Patrick Lorio - Golf Course Superintendents Association of America

Long Island Headshot Photographers

When I met Patrick, the Head Manager of Turf at the Engineers Country Club, I asked him to show me his favorite spots on the course. In his headshot photos I wanted to capture what makes the course, the grounds, and it’s facilities unique. So, we took two golf carts out and drove around for a bit. As we drove, Patrick proved to be super informative and passionate about his role at the Roslyn Harbor, NY country club and about Long Island’s unique geography.

The best headshot photo is one that shows you as you. This photo will work as your LinkedIn photo, email signature photo, and as an all around identity.

“From the top of the 15th hole you can see the NYC skyline faintly in the distance. At night when it’s clearer the whole city looks amazing from up here”, he explained. Patrick also told me just how unique Long Island’s North Shore golf courses are in comparison to the rest of the country. Long Island courses naturally feature dramatic hills, terrific soil conditions, and shady tall trees. In comparison, when building a golf course elsewhere hills have to be made, trees have to be planted, and soil has to be developed.

So, how did the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America find this Long Island photographer? I’m certainly no expert of “country club club turf management”. The answer is simple, S.E.O. I’ve been working on pushing relevant and geotagged content to blogs and pages on my website.

Douglaston Manor - Kevin Wolfe Architecture

It’s always a change of pace photographing interiors for an architect and an interior designer. In just an 8-10 hour day I might only photograph 6 rooms and walk away with 250 photos. Those 250 photos will then will be culled, edited, and delivered as 40 finished images. When photographing interiors each room must be meticulously staged with chairs, blankets, flowers, books, and whatever else you’d find in a home. Photographing interiors is a complete 180 from my usual university work, which is fast paced do to time constraints.

On this particular shoot, the homeowner was not living in the home and it was empty of furniture. Pam, our interior designer / stager, brought in all of the furniture, books, lights, plates, blankets, and whatever else you see in the above images. Our ability to work as a team proved vital to capturing vignettes of the home in just one day. As Kevin and Pam staged one room I’d shoot the room they previously built. Then, I’d move on to the next room and they would deconstruct the previous room, moving some of those props to the room I’d later photograph.

Kayla + Matt - Gatsby On The Ocean Wedding

Perfect. September 7th, 2019 was a perfect day for Kayla and Matty’s wedding with cool temperatures, a nice ocean breeze, and good spirits all around. Long Island’s newest wedding venue and event space, Gatsby on the Ocean at Jones Beach made the perfect backdrop to their wedding day.

Photographing a new long island wedding venue is an amazing experience.

,

America’s VetDogs held their 8th Annual VetDogs Golf Classic on Monday, August 26, at the Huntington Country Club in Huntington, NY. This event raises additional funds to cover the costs to train and place the special dogs that are needed to help veterans return to a life of ease and independence.

Long Island Golf Fundraiser Event Photographer

The golf portion of the day began at 11 a.m. with the national anthem and a visit from Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. The golf match consisted of foursomes competing for several hole-in-one prizes. One of the hole-in-one prizes was for a brand new 2019 Jeep Gladiator pickup truck. Later in the day, golfers and guests enjoyed a post-tournament cocktail hour, followed by dinner with a live auction and raffles.

Throughout the day several veterans and their dogs toured the course to meet their fans.

This Long Island Event Photographer loves photographing a Golf Fundraisers both here on Long Island and throughout NY!

Event photographers, especially Jonathan Heisler Photography, loves photographing happy events. Today’s charity golf fundraiser checked all of the boxes. When photographing the day, I made sure to tell the story of the event.

City Hall Wedding - Katia + Joe

I love photographing simple weddings and a New York City Hall wedding is my definition of “simple wedding.” Katia and Joe made the jump on Friday August 23, 2019 in downtown Manhattan at City Hall. Post ceremony, we met for family photos and a private couples’ session in Lower Manhattan. Our shoot incorporated the hustle and bustle of the big city, and the contrasting calmness of it’s parks. This was definitely a nice break from the country club and catering hall weddings I often photograph.
