Flushing Meadows Park NY is a great location for taking your prom photos. Not only does it offer stunning architectural structures such as the famous Unisphere, it also features beautiful gardens, fountains, and lakes that make for beautiful backgrounds for your prom photos.

Below are just some of the beautiful photos taken of this beautiful young lady’s prom photo session. I absolutely loved her emerald green gown. It went so well with all the lush greens and gardens in the park. It also really popped in the photo with the Unisphere.

If you are considering having prom photos taken, I highly recommend that you don’t wait too long to book. May and June are typically very busy months for photographers. There are many events happening and everyone wants to have their portraits and photo sessions done outside since the weather is nicer.

Queens Prom Photography

There are several great locations in Queens that you can visit for your Prom Photography. Several parks in Queens that work perfectly for prom photography or any type of photoshoot include:

Flushing Meadows Park

Kissena Park

Forest Hills Park

Long Island City Pier s

When deciding which park you will want to have your prom photos taken, it really is going to be a good idea if you can have a brief discussion about it with your photographer. This way you can go over the logistics of the start time and location of your prom event. Some things that you will want to consider when planning your prom photoshoot is the distance of your event from the location that you will want to have your photos taken and the time that your event starts. In addition to the distance, you will also need to factor additional time for any traffic especially if your prom is being held during the week. Therefore, it is usually wise to allow for additional time for this.

If you are interested in having your prom photography taken right before you take off for your prom event than I suggest that you get in touch as soon as possible since May & June are busy months for events that also include communions, graduations, weddings, birthday parties, Mother’s Day, etc. Everyone has an event that they want captured! In addition everyone in general just wants to schedule an outdoor photoshoot since the weather is so nice.

Long Island City Prom Photographer

As a photographer, one of my favorite places in New York to take prom photos is by Long Island City Piers, which is also known as Gantry Plaza Park. The water and NYC skyline just makes for a great picturesque backdrop for all photo opportunities!

For this pre-prom photoshoot we had a big group of over 20 kids from McClancy High School. I was able to get a big group photo of all the kids, as well as individual photos of each boy and girl and some couple photos. Everyone looked amazing. The gowns that the girls wore were oh so glamorous and pretty and the guys looked real sharp in their suits. They were all a real fun group and everyone had a great time..

If you are interested in having pre-prom photos taken in Long Island City or anywhere in the Long Island, New York area I suggest that you get in touch as soon as possible since prom season is also busy with communions, graduations, weddings and party’s. This means that it gets really busy in May and June for photographers. Everyone wants to have professional photos taken! And after a cold dreary winter who can blame that?

I offer a multitude of photo packages for individuals, couples and groups. You can customize your photography package for just yourself and your date, or also include your friends! If you are considering taking pre-prom photos at Long Island City Piers by a professional photographer please also keep in mind that you will be responsible for obtaining a permit in order to take pictures there.

Here are some of the amazing photos that we got by Long Island City Piers:

New York Prom Photographer: Prom Photos in NYC

Having Prom photos taken in NYC can be really cool. Especially when your prom is being hosted at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Stephanie wanted some pre-prom photos taken back home in Long Island, NY before driving into the city to meet her boyfriend at the Waldorf where her school, Bronx Science was hosting their High School Senior Prom. As the students were making their way in, I took some quick portraits outside of the couple before heading in to take more creative photos inside the lobby of the Waldorf. The prom was about to begin and we literally had only a few minutes left to take the photos. The couple as well as everyone else just wanted to go and party! Stephanie was quite happy with these photos. They certainly were not the average typical prom school photos that are usually taken on a plain backdrop by a contracted school photographer. They are definitely unique and provide way more variety. You can read more about what Pre-Prom photos are in my previous blog post. You will also be able to preview some of the images that I took of Stephanie, her friend and her family before heading into the city.

New York Prom Photographer:Pre-Prom Photos

What are Pre-Prom Photos?

Pre-Prom Photos are photos that can be taken either prior to your actual prom date, or, they can be taken just after everyone is dressed and about to leave for the Prom. Typically they are taken the day of Prom Night before heading off for the big party.

Why take Pre-Prom Photos?

Although there are almost always photo packages available by the school’s photographer at the Prom event, the photos are usually taken on regular plain backdrops. Typically the same traditional poses are taken at the same crop for everyone and there is not much of a diversity in crops, angles, backgrounds and lighting as there is if you hire a professional Prom Photographer. A professional photographer can be hired to come before leaving for the event to take some creative photos utilizing different environmental backdrops in addition to taking pictures at unique angles and crops.

What are some advantages of taking Pre-Prom Photos?

There are many advantages of taking Pre-Prom photos some include having more photos taken of yourself, your date, your friends and sometimes even your family and your pet. You can also take them at your home, or another location in route to your prom. You can also take group photos with your friends.

How long does a Pre-Prom photoshoot last?

Typically it takes about 45 minutes to an hour but it also depends if you are adding additional couples or if you want your own private individualized session. If you want to add an additional location that can play a factor. As you see you can make your Pre-Prom photoshoot customized to your needs.

How much does a Pre-Prom photoshoot cost?

It depends. As mentioned before Pre-prom photoshoots can be customized to include individuals and/or additional couples and groups. In most cases Pre-Prom shoots are done in groups as parties. Since most kids split the limo and go to prom in giant groups, a Pre-Prom shoot can actually be a great deal when you split the cost between the other couples and do a group package. You can wind up with professional photos of each individual child, couple and sometimes even the Parents can be included in the photos if they are around. Most parents want at least one really nice photo of their teenager. It’s such a great idea to have a professional photographer come to capture professional photos when they are dressed up for this special night.

Here are a few photos from a Pre-Prom photo session. The Prom was held at the Waldorf Astoria in New York, NY. I met Stephanie at her house in Queens, NY and took a few photos of her and her friend before leaving for the city where i took additional photos of her and her boyfriend. I will post those photos in the next blog post. As you can see, I took photos of both girls individually and together. I also took photos of each girl and her family. As I mentioned before it is always great if you can include the family in the photos with the teen. Prom night is a special night. You will definitely want a nice photo taken with your mom/dad/family to remember this.
