Photographing a Charity Golf Outing at Ferry Point NYC

As a Professional Event Photographer based in New York City I get to photograph events of all types. There are galas at the Museum of Natural History under giant whales, employee appreciation days surrounded by jumbo jets in an airplane hanger at JFK, and on, and on, and on. These assignments are at some very unique locations/ venues, with views that are just unmatched. These NYC views are exlusive and just inaccessible to most. Today, I photographed a charity golf outing at Bally's Golf Links at Ferry Point between the Throgs Neck Bridge and White Stone Bridge.

As a charity golf fundraiser photographer I have a multitude of stories to tell. There is branding that has to be photographed throughout the venue, VIP guests and regular guests mingling on and off the golf course, and finally, at the end of the day there is the dinner part. At the dinner, there are often awards, raffles, and key group photos that needed to be captured. It’s a long day photographing a golf outing, but it’s a fun day.

Steven's Model Boat Sailing Pond Proposal

What’s so unique about the Model Boat pond in Central Park is how intimate and quiet this not so hidden NYC gem is. While the tourists flock to Bethesda Fountain, the Bow Bridge, and the Gapstow Bridge from the South, the Model Boat Pond not so much. Located on Manhattan’s Upper East Side (72nd street) this Central Park location is one of my favorite places to capture a surprise marriage proposal.

Port Washington Long Island Engagement Photographer - Josh & Sydney

Capturing Josh and Sydney’s engagement session in Port Washington, NY was a real throwback for me. I grew up on the North Shore of Long Island and I went to high school with Josh’s sister many years ago. To see how much Josh has grown up and how much the Port Washington waterfront has changed is remarkable. The couple chose Port Washington for their engagement photos not only for the view, but for it’s sentimental location. Just down the road is their favorite pizza shop, Salvatores.

Patrick's Long Island City Engagement Session at Sunset

The Long Island City waterfront captures New York City perfectly with its iconic New York City views; Empire State Building, 59th street bridge, the UN and our famous NYC Sunset/Sunrises. However, what I like most about photographing in Long Island City and Gantry Plaza State Park is how private and intimate this area is when compared to other parts of New York City. Luckily the tourists haven’t figured this out yet!

Tonight’s engagement session with Patrick and Sam during golden hour could not have been any better.

Jared's Surprise Proposal at Pebble Bar

At the corner of Sixth Avenue and 49th Street, a slate-gray, four-story brick townhouse is nestled among towering buildings, like a pebble surrounded by boulders. Constructed in the 1870s, the house has witnessed more than 150 years of New York City history. A bar, in a variety of forms, has occupied the ground floor for nearly as long. And, at the beginning of February 2020, a new spot, Pebble Bar, continued the tradition and started a new tradition for Jared and Hannah.
