LONG ISLAND ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS/FRANK MELVILLE PARK

I had the opportunity to photograph Jackie & Nick’s engagement photos in beautiful Frank Melville Park in Long Island, NY. Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. I love the cooler weather, the crisp air and the changing colors of the leaves. It’s such a great time to take family photos and engagement photos. The colored leaves whether they still are on the trees or if they have fallen to the ground makes for a beautiful backdrop.

Jackie & Nick both met in High School and after 9 years got engaged. I could not be happier for a more sweeter couple than these two. Congratulations again Jackie & Nick!

Long Island Engagement Photographer: Engagement Session in Head of Harbor

Long Island Engagement Photographer: Engagement Session in Head of Harbor

I was really happy when Danielle contacted me to be her Long Island Engagement Photographer for her engagement photo session. After hearing all about how her fiancee Justin was going to bring an old green Chevy pick-up truck for their engagement shoot on a private property in Head of Harbor, NY I was super excited to get some unique and creative photos. Both Danielle and Justin kept with the theme of the shoot and stylized themselves by wearing jeans and plaid shirts. They later changed to another dressier outfit. There were so many great photos from this shoot that it was so hard to pick a couple of favorites, hence a blog post was in order. I absolutely loved the green truck and we got a bunch of fun shots with it.

I am absolutely in love with their expressions here. Don’t you just love how cute they are?

A little champagne toast in the back of the truck.

We then did a quick change of outfit for some dressier and formal engagement photos.

Oh the warmth of that setting sun.

The house was set on a cliff on the water on a private beach. Unfortunately it was just way too windy and cold to head down to the beach but I was not going to pass up on a beautiful sunset. Fortunately they were both game for a few quick photos.

We then ran inside the house and concluded with a photo in the wine cellar.

Crest Hollow Wedding Photographer

Crest Hollow Wedding Photographer

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.

I was truly honored to have the opportunity to capture these memories for them. I wish them all the happiness as they embark on their new life together as husband and wife.

Long Island Engagement Photographer/ Long Island Couples Photo Shoot

Posted on February 13, 2015September 15, 2015 by Irene Bello

Long Island Engagement Photographer/Long Island Couples

Can you believe that Valentines Day is already here? It makes me think just where is the year going? Valentines Day usually brings a massive amount of engagements and newly engaged couples which means that they will undoubtedly be seeking an engagement photo shoot sometime afterwards. And with spring and summer right around the corner, what better time to get some creative outdoor shots. But couples need not be engaged couples in order to have a photo shoot. Creative engagement photos have been increasingly popular in the last decade, however it is not necessary to be engaged anymore in order to have photos taken of you and your significant. More and more couples want and seek creative photos of themselves that capture their relationship and their love for each other. It is also becoming increasingly common to have a couples photo shoot that celebrates an anniversary.

To highlight the special day I want to share some very special photos of a very special couple that I took a couple of months ago that are not engaged…..yet. On the day of their photo shoot it was extremely cold and windy. It was the day after a really bad storm and the wind was simply relentless. Nonetheless, they were brave enough to endure the weather and I was able to get some gorgeous images of them. Hard to tell from the photos just how windy it was, but believe me it was.

Here are some of my photos from the session. To view more from their session you may follow this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs9dEhyQYsA

May you all have a very Happy Valentines Day!
