Mary & Joe // Philadelphia Wedding

Posted by miguel on Sep 19, 2011 in Blog, Wedding | 0 comments

Had a great time recently shooting Mary & Joe’s wedding in Philly with my friend Scott. Mary and Joe were all smiles all day. The ceremony was at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, wedding party pictures were taken outside the  Philadelphia Museum of Art and the reception was at the Cescaphe Ballrom in Philadelphia.

Enjoy!
 

Thanks!

Emily & John have been together for 17+ years but by the way they look at each other you would think they are newlyweds.

Thank you Emily & John!

Jessica & Andrew – Engagement in Ambler PA

Posted by miguel on Aug 16, 2011 in Blog, Engagement, Portraits | 1 comment

I have been looking forward to this engagement shoot for a while. Jessica and Andrew are one of those couples that are just fun to be around. You will also get that sense from the pictures below. We started at Andrew’s nursery (he is the owner) and from there we just improvised at other locations since the original location was being demolished a couple of days before the shoot. We also had some uninvited rain but we still decided to push on….

And it was so worth it!

This rain shot was inspired by my neighbor and great singer Tony Hoffer.

Thank you Jessica & Andrew!

Cheers!

Things in the blog have been quiet lately… and that’s because this little guy is robbing all the sleep we need (and we could not be happier!).

Thank you all family and friends for all the cards, gifts and help!

Cheers!

Jess, Ryan & Miguel

p.s. Chuck Anerino was very helpful on how to go about documenting such an day…. check out his new born pics here

One of the perks of helping other photographers (in this case my friend Jim Heine please check his work) is meeting such cool couples like Alyson and Derek.
This was such an enjoyable day with two great families.

Here are just a few of the images of the day. Thank you Jim for letting me tag along.

Beautiful wedding!

Pamela & John are an incredible down-to-earth couple with such a loving family. It was my privilege to be there to witness their wedding. Like their engagement session the wedding day was threatened with rain. Once again we were lucky that the weather cooperated.

Thank you Pamlela & John!

Meryl + Michael – Woodbury NY Wedding Photographer

Location: Crest Hollow Country Club, Woodbury, NY

For me, this wedding was all about Meryl’s eyes.

One of the most enjoyable perks of this job is to see how a bride looks at her groom. There is love, a twinkle that it is unmistakable. I got to witness a lot of it during this awesome wedding.
Shot this with my friend Scott Vuocolo (and yes, after spending 15 hours together shooting this weeding I’m still calling him a good friend). Please check his work here.

Thank you Meryl, Michael and Scott.

Location: Ridley Creek State Park

Saturday was a perfect day to be outside with a fun couple like Pamela & John. Great weather and a great couple (at one point I was literally on the floor laughing), you will be able to tell:

Here is where they first kissed…

Thank you Pamela & John!

Some Testimonials

Posted by miguel on Jan 11, 2011 in The One | 0 comments

So I saw your work first on facebook – and when we were talking about a photographer for the guitar pix thought we should start with someone we kind of know. We loved the guitar pictures. You captured exactly what we were trying to do. When it came time for the wedding, we didn’t talk w any other photographer. We knew you would capture the essence of our wedding. I honestly never thought about the pictures again. I knew you had it under control and our pictures would be fabulous. I wish you could hear the comments every time we show people the pictures from the wedding.

As a bride, the last thing I wanted to worry about on my wedding day was pictures! And working with Miguel Serrano made this possible! In the weeks leading up to the event, Miguel worked with me to develop the shoot list. He even scoped out the venue weeks ahead of time to figure out the lighting and the best places to capture the magical moments on my special day. Miguel was so professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process. Within days of the event, Miguel released some preliminary pictures of the event and I could hardly wait to see more. Even those who do not know me well could get a great sense from these shots of my personality and the emotions that were felt by wedding guests during each moment of the ceremony and reception. He has a real talent with the camera and just made all of the guests feel so relaxed. I highly recommend Miguel Serrano to any bride! He is a top-notch, high quality photographer.

Kara

The best compliment I have for Miguel is the number of compliments we received about our gorgeous pictures! He captured not only our images on print, but the emotion and excitement of everyone involved. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. I can honestly say I never noticed him taking pictures, except for the formal shots, and afterwards when reviewing the images was thrilled with the number and quality of the pictures, and that he included a shot of everyone there (despite me forgetting to ask for this). The picture he took of our rings still makes me pause, as it was such an amazingly creative shot that captured the essence of us. Thank you Miguel!!! I would recommend you to any and everyone

Kea

I would highly recommend Miguel Serrano to anyone interested in having photos taken of their family. He did a great job capturing our boy’s personalities. He is so patient and has a great way with kids. He even returned for a second photo shoot(without us even asking!) because he wanted to get a better shot of our boys together- which he did perfectly!! What customer service!!

Megan

Miguel is fantastic. He really took the time to make my 20 month old comfortable with him so Miguel could take pictures. His energy is endless, and believe me, my child tested Miguel’s energy level!! I would definitely recommend him and will probably use him again, myself!!!
