Teddy and Lindsay will be celebrating their wedding in New Orleans in style but wanted to have their engagement session in New York City. One of the best places to have an e-session if you ask me is in Central Park and I know a few pretty cool locations where there aren’t thousands of tourists..so we hit up a few of those spots.
We had a great time walking through the park enjoying the late day light.. Lindsay was a natural in front of the camera as you’ll see. Enjoy!

A locally sourced Brooklyn Wedding – Katherine and Johnny
I’m really excited to share this recent wedding which had it all, everything you could ask for with a Perfect Brooklyn Wedding.
The Wedding Dress – Let’s start with that. Katherine’s wedding dress which was actually made by one of the Groomsmen, their friend and obviously talented tailor Bobby Frederick Tilley.
The Ceremony – The weather was beautiful and the rites were read in Brooklyn Bridge Park…. Katherine looked stunning in her dress with her flowers by local Brooklyn florist Opalia, Johnny dashing, and their puppy Lola didn’t look too shabby either with flowers round her neck.
The Reception – Might have been the best wedding food I’ve ever had? The always warm and inviting Frankies 457 was host to this amazing Brooklyn wedding, with perfectly set tables and expert waitstaff. There was dancing, heartfelt speeches, some fun props for photos, and local Brooklyn baker Betsy at Nine Cakes who made several scrumptious wedding cakes.
The Photos - Now its time for my part.. I had so many I wanted to share it was hard to pare it down..so here’s a bunch of my favorites from the day.
July 15, 2010 - 12:22 pm - Beautiful photos of a beautiful couple! Congratulations Kathrine & Johnny!
July 15, 2010 - 12:45 pm - Daniel, we couldn't have asked for a better experience than the one we had with you. I seriously cannot stop looking at the photos you took of our wedding. I think you captured all the moments I could have wanted and I barely even realized you were taking photos the whole time. You're a total pro and an awesome person. Thank you!!!
July 15, 2010 - 12:47 pm - These photos are absolutely beautiful! Daniel you did a wonderful job; I want to have another wedding just so you can be my photographer! Congrats Kat and Johnny!!
July 15, 2010 - 4:10 pm - Daniel, Your pictures of this wedding are fantastic. You captured some wonderful expresssions in your candid photos. These will be the ones that the Bride and Groom treasure forever! I especially like the ones taken around the city after the wedding!
July 15, 2010 - 4:15 pm - Really beautiful captures of an awesome day!
July 15, 2010 - 4:27 pm - Absolutely beautiful!
July 15, 2010 - 4:45 pm - May your lives be as beautiful and stunning as your photos!!! Best wishes always.
July 15, 2010 - 5:19 pm - Wow, what gorgeous pictures! I showed them to people who don't even know the bride & groom just because they're that good. What a beautiful day.
July 15, 2010 - 5:58 pm - Gorgeous photos! The one of Katherine alone in black and white is stunning! Should be in a magazine!
July 15, 2010 - 6:33 pm - I truly enjoyed looking at each and every picture - the wedding dress hanging in the window is an amazing picture. I loved the shot of the shoes, the rings, the ring holder and the handkerchief - another out-of-the-ordinary shot. My favorite is the very last picture of the two of you - your photographer did a wonderful job capturing your love for each other.
July 16, 2010 - 4:59 am - Great pictures of a lovely lovely day!
July 16, 2010 - 5:08 am - Absolutely gorgeous. Seeing these photos makes me wish I could get married all over again and hire Daniel to be the photographer.
July 16, 2010 - 5:43 am - Wow, really great photos!!
July 16, 2010 - 6:18 am - Really beautiful photos, it was an amazing day.
July 16, 2010 - 6:20 am - There are so many perfect photos that capture the emotion of the day!
July 16, 2010 - 10:05 pm - Such intimate photos of so many moments of that perfect day - preserved for a lifetime. Katherine absolutely radiates from every photo she's in, and the love Johnny shares with her electrifies each shot. These photos are true treasures!
July 17, 2010 - 6:42 am - Such a beautiful wedding and such amazing photos to bring back the great memories!
July 18, 2010 - 1:29 pm - Incredible photographs of an incredible day.
July 19, 2010 - 8:10 am - The photos really capture how personalized and carefully crafted the day was - perfetto!
