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.

It's cold but one must never stop practicing.

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...

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.
