NYC Silhouette

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.

Practice

It's cold but one must never stop practicing.

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

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.

Melanie

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.

Keillyn

...y ya llega la fiesta de sweet sixteen de Keillyn, muy contento de esta oportunidad, de poder documentar algo tan importante para esta familia ecuatoriana. A proposito, ellos tambien han sido de mi propia tierra.

Engagement, Nigérian Couple

I am very excited to share with you some pictures from Ifeoma and Ricky's engagement shoot. I met this wonderful couple during the wedding of Amanda and Fabian that I photographed last year. Amanda shared her engagement pictures in social media and her friend Ifeoma saw them, and this is how I ended up meeting Ifeoma. We clicked right away and now I can't wait to document her beautiful wedding that will take place in a few days. Her wedding is going to be at the beautiful Leonard's Palazzo in Great Neck, NY and I can't wait to be back there and document such an important day for this young and beautiful couple.

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.

The Marriott Hotel, Flushing New York

I had the great pleasure to photograph an small but beautiful and intimate wedding. This wedding took place in Flushing, NY. Sharawn, the bride, and Felicia, the mother, are two of the most calmed and patient people I have ever met....The groom's family were also very special. The bride's mom had to travel early the next day back to California and the groom's family had to fly back to Toronto, Canada, but despite their tight schedules they enjoyed the wedding to the fullest and it was so touching to see two families from two different backgrounds, cities and religions unite by love and respect to one another.
