I’m back :)

Posted in Uncategorized on May 7, 2009 by ahmetze

I have been away from my blog for awhile. I have kept myself busy with a few projects, such as studio space, a new logo, business cards, a new website, and a few other goodies. I am going to be honest with you, it’s actually an excuse when I say I was busy and couldn’t write anything on my blog. Writing is a skill that I don’t possess, which allows me to appreciate those who can elaborate on any thought that comes to their mind. If I had this talent I would have been able to write more posts here, and that’s the truth =]

I had the honor to witness a proposal. It was for my friend, Vanessa. Her fiancee, Rob, contacted me before the proposal and asked me if I could snap a few images of the memorable moment. I’ve never had such an experience before so I just went for it. Well I don’t need to say much. Just check out this video

Vanessa and Rob, congratulations again for the engagement and I’m looking forward to your wedding. I’m shooting this wedding with Kenny Kim and Thomas Flint. They are two great talents, this wedding is going to RoCk!!! (Oh I didn’t mentioned this, Vanessa is a wedding photographer and Rob is a wedding videographer. I thinks that is so awesome!!)

As I mentioned before, I’ve been working on my studio space. I don’t mean the studio with lights and backdrops, it’s more of a presentation room, a lounge, a hang out place. I want my brides,grooms, photographers and friends to come and hang….The Starbucks model of photography. I’m still working on it but here you could see some images. Rich, thanks so much dude for all of your help.

Before I end this post, I’d like to add some images from my last wedding of Aimee and Marty. Many thanks to my second photographer, Rich Schaub, for his talent and help.

Little things,

Teri and Jim, sweetness

Posted in e-session on September 23, 2008 by ahmetze

Last week I had a great time shooting Teri and Jim for their engagement session. They are both very sweet. I remember when Teri first sent me an email inquiry, I could just see how excited she was. This really boosts me up and gets me excited!! I was looking forward to meeting them for the e-session. We had two awesome locations: Spring Lake and Hoboken, both in NJ. At the first location,Spring Lake, the sun was too bright and I couldn’t really see on the screen of my camera how my exposure was. It helped that I had experience shooting with film where you can’t see the images right on the back of the camera. It was kind of like I was shooting blind, but I had a good idea of how my images would come out. My eye was locked on them, because I wanted to bring out the chemistry they had right in front of me. Hoboken was awesome as well. Many people didn’t recognize the pictures as being taken in Hoboken,or even the US. It was great! Love was all around them! I can’t wait for their wedding day. I can already picture how it will be :)

here are some of the shots, click here to see them all

after all when I get an email like this, it makes me just love wedding photography even more, it’s such a feeling that i can’t explain.

I haven’t been here a while, the season is starting and this month i’m having lots of meeting with new brides. It is very exciting to meet and hear their love story, it pumps me up :) This month I’m also trying my new business cards, I wanted to create something that syncrhonizes with my work, something unique. For the ones that don’t have one yet, here is a picture for you :)
