I don’t leave the Albany area too much for engagement photos but I felt that this was a good opportunity to visit my old stomping ground and to do something out of the norm. When I talked to Jeven about shooting her wedding she mentioned that she loved the idea of doing their engagement pics on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City and a few at the South Street...
Learn MoreThe last engagement photo session that we shot was done in the crisp air of November in 2010 (brrrr…). So, I was anxious to get out and get some engagement pics the first nice day that we had in April. We’ll be shooting Jesse and Heather’s wedding in September of this year in Albany. When they came in to book us for their wedding day the next thing was...
Learn MoreI am not only looking forward to the weddings that we have coming up but I am also looking forward to engagement photo sessions with some really great couples. Our late March and April schedule is already becoming filled with planned engagement sessions. So, to get in the mind-set for that, I felt that It would be good to look back on some of the best engagement pics...
Learn MoreHere we are with our last official Engagement Photo session blog of 2010 shot right in downtown Albany. It just so happens to be that this one was definitely one of my favorites. Miranda and Gerard were a fun couple to work with and I look forward to doing their wedding photos in May 2011. The great thing about downtown Albany is that it gives a Photographer many...
Learn MoreYou gotta love an Engagement Photo session! So relaxed and so much fun for a couple that has a wedding coming up. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I still get a kick out of the giddyness(is that a real word?) and excitement in an engaged couple’s eyes when they look at each other and think about their upcoming wedding day. I’ve been fortunate...
Learn MoreI’m finally getting caught up with all of my blogging for the year. My goal for 2011 is to put blog post up quicker and closer to the day of the shoot. Earlier this year I didn’t realize how important putting regular blog posts up was until I realized people were actually looking at my posts (go figure). Well, I may sound like a broken record, but I’ll...
Learn MoreI have to say that Altamont is a great place for photography! I’m not just saying that because my last blog post was about a Altamont wedding (see it here). This scenic spot was definitely worth the 20 minute drive out of Albany. It took a little while for Jackie, Ryan and myself to coordinate our schedules so that we could do this engagement photo session, but it...
Learn MoreWhat would fall be without an engagement photo session that included some apple picking? This is a fun time for any couple that has a wedding coming up. I met up with Valerie and Josh at an Altamont orchard (not too far from Albany) for a little apple picking and fun photos. While I enjoy posing a couple; I love to sit back and watch things happen naturally. Usually I...
Learn MoreI like to do Engagement Photo Sessions because I really get to know the couple in a stress free setting. Not too many photographers offer them standard in every wedding photography package like I do. I feel that it preps the bride and groom for what they will experience on the big day. I got to spend some time shooting Danielle and John at a park in Schenectady. They...
Learn MoreMaureen told me that she needed a photographer to shoot her wedding in Westchester County. Well, I shoot weddings down in New York City so, this was no problem at all (only 2 hours south of Albany). Then the next concern was finding a place to take the engagement photos. After giving it some thought the ideal spot for the couple was the place where they became...
Learn MoreThese engagement photo sessions are great because they are so relaxed for the future bride and groom who will face time constraints and the “hustle and bustle” on their wedding day. This is a time for the couple to hang out together and do some fun poses care-free. I had the opportunity to do a great engagement photo session with Christina and Chris last...
Learn MoreEngagement Photo Sessions are great because they give me a chance to interact with the couple before the wedding day. It’s nice to get to know the future bride and groom just a little more and it’s good that they know me a little more and get used to my shooting style. Some photographers call these photo sessions practice sessions because they get the couple...
