Beach Shoot with Danae

A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph my friend and former co-worker Danae. I was super happy that she, her friend, and little brother braved the Friday afternoon rush-hour traffic to do a sunset shoot down by the inlet in Manasquan!

Danae and I did a photoshoot back in the fall. We got together to do a great shoot at Rutgers Gardens in New Brunswick. She has an amazing fashion and makeup blog: wearsheis.com. Go check it out!

We had a great time taking photos! Despite the chilly wind, we made the trek all the way out to the end of the jetty and back. She is a real trooper, has great style, and is a beautiful person, inside and out!

April Update

It's been a really busy couple of weeks for me! I've been away from writing and facebook for longer than usual. Granted, it's been super busy at the day job, but I've also been working hard behind the scenes with my photography! But first, let me back track... A couple of years ago, my wife was a bridesmaid in her friend Megan's wedding. They were going to a bridal expo in Philly and she mentioned that it may be a good idea to tag along to meet some wedding photographers and do some networking. After walking around the expo for a little bit, we came across the booth of Caroline Morris ; A young, up and coming wedding photographer. We struck up a conversation. I don't remember much of what she and I talked about, but I remember thinking that she seemed cool and down to earth. We exchanged information and went on our ways. My friend Megan wound up booking Caroline for her wedding in May of 2014. We again got to meet and chat at the wedding and I got to see...

Danae's Boyd Park Shoot

Image
When Danae and I met up last Thursday to do our shoot, I couldn't believe my eyes when I pulled up next to her car. I looked over and saw a sea of long pastel green hair! Danae is a fashion and makeup blogger. We've known each other for several years having been coworkers at my last job. We've kept in touch since then and have done photo shoots together on several occasions. It's been really cool seeing the progression in her style choices as well as her comfortability behind the camera. Similarly, my skills as a portrait photographer have increased drastically since our first shoot.  For this shoot, we decided to meet at Boyd Park in New Brunswick which runs along the Raritan River. I had never been there before but when I arrived, I knew this would be a great place to shoot with lots of awesome backdrops and cool colors and textures.  Not to mention that Danae absolutely brought it with her hair, fierce looks, and killer outfit! Check her out at: www.w...

Andrew and Josefin's Sweden Wedding | Michael Guccione Photography

Image
I'm in a car with Andrew, Josefin, and Josefin's father, Stanko. We're driving to a beautiful forested spot overlooking the Swedish coast in the town of Stenungsund, about 50 Kilometers north of Gothenburg. It's cloudy, windy, and raining. In a few hours Andrew and Josefin will be married. We are trying to get some portraits done, but the weather is not cooperating. I tell Andrew and Josefin, "I'm going to get as many shots as I can as quickly as I can. I'll try to get you back in the car fast so you don't get cold and wet." We pull up to the spot. We get out of the car and go to it. I pose them in as many positions as I can in 10 minutes. The wind is blowing rain onto my lens which I have to wipe every 10-15 seconds. Andrew and Josefin are great sports and endure the wind and rain with me to get the photos. We all get back in the car and I'm very pleased to have gotten a bunch of quality shots. I take a look at my view finder and ...
