Adobe CS5 | Content-Aware Fill

Keith — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 17:50:32 +0000

WOW

With all the bad press lately surrounding Adobe and Flash, I was really surprised to see this video of the upcoming Adobe Photoshop CS5. The video, in particular, highlights an exciting new feature for photographers of every type. it is called Content-Aware Fill. It essentially allows you to remove, move or repair items faster and seamlessly.

It is an impressive video. I look forward to seeing this released in the coming weeks.

Long Island Weddings | Matt + Rachelle = ♥

Keith — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:26:32 +0000

Some of our best client so far, Matt + Rachelle are naturals in front of the camera. The rain showers couldn’t put a damper on the occasion. After a thoughtful, personal ceremony in which Rachelle shared a note she wrote for her Husband-to-be years earlier, the party continued at the Fox Hollow Inn.

The band, Heart and Soul , was voted one of the Best Bands on Long Island. They were electric and had the crowd on the dance floor throughout the night. We wish Matt + Rachelle the best and thank them for the opportunity to be part of their special day.

Eric & Danielle

Tyler — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 16:59:26 +0000

The phone rang and it was Danielle letting me know that she and Erik had just gotten engaged. I’ve known Danielle for a bunch years and it was great to catch up with her for a little while. For about half of the 4 years they’ve been together, she and Erik have been doing the long distance thing. Living in two places can be difficult, but as she says, it was God’s peace that kept them striving for each other. She asked if I was free any day that week to take a few photos of the two of them since they would have to return to their separate homes soon. It’s funny getting to photograph people you care about. There is this awesome ability to capture their smiles and know that they are true.

Keith and I are trying something new by asking our couples to tell us a little about themselves. Here’s what Danielle had to say about the journey they’ve taken to get where they are now.

Where did you meet?
We met at Houghton College, upstate NY. Erik played on the mens soccer team and I played on the women’s team. We got introduced to each other during preseason training.

When did you know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with each other?

Well that is a tough question because there is not just ONE moment when I just knew, rather it was more of a “4 year” growing experience with the two of us (which to me was too 3 years too long .

On a serious note over the past four years I have heard several “older” people calling their spouse their “better half.” The closer Erik and I have become the more I believe this is true. He makes me a better person and his strengths compliment my weaknesses perfectly and vice versa. I am amazed everyday that God could bring someone so perfect for me into my life! I really think God granted us both peace over the years showing us that we belonged with each other, otherwise I don’t think we would have survived the past 2 1/2 years long distance.

John & Jodie

The other night I stopped by John’s house. I was so hungry so we thought where else to go then “GC” in Tyler language that stands for Green Cactus ( there website is so bad ) When we got back we were pretty board and decided to mess around with a few strobes. Below are a few photos from that night.

John made me jump in a shot………..

The Chads

Tyler — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 20:11:53 +0000

So when “The Chad” asked me to photograph his family I was super happy. We met them at a park close to their house. I believe it was Lakeland County Park in Islandia. They are a great bunch, super down to earth, and a lot of fun. The whole family was super photogenic. It was great having Ashley there as my assistant. She really works so well with kids. We tried to get her to sing some Gymboree songs, but we had no luck. Check out the photos below and let me know what you think.

Will The Real Keith Wick Please Stand Up

Tyler — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:06:11 +0000

Keith and I don’t get to shoot each other that often so when we have some free time we like to test out new lighting techniques. On the photos below we used a Alien Bee B800 and a Foldable softbox in our studio. Alien Bees are amazing they are priced right and really are work horses. For some reason I am having trouble syncing my Canon 5D with my mac so we spent some time trying to get that to work. On a side note I never really belived all the hype about the high ISO on the new Canons till I bought the 5D and boy was I wrong. I can shoot at 1600 iso and still get a great shot. WOW !!!!!! . Hope things are well

Engagement | Amy & Joe

Keith — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:53:01 +0000

We have been getting biblical rains here on the East Coast the last month and 1/2. Because of this, scheduling engagement shoots has been hard to manage. This was the case with a great couple, Amy & Joe. Joe is an Assistant Chief at a local Fire Department and Amy is an EMT. We were finally able to schedule their engagement shots one week before their wedding.

We love hearing how couples meet. Amy and Joe’s story was no exception. Looking back on their lives, they have so many mutual friends that it was surprising they hadn’t met earlier. But there is a right time for everything…. case in point…

The Schwartz was with us…

We recently had the opportunity to meet up with a friend of ours for a little photo session. His new gangsta rap album is about to drop and we took the time we had to work on some promo shots. Here are a few from our session together. What do you think?

Matt & Rachelle Round 2

Tyler — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:26:43 +0000

What more can we say about this couple. It was a blast to photograph them. We started the day at Fire Island Light House and slowly made our way to the beach. On the way home we saw an abandoned church and decided to get out and take a few shots. I am really glad we stopped because Keith got some amazing TS shots. Their wedding is in October and its going to be a blast. To keep up to date with what we are doing follow us on twitter.
