Wedding Photography to Avoid

With wedding photography, as with many things in life, it’s just as important to know what NOT to shoot, as it is to know what should be photographed.  Below are a few examples, courtesy of The Huffington Post, which hilariously illustrate the type of photography you DON’T want on your wedding day.

Every wedding shoot will have a few “not meant for prime time” photos.  Here at 5th Avenue Digital, we carefully review your images and edit those shots that, like the ones below, shouldn’t be seen, and any that are just plain unflattering.  Then we color-correct the good shots, so your final web gallery and DVD of images have hundreds of excellent shots you’ll love and use.

This way, your awful shots won’t even be seen – and won’t end up on some random website for all to laugh at.  But that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun with these unfortunate photos!

Who Knew our YouBooth, Photo Booth is Such a Fun Factory??

Last night I attended the second anniversary party for La Venue, a fabulously versatile turn-of-the-century event space in West Chelsea, and was doubly delighted – and doubly surprised.  The first surprising delight was La Venue’s space: the old hardwood floors are gorgeous, and while the space is vast, it allows for sectioning off so smaller intimate spaces can be created.

The second surprise and real delight was seeing our YouBooth in action.  We tested our new photo booth extensively during its development, so I’ve seen what it can do.  We’ve already contracted YouBooth for a number of events, and I’ve seen the photos and videos from those events.  But that’s nothing like witnessing for myself how people interact with YouBooth!  Seeing YouBooth at an actual event really opened my eyes to its entertainment value.

Pets Steal the Show, and the Event Photographs!

We all know that animals, particularly our pets, are naturally ideal photography subjects.  Under the aegis of a patient professional photographer, animal photos can be particularly striking and evocative.  That’s why we were so excited to cover event photography at the NYC Pet Show on May 22nd and 23rd at the Metropolitan Pavilion.

Organized by CCK Global Events, in partnership with the American Pet Products Association, the NYC Pet Show was created to address the needs and interests of city-dwelling pet owners.  With appearances by the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan, and other pet-centric celebrities, plus presentations from industry experts on topics such as where to travel with your pet this summer, the show featured products and services to help enhance owner/pet relationships.

Because this was the first year for the NYC Pet Show, CCK Global Events, a full-service event sales, production and marketing company, decided it was important to document the presentations, exhibitors and attendees with event photography.  5th Avenue Digital photographers were on hand both days to capture all the unpredictable antics that animals create – especially pets with their fanatical owners.
