My New York City Engagement Session...

[KJImages]

Jennifer and Jeff flew me to New York City to take their engagement photos last week and I had a blast! It was my first time to shoot in the city, so I thought I would share a few...

I have just finihsed looking at your website......all I can say is you are an inspiration to someone such as myself. Your use of composition, perspective and having the ability to use what is around you to enhance your shots is amazing. I will be learning from your site for a long time to come....thank you Val.

[Rahul]

Totally off topic, the groom reminds me a lot of Will Smith! :-P

[dweikum]

Wow, nice work! :)

[Seanzky]

Wow, you did a really good job in all of them. I think I was out in Time Square that night taking pictures also. The ads looks exactly the same. Haha.

[verdantsound]

Wow, and to think I live in the city and I don't know about these places! You have some really amazing shots there! If only I knew the apertures and the other exif data on these (wondering if magic drainpipe can do these types of things)...

[Canadian Techdiver]

Beautiful series...love them all.. nice work...wow.


for the two pictures where you have one person in focus in the forground and the second person back in the Bokeh....what f/stop did you shoot at. Or did you PP that image that way.

[Eliza_Day]

Very inspiring!

[ricblackett]

[grego]

Nice stuff. Good vivid colors. You have a very nice eye as evident here and on your website/blog. Although this image (left side) stuck out on your blog:

http://www.thekjblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/a0022.jpg

Looks out of focus/very soft.

[KJImages]

Thanks again for all the kind words everyone! Thanks for catching that Grego, I think I screwed up when I resized it for web.

Sorry for the delayed response guys, but WPPI stuff has been keeping me busy lately...

Ocalexoc, I mainly used my 16-35 and 70-200 for the session. Any shot in particular you want to know about?

Alt1mate, I used a video light and my 16-35.

Thanks!

Kevin

I agree with samurairx7, #5 is awesome!

[RLJSlick]

Very well done, New York is a very exciting city!

[paraau]

can you tell me what your settings were for the beam of light photo? and how far were you from the couple? did you use your flash at all?

[Severine]

Simply beautiful! I wish my wedding photographer was half as talented as you are!

[mattograph]

Very impressive for a first time visitor. You grabbed some awesome locations.

[phuong tran]

wow, these pictures you took looks absolutely amazing!!!

[howaboutnow]

These are simply lovely!!! LOVE the colors.

[elisesanchez]

This is a beautiful series. I wonder how much direction you had to give this couple for posing. It seems like it came natural to them.

[NYC2BGI]

Those were some of the best shots that i have seen in a long time. I live here in NYC and was totally impressed with the way that you photgraphed the couple using our great city as a backdrop.
