Another Great Wedding!

First of all, congratulations again to the bride & groom, the newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. Braswell, who are now enjoying their honeymoon!

Friday, June 10th was a great day for wedding, and the weather was perfect (a little humid for me, but no rain!).  Held at Glen Terrace, Brooklyn, NY; I arrived early as usual to check things out, talk to the maître d’ & staff, test the camera gear and take some shots at the venue. To my surprise, the bride and her party were already downstairs in the bridal suite getting ready. WIN!  The guys started arriving shortly after I did. ANOTHER WIN!

The ceremony was quick, as they always are, but at the end of this ceremony, the couple literally “jumped the broom”!!  Then it was on to the cocktail hour, and the reception…which was epic! Kudos to the DJ!  The music was great, the food was good, and the drinks were flowing for all.  All were dressed nicely and I know everyone had a great time!

I met a few people, did a little networking, and hopefully another wedding assignment will come out of it! :)   I’ll be back at Glen Terrace for another wedding on July 10th. This is a first…two weddings, at the same venue, one month apart!!

From a photography aspect, this was one of the easier assignments, and I feel that I’ve captured their day candidly (plus the posey formal shots lol). I’m looking forward to spending some time in my “editing booth” (aka Photoshop & LightRoom) to bring out the best of the photos, and to tell the story of their day.  As I say to everyone else, if someone could not attend a/the wedding, one must be able to look at your photos and feel as if they were actually there!  There lies the challenge.

Photos from this wedding to come soon. Will post a shot or three here, but they will be posted on MichaelGAbraham.com.



Gearing Up!! [Wedding]

I’m gearing up for a wedding today, well later this afternoon! It has been a few months since my last wedding photography assignment, but I am always ready to shoot and get the job done.  I’ve been prepping, checking, and rechecking the camera gear, skimming through a few wedding photography books and photos for additional inspiration, and well, checking and rechecking the gear :) .

Photos will be posted on my official website: www.michaelgabraham.com, but until then, feel free to visit and check out some of my work!

My Daughter (Random)

Random shot taken today as we were walking back from the park. Just observing her as she walked while I held her scooter and helmet.

How times flies! It’s unbelievable…

Clouds, Fun Stuff!

Clouds TEST.2, originally uploaded by agmnewyorkphoto.

Another short one here, same music, didn’t feel like searching for another track. This was made with 500 photos with the camera facing out my living room window.  I can honestly say that this is fun, lots of fun! Whenever I master this and make some sort of video compilation, it will be a HUGE accomplishment!  I can simply say that I’ve done it and pat myself on the back.

Learning is a continuous process.

Nerd out! :-)

Old Trusty Watch Motion

My first attempt at this and I’m sure I’ll do more..pretty cool stuff! (oh there’s a snippet of music, so turn your volume down)

I was inspired by this stunning video [below] that I viewed a number of times yesterday, and I’m sure you will too!! Of course my 30 second watch clip has NOTHING ON THIS VID. Breathtaking!!

Updates

I haven’t updated the blog for about a month, but it’s all good. Okay, let’s see here…

1) I was recently booked to shoot a wedding in July (and it’s in Brooklyn)…YAY! :-D
(I’ve been receiving inquiries here and there, but not all pan out, especially folks looking for “discounts”)

2) Some shoots continue to be postponed/rescheduled…it’s life, I’m definitely not complaining.

3) In early April, I did a quick shoot for some friends:

Well that’s all folks, for now at least. I have not been shooting much, but I expect this to change as the weather changes and warms up a bit, and I regain my mojo to do some casual shooting.

Andrea & Ezra’s Engagement Party

Here are some photos from the event that took place on March 26th in Brooklyn, New York at Two Steps Down.


Maleeah’s First Birthday Party!

My friend Ashlee had a little birthday party for her daughter on Saturday, March 12th at a nice spot in Harlem, New York, NY.  Lots of family and friends came, and lots of kids.  I was armed with my camera for the festivities.

Stuyvesant Heights Christian Church

In Late February, I was asked to shoot in and around the church for an upcoming showcase event.  If I recall correctly, these photos will be used at an event to attract potential couples to have their wedding at a venue/church of their choice.  The pastor of this church and his wife printed 12 8×10′s and 1 16×20″. Here are a few of those photos:
