Thomas's Surprise Pier 45 Manhattan Proposal

Pier 45 on Manhattan’s West side is just West of the quintessential West Village. It’s views are unique compared to the other NYC piers, as it’s slightly more North than Pier 25 (another favorite location), but it has no restaurants on it’s West End. This West Side Pier has a perfect unobstructed view facing South (World Trade Center) and North (Empire State Building and Hudson Yards).

Photographing a NYC Wedding Rehearsal Dinner

,

It's the night before your wedding and your families and closest friends are finally coming together before the big day. Besides being NYC’s most well known proposal photographers, we are also frequently asked by clients to capture their wedding rehearsal dinners as well. I love capturing the night before your wedding day as the most important people come together. As a former wedding photographer, I understand the importance of the moment and why having photographer there is so nice to have.

Photographing a Charity Golf Outing at Ferry Point NYC

,

As a professional NYC event photographer, I recently had the opportunity to document a dynamic and heartfelt charity golf outing at Bally's Golf Links at Ferry Point—a stunning course tucked between the Throgs Neck Bridge and the Whitestone Bridge in the Bronx. With the Manhattan skyline faintly visible in the distance and the East River breeze sweeping across the course, this outing was more than a day on the links—it was a celebration of community, generosity, and purpose.

Spotlighting Event VIPs, Branding, and Sponsors

For every foursome, I captured both posed group portraits at tee boxes and candid moments mid-swing or reading greens. These images not only served as keepsakes for attendees but also as valuable content for the organizers to share on social media, newsletters, and future promotional materials.

A key part of any charity outing is recognizing the sponsors and partners who help bring the event to life. From branded golf carts to banners at the clubhouse and custom tee signs on the course, I focused on highlighting sponsor branding throughout the day. These detail shots provide essential value to the event’s supporters and reinforce the professional execution of the outing. Capturing these visual elements ensures the host organization and its donors receive proper recognition, while showcasing the quality of the event for future fundraising efforts.

Professional Event Photography That Tells a Story

Whether you're planning a corporate golf tournament, a non-profit fundraiser, or a private celebration, professional photography is key to capturing the full story of your event. At venues as visually rich as Bally’s Golf Links at Ferry Point, my goal is always to provide a gallery that reflects both the spirit and success of the day.

If you're organizing a charity outing or corporate event in NYC or the greater Tri-State area, let’s talk about how we can elevate your occasion through storytelling photography that blends candids, branding, and timeless group portraits.

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.
