This Wedding Photographer based in New Jersey and New York loves to use mirrors in all of my shoots but especially wedding shoots. Why?? These shots are always interesting with their multiple perspectives, unique lighting, and potential for posed as well as beautiful, natural moments. Take a look at my recent destination wedding images and imagine how beautiful these photos will be in a digital wedding album!!
Whether you are looking for a photographer for a family portrait, engagement portrait or a Bar or Bat Mitzvah portrait, you will have to decide with your photographer on the style you want. I think of the choice in style as being formal versus informal, traditional versus contemporary, posed versus photojournalistic or candid. It’s your preference!!
Your clothes, makeup, location, and even posture and affect will all be determined by the style you choose. You need to select the kinds of photography that feels right and comfortable to you.
In working with your photographer, you may decide to change clothes or even settings and have both styles in one shoot. That way you have a choice; for example, of a traditional family portrait painting on canvas for the living room wall and more informal images shot in a park, the beach or your own backyard for your digital album or magazine style book. Same goes for engagement photos and even Bar and Bat Mitzvah portraits. Personally, this photographer likes the idea of combining styles for variety and choice. In this post are portraits I’ve taken that show the difference between “formal” and “informal” styles.
(All Photos by Nancy Katz ©) What a bummer!! Your engagement shoot is scheduled for this weekend and your photographer says you can’t re-schedule because of the busy wedding photography season. What to do???!!! You wanted to go to the beach!! Impossible?? No!! This NJ/NYC wedding photographer loves to shoot in Asbury Park along the boardwalk. Even if it’s raining, you have the protection os some fantastic architecture and spots to pose–there’s even a covered outdoor restaurant with couches and beds that would make for fabulous engagement photos! So, don’t despair this rainy, stormy weekend. Talk with your engagement photographer whether you’re in NYC, NJ or in my world–Bergen County- and come up with some creative venues that provide protection from the rain yet are in the outdoors (think covered gazebos coffee cafes, church entrances, and more!). Use your imagination and your engagement photos will be fabulous!
