The Wedding Industry

At Angel Project, we believe that love and marriage are powerful reflections of God's grace and provision. Our team of professional photographers not only possess the skills and experience to capture stunning images but also have a heart for serving all couples. We take a personalized approach to every wedding, taking the time to get to know you and your unique love story, so that we can create images that truly reflect your journey together.

With us, you can trust that your wedding photography will be infused with the spirit of God's love and blessing. Our business model is centered on our dedication to supporting local communities and small businesses. We firmly believe in giving back to those who support us, and through our work, we hope to share the love of Christ and be a blessing to every couple we have the privilege of serving.

We believe that love should never come with a price tag attached. Weddings are significant events, not only for the couples and their families, but also for society as a whole. Research shows that married couples tend to be in a better financial situation and have a lower likelihood of separating, compared to couples who choose to live together. This is why we are committed to using our talents and resources to serve those in need, and to make weddings accessible to all.

Decreasing marriage rates are a growing concern, particularly in communities of color, such as Black communities. The high cost and exclusivity of weddings only serve to exacerbate the problem, creating additional barriers for those who are already disadvantaged. As wedding professionals, we believe it is important to find ways to make weddings more affordable and accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Our goal is to ensure that every couple has the opportunity to celebrate their love and start their lives together in a meaningful way.

The Wedding Memories

As a wedding photographer, I've captured countless moments of love and happiness over the years, but one particular memory stands out to me. It was a beautiful summer day in Long Island, and I had just finished shooting a first look with the bride and groom. We decided to head to a nearby beach, Jones Beach, to capture some unique images.

After about 30 minutes of shooting, we were ready to head back to the limo and make our way to the church for the ceremony. But just as we were about to leave, the bride realized her veil was missing. Panic set in as we searched the area, but there was no sign of the veil anywhere. The bride was heartbroken, as she had imagined herself walking down the aisle with that veil on her special day.

But we weren't going to let this ruin her wedding day. As a team of three photographers, we split up and searched different directions along the beach and the shore. We assured the bride that we would find her veil, no matter what it took. And just as we were starting to lose hope, one of our photographers spotted the veil floating in the ocean.

We didn't hesitate for a second. We ran as fast as we could towards the veil, knowing that time was running out before the ceremony began. It was a miracle that we were able to retrieve the veil in time, but we did it. We rushed back to the church, slightly late, but with the bride's veil in hand.

As the ceremony began, the bride looked stunning with her veil on, and the groom gave us a thumbs up, knowing that we had gone above and beyond to make his bride's wedding day perfect. That moment was a reminder of why we do what we do. As wedding photographers, we are here to bring happiness and be guardian angels to brides on their special day.

Despite the occasional hiccups on a wedding day, everything always seems to work out in the end. And that's why I love my job. I have the privilege of being a part of one of the most important days of a couple's life and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Specialization

At Angel Project Studios, we believe that every love story is unique and deseres to be told in a way that reflects your individuality. That's why we're not just photographers - we're artists who are inspired by you. We work closely with you to capture the moments and details that matter most and turn them into stunning works of art that you'll treasure forever.

Your boundless joy and love are the source of our greatest inspiration, and it's what we hold dear above all else. We believe that the beauty and magic of life are found in the moments that matter most to you, and we are passionate about preserving those memories in a way that is authentic, artistic, and timeless. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, a milestone birthday, or any other special event, we are here to help you preserve those memories for a lifetime.

Company History

Angel Project Studios was established on May 1st, 2011 in a small office on the second floor of a wedding dress shop in Manhasset. Our humble beginnings included a single round table and a few chairs for meeting space. Since then, we have had the privilege of photographing countless weddings until the pandemic hit.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, we were able to take a step back and reevaluate our business practices. Our mission has always been to celebrate love and the grace of God by serving brides and promoting the positive impact of weddings on society. However, we realized that we had lost sight of this mission in the pursuit of profit.

To reaffirm our commitment to our purpose, we have lowered our prices and expanded our services to a wider range of clients. We now offer our photography services to those with smaller and simpler weddings, as well as those who are looking for more affordable options. We have also opened a portrait studio in Great Neck Plaza to cater to everyday photography needs, such as family portraits, baby photography, and model photography.

Our goal is to become the best quality photography company, not just a company that generates high revenue. We believe that every day is a gift from God, and we strive to fully experience life by bringing happiness to people through our work.

We offer multiple surface options, including metallic, pearl, and matte finishes. Please note that reprinting may require additional retouching, depending on the size of the print. We would be happy to assist you in printing your beautiful images!

Personal Hobbies

As a photographer, my passion for capturing beautiful images is not limited to my professional work. During my off time or on weekdays, I have a variety of hobbies that allow me to express myself creatively and stay active. One of my favorite activities is practicing Kendo, a Japanese sword martial art. I have been practicing for over a decade and have achieved a third-degree black belt. The discipline and focus required in Kendo not only helps me stay physically fit but also improves my mental fortitude and concentration.

Another activity that I enjoy is spending time with my wife, who has been my partner for the past 21 years. We love to play golf together and visit beaches during the summer months. The soothing sounds of waves crashing against the shore and the warm sun on my skin provide a much-needed break from my hectic photography work. Swimming is another activity that I enjoy and helps me stay in shape. Whenever I travel to the Caribbean, I indulge in scuba diving, free diving, and underwater photography. There's something incredibly peaceful about exploring the underwater world and capturing its beauty with my camera.

When I am not practicing my martial art, playing golf, or enjoying the beach, I like to focus on my writing. Writing stories and poems allows me to express my thoughts and emotions in a way that photography cannot. In the early 2000s, I even published a photo essay book, which allowed me to combine my passion for writing and photography. I am currently working on a new book, and I am excited to share it with the world soon.

While photography is my main profession, I also do fashion shoots in my studio with emerging models, and on fashion catalog assignments. These shoots allow me to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and push the boundaries of my creativity. It's always a thrill to see my work published and appreciated by a wider audience.

In conclusion, my life is full of various activities that allow me to express myself creatively, stay active, and continuously learn and grow. Whether it's practicing Kendo, playing golf, exploring the underwater world, writing stories and poems, or doing fashion shoots, I try to live my life to the fullest. I believe that having a diverse range of hobbies and interests not only makes life more enjoyable but also helps me bring a unique perspective and creativity to my professional work as a photographer.

We met Tj from Angel Project at a bridal expo, and we automatically just gravitated towards their booth. Tj was so personable, and sweet.
From the moment we met him, til today he has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was so patient, and fun the day of our wedding. My wife and I were very unsure how to pose and such, and he helped us so much. We got a sneak peek reel the morning after our wedding. And now we’ve been married for just over two months, have all of our photos, highlight video, and full length video. His editing touch is warm and sensual. I know they’re not talked about a lot but RUN DONT WALK To Angel Project Photography.

T.J. Is the best! So easy to work with, communicative throughout the whole process, and of course beautiful work! I have gotten endless compliments on my pictures, most people saying they belong in a magazine! The best choice if you don’t want the typical, staged pictures, and want more natural and journalistic!