July 19, 2010 - 11:37 am - I love this couple's style! Gorgeous :)
July 19, 2010 - 12:59 pm - What a perfectly beautiful "picture perfect" wedding. Great job to the photographer for capturing the love in the couples eyes. All the best to the bride and groom for a lifetime of love and happiness.
July 19, 2010 - 6:52 pm - Beautiful work on this one, dude...
July 19, 2010 - 9:38 pm - That third detail shot is a winner, and oh birdcage veils FTW!
July 19, 2010 - 10:16 pm - those bridal portraits at the top are stunning! and i love the details too. quirkiness and humor come through beautifully. great set.
July 20, 2010 - 12:35 am - Very cool set, Love the prep shots and the one of the dog (brilliant).
July 20, 2010 - 12:42 am - Lots of amazing photos here but the shot with the shoes & other details is now stuck in my head. I've had a similar shot in my imagination for a long time. Yours makes me not want to take that picture ever for fear that it would be terribly inferior.
July 20, 2010 - 1:21 am - Lovely images Daniel....I wish I had shot the image of the shoes with the thread. I am a little jealous too, I would love to shoot a wedding in NYC.
July 20, 2010 - 5:23 am - So wonderful, so warm. I guess when working with these beautiful subjects the standard is quite high. The warmth & love certainly come through in these images. Thanks for sharing them. Makes me proud to be a Brooklyn girl.
July 20, 2010 - 5:38 am - Great work Daniel. Another amazing set.
July 20, 2010 - 7:32 am - what a cool place to get married! their personalities and style really come through your images.
July 20, 2010 - 9:02 am - Nice, I love Brooklyn Bridge Park. I hope they managed to time their vows around the subways.
July 20, 2010 - 10:29 am - Really great photo's Daniel. I know that both families will treasure these for years to come! Good job!
July 20, 2010 - 12:08 pm - Gotta love the dog looking over the wall. Great photos!
July 20, 2010 - 5:19 pm - mr. krieger, you are very very talented!
Vote for Me! – Best Wedding Photography Blog
I was recently nominated for Best Wedding Photography Blog by The Wedding Channel and the contest is still going on.. please vote for Daniel Krieger for Best Wedding Photography Blog. Thank you so much!
Here’s a little celebratory photo from an amazing wedding I shot recently (blog post to come soon I promise!).
Long Island Wedding Photography – Erin and Paolo
When Erin and Paolo contacted me they sounded like a fun couple that I was looking forward to meet..when we met and I found out that Paolo was a comic book artist and would be creating a comic book for the wedding, and that Erin was a huge fan of slurpies and wanted to get one during the wedding and take some photos with it, I was sold on them and crossed my fingers that they would hire me to photograph their wedding.
I was thrilled when I got the call and told they were choosing me, and I think we managed to get some really fun and beautiful images on their special day. Paolo was a very cool guy and an amazing artist and Erin was so sweet and looked stunning on her wedding day. The day started with a lovely mass at St. Cecilia’s Church in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and then we headed to Jericho Terrace in Jericho, NY for the wedding reception. Jericho Terrace was really a lovely place for a wedding where everyone enjoyed the great food, service, and tons of dancing. I had an awesome time. Now for the photos!
July 6, 2010 - 1:03 pm - really great stuff dan!
July 6, 2010 - 3:12 pm - Gorgeous as always!
July 6, 2010 - 4:12 pm - I'm the bride from these pictures. Once again Daniel thank you so much for capturing our day! I can't tell you how many compliments we've gotten on your pictures. You really helped make our wedding special and unique!!! I've recommended you to all my engaged friends!
July 13, 2010 - 11:30 am - These photos rock!
July 13, 2010 - 11:31 am - These Photos Rock! You sure got a knack for shooting weddings.
New York City Wedding Photography – Roni and Wayne
I just had to post a lot of photos for this beautiful Jewish Wedding I shot a few weeks ago at the Midtown Loft and Terrace, one of New York Cities most amazing venues to get married at (in this wedding photographers opinion). It was such a fun event I wanted to focus on every detail from Roni’s beautiful smile, to the wonderful Ketubah, to the spirited dancing of the Hora (the last two are traditional Jewish Wedding ceremonial things). Besides the great wedding food and stunning Manhattan views we had the skilled DJ Gary Hoffman spinning tunes and Baked NYC making the most amazing wedding cakes and desserts. And a big thank you to my talented second photographer Jeff Wilson… it was pretty much a perfect wedding.
