Covid-19 Update for Weddings, Events & Photobooths

COVID-19 UPDATE

WEDDINGS & EVENTS

It’s hard for me to write this. This was supposed to be your year, and it can still be. If your wedding or event has to be postponed or rescheduled due to State/City mandates as a precaution against the coronavirus, please note that I have updated my rescheduling and transferring policies.

For rescheduled weddings, the non-refundable retainer paid, and any monies thereafter paid, can and will be transferred over to your new date so long as I have the availability. Communication is key, so please keep me informed of all changes to your wedding and any rescheduling. I’m here for you and will try to accommodate your new wedding date. It’s imperative that you communicate with me about your new date, or have me in the same call as your vendors, because I want to make sure you do not lose your non-refundable retainer by choosing a date I am not available or cancelling all-together. We can also hop on a call to make sure you and your guest stay safe, as well as my team remain safe, for your wedding. If you’re still undecided about rescheduling, still let me know. I know this is a trying time for you and we’re all dependent on the day to day updates from our State.

For safety reasons, and until further notice, my team and I will be wearing masks and/or social distancing from clients and all guests. We can also go over any additional methods of safety including my team always sanitizing hands after handling any detail shots requested (gown, jewelry, invitations, etc).

Remember, you can call or email me. If you want to just chat, or talk things through, I am here for you!

PHOTOBOOTH

For all photobooth bookings for the rest of 2020, or until further notice, again, please know the health and safety of you and your guest and my team are my priority as I closely monitor the State and City mandates regarding the Coronavirus.

Beginning May 1, 2020, the following changes have been made:

  • My team will wear masks and gloves at all events.

  • My team will be the only people to touch the photobooth, screen and kiosk. Guests will social distance 6 feet from the booth at all times. Lines will also social distance and guests waiting will stand 6 feet apart.

  • My team will not pick up prints for guests. Guests can pick up prints directly from the printer.

  • Guests will assemble DIY guestbooks, not anyone from my team.

  • No props will be available or provided by our team until further notice.

PORTRAITS

All portraits, when the State/City lifts any mandates, will be done outdoors. Any locations that require a permit will still be the Client’s responsibility to acquire. All parties will follow social distancing guidelines.

Please note, because newborn photos are done indoors at the family’s home, I’m only booking newborn sessions for 2021. However, I can provide virtual coaching for digital composites. Contact me to find out more.

How to Create Your Wedding Day Timeline - New York City Wedding Photographer Angelica Criscuolo Photography

How to create a wedding day photography timeline whether you’re in New York, New Jersey, a Destination Wedding, and having a first look, or no first look. Here’s a guide to help you! If you’re getting married in the city, or in the country, you still need to consider travel time, how long to take photos of entire bridal party, how much time to account for family photos of 10 or 50.

When I first sat down with Lara and David, I knew they were my perfect couple to photograph. They are funny, have great personalities, candid, and very sweet. The way they spoke about their family and their friends really gave the sense that the people they surround themselves with are important to them. Of course, as a photographer, it became important to me to not only capture their wedding portraits, ceremony and reception at The Royalton Properties in Long Island New York, but also capture their family and friends who have come to witness their special day.

The first time I photographed Lara and David it was a very hot summer day. It was over three digits in New York City in Union Square, and yet, the groom never broke a sweat. The bride as well, and you wouldn’t know it was hot and humid outside. The two of them made it such a breeze for their engagement session, that it was equally a step in the park for their wedding. The colors, decorations, dresses/suits they chose, all was perfect to depict a very romantic day. These two Harry Potter fans also wanted to get some photos with their wands, so incorporating their personalities is always fun! I really wish these two love birds all the best. They deserve a lot of happiness, and I thank them for giving me the honor of capturing their beautiful wedding.

Jericho Terrace - Long Island New York Wedding Photography

Westbury-Gardens-New-York-Wedding-Photography

I finally get to sit and blog this fun and amazing wedding photos at Jericho Terrace in Mineola, New York! Let’s meet our couple. Angela and Angel met at a library they both worked in. They started getting to know one another, and then had their first date the day after Halloween! Years together, they realized they had so many things in common that they find they think about the same things…pretty much at the same time. These two are meant to be and Angel planned a surprise proposal in Niagara Falls. Angela had no idea something was going on, but once they arrived, had dinner, they started exploring. Angel at one point wanted to get closer to the falls, but had to tie his shoes. Angela wanted to take photos, and when she turned around he was down on his knees with the ring

For their wedding they wanted something fun, classic, that looks romantic and still a little modern. For their first look and bridal party portraits, we headed to the beautiful Westbury Gardens in Long Island New York. It was a gray day, but we managed to make the photos look dramatic and sunny using in-camera magic! Their ceremony and reception was held inside Jericho Terrace Skylight Terrace room, and everyone looked like they had so much fun. Their entire bridal party was amazing to work with. The bridesmaids wore a deep green gown, and the groomsmen wore gray suits with green accents. I’m so honored to have photographed them, and I wish them all the blessings in the world!
