taken either prior to your actual prom date, or, they can be taken just after everyone is dressed and about to leave for the Prom.  Typically they are taken the day of Prom Night before heading off for the big party.  

  • Why take Pre-Prom Photos?

Although there are almost always photo packages available by the school’s photographer at the Prom event, the photos are usually  taken on regular plain backdrops.  Typically the same traditional poses are taken at the same crop for everyone and there is not much of a diversity in crops, angles, backgrounds and lighting as there is if you hire a professional Prom Photographer.  A professional photographer  can be hired to come before leaving for the event to take some creative photos utilizing different environmental backdrops in addition to taking pictures at unique angles and crops.  

  • What are some advantages of taking Pre-Prom Photos?

There are many advantages of taking Pre-Prom photos some include having more photos taken of yourself, your date, your friends and sometimes even your family and your pet.  You can also take them at your home, or another location in route to your prom.  You can also take group photos with your friends.

  • How long does a Pre-Prom photoshoot last?

Typically it takes about 45 minutes to an hour but it also depends if you are adding additional couples or if you want your own private individualized session.  If you want to add an additional  location that can play a factor.  As you see you can make your Pre-Prom photoshoot customized to your needs.

  • How much does a Pre-Prom photoshoot cost?

It depends.  As mentioned before Pre-prom photoshoots can be customized to include individuals and/or additional couples and groups.   In most cases Pre-Prom shoots are done in groups as parties.  Since most kids split the limo and go to prom in giant groups,  a Pre-Prom shoot can actually be a great deal when you split the cost between the other couples and do a group package.   You can wind up with professional photos of each individual child, couple and sometimes even the Parents can be included in the photos if they are around.  Most parents want at least one really nice photo of their teenager. It’s such a great idea to have a professional photographer come to capture professional photos when they are dressed up for this special night.

Here are a few photos from a Pre-Prom photo session.  The Prom was held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, NY.  I met Stephanie at her house in Queens, NY and took a few photos of her and her friend before leaving for the city where i took additional photos of her and her boyfriend.  I will post those photos in the next blog post.  As you can see, I took photos of both girls individually and together.  I also took photos of each girl and her family.  As I mentioned before it is always great if you can include the family in the photos with the teen.  Prom night is a special night.  You will definitely want a nice photo taken with your mom/dad/family to remember this.