I was excited to share the photos after the wedding and when I got this email below from Roni today I wrote her back and said, “I’m going to post that with my blog” since it was basically an unprompted testimonial and made me so glad to have taken her photos. In Roni’s words,
“OMG!!!!! These are the most amazing photos ever…and I am not just saying that because I am in them. You did a fantastic job, I can’t believe that that was my wedding! Please let midtown loft use them on their website if they want. I can’t wait to put an album together. let me know what we need to do. You are the best photographer ever! It was a pleasure working with you. You were professional, prompt, and had a great eye for the perfect photos. You truly captured the wedding and what I wanted the wedding to be.”
Thank you for having me photograph your wedding Roni and Wayne.
The beautiful bride near the Flatiron building

Now this is a dancing photo! 
June 24, 2010 - 6:26 am - exuberant, beautiful, happy pictures. nice work, danno!
June 24, 2010 - 8:34 am - These are great!!! And the one of me is the best I've seen in ages:)
June 27, 2010 - 10:55 am - gorgeous colors, perfect timing and thoughtful composition. inspiring as usual!
June 28, 2010 - 10:54 pm - I LOVE your use of silhouettes! I don't think I've seen many photographers use shadows the same way! Good job. And your photos are so sharp! Is that post production?? Or just amazing equipment??
July 6, 2010 - 3:14 pm - You really captured their energy well. Lovely photos.
Brooklyn Engagement Session – Neal and Kim
I recently photographed this great E-Session with Neil and Kim, a lovely looking Brooklyn Couple. I started out in their building which has an amazing abandoned apartment on the top floor which affords gorgeous views overlooking Brooklyn into Manhattan. After taking a few shots there we walked around their neighborhood, including the Brooklyn Promenade and then hit up DUMBO. Overall it was a fun, beautiful engagement session of this enthusiastic couple who were up for anything. The recently engaged couple loved the photos and we’re both excited for me to cover their upcoming wedding!
We had some beautiful light to play with which you can really see I took advantage of in those first few photos. And the one where Kim is looking up at Neil on the bench is one of my favorites from the day.. she has such a radiant smile. Enjoy the photos:

New Jersey Wedding Photography – The unique wedding of Lorna and Jerome
I don’t know where to start with this amazing wedding that I was lucky enough to photograph. Lorna came to me excited about my wedding photography and basically told me I was the one she wanted to photograph her wedding before we even met! Lorna explained her wedding was to have a masquerade theme which was going to include masks for guest (since it was right around Halloween) and would be taking place at an beautiful old theater in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Landmark Theater (or Loews Landmark Theater) has a majestic ballroom with endless possibilities for beautiful wedding photographs.
The wedding ceremony took place on stage and was lit just as if a play was happening for a Broadway show. The entire wedding from start to finish was one beautiful affair from Lorna’s vintage looking dress to Jerome’s debonair tux. I had so much fun photographing this wedding and I’m proud to share their beautiful wedding photos with you.
June 1, 2010 - 7:56 am - Another amazing set of photographs. Great work!
June 1, 2010 - 8:09 am - Hei I would like you to be closer to Tuscany (Italy) to engage with you on most of our weddings!!! I really like these pics, and our couples would love to have you. One of the first pictures - I assume that was the father with a dog... - that's stunnign, very unusual and the type of I would like to hang at home!!!! Oh BTW: a theatre!!! how fantastic!!!

June 3, 2010 - 8:58 pm - Wonderful stuff man. So they booked the theatre for the wedding ceremony and not just the shoot right? :) Did you do this all by yourself or had an assistant? I am so excited as another job is coming up soon :D
June 4, 2010 - 3:18 pm - These pictures as well as their love will last a long time... what a classic romance!
June 4, 2010 - 4:26 pm - I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful photographer!! Daniel did a fabulous job and made the day seem so special. He was able to capture not only the look of the day, but all the emotions. Looking through my photos I'm able to recall everything I felt at that time. He turned small moments into big memories for me, and for that I can't thank him enough.
June 4, 2010 - 4:27 pm - BTW @bronney - Yes, we did book the theater for the ceremony and reception and Daniel did this phenomenal work on his own!
