Why Engagement Photo Sessions Are So Important

Posted on March 4, 2010

As some of you know, we are strong advocates of having an Engagement Session done prior to your wedding, for several reasons. It’s such a vital part of the wedding photography process that we make it point to stress the importance of the Engagment Session to every couple we meet. Earlier this week, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Claudia Copquin of GettingMarriedonLongIsland.com on this particular topic.

You can read the complete interview HERE.

If you’re getting married on Long Island (or anywhere else for that matter) make sure you take some time to browse the GettingMarriedonLongIsland.com website for some great info and excellent tips on planning your wedding.

Valentine’s Day Photo Contest Winners – Miguelina & Greg

Posted on February 14, 2010

This weekend we had a chance to play the role of Cupid by shooting a couple in love for Valentine’s Day. Miguelina and Greg were the winners of our first Valentine’s Day Photo Contest.

Although we claim to play the role of Cupid, I get the feeling we were a little late for this one. To be honest, we were very late. It turns out that Cupid’s arrow struck the hearts of this couple a long, long time ago. Having grown up literally across the street from each other in their Washington Heights, NYC neighborhood, Miguelina and Greg have been in love for as long as they can remember. Their relationship has stood the test of time, distance, a few breakups, and some very protective parents. Not only is their story a heartwarming tale, their recent engagement and wedding later this year is a testament to the fact that love truly does conquer all…

Our photo journey included a return to their old neighborhood, a fire escape, a walk on the wild side (scroll down to see this), a subway ride, and a really expensive MetroCard. Thanks for the guided tour of the neighborhood, guys. The pleasure was all ours.

Happy Valentine’s Day to Miguelina & Greg and to all the couples out there.

Valentine’s Day Photo Contest – Long Island Wedding Photographer

Posted on January 17, 2010

We are very happy to announce our very first Valentine’s Day Photo Contest.

We want to show our appreciation for both our clients and our growing fan base, so we’ve decided to give away a complimentary photo session to one lucky couple. Since we’re in the business of capturing people in love, we couldn’t think of a better occasion to do this than Valentine’s Day. 

So, what’s the catch? (you know there’s always a catch!)

Really, it’s simple.

All you have to do is send us an e-mail telling us a little about you, about your relationship, and why you think you should be the chosen couple. We’d like to hear how you met, where you met, how long you’ve been together, and your idea for a photo shoot. Whichever couple comes up with what we think is the most interesting story and/or the coolest idea for a photo shoot will be chosen for the Valentine’s Day weekend photo session.

This contest is open to couples of ALL types, married or not, engaged or not. If you’re a couple in love with an interesting story or photo shoot idea, you have a chance at winning. It also helps to be a fan of our Facebook page.

Contest Rules:

1. You must be a couple (Duh!)

2. Only entries submitted by e-mail will be accepted.

3. Entries must be received by 11:59pm EST on January 31st.

 
The lucky couple will be announced February 1st and the photo shoot will take place sometime during the Valentine’s Day weekend.
 
Now let’s get those e-mails in so we can pick a winner! Also, make sure you become a fan of our Facebook page to increase your chances of winning.

 
Good luck!
