Coral House New York Wedding Kimberley and Brendan
Last year, I got three phone calls for a May 2nd wedding. What a popular date I thought at first, as I got more details, it turned out, it was the same wedding. When I finally meet Kimberley and Brendan, I felt like I knew the family already, and we were immediately hooked. They had their wedding at the Coral House in Long Island New York. Kimberley and Brendan are such a lovely couple, and their love shinned on every step of the way. Congratulations! Kimberley is one the sweetest brides I’ve... Read The Rest →
10 ways to keep children entertained at weddings
As a photographer, and a mother of a twenty month old, I love photographing children at weddings. They look super cute on their grown-up outfits, they’re the first ones on the dance floor, and they are simply fun to be around and photograph. On the other hand, it is important to remember that above all, they are children, and their needs and schedules are different than ours. They get tired, hungry, bored and when that happens, they will not be happy, and unhappy children not always cooperate the way adults want, which is... Read The Rest →
New Jersey Sweet Sixteen – Camila
There is something about taking Sweet Sixteen Pictures that I simply love. I ask them about the type of photography they have in mind, their interest, and their likes.

So my teenage memory tells me: Come on lady do you really expect me to say that I want to look like a... Read The Rest →
Happy Good Friday and Happy Birthday J
After giving it much thought, I decided to publish this blog. I hope I don’t offend any of my fellow wedding photographers, or any photographer for that matter. But again, I said, I had given this much thought, and decided to post it with a Free Lightroom Preset. Recently, our second photographer, Jarlen, and I were having a discussion about retouching and post processing photographs. I believe most wedding and event photographs can benefit greatly if they process their pictures either in Lightroom, Aperture or Photoshop. He is just starting... Read The Rest →
Connecticut House for Sale – Real Estate Pictures
I was eighteen years old when I met my dear friend Paolo. I started working for a high profile businessman from my home country. Young and with little experience of Corporate America, I looked up to Paolo and learned so much from him. Not only because he is one of the most intelligent and honest men I have ever known, but also because he was willing to share his knowledge. When people were betting the market was going up, he was ahead of the crowd and was warning it could crash. Recently,... Read The Rest →
Ayaiza and Frank Pre- Wedding Pictures
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful little princess, named Ayaiza, who loved to show off her castle. She lived in Cuba and dreamed of finding true love and living happily ever after.
