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.

I love taking  Sweet 16 photography as well as photos of Weddings, Mitzvahs and other parties at the Westbury Manor.  Not only do they have a great outdoor setting to host your cocktail hour (weather permitting of course), but they have some of the most beautiful lush green gardens, flowers, bridges and paths which serves as a beautiful backdrop for photographing the formals of your special event.  You definitely don’t want to skip out on getting professional photos taken of your Sweet 16 here.

I was thrilled to  take these photos of Sydney’s Sweet 16.  She wore the most prettiest pink dress and looked absolutely stunning.  Her court was all dressed in white and they all wore matching pink shoes.  I began by taking some photos of Sydney by herself and then of her with her court and her family.

Then it was time to party.  Sydney opted out of having the traditional candle lighting but she still had her special dance with her dad and  everyone sang happy birthday to her and then had a cake.

After that, we proceeded to take some night photos of her outside before it was time for me to go.  So glad that we did them.  I love capturing night shots.

Sweet 16’s are always a lot of fun.  It’s a reason for a girl to get all dressed up, her hair and make-up done and invite all of her friends and family to celebrate her very special day.  She gets to feel like a princess and dance the night away.  And then there is the candle ceremony where she calls upon one person or group at a time to help light one candle.  She will do this sixteen times, sometimes seventeen times for good luck.  That is probably usually the slowest part of the evening.  After that dancing resumes…..

Here are some photos from Brienna’s Sweet 16 held at Vetro’s, sister restaurant to Russo’s on the Bay.
