Last year around this time I blogged about how exciting this time of year was since the weather is clearing up and that means more weddings..more engagement sessions. I have to say it again this year especially after spending the past four months finishing up our new studio; dealing with paperwork, contractors and trying to color match paint at Home Depot (are there really that many shades of blue?) After all of that is said and done I look forward to getting back to focusing on what I love….Photography. We have some great wedding...
read moreI always say that one of the coolest things that happens in the Wedding Photography business is referrals. If someone likes what you do enough to brag to their friends and family then it’s a great compliment. The other thing that’s pretty cool is when I shoot a wedding and a member of the bridal party contacts me for their own wedding. That means that they have seen me in action on a wedding day and got to know me a little and they still want to work with me…go figure. Seriously, I’m honored when someone wants me to...
read moreOne of the benefits of being a Wedding Photographer is that I get to meet so many interesting couples. If I sat at this desk and just answered emails and edited photos I think I would go mad….or is it too late? Well, anyway… I love meeting people, especially interesting people. Especially people that don’t follow the so-called “norm” and are bold enough to do things differently. It was great to meet a couple like Jessica and Mike that are interesting people with their own unique style…. and they really...
read moreOne morning back in October I met with Wedding Planner, Nicole Meyers at a diner in Albany to talk about her idea of doing a “Bridal Survivor” contest to give away a free wedding to a lucky couple. I had to push my eggs and hash browns to the side for a minute because I wanted to hear more. Her idea was that this couple would get a Wedding Photographer, Officiant, flowers, Videographer, Invitations….etc. All they would have to do to have a shot at winning was to have their bridal party compete in some tough physical...
read moreDue to a very busy (and exhausting) schedule lately, this is the first wedding photo post that we’ve been able to put up in a few weeks. We’ve been working hard completing our new photography studio in Albany so, you can imagine that I was anxious to take a small break from that and blog one of our recent weddings. This one was on St Patty’s Day and appropriately enough our bride and groom Patricia and Art used that as their wedding theme. From green bride’s maids dresses to cloverleaf napkins this was was a St....
read moreIf you’re looking for a class to learn more about your digital SLR camera this is for you . Starting April 11th we will be holding a four week class on the basics of Photography at our new studio at 248 Sherman St in Albany. This will be an intense four week class that will really delve into the bare bone basics of digital photography. This a great opportunity to learn from a Photographer with more than 13 years of experience shooting. We announced this class a little more than a week ago and there are only a few seats left and after...
read moreIt’s that time a year again…not only for weddings but also for Engagement photos! The days of shooting outside while I can see my breath in the air has passed (for now) and we’re looking forward to all of the outdoor sessions that we have lined up. I had a fun E-session with Victoria and Dan last weekend on one of the nicest days that we’ve had so far in the Capital District. I will be the Photographer for their wedding coming up this spring and this was the perfect day to do their engagement photos. We took full...
read moreLast summer I met a bride-to-be named Tara that was looking for a Photographer for her upcoming wedding in Troy. Tara and Carlos had their big day set for February and they wanted to do engagement photos too. I was happy to come on board as their Wedding Photographer and also, to do their E-Session. Since Carlos is such a huge baseball fan (he plays for like 5 teams or something?) it only made since to use that as a theme for their photos (you can check out those pics here). We had a fun time doing those pics and I already knew they were...
read moreOK, it’s time. I’ve received many e-mails and phone calls over the past year from people asking when there would be another Basics to Photography class. When I taught this night class at Colonie High more than a year ago there was such a great response. I remember having a class of around 25 eager Photographers ready to learn. I had such a great group of students that I still hear from them from time time and one of them even assisted me at a wedding last year. So, this time instead of being at the High School the new class coming...
read moreLast spring I went back to my old stomping grounds in NYC to do Jeven & Dan’s engagement session on the Brooklyn Bridge which was definitely a fun and interesting one that I won’t ever forget. If you wanna go back down memory lane for a minute with me you can check out a few from their e-session here. Now almost a year later it was time for their big day at Franklin Plaza in Troy. It’s been a few months since we’ve done a wedding at Franklin Plaza and this was our first wedding of 2012 so we were anxious for this...
