Celebration of Life | NYC Dinner Event Photographer

,

Photographing at Le Bernardin by chef Eric Ripert is always in honor. Last time I photographed a dinner at this world famous 5 star rated Manhattan, NY restaurant was in 2017 for a closed door, off the record event with former President George W. Bush. Tonight’s dinner was for a global consulting and finance firm to celebrate the world opening up post-COVID, surviving the past 20 months of tumultuous times, and coming together to see one another again.

Tips for hiring a NYC Event Photographer for your dinner.

Photos of people eating (shoveling food in to their mouths) makes for awkward photos. The best way to have your evening photographed is to have your photographer photograph the before dinner, the after dinner, and the moments in between. For tonight’s dinner event, I photographed the reception, parts of the dinner, a musical guests, and several small speeches.

Your photographer should not distract guests.

Whether it’s myself, or my team of professional photographers out on an assignment, we are constantly scanning the room looking for the next photo. We wait for people to smile, to laugh, to talk with their hands, and to embrace one another. These moments make great photographs, and tell the story of your event as a fun time.

Manhattan's Newest Food Hall | Professional NYC Corporate Event Photographer

,

Photographing corporate events is an exciting experience for any NYC Event Photographer, no matter the occasion!

For tonight’s event, we photographed the soft opening of a new food hall for Boston Properties and their Marketing agency partner Bullfrog + BAUM. Our goals were to highlight the space, the vendors, and the guest’s reactions. The new food hall in located on Manhattan’s East side on 51st and Lexington. The space will be open to both the public and the thousands of employees working inside of the newly renovated building.

As Event Photographers it is our goal to photograph the 5 Ws: Who, What, When, Where, and Why of an event.

The 5 W’s, as I was taught in junior high school english, simply ask “What’s the point”. For an event photographer I need to answer the Who, What, When, Where, and Why the event occurred in each of my photos singularly and as a group. It is up to the client, the person hiring me, to decide how they will use our photos to tell a story or multiple stories.

  • Who attended the event?

  • Where was the event?

  • Why was this event important?

  • What was the event about?

  • When did the event occur? (Evening, Day, Fall, Summer)

John and May's Weehawken, New Jersey Engagement Party

Dinner, Celebration, and an amazing view of New York City!

John and May’s engagement party celebration was just that, a celebration! Both John and May are Greek, and upon discussing photographing their engagement party, they assured me their party was going to be a party. From their amazing family and friends, to their entertainment, and the view, everything was just perfect.

Photographing their engagement party was a real honor, after we had captured their secret proposal several weeks prior in Manhattan, NY. We are super excited for this great couple.

Living Cities Reconnecting With The Community - Corporate Event Photographer

“Capturing your business and culture in action” has always been my philosophy when photographing corporate events. Having your event photographed by a professional event photographer, whether it be a conference or a small event, is just as important as sending a professional email. These photos show your business and its vital team members in their element. My images can be leveraged in vital marketing materials, social media posts, and internal documents.

Hiring a Professional Event Photographer to photograph your NYC event is a crucial part of your marketing, advertising, recruiting, and social media strategy.

I have been a New York City event and conferences photographer for over fifteen years, working with businesses and clients of all types. Seeing the diverse ways my photos are used is always exciting. My images are most often used to recruit talent, to sell products and services, advertise a reoccurring event, or just to reminisce the good times.

Disney Night Before Christmas NYC Activation Event

,

Saturday we were hired to photograph Disney’s celebration of “Christmas in July” featuring the Night Before Christmas. The event was an activation with merchandise, characters, live music, and non-alcoholic drinks. As NYC Event Photographers we photograph a wide array of events from store openings and activations promoting brand awareness to more formal conferences and galas/fundraisers.

Hire a professional NYC event photographer who knows and understands the type of photos you are looking for. Great photos show your guests engaged. Great photos make great marketing and advertising content.

Prior photographing the event, I requested a “shot list” from the client detailing the type of images they were looking for and what specifically we should photograph besides the usual. Event photographers are not always tasked with just photographing posed and candid photos of people. Often we are responsible for photographing the room setup, which will be used for future reference, photos of product, and photos of special VIPs with certain guests or board members. As a professional photographer, I know the types of questions to ask before I even arrive.

What makes the best Professional NYC Event Photographer the best is their experience!

Having photographed hundreds of events throughout New York City and beyond, I know what and when I need to photograph. I always arrive early to capture setup photos, as not to get guests / staff in my shots, and to make sure I am ready to go at event start time.

On today’s shoot, I wanted to show off the production team’s attention to detail in the set’s design and the location of the event. I photographed a ton of setup photos and tried as much as possible to feature New York City in each shot. For a photo looking down at the event, I went to the top floor of a nearby building.

Nadine and Emily's Joint NYC Birthday Party

As an Event Photographer it is my job to photograph happy moments!

As a NYC Event Photographer, I photograph all different types of events from Corporate Events to fundraisers and galas to family parties and birthday parties. Saturday night, I photographed the joint birthday party of two sisters at Elsie Rooftop in Midtown Manhattan, not too far from Times Square.

the list of NYC birthday party venues is endless. picking the perfect space for a birthday party is hard. Sometimes it’s even harder finding a space that will allow a birthday party photographer.

The sisters booked a private space with an outdoor patio at Elsie Rooftop. Unfortunately, we couldn’t fully utilize the rooftop patio throughout the party as the weather did not cooperate. However, we were able to photograph several photos of each girl outside on the patio before the rain and the party started. Elsie Rooftop had great food, music, and an atmosphere everyone could enjoy. For me, as an event photographer, I was able to easily move around and photograph guests without bumping in to people.

Birthday party photographers should photograph posed group photos, candid moments, and everything in between.

The sisters hired me to not only photograph their birthday party, but also to photograph a mini-session of them before their party. As a NYC Birthday Party photographer, I don’t only just photograph the party. I also photograph the details of the party, their guests having a good time, and the birthday person(s). Prior the party, I photographed each sister outside and indoors with some easy poses.