June 5, 2010 - 10:34 am - This was spectacular!! Daniel did an amazing job and I will recommend him for weddings! Lorna looks amazing and I love the theatre setting and the lighting especially!! I am truly moved!

June 8, 2010 - 11:01 am - Wow Lorna these photos are AMAZING. They look like they are straight out of a bridal magazine. They all just look like they should be in some kind of a celebrity wedding memoir. I hope you and the hubby are doing well.

Louis Theroux – Photojournalism assignment for the BBC
In one of the more interesting, challenging assignments I’ve had was when I was asked to photograph BBC Documentary film maker Louis Theroux for the BBC. Louis Theroux went into Philadelphia to make a documentary about the police department in one of Philadelphia’s roughest neighborhoods.
My assignment was to follow Theroux for a few hours into some of the neighborhoods he had been documenting on film. The BBC wanted some stills for promotion such as this little piece here on the UK Telegraph. Accompanied with some of the Philadelphia police we went to some of toughest streets and areas I’ve ever seen. I was a bit nervous even accompanied by these huge guys with guns.. it was intense, but great experience. I recently shot a second assignment for another documentary with him that I will post about eventually.
You can watch the entire documentary online here and check out some of my photographs below:
May 18, 2010 - 7:42 am - Nice one, Daniel. What was he like? Coincidentally, my son Alexander and I were chatting about Louis Theroux the other night. It's amazing how he manages to gain the confidence of so many unusual people.
May 18, 2010 - 3:19 pm - Awesome series of pictures, Daniel! Great, great shots! :-)
May 24, 2010 - 9:05 am - What an excellent assignment. Congrats, Daniel.
May 26, 2010 - 8:19 pm - wow, that's a great assignment and great shots. Theroux is the man.
May 26, 2010 - 8:25 pm - Thanks for the comments! Garry - He was very cool to hang out with..intense and focused I will say. One thing I remember about him the first shoot was that he brought a copy of the New York Times with him and seemed to be reading it whenever he had a chance. I just found that interesting, I'm sure if you do what he does you need to stay on top of current events all the time.
June 5, 2010 - 12:49 pm - These are awesome! What a cool assignment.
Springtime Wedding in New York – Michael and Nicole
I couldn’t have asked for a more lovely, lively, and fun couple than Michael and Nicole. I knew we were going to make some beautiful wedding photos together the first time we met and they booked me on the spot (always love when that happens!). Michael and Nicole had a small, intimate ceremony on the rooftop of their building, overlooking Manhattan and the Empire State Building. After their poetic vows to each other we headed out for some cool wedding pictures. The reception was at Moran’s in Chelsea, which was a beautiful venue for a wedding.. they did a really nice job with the food, service, and atmosphere. The band and the dancing was, well.. pretty intense. Everyone was tearing up the dance floor and several times wedding guests sang with the band and even played instruments with them a bit.. It was a great way to kick of my wedding season to say the least.. lots of fun and great photos..check em out:
May 28, 2010 - 11:07 pm - Great shots! Wine glass & pooch are excellent!
June 9, 2010 - 9:55 am - Beautiful, as always! I LOVE the second one with all of them laughing, it made me smile.
Commitment Ceremony – The beautiful wedding of Dawn and Jennifer
What’s better than one beautiful bride? Well how about two of them! I had the good fortune to photograph a commitment ceremony/wedding this past fall at the Le Parker Meridien hotel. Dawn found me through the online wedding world as she runs a wonderful blog called The Alternative Bride, which is a beautiful wedding website. We started out with a fun engagement session together which is here if you want to see a few of the photos.
About the wedding day: the weather was a gorgeous fall day so we walked into Central Park to take a few photos before the ceremony, which also took place in Le Parker Meridien (really lovely place for a wedding). Every detail of the day was perfectly planned and executed. The vows, the food, the table settings, and especially the people all came together to create an amazing wedding. It was really a great day.. check out a few photos.
April 15, 2010 - 1:43 pm - Thank you so much for making our wedding day so special. You were a pleasure to work and we're so happy that we have your amazing photos to look back at and relive our day. Thanks again! :)
April 20, 2010 - 9:47 pm - Beautiful work as always, Daniel. The composition of the first shot is fantastic. So minimal, but it says EVERYTHING. Bravo, sir.
