New York and Queens Wedding Photography: A Guide to Venues, Planning, and Capturing Memories
Congratulations on your engagement! As one of the few things you actually keep after your wedding day is complete (and honestly, become more valuable over time), hiring the right wedding photographer is one of the most important choices you’ll make. After shooting literally hundreds of weddings of all kinds, in many situations, you can be assured that we’ll be a comforting presence, and your wedding photographs, a beautiful collection of timeless reminders from your big day.
Planning Your Wedding Day Photography
How to create a wedding day photography timeline whether you’re in New York, New Jersey, a Destination Wedding, and having a first look, or no first look. Here’s a guide to help you! If you’re getting married in the city, or in the country, you still need to consider travel time, how long to take photos of entire bridal party, and how much time to account for family photos of 10 or 50. Engagement photography is one of our specialties, and a terrific way for couples and photographers to get familiar with each other, and become more comfortable in front of the camera.
What to Do After The Wedding
Congratulations on your wedding! Regardless of where it was held, I'm sure everything was beautiful, and all the wedding planning leading up to the big day was all worth it. After saying your vows and dancing the night away, it's natural to take some time to enjoy married life - yes, you're married! - and soak in wedding bliss.

Real Wedding Stories and Highlights
When you have one beautiful bride and one handsome groom, you get a beautiful couple and an absolutely beautiful wedding. This Brooklyn New York wedding photography started out in Queens, NY in Middle Village as the bride and groom said their "I Do's" in Our Lady of Hope church. After a few portraits with the family, we headed to DUMBO and Brooklyn Bridge park to capture some more gorgeous photos. I treated the couple to a ride on Jane's Carousel and captured the cutest moments.
Another wonderful day was spent with Aiden + Brenda at The Foundry. So much fun, laughter, and love between these two. Similarly, Kate & Joe got ready at The Collective Paper Factory before their ceremony. It's imperative to choose a photographer who understands your vision, and whom you can trust to capture the memories of your celebration in a way that reflects your unique personalities.
