Long Island Sweet 16 Photography – New Hyde Park Inn Sweet 16

Stephanie’s Sweet 16 party was at the New Hyde Park Inn in Long Island, NY. I first met Stephanie and her mom when I captured her Sweet 16 Pre-Shoot. I knew then that it was going to be a very special party. She wore a beautiful pink princess dress and she decorated the room to go along with her Disney theme. Each table was named after a Disney Princess, the cake was shaped like a castle and disney tunes filled the room during cocktail hour and dinner time.

You can absolutely tell how wonderful Stephanie is just by looking at her photos. She is beautiful inside and out, always beaming with a smile, gracious, sweet and endlessly devoted to her family and her loved ones. From a special grand entrance, to an emotional toast by her dad that had her in tears, to heartfelt candle speeches, non-stop dancing, to a huge farewell hug at the end by all her friends, it was truly a magical night to remember. I am so thankful to have met Stephanie and her family and to have captured this special day for her. Stephanie, I hope your day was as amazing as you always dreamed of. Happy birthday! Thank you all for being such a blast to spend the night with.

Long Island, NY Sweet 16 Photography/Allie’s Sweet 16

Last month I was asked to photograph Allie’s Sweet 16 at the Coral House in Baldwin, Long Island, NY. We all know how crazy the month of March can be. My birthday is in March as well and I can tell you that I have seen it snow on my birthday and I have seen it as warm as 80 degrees. Sure enough we had a snow storm one week prior to the event, but fortunately on the day of Allie’s big event the weather turned out to be somewhat pleasant allowing for us to get some beautiful photos outdoors on Milburn Lake of Allie and her family. It was somewhat chilly that day, but Allie did not seem to mind going outside to get some pictures taken since she was used to being at ice rinks most of her life watching her big brother Nick play ice hockey. I tried to move as quickly as possible capturing as many shots as I could and then we all moved inside the Coral House to take a few more pictures of Allie as her court arrived.

And then the party began.

Happy Sweet 16 Birthday Allie! I had a wonderful time shooting your birthday party and it was lovely to meet you and your family.
