Garrity-Betts Wedding Slideshow

Here is a slideshow of some of my favorite images from Maura and Rob's wedding at The Woodlands at Woodbury. An unexpected snowstorm on their wedding day did nothing to diminish this couple's enthusiasm for the day and their wedding but provided the opportunity to get some fun and different images.

Photo of the Week 01/02/12

On New Year's Eve, I photographed the Andrea and Harry's wedding at Danford's Hotel and Marina in Port Jefferson, NY. It could also be said that I went to a really fun party and brought my camera along and it would not be all that inaccurate! For me, this image really captured the festive atmosphere of the wedding. I made this image with my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 70mm, an aperture of f/2.8, exposure of 1/30th of a second, and ISO 1600. For this shot, I used my SB900 Flash on camera in TTL mode with the diffuser dome and feathered one setting back from straight up. Use of the flash allows me to use such a slow shutter speed and still get a sharp image.

Maher-Visslailli Wedding Slideshow

I realized today that I never posted a slideshow for Maureen and Derek's Wedding from earlier this fall. This was another really fun couple I had the pleasure of getting to know this year. Their wedding took place in Morgan Memorial Park in Glen Cove, NY followed by an intimate backyard reception. It was a very candid and family-oriented day and it would have been easy to forget that I was not just another guest. Here are some of my favorite images from the day.

Photo of the Week 12/05/11

I made this image of Susan and Frank on their wedding night. They were a great couple and took the cold night air in stride so I could take a few evening photos of them. The bluish backlit comes from an bare strobe placed behind them. I made this image using my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 86mm, aperture of f/3.5, and exposure of 1/125th of a second at ISO 1000.

Photo of the Week 11/28/11

I have been doing sports photography for Farmingdale State College over the last few months and decided to choose one of these image for this week's photo of the week. Here Farmingdale Junior Forward AJ Matthews (5) fights for one of his 19 rebounds in Farmingdale's 66-57 win over Baruch College. Matthews also had 27 points and 8 blocks in the game and earned Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors for the Skyline Conference. I made this image using my Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens at a focal length of 135 mm, aperture of f/2.8 and exposure of 1/800th of a second at ISO 6400.

Photo of the Week 11/2/11

This past weekend, I went to a gathering of my fiancé's college friends to celebrate what they call "Fake Thanksgiving." It is just like Thanksgiving but done on a Saturday and with friends rather than family. I caught this image of one of the celebrants and his son on Sunday morning shortly before we left. I made this image using my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/1.4 and shutter speed of 1/800th of a second at ISO 1600.

This past weekend, I shot the wedding of Christina and Marcel at the Vineyard Caterers in Aquebogue, NY.
