The James Hotel, New York City

As some of you know, Tino Photography & Video is a team of professional photographers and videographers based in Queens, NY. This passed weekend our studio had three weddings: Tappan Hill in Terrytown, Westbury Manor in Woodbury and The Indian House is New York City. The picture that you see here belongs to Jorge and Isabel and was taken by my crew at the top of the James Hotel. Jorge saw for the first his fiancé in her beautiful wedding dress in the rooftop of the hotel which had such beautiful views of the city.

Practice

It's cold but one must never stop practicing.

Wedding photography is not as easy as some seem to believe. No matter how organized a wedding is, things always don't go as planned. The makeup artist falls behind the schedule, the bride and her bridesmaids had no time to eat, the bride has not been able to sleep the night before thinking about her big day, the location can be small, dark and full of bag, shoes, cloths and other items, the light can be challenging, the weather can prevent us from executing our plans, etc, etc. In the end though our job as wedding photographers is to hide all the things that happen during a wedding and portrait the bride, the groom, their friends families as if all wen't as planned and even better. This is one of the things that separate us from the ones who own a camera and are able to snap pictures.

Wedding Photography

This picture was taken inside Saint Paul's Church at the Columbia University Campus in New York City. The bride brought a trifold with the interior of the church and as soon as I saw the doors I knew that I hd to take advantage of this place to photograph the couple as they walk out after the ceremony. This picture took me about five minutes to get done. I had to ask people to stand in one side of the doors and I had to move some church items that were right next to the door. I think my efforts were worth it. Camila and Nelson ended up buying a huge print for their living room.

Tamika & Maurice Engagement Pictures

Last week I had the great pleasure to do the engagement pictures of an awesome couple whose wedding I will be photographing this coming September. I met this couple as I was photographing the wedding of one their friends. Tamika was a bridesmaid then, now she is the bride herself. Tamika & Maurice Engagement Pictures

Among all the beautiful wedding dresses that I got a chance to photograph last year, this is one of my favorites. Wedding dresses are so unique and beautiful and they are one of the first things that I like to see in the bride's phone when they come to inquire about my wedding photography and video services.

Usando el carro como reflector

Lo mas importante como fotografo es conseguir la mejor luz posible dentro del ambiente que se encuentra al momento. A veces cosas que a primera vista parecen ordinarias pueden servir de mucho en mejora la calidad de la luz. Este es el caso en esta foto. Aquí usted puede ver como yo use el carro como reflector para llenar las partes sombrías en la cara. El carro también me sirvió como un objeto para posar a Connie e inclusive me sirvió para esconder cosas que no quería mostrar en la foto, como los pies y los zapatos por ejemplo. Siempre hay mas de una manera de resolver los problemas fotográficos, solo necesitamos mantener una mentalidad abierta.

Daniella

Una foto de Daniella que tomamos la semana pasada en anticipacion de su fiesta de quinceanera este fin de semana. Daniella es una chica muy inteligente e independiente. Ella se fue por su propia cuanta a Long Island donde la sesion de fotos tuvo lugar a pesar que tuvo que tomar dos buses y caminar un poco para llegar al parque. Su intencion era ayudar a los papas para que no tomen el dia libre por motivo de su sesion de fotos.
