Coney Island- Cyclone Engagement Shoot- Ravit and David

[quote]Denise!!!!! I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The pictures came out absolutely beautiful. You have no idea how much I appreciate the the whole experience. Thank you again, Ravit and David[/quote]

Having a five pound camera slam you in the face as you plunge 85 feet at 60 mph is painful, (I’ve tried it in the past). So with this wisdom, I took the coaster photos of Ravit and David with a charming plastic film camera that is lighter than an iPhone. I’ve mastered the art of not holding on while riding ANY coaster a long time ago.  So it was a pure delight on that steamy July afternoon to create some exciting images of my clients holding on for dear life. They kept telling me when the drops were approaching, “Denise look out”.  When we exited the Cyclone I almost said, “Oh let’s look at the photos.” Then I got a good look at the back of that 20th century plastic camera and realized I would have to wait several hours until I would see anything. I was ready for another spin. It was a total rush shooting and riding the Cyclone,(combining two of my favorite things to do). If I had some La Maison Du Chocolat truffles in my mouth it would have hit the trifecta.  As my luck would have it, they were completely satisfied with their two minute ride and were confident that I got some wonderful images.
The other images were taken on the beach, around the park and of-coarse on the Wonder Wheel. With those images I used my Canon 5D Mark III and we had plenty of instant gratification. My assistant and I had such a wonderful time photographing Ravit and David. They were so natural in front of the camera. I always like to show the great friendship my couples share. Hopefully you can see that friendship in these images and be inspired by their love for each other. I’ll be posting their wedding images next on the blog, but I had to post their engagement shoot first :)- Denise-Owner/Founder Modern Wedding Photography

Allegria Hotel Wedding Margo and Anthony’s big day!

It seemed like everyone in Long Beach was a guest at Margo and Anthony’s beautiful ocean view ceremony. They watched from the new boardwalk, on foot, on bike and often in their bathing suits. Strangers cheered for them as they excited the ceremony site and walked towards the cocktail hour. Their reception was filled with heart warming speeches and a full blown Dance-A-Thon. Congratulation to Margo and Anthony. Thank you for having us be part of your wonderful day!

Krista and Jason’s Country Garden Engagement Shoot- Chelsea Mansion, Muttontown, NY

Our one hour afternoon shoot easily turned into a four hour shoot. Krista and Jason were a pure pleasure to photograph. Your shoot to be fun. I want you to feel special and celebrated. Krista and Jason had such a great time during their shoot. Being photographed is an experience unlike any other. I was so touched to receive this beautiful E-mail from my client the day after. I can’t wait for the big day as well!

As special thank you goes out to Michael at the Chelsea Mansion for all of his help.

[quote]Hi Denise, I just wanted to thank you so much for yesterday! We had such a blast!! (I'm kinda upset it is over but we have the wedding to look forward to). You were so amazing to work with and I absolutely love your attention to detail. I am so happy Lisa referred us to you, I couldn't imagine having a better photographer! Your assistant was so lovely, and such a huge help as well. You both made the day so pleasant. Jason and I can't wait to come see the pictures, I'm sure there are a bunch of great ones! Thanks again, talk to you soon! Krista[/quote]

HIRING A CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL FOR YOUR WEDDING-WPJA Article by Meghan McEwen

Meghan McEwen wrote this great article for the Wedding Photojournalist Association. I was reflecting on who my ideal clients are. They are the ones who trust me and what I do. They are the ones who want to enjoy their wedding day and let me interpret it. They want to live in the moment and then relive their wedding day through my point of view. This is the perfect article for any bride and groom who is still looking for or has already found their photographer. I hope you take away something valuable from this article. I feel it’s a must read.
