Yajaira's Wedding

Wedding photography is not a random burst of pictures, it's a methodic approach that allow us to take advantage of the environment where we are and as a result we are able to show or hide things as we feel it’s necessary. In this case we couldn’t ignore the beautiful chandelier, but photographing there required two main things: keep in mind the direction of light and pose the bride accordingly. The posing was not random either, it had to emphasize a few things: the beautiful dress, the shape of her body, the softness of her hands, the beautiful makeup, etc. We also shot at a very specific angle to avoid two things: distortions associated to the lens that we had to used due to the tight space, and showing the restaurant in the first floor…. So yeah, not everyone with a camera is a photographer and not all photographers are wedding photographers.

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.
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.

A picture from the beautiful bride who said yes to the dress at Estelle's Dressy Dresses  and got married yesterday. The space and time that we had to photograph her was limited as we had to run to the ceremony but we still got some beautiful shots for her.

Shaphan & Mileydy

Un gusto saludarle de nuevo amigos. I'm happy to share a picture from Shaphan and Mileydy  that I took during their  wedding ceremony last Friday in Brooklyn, NY....Things have changed in the wedding industry. Nowadays the majority of our clients communicate with us via email and text. A personal consultation or even a phone call seems like a thing of the past. The time of our clients is very valuable and the information that they usually get when meeting us in person is now available in testimonials from previous clients. Testimonials are so powerful, therefore our job today is to provide great quality of pictures and the best experience to our clients. Quality and experience go hand in hand. Shaphan and Mileydy are christians and their ceremony was very meaningful to them, therefore I tried to be as discreet as possible. At one point I even left the ceremony room. In fact, the picture that you see here was shot from outside their ceremony room. I shot through the opening...

I had the great pleasure of documenting this beautiful wedding. This was a very unique experience and I had so much fun. The groom spoke some Spanish as he had been in Ecuador for a few months doing an internship there.
