Boston Wedding Photography

Photo of the Day today is from that special wedding I did in Boston this past fall.. a traditional Chinese wedding with a couple who LOVED photography. I felt like if it was up to them we would have spent all day running around town taking photos! :)
Also as a sidenote if you’re around and online tonight and would like to hear me talk a bit about photography, I’m honored to be doing an interview with a bunch of Google+ photographers you can check it out HERE.

Newark Museum Wedding Photography

Todays photo of the day is from a wedding at the Newark Museum in Newark, New Jersey.  What a cool wedding this was and the fact that Sarah and Drew chose the Newark Museum for their wedding was pretty awesome. Being able to walk around these amazing rooms and take photos was a great opportunity. One of my favorites from the day was this particular shot we took before the reception got started. I really enjoyed their wedding and look forward to posting more photos soon!

January 19, 2012 - 9:49 am daniel stark - nice one!

January 19, 2012 - 10:13 am Jesse Pafundi - Looks like a killer spot. Love those curtains.

New York City Wedding Photography

Jeffrey proposed out of the blue to Briana over pizza and some vintage champagne.. after she said yes, Jeffrey had a town car waiting for her to whisk her away to France for a winery tour. What a wonderful way to start their story.

 

I met Jeffrey a few years ago through the restaurant scene in New York City while he was the GM at a restaurant named Scarpetta.. we had a good time hanging out during a few photo sessions and when he told me he was getting married and wanted me to photograph his wedding I was honored.

 

The entire day was awesome from their Central Park ceremony to being whisked away in a vintage NYC cab to the foodie lovers paradise of a wedding reception at the The Stanard Hotel (formerly known as the Cooper Square Hote).  Negroni’s to drink, a stacked raw bar bursting with oysters and shrimp, and suckling pigs or “porchetta” as they’re called. There was a jazz trio during the cocktail hour and then some lively dancing out on the rooftop deck overlooking Manhattan, late into the night. Besides being filled with great food and drink, the room had so much happiness and love at this wedding. Thanks to Bonnie Burke for coming through with her excellent second photographer duties.

 

Thank you to the lovely Briana and dapper Jeffrey for having me photograph their special day, it was a total pleasure. Now onto the images from this perfect day.

January 10, 2012 - 10:34 am Colleen Redding-Lopez - Your photographs bring one through a journey of a day filled with love, fun, class and beauty. If I must choose "1" shot, I love the one with Briana and Jeff holding hands and walking through Central Park. I truly can feel how they feel :)

January 10, 2012 - 10:45 am Joe Lopez - You made me cry again, you really found a lot of very special moments. Your the best

January 10, 2012 - 11:48 am Jesse Pafundi - The shot of them on the bridge is incredible. All around a fantastic set!

January 10, 2012 - 4:31 pm Briana - This is just a taste of the amazing pictures Daniel & Bonnie captured for our wedding. I never expected to have so many "favorites". Daniel's portfolio stood out from the rest due to his unique, editorial style and his ability to lovingly capture NYC. There were none of the typical wedding pictures you've seen a million times making each picture feels special individually. Another thing guests said to me many times after the wedding was that they hardly noticed the photographers there. Daniel & Bonnie managed to capture all these wonderful photos and remain stealthy and out of the way at the same time. Another valuable skill. Clearly I could go on and on and on ....

January 10, 2012 - 4:45 pm Linda Hearn - GOOSE-BUMPS! Truly beautiful job!

January 10, 2012 - 4:57 pm Amanda - I love seeing the pictures of the vintage cab! Such a great touch to your wedding.

Bourne Mansion Wedding

Happy New Year to everyone..2011 was a busy year for Daniel Krieger Photography I booked over 50 weddings and a ton of engagement sessions. I’m going to try to be better about blogging all my wedding and engagement work in 2012 when I can catch my breath! :)

 

Today I wanted to share one of my favorite photos of the day from this amazing wedding at Bourne Mansion in Oakdale, NY.  This venue is quite majestic and served as a great backdrop to this beautiful couple Teresa and Rahn.. Teresa looked stunning and Rahn was a cool cat who actually played guitar and sang her a song during the reception (he’s quite talented). I hope to blog their entire day at some point but wanted to start out with this photo from inside the mansion. Enjoy

Boston Wedding Photography – Photo of the Day

Dennis and YuChan had a beautiful fall day for their Boston wedding. Dennis is a Harvard alumni so we got to roam some of the grounds at Harvard, and take some amazing photos. We made sure to take the time to visit a few of the many other gorgeous areas Boston has to offer.

After a church wedding they had a traditional Chinese tea ceremony followed by a fantastic Dragon dance…. I had so much fun and managed to capture a ton of beautiful memories for them. Below is one of their intimate moments I wanted to share today.

December 14, 2011 - 8:39 am wedding photography nyc - Beautiful photos! Your work is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing.

January 19, 2012 - 9:33 pm Jeff - Photos look great, but I have to comment that Dennis is a Harvard "alumnus" not "alumni" - Alumni is plural. Incidentally, a female graduate is an "alumna" Your nerdy friend, Jeff

Stone Mill NY Botanical Gardens Wedding – Photo of the Day

Candlewood Shore

This is my friend Rebecca, one of my closest friends growing up. Since I was a guest so I only took a handful of photos. When I’m a guest (especially when my girlfriend Jordana is with me) I try to not shoot so much, but its hard sometimes I see moments like this I gotta capture.

 

Rebecca got married a stones throw away from where I grew up in Brookfield Connecticut at the scenic Candlewood Inn.  Rebecca loved this photo so I printed it up and framed it for her as a gift and she hung it in her living room..

Picnic House Prospect Park – Film Wedding Photography

For today’s photo of the day, I wanted to share this wedding at the Picnic House in Prospect Park of this beautiful, happy couple Alycia and Mark. I love Brooklyn Weddings and the Picnic House is definitely a great venue for anyone wanting to keep their wedding in the city but also get some nature at the same time.

 

I took these three photos with my film camera, a medium format camera called a Hasselblad, which Alycia and Mark had requested. Whenever I meet with couples I let them know its an option that is fun for people who want the experience of getting some real film back and the quality of the images this camera produces are beautiful..so I’m always excited when I get to use it. The image of Alycia to the left and the far right of Mark were taking during the ceremony and the middle was right after they got married..enjoy!

September 26, 2011 - 5:26 pm Ryan Dearth - Gotta love the hasselblad - I think I need one....

September 28, 2011 - 10:02 am Jesse Pafundi - Hassies are great, love these shots Daniel!

October 21, 2011 - 1:13 pm Jonathan Micourt - These are amazing pictures! Candid shots are also dramatic and these portraits often reveal more than the quality of the picture itself; in fact, many professionals use the zoom to capture intimate and memorable moments.

December 30, 2011 - 5:31 pm Dallas Wedding Photographer - Very unqiue and creative style!!!
