Flushing Meadows Park NY Prom Photos

Flushing Meadows Park NY is a great location for taking your prom photos. Not only does it offer stunning architectural structures such as the famous Unisphere, it also features beautiful gardens, fountains, and lakes that make for beautiful backgrounds for your prom photos.

Below are just some of the beautiful photos taken of this beautiful young lady’s prom photo session. I absolutely loved her emerald green gown. It went so well with all the lush greens and gardens in the park. It also really popped in the photo with the Unisphere.

You can book your NY Prom Photo session for either yourself, yourself and your date, or for you and a group of friends. I offer several custom packages. Just fill out the contact form below, making sure you fill out the date of your event and I will get back to you.

If you are considering having prom photos taken, I highly recommend that you don’t wait too long to book. May and June are typically very busy months for photographers. There are many events happening and everyone wants to have their portraits and photo sessions done outside since the weather is nicer.

Long Island Pre-Sweet 16 Photos

I am always excited to do a Long Island Pre-Sweet Photos session. Turning sixteen is such a special time in a young lady’s life that it deserves to be honored with not just a beautiful dress and Sweet 16 party, but with beautiful photos that she will have to cherish and remember this special occasion. And having a pre-sweet 16 photo session prior to the party has so many advantages.

Stephanie is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. So full of smiles, laughter and joy. I loved meeting her and her mom. We all got to know each other quite well while I was taking her photos and we talked all about the party. I learned that it was going to be a Disney theme. When I heard this, I felt like a kid again. You see, not only is Stephanie a huge Disney fan, but so am I. She wore a gorgeous pink gown and tiara. Just like a Disney princess. We started her pre-shoot by taking some photos in a pretty white and blue summer dress and then quickly moved on to the pink gown. We took some indoors and then went to one of my favorite parks and finished the shoot over there. Here is where Stephanie got to dance and twirl in her big gown. I was excited about the party, as was she and was happy to be the one that was going to capture the photos for what I knew was going to be an awesome party.

I really love doing these pre-Sweet 16 sessions, because they are such a beautiful season of life for these young girls. If your daughter is having her Sweet 16, I would love to document this time in her life with a session like this one. Contact me today if you are interested in having this special session, or if you are looking for a Sweet 16 photographer to capture the party.

Brooklyn Wedding Photographer/Brooklyn Winery Wedding Photos

I was so excited as the Brooklyn Wedding Photographer at Rachel & Scott’s Brooklyn Winery Wedding in Williamsburg, NY. After photographing Rachel & Scott’s engagement photos, I knew that their wedding was going to be a blast. These two are so joyful and are always laughing. Their goofiness and love for each other just made photographing them and their loved ones such a pleasure. It ended up pouring buckets of rain on their wedding day but we all know that a little rain on your wedding day brings good luck. Fortunately they chose to have their getting ready photos at the Garden Vale Residence at the William Vale Hotel — a suite with a covered terrace the size of most apartments in NY. Despite all the torrential downpours and wind that day, the terrace stayed dry enough for us so that we could stage their first look and have their family and bridal party photos taken.

After that we headed over to the Brooklyn Winery for their wedding ceremony and their reception party. There were plenty of tears and laughter and it was certainly a very emotional day for all. We captured some great moments from their day, moments that they will look back upon for many years and remember them as if it were yesterday. Congratulations again Rachel & Scott! It was such a pleasure capturing this special day for you and your families. May every married day be as lovely as the first.

This couple had an amazing wedding day at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Long Island, NY. It was a special day for them filled with lots of love and emotion as they united as one in front of all their beloved family and friends. I had the honor to be a part of their special day as I captured these beautiful memories that they will cherish forever.

I absolutely loved that they did a first look or what is also known as “The Reveal”. A first look or reveal is often done before the ceremony in order for the Bride and Groom to get all the formal pictures done before the Reception. Quite often there is simply not enough time to take all the formals right after the ceremony as the cocktail hour and reception immediately follows.

Can’t you just feel all their love and emotion. I absolutely loved the groom’s reaction.

And then the wedding ceremony began.

The toasts on a wedding day certainly have the potential to be some of the most memorable moments of the day. There are the emotions of laughter and joy as the brides daughter recounts a tale of a typical day in the household.

Then a very heartfelt and emotional groom thanks his family and friends for being a part of his special day followed by a toast to his bride for blessing him with her love.

If you would like to talk about your wedding day feel free to contact me . I would love to hear from you! Also feel free to view my website for a complete wedding and engagement portfolio.

Coney Island Photography

It’s been a super long time since I was at Coney Island so I was excited for this Coney Island Photo Session. Truthfully I did not know what to expect as I did not remember much about Coney Island since I was last there and it has recently changed a bit in the last few years. I was however, looking forward to include some of the cool colored art walls that I heard about and I hoped to get some photos by the boardwalk and the beach. Unfortunately, we did not get to do any photos at the beach since it was super windy and the sand was just blowing everywhere. It felt like a sandstorm. I am not sure if this is the norm for Coney Island or if it was just bad timing for us. After being attacked by all the sand, we got off the boardwalk and walked towards an alley way and found the cool colored Coney Art Walls. I started to shoot there and got some awesome shots of both Natalie and Teresa. I started with Teresa first on the Riot wall which was super chic and cool and matched her retro vintage look. Natalie brought along a really cool pair of heart beige glasses and had a great shade of red lipstick on so I thought that the gold wall would compliment her look best and it certainly did.

Afterwards we walked down the alley and found a cool ATM machine and game area and took some photos of Teresa and some portraits of Natalie with the beautiful sunlight just setting behind her.

We then proceeded to walk towards the Ferris Wheel and the girls stopped to get some Cotton Candy. We of course got a few photos with that as well.

Since the sun had already set and the wind died down we decided to walk back to the walls to get a few really neat night shots. Look how cool those lights are sparkling in the background.

To view the whole session, be sure to check out the video.

If you have never been to Coney Island, or if it’s just been way too long since you have gone, than I certainly do recommend that you check it out. There is so much to do there. Rides, games, the beach and of course no trip to Coney Island could be complete without a stop at the World Famous Nathans!
