5 Things that Happen when you Hire a Brooklyn Photographer 

Leave a comment

1. You’re gonna see some cool locations! 


I know my neighborhood well. But I’m always exploring new ones. My favorite places to shoot are Coney Island, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Central Park. I spend a few days each month scouting new spots. Wanna see where the Beastie Boys took photos with Glen E. Friedman? Or How about we head into TriBeCa and you get Wedding photos in front of the firehouse from Ghostbusters? One thing’s for sure I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve.

2. Your photos are gonna look unique. 


I spend a lot of time researching trends of the industry. I prefer to avoid most of them. Some ideas, though, are timeless and I include those into my style. I believe a great photographer never stops learning. In this industry, you really have to sample it all, take what you love and make it a part of you.

3. You’re gonna laugh. No seriously!


One thing is for certain. You and I are gonna have a good time. I love doing this. It’s not just a job. It’s who I am. We’re gonna joke and we’re gonna laugh. There’s gonna be awkward moments, we’re gonna laugh about those too. Who would you rather spend the last few hours of your single life with? Some uptight “been in this business for decades” wedding professional… OR This Guy (I’m pointing at myself)! I’ll do the dang Curly Shuffle if it means putting a smile on your face.

4. We’re all gonna dance. 


I think it’s weird if I’m the only one not moving on the dance floor. I don’t like to call people “square” (seriously that’s just a strange thing to call a person, it’s 2015) but if you won’t dance at a wedding then you are a square. I don’t wanna be the square at your wedding. I love to dance. While you’re at it put Footloose on your Wedding Day Playlist, if you’re having a band play, make sure they know it. Neutron Dance by the Pointer Sisters is pretty great too!

5. You’re gonna have a new friend.


We just spent a whole day together. It was intense! Chances are you cried, chances are I did too. We definitely laughed. We danced, we explored. We both did that wide eyed “I know right!” look when your uncle started breakdancing. How could we not be friends?

There’s a reason folks get married with me then call me up a little later for pregnancy/baby pics and then see me for family photos. I become part of the family. If I grew up with you, chances are I already am. Maybe I’ll stop by on Thanksgiving after dinner for dessert!

Seriously, though this sounds awesome right? Well There’s no time like right now to contact me for a quote. I promise I’m super friendly.

LOOK WHO PLANESWALKED IN—THALIA DOROTHY SCHWARTZ

Leave a comment

Friday Afternoon, I met up with Tyler and Jessica, brand new first time parents. I know Tyler through playing Magic: The Gathering and we also share a love for Hearthstone. You could say Tyler is a professional gamer. He runs a company called Chess at 3. They teach your children to play chess. Pretty rad actually, I’d venture that most of his younger students (they start at 3!) could beat me without much effort. It’s really neat stuff.

So like I said, I met with them Friday afternoon. Tyler’s parents let me in and I got a shot or two with Gramma and Thalia. Jessica gave Thalia a change and while we waited I helped Tyler with a solo mission in Hearthstone he was having trouble with. So it was a totally solid use of time!

Thalia is only a month old so I wanted to make this shoot as non-intensive as possible for her sake. She was a total ham for the camera! Light began to fade in the apartment and Jessica suggested we take a stroll over to Washington Square Park for shoots. I was, of course all in, as golden hour was just taking hold. Edie, the family dog, came along too.

I have to say I’m really please with how this session turned out. Thalia was pretty interactive, she was definitely interested in what I was doing with the camera. The light was excellent. Check out those catchlights!

“If You Start Me Up!”….

Leave a comment

…Just like the Rolling Stones said “If you start me up I’ll never stop.”  I’ve been waiting about a year to start a blog for my wedding photography.  If you’ve read my other blogs, you know that I like to get right into the thick of the scene and produce a story to show you what it was like to be there.  I guess you could say I’m trying to help you live vicariously through my lens.  I’ve been having a blast doing it at rock shows so now I want to bring that momentum and enthusiasm over to the wedding arena.

My angle is simple: I’m New York’s Rock N’ Roll Wedding Photographer. Each week I’ll recap a previous wedding and give you a top ten photos.  I’ll tell you what it was like for me as an outsider looking in, and we’ll just see where it goes from there. I think you can dig it.  So here’s to romance, good music and a gathering of old and new friends!
