I love New York City
It was pouring outside, and I was debating whether or not I should go to the city to a Photographers seminar sponsored by Photoshelter and Adorama. To attend or not to attend, that was the question. Finally, I decided to get out, confront the wind, rain and the cold, and I headed to the city. A bus and a subway ride later, I was home. The water dripping on the entrance to the subway, the sound of the train making its way downtown, people rushing during peak hours, the taxis,... Read The Rest →
My two cents for DIY brides – Part 1
Ok, so my friend’s sister comes to visit me to discuss my wedding photography services. Suddenly, I have a flashback to when I first saw her. She was a little girl at the airport on her way to the big apple sobbing on my friend’s arms. The little girl turned into a beautiful and wonderful woman, and I’m thrilled to see her getting married to a very good man. And I’m honored that she is trusting me with her wedding photography. We sit down and start discussing her wedding plans. She... Read The Rest →

West New York Sweet Sixteen : Christina
I believe I have said it before on this blog. I love my job. I love being part of a family’s special day, capturing their memories, and handing them an album that I hope they will cherish until they’re 90 years old. It is a bonus when my girls and their family are as nice as it is the case of Christina and her family. Christina is the sweetest girl, and she has no idea of how beautiful she is. She is just gorgeous. Christina’s mom Leida was so amazing... Read The Rest →
Villa Barone Hilltop Manor Winter Wedding : Sara & Craig
This past Friday, I had the honor of shooting Sara and Craig’s wedding in Crotons NY. This beautiful couple opened the doors of their house, where I was able to take some intimate photos of the girls getting ready. As a photographer, I feel very well capturing the excitement of the people in a event like a wedding. I was very comfortable working in Sara and Craig’s wedding. The whole court was very easy to guide and despite of the cold, they were willing to take some pictures in the beautiful... Read The Rest →

Nice e-mails keep coming in.
Today, we got another very nice email from the mother of one of our Sweet Sixteen Girls, Krystal. Back in October, se shot her high fashion Sweet Sixteen Party at the Radisson’s newly renovated Crystal Ballroom in Freehold. It was a high fashion event with a Juicy Couture inspired theme, and Krystal look dead gorgeous. We had a blast shooting this event, and putting together the album and video. So it is so nice to hear that our hard work is making this family so happy. “Dear Gabriela and Danny,... Read The Rest →
Nicest e-mail
On November, we were lucky to photograph and film David and Luisa’s wedding. And when I say lucky, I mean it. Luisa looked amazing; her figure looked spectacular with a killer dress, and her hair and make-up were flawless. David also looked great in his a black tux. So besides the light rain, I can say photographing them was a breeze. Today, they sent us one of the nicest emails after they saw a slide-show of their wedding album, and I have to share it with you. “Gabriella!!! Our mouths... Read The Rest →
Addison Park Sweet Sixteen : Meghana’s Sweet 16 Album
Although I previously said I was a wedding photographer, from time to time, I get requests to take Sweet Sixteen Pictures, and I have to confess, that I love it. My girls, as I affectionally call them, are so nice and incredibly sweet. Sometimes, they are shy; sometimes, they are outgoing, but no matter what, we always have fun shooting. During Thanksgiving week-end, I had the pleasure of shooting Meghana’s elegant Sweet Sixteen Party at the beautiful Addison Park. Here is the slide-show of the album I put together for...

Bloomfield Wedding : Melissa & Ricardo
Shooting Melissa and Ricardo’s Wedding looked like a challenge when Danny and I scouted Bloomfield Park. The park sat next to a train station, which was a challenge by itself for Danny to record sound; it was also located next to a main avenue, to a stream, and it had mixed lighting. But when I see Melissa and Ricardo’s pictures, I can only see the love and joy this wonderful couple had for each other.
