Quinceañera and Sweet Sixteen Photography

Whether parents choose to celebrate our traditional Spanish Quinceañera or combine our traditions with the United States Sweet Sixteen theme, it is always a delight to be a part of these events.  As a professional photographer, I truly enjoy every moment of the celebration.  I feel honored to be the person capturing these unforgettable moments in photographs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Quinceañera symbolizes the passage of our young girls into womanhood.  Our daughters are now becoming young women with more responsibilities.  It’s such a special celebration.  I must admit that I occasionally still get teary while taking the pictures throughout the celebration.  I capture the sentiment of each moment from the religious ceremony to the father-daughter dance, change of shoes , special toast, candle ceremony, and much more.

Call us at Suheil Artistic to learn more about the special Quinceañera/Sweet Sixteen Packages available.  Choose us to ensure this special celebration is memorable!

Professional Wedding Photographer

There are a few specific criteria you cannot overlook when hiring your wedding photographer.  Besides having technical knowledge and experience, your photographer must have excellent interpersonal skills.  It doesn’t matter how much one knows about photography if one cannot make the client feel comfortable.  The last thing you need is to feel tense while working with your photographer on your wedding day.

A professional photographer must have (at a minimum):

  • Experience and technical knowledge
  • Personality
  • Customer Service Skills
  • Presence (professional attire)
  • Insurance
  • Back up equipment
  • A contract specifying services to be provided

Bride’s Must Have Photos

Wedding Photography is one of the most important components of your wedding day.  It’s not recommended to rely on friends and family to capture the wedding photos as they lack knowledge with lightning techniques and experience, and will not be able to deliver the results you expect from this special day. Brides and Grooms aim to book your Wedding Photography Services at least 6 to 18 months in advance.

At Suheil Artistic we seek to understand your budget and design a package that you will be satisfied with.  We take the time to listen to your needs and set the expectations so there are no surprises.  We have the perfect combination of Quality, Creativity and Affordability.

Easter Baby Photo Session 3-24-12

Baby photo sessions are lots of fun.  At Suheil Artistic, we encourage parents to get involved in the session and they are free to bring their own props.  If they have a special teddy bear or any item of sentimental value that they would like to incorporate in the photo session, we welcome it so don’t be shy.

Newborn babies are a little unpredictable, so parents please do not be upset if your child falls asleep or if the baby is a little fuzzy at his first photo session.  It is our job as professional photographers to work with these situations; we can still take beautiful pictures of your baby as a sleepy little angel.  We do recommend that you make sure the baby is fed and rested before coming to the studio.

Pregnancy Photoshoots – when is the right time?

It’s recommended to schedule your Pregnancy Photoshoot a month or two before your due date.    This is the best time to capture maternity shots.  “It’s your time to show off that baby bump”.  Don’t hold back – Mommy to be.  Let’s get you and hubby in the studio before you run out of time.

Call us at 201-866-0959 to book your appointment.

 

Why Hire a Professional Photographer for my Sweet Sixteen / Quinceanera?

Professional Photography is the best way to capture the memories of your Sweet Sixteen.  This is such an important event and requires so much planning that not hiring a professional photographer would be a big mistake.  Parents spend so much time, money and effort looking for the right venue, dresses, flowers, invitations, limousines, entertainment, and an endless list of other details that not hiring a photographer simply would not make sense.

Sometimes I have clients tell me that a friend of the family will take the photos for the day, and my argument is that only Experience, Equipment, and Skill combined can deliver the professional quality photos their daughters can treasure and share with future generations.  Is it worth risking not having beautiful professional images and having regrets?

When booking your photographer it’s very important to find one that at a minimum meets the following criteria:    

  • Experienced
  • Nice Personality (after all, you will spend a whole day with this individual so you might as well find someone personable so you feel comfortable)
  • Style (look at their work and make sure you like their style)

 

Small Photography Budget? Come and talk to us.

At Suheil Artistic we think of the brides and grooms that do not have a budget for photography, but still want some nice pictures of their wedding without having to pay $5,000+.  We think of those very young couples that are just starting out, and those that unfortunately, cannot rely on their parents to pay for their wedding.  This is the reason we have designed Economy Wedding Photography & Video Packages to service couples that have limited budgets.  It is our philosophy that every bride deserves photos that will capture the memories of such an important event, and it’s our duty to offer options to meet all of our potential clients’ needs.  Amazingly, our Economy Photo & Video Package is pretty robust; you will receive a full day of service, a gorgeous album, fully edited videos, and much more!

In our studio, the bride and groom can choose from our selection of economic and higher end offerings depending on their budget.  It is our job to help our clients stay within their budget without compromising quality and great customer service.

 

No need to stress about incurring debt before the wedding on ridiculously expensive photography services.  We will work with you to reach your goal.
