Long Island's Wedding Photographers

Adobe CS5 | Content-Aware Fill

WOW

With all the bad press lately surrounding Adobe and Flash, I was really surprised to see this video of the upcoming Adobe Photoshop CS5. The video, in particular, highlights an exciting new feature for photographers of every type. it is called Content-Aware Fill. It essentially allows you to remove, move or repair items faster and seamlessly.

It is an impressive video. I look forward to seeing this released in the coming weeks.

Long Island Weddings | Matt + Rachelle = ♥

Some of our best client so far, Matt + Rachelle are naturals in front of the camera. The rain showers couldn’t put a damper on the occasion. After a thoughtful, personal ceremony in which Rachelle shared a note she wrote for her Husband-to-be years earlier, the party continued at the Fox Hollow Inn.

The band, Heart and Soul , was voted one of the Best Bands on Long Island. They were electric and had the crowd on the dance floor throughout the night. We wish Matt + Rachelle the best and thank them for the opportunity to be part of their special day.

Check out the photo slideshow below and follow us on twitter.

Eric & Danielle

The phone rang and it was Danielle letting me know that she and Erik had just gotten engaged. I’ve known Danielle for a bunch years and it was great to catch up with her for a little while. For about half of the 4 years they’ve been together, she and Erik have been doing the long distance thing. Living in two places can be difficult, but as she says, it was God’s peace that kept them striving for each other. She asked if I was free any day that week to take a few photos of the two of them since they would have to return to their separate homes soon. It’s funny getting to photograph people you care about. There is this awesome ability to capture their smiles and know that they are true.

Keith and I are trying something new by asking our couples to tell us a little about themselves. Here’s what Danielle had to say about the journey they’ve taken to get where they are now.

Where did you meet?
We met at Houghton College, upstate NY. Erik played on the mens soccer team and I played on the women’s team. We got introduced to each other during preseason training.

When did you know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with each other?

Well that is a tough question because there is not just ONE moment when I just knew, rather it was more of a “4 year” growing experience with the two of us (which to me was too 3 years too long ;) .

On a serious note over the past four years I have heard several “older” people calling their spouse their “better half.” The closer Erik and I have become the more I believe this is true. He makes me a better person and his strengths compliment my weaknesses perfectly and vice versa. I am amazed everyday that God could bring someone so perfect for me into my life! I really think God granted us both peace over the years showing us that we belonged with each other, otherwise I don’t think we would have survived the past 2 1/2 years long distance.

The other night I stopped by John’s house. I was so hungry so we thought where else to go then “GC” in Tyler language that stands for Green Cactus ( there website is so bad ) When we got back we were pretty board and decided to mess around with a few strobes. Below are a few photos from that night.

The Chads

So when “The Chad” asked me to photograph his family I was super happy. We met them at a park close to their house. I believe it was Lakeland County Park in Islandia. They are a great bunch, super down to earth, and a lot of fun. The whole family was super photogenic.  It was great having Ashley there as my assistant. She really works so well with kids. We tried to get her to sing some Gymboree songs, but we had no luck. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think.
