Tino Photography & Video

I am looking forward in photographing the wedding of this wonderful Colombian couple this coming weekend. Kevin and Laura's wedding will be at the beautiful Mediterranean Manor in Patchogue NY. This is the first time that my crew and I are going to be in this venue and we are very excited about photographing in there as there are so many beautiful spots where we can get some great shots.

I had a lot of fun working with this wonderful couple during thier engagement shoot in Long Island City last Friday. I also met Melanie one of the couple's friend and she was very helpfula and made the shoot go even smoother. Can't wait for their wedding day! It's going to be a lot of fun.

First is the proposal, then is the planning, and finally the big day arrives and it's time to have fun at your wedding.

One of the most fun and playful couple of the year. Spending time with them you learn to laugh, to dance, to enjoy life. Planning a wedding doesn't have to be stressful, it can be fun, it's all about attitude....Can't wait for their wedding day that will take place at the beautiful Terrace On The Park in Flushing, NY.

I did an engagement shoot in Long Island City yesterday and I had a few things in mind. First, I wanted to get something a little different from what most people would get. Second, this is such a lovely couple and I wanted to portrait them as tall and elegant as the city itself. Third, I want to frame them within the frame and for that I use the trees that I found nearby. Fourth, I wanted the sun's rays bursting above them, the light that will guide them through marriage. The couple already saw the picture and they loved it. In fact, they chose this picture to be displayed at the entrance of the ballroom during their wedding day.

Did I tell you that I actually shot an engagement in the middle of a rainy morning?....and here is the thing, the couple not only allowed me to take pictures, they also had fun. Lots of fun....You see, photography is about attitude. Photographers rarely find a perfect moment, perfect lighting or perfect conditions... We have to work with what we got but we must always try to do the very best that we can.

I met Juliana and John at my place a while back. Since our first meeting we have always communicated either by email or text and by the time their engagement shoot date arrived I felt that I haven't spent enough time with them and therefore we are not very familiar with each other. But my feelings were miss-placed. We instantly bonded the moment that we so each other for the second time and we felt that we have known each other for years. They are very good at following instructions and being themselves in front of the camera and that made my job a lot easier and fun....can't wait for their wedding day!

What do you think about her beautiful smile? It lightens up her whole face and people around her respond in kind....a genuine smile goes a long way.

I am very happy to share a picture that I took last week at the Robert Moses lighthouse and beach. This wonderful couple are getting married in less than one hundred days and I am looking forward in documenting such an special day for them, their families and friends.
