Just a few quick images from Danielle and Chad’s engagement session. We headed out early in hopes of beating some of the heatwave and while it was still hot these guys were great! Thanks you guys!

Just a couple of photographs from Danielle and Chad’s recent engagement session. We did our best to beat the heat by heading out early in the day but this summer getting away from the sun is proving to be tough! Thanks guys!

Kellie and Mike

Dodging both the rain and the latest heat wave I had the pleasure to get out and shoot Kellie and Mike’s engagement session. We decided to head down to West Point to take a look around at the Thayer Hotel because that is where they will be getting married this December. After a quick look around at where the festivities would be held we headed out on a quick little tour of West Point. If you have never been, I highly recommend it because both the history and scenery are spectacular and we had a great time with their session.

Thank again Kellie and Mike, we’ll see you guys soon!

Updated: Jennifer and Mike get hitched!

What a gorgeous day it was on Saturday as Jennifer and Mike started their life together as man and wife. It has been such a pleasure to get to know these two and an honor to photograph their wedding. From the beautiful ceremony at the New Prospect Reformed Church in Pine Bush to the wonderful reception at FEAST at Round Hill in Washingtonville the day couldn’t have been any better and Jennifer was simply stunning!

Wishing you both all the best!

Here’s a couple of quick peeks from the day…

Thanks also to the folks at FEAST and Jimmy Dee’s Music Productions for putting together a great party!

Ashley and Walter’s engagement

Peter — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:15:33 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I met up with Ashley and Walter and we spent some time around Port Jervis shooting their engagement session. As much as I enjoy the excitement and emotions that I get to capture at weddings, engagement sessions are also incredibly fun for me. It’s a chance to get to know the couple who have entrusted me with photographing one of the most important days in their lives. That’s a huge responsibility and the better I know my clients, the better chance we have to make photographs that are beyond the ordinary. All the little stories about how they met and things that they enjoy doing add up to me being able to showcase them as a couple so much better than if I was meeting them for the first time on the day of their wedding and that can go a long way toward making the photographs of their wedding just a little bit more special. If you are looking for a photographer and want to find out more about why we feel this way, drop us a line.

Thanks again Ashley and Walter, see you guys real soon!

Will you soon be able to get a Vera Wang dress at David’s Bridal?

Peter — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:30:20 +0000

I just saw this article being sent around and thought I would drop a quick post about it.

Vera Wang partners with David’s Bridal

“Embarking on a collaboration with far-reaching implications in terms of the wedding market, the woman who symbolizes the epitome of high-end designer bridal has officially linked up with the ultimate mainstream bridal brand….”

There’s a lot of interesting commentary across the blogs as to whether this will help or hurt the Vera Wang brand. What are your thoughts, we’d like to hear them?

Erin and Anthony – The engagement session

Peter — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 16:30:25 +0000

We recently finished shot an engagement session for Erin and Anthony. These two were a great to shoot and we had a wonderful afternoon. Getting to know my clients better is one of the reasons I enjoy these engagement sessions, you get to find out their story and what makes them unique as individuals and how they fit together as a couple.

The engagement session also helps to put everyone at ease so on the wedding day you aren’t meeting your photographer for the first time. The wedding day is a busy and sometimes stressful day and do you really be wanting to be making introductions with your photographer just minutes ahead of when they will be documenting your memories of a lifetime? The engagement session is a chance for us to work together and get to know each other so on your wedding day we are sharing it with you not only as your photographer, but hopefully also as a trusted friend. We believe it is an honor to be chosen to photograph your wedding and we understand the trust you place in us, these session help us to bring out the best pictures that we can and that is why we are firm believers in doing an engagement session.

For instance we did this session in Newburgh and in the course of walking around we found ourselves near 26 Front Street, the now closed nightclub on the Newburgh waterfront. Well it turns out that is where Erin and Anthony first met so it of course warranted a shot! It’s learning about small details like that that makes our clients special to us. We want to know your story and help you tell it in the best way that we can.

Erin and Anthony, you guys were a blast and I hope you enjoyed the day as much as I did, thank you!

Raquel and Nicholas Mahabir

What an awesome day this couple had for their wedding. With all the wacky weather that had been going on we were all watching the forecast as their wedding date drew near. As it turned out we couldn’t have asked for a more gorgeous day for these two!

Surrounded by family and friend, Raquel and Nicholas said their vows at a beautiful, simple ceremony at the Kingdom Hall in Otisville. Wearing a spectacular dress, picked out by her father no less, Raquel looked absolutely stunning as she walked down the aisle.

After the ceremony the couple were whisked away to their reception at The Fountains at Wallkill Golf Course for dinner and dancing.

Thank you both Raquel and Nicholas for choosing us to share your very special day!

TIPP 2010 – See one, do one, teach one…

Peter — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 03:11:52 +0000

The title is a little phrase that is often used in the medical schools. It’s a way for the students to learn how to do a procedure. First you watch it, then you do it, then you teach someone else to do it. It’s really a great way of learning because no matter how much you think you have something figured out, it is when you are teaching someone how to do something that you find out you may not know as much as you thought you did. I learned that all too well a couple of weeks ago. There’s always a new question waiting just around the corner to make you look a bit silly…

I recently had the pleasure of going out to Pittsburgh and assisting my good friends Mike and Cody, of TriCoast Photography who were up from Texas to teach about wireless flash at the Triangle Institute of Professional Photography. It turned out they ended up with the largest class and because of the hands on nature of their instruction they asked if I would mind coming out to help as the students split into groups. I jumped at the chance to help out because a lot of what I have learned about flash photography I learned from Mike and Cody. But it was more than that, Mike and Cody have always been willing to share their time and knowledge of photography to anyone who asked and I thought this would be a way for me to do the same.

It was a blast! I met so many new friends who share the same passion as I do for photography and together we furthered our understanding of our art. From equipment to business discussions to just plain fun photography, I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of folks to share a week of learning with, thank you all!
