The $200 Print credit that comes in your package can be used for ordering smaller lose prints or for Wall Art. If you would like to purchase prints right off of our website, we can issue you a code that you input in your shopping cart and our professional photo lab will auto fill the order directly to you. The good part about that is that it will come in a few days after placing the order. Always check the crop you are ordering because it is so automatic that no human is checking that for you.
We recommend that you use the print credit to have us make a custom large print or prints for your wall. When having us custom make a print for you, let us know which image or images you are interested in using.

Daniella & Dan chose Garrison Landing in Garrison, NY as their location for their Engagement Portrait Session. Despite working in the Hudson Valley for over 8 years this was our first time there. We always love when people show us new & exciting places to take photos of our couples. Daniel grew up in Garrison & the couple spends most of their summer weekends there relaxing on the family boat. Enjoy looking at their winter wonderland engagement pictures…

First Look Wedding Photos: Peekskill Train Station - Hudson Valley, New York
Dacia & Chris had there First Look Photos at the Peekskill Train Station in Hudson Valley, New York. Typically Wedding Reception Venues in the Hudson Valley will allow for a half hour Ceremony, one hour cocktail hour and four hour reception. Because this is only Five and a half hours, a way to maximize time with guests is to do the majority of the photos before the Ceremony.
First Look Photos are a great thing to consider doing when a couple is having their Ceremony & Reception at the same Location. Couples will sacrifice nothing when we arrange their "First Look" to be a special moment when they see each other and capture those beautiful expressions of surprise when they see one another. Dacia & Chris chose this location because it has special meaning to them. We love being able to incorporate personal meaning into the photographs.

A black and white image at Locust Grove. I don't usually turn a lot of Locust Grove images to Black and white, but in this case it seemed like it was meant to be. This is one of my favorite wedding venues in the Hudson Valley.

Here are Theresa and her Bridesmaids at The Garrison. It was a bright beautiful summer day in June and I feel like I was there when I look at this image and others from Theresa's wedding. Your wedding day happens fast, so savor every minute of it. Hopefully you'll remember some of the days sensations when you look at your wedding photos.

Here are Tom and his guys at the Lippincott Manor. This is one of my favorite groom portraits from last year. The sun is right behind the guys just out of the image and lighting up the field. I didn't want a silhouette, so we used a few off camera strobes to catch up to the sun.

Capturing a person's genuine smile in a photo is important because it presents their best self. That crinkle around the eye or or that glint of light & life communicates volumes about who that person is. Here is a very interesting talk given by Ron Gutman on the Hidden power of smiling:
-Allan Levine is a Hudson Valley, NY Photograper that specializes in Weddings & Portraiture. Located in Dutchess County, NY he serves the Tri-State area and beyond.

We enhanced some nice window light with some light of our own and got this great image of Sheree on her day. We'll do some with the Bridal Bouquet as well.
We also got great image of Dori's hair and veil.
You may ask why we're into the hair and beauty stuff a bit more than other photographers. Well we don't just shoot hair and beauty at weddings.
Sarah Archambault did this hair and makeup (above)
Sarah did the color on this one and Salvatore Boss did the Style and Makeup (Below)
Debra McGarvey of Debra M Salon did the next two (Below)
We wouldn't want to work tethered to a computer with all this equipment and with all of these people at your wedding, but we manage to get it done without them.
Brianna had looks on her day. Here are a few more of her.
Christine was also great. I think I was the first Human to ever ask her for her "mirror face".
Theresa Had this classic Bird Cage Veil that was begging for a few vintage Glam shots to be thrown in along with some more up to date looks.
These Hair and beauty/Glam Shots take us less than 5 minutes to accomplish at most weddings, require a lot less editing than a lot of professionals might think; They look like this in the camera. Two more commercial images just for fun...
and
Sarah Archambault did the Hair and Makeup, but I think that's Salvatore Boss's hand on the right pitching in.
Hope to add another topic really soon and thanks

Just having images of everyone looking at each other doesn't replace this. Another reason portraiture is important is that life moves fast.
How often will all of your friends be able to get together like this? What will this be worth in 10 years? What about the guys? How often to they put on a "Tux"?
If you're going to wear a Tux, you might want to try to pose for a Photo. Come to think of it, If you're going to marry a handsome guy or a beautiful girl, you might want a dreamy fine art black & white portrait that you happen to be in.
You might also like to thank everyone by sending them a photo of yourselves gazing at them as though you're with them.
Allan
Photojournalism usually means documentary images that tell a story. Black & White is a good medium for telling a story, but color Photojournalism has its place too.
While some couples say they place more importance on Photojournalism, they almost always want Portraiture as well and choose a lot of portraiture for their albums. Couples who say they value the Portraits more do the same; They choose a lot of Photojournalism. We're happy to emphasize either, but our experience has been that couples and families are happiest when they have a combination of both.
I'll add a Portrait and a Details post soon.

The 2012 Wedding Season is about to get started & we are so looking forward to the year ahead! Being Hudson Valley Wedding Photographers we have some of the country's most beautiful landscape available to us & we love to incorporate that in our photographs. We photographed Briana & Tom's Engagement Portrait Session at Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park.
Brianna and Tom were so much fun to work with. This was one of the first shots we took, but they were already connecting and having fun. That's something that's key to getting nice images.
