Catskills, NY Wedding Photography – Full Moon Resort

August 31, 2010 at 10:29am Posted in Wedding Photography

I’m really excited to share one of the most fun weddings I had the honor of photographing at the Full Moon Resort for a wonderful couple named Eve and Josh.  When I met with this engaged couple and found out I would have the chance to photograph a weekend long wedding in upstate New York, I was super excited. We started out with an engagement session in Brooklyn and after seeing how those photos came out I knew they were going to be perfect for my style of photography.

Everyone had such an amazing time at this wedding….from hysterically funny speeches to musical performances, and short films (this was a seriously talented group of people). There was a bbq rehearsal dinner, a gorgeous ceremony, and after parties every night. And all this before the really fabulous wedding reception. The food was delicious, the wedding tent was picture perfect and Eve looked simply stunning as you can see. Eve and Josh laughed and danced with everyone, and just showed the kind of emotion and spirit a photographer like me wants to see when capturing their special day.

Enjoy the photos..I know there’s a lot of them but I was there shooting almost 2 days and didn’t want to miss any of these special moments!

These origami birds looked perfect for a creative ring photo:

This is probably my favorite wedding photo from the weekend:

Brooklyn Engagement Session – A walk through Prospect Park

August 23, 2010 at 12:40pm Posted in Engagement Photography

Marne and Josh met up with me a few weeks ago to take some amazing engagement pictures in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. I gotta start by saying how much fun it was to work with both of them, Marne was making me laugh the whole time…she has a great sense of humor (as is evidenced by one of her silly faces below). The weather was perfect for photos, we got some great diffused light as well as some late day sun (nothing beats that for photos). Their wedding is coming up in November at Temple Avodah in Oceanside, NY and if our engagement session is any indication of how the photos are going to look..I think it will be an awesome day.

John Leguizamo, Shake Shack, Edible Queens, and the New York Mets

August 17, 2010 at 8:27am Posted in Fun Stuff, Photojournalism

When I got the call for this assignment I was excited to hear it was going to be my first magazine cover..and when I found out it would be with John Leguizamo I was even for into it, as I’ve always enjoyed him from his films to the HBO specials he’s done. The story was for Edible Queens, a NYC based food magazine where I’ve been doing a lot of photography recently. We went to Mets stadium and John ate some Shake Shack Burgers and some sushi for the story.

The shoot was great and John was a lot of fun to work with, and afterwards the Mets people treated us all to some Shake Shack burgers and fries, so how could you complain (its one of my favorite burgers in the world).

Then to top it off the in house photographer at the Mets asked me during my shoot if he could take a few shots of John, so the Mets would have some photos to use.  I always try to be friendly to fellow photographers so I made sure he got a few good ones in. Afterwards he came up and thanked me and said, “Hey anytime you want to come to the stadium and sit down with the press photographers let me know and I’ll have you come in and take some shots.” How could I pass that up? So last week I made it to the Mets vs. Colorado game with Johan Santana (one of their ace pitchers) on the mound. It was an awesome game and I got a chance to try out a 300mm lens which was pretty cool (brings you close to the action). Now I just hope no one gets mad at me for saying I’m a Yankees fan :)

August 19, 2010 - 2:00 am Sebastian - That burger looks extremly tasty! Great photos! :-)

August 19, 2010 - 5:10 pm Chris Fig, Videographer - Wow, what a dream gig! I love John Leguizamo, and Shake Shack is the best burger joint in NYC hands-down. Great cover shot. Did you use any diffusion? Or is that just natural light? I really like the gradient look of the seats.

August 23, 2010 - 3:27 pm Dubai-photographer - Great shots John

August 31, 2010 - 1:28 pm tim sinclair - lovely work Danny-boy!

A locally sourced Brooklyn Wedding – Katherine and Johnny

July 15, 2010 at 11:59am Posted in Wedding Photography

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 - 6:33 pm Dorothy - 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 20, 2010 - 12:42 am matt shumate - 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 Az - 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 Michelle Lask - 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 Brad Ross Photography - Great work Daniel. Another amazing set.

July 20, 2010 - 7:32 am Kat Braman - what a cool place to get married! their personalities and style really come through your images.

July 20, 2010 - 9:02 am Ryan Brenizer - Nice, I love Brooklyn Bridge Park. I hope they managed to time their vows around the subways.

July 20, 2010 - 10:29 am Roger - 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 James Reyes - Gotta love the dog looking over the wall. Great photos!

August 2, 2010 - 11:48 am Sebastian - The portraits of the bride are gorgeous! What a great location to celebrate a wedding. :-) "unique-wedding-photography.jpg" (interesting image-name, I think) looks so warm and "close" - great photos! What's that key for?! The leather - tag looks great.

Long Island Wedding Photography – Erin and Paolo

July 6, 2010 at 10:56am Posted in Wedding Photography

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!

New York City Wedding Photography – Roni and Wayne

June 22, 2010 at 8:01pm Posted in Wedding Photography


 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 Its always fun when your wedding couple has a good sense of humor :) Love this shot of them walking down the aisle Now this is a dancing photo!
