About Me...

Welcome to my photography blog! I am a professional wedding and lifestyle portrait photographer.

Photography is so much more than just pictures. It’s about capturing those special moments in life and reserving a space in time, forever. I’ve spent most of my life working with clients who trust me to document those special moments.

I’m a storyteller, but instead of writing your story, I do it with my camera together with my creativity and my passion for those important moments in each client’s life.

My specialty is wedding and portrait photography, capturing memories to last a life time. Every wedding and client is unique and it’s my job to help each one tell their story.

I’m Yusuf Gunawan, a professional photographer, storyteller with a lifelong passion for the human spirit. I look forward to working with you and capturing those moments in your life that become your most important memories.

Part 2 - Athena & Kevin's Destination Wedding, March 7, 2009 | New York, NY

The decorations of Athena & Kevin's Wedding are designed by the Marriott banquet personnel and their affiliations. The color theme on the party was chocolate and pink.

The lighted tables are product of Smart Space Products, where some of my pictures are featured on their Web. If you are inquiring about any of their products or services, contact Adam Rozen, who is the owner.

Part 1 - Athena & Kevin's Wedding | New York, NY

The fabulous Athena & Kevin's Wedding at the NY Marriott Marquis in Downtown New York on March 7, 2009 is the best video wedding assignment I had.

Probably many of you thinking what is going on with me huh in regards of photography and videography... Some of you have saw my line of work as wedding videographer and photographer as well. Yes... it's true that I am able to do wedding videographer and photographer at the same time.

However, I am prefer to do one job at a time since I can focus more on the subject. I did taking pictures on the wedding because I like to incorporate still pictures with video at the same time since it creates special touch of my creativity in each wedding photo or video assignment I have.
Athena & Kevin's wedding photographer is Harrison from Bella Pictures. FYI, I am not affiliated with Bella Pictures.

The wedding is so awesome and amazed every guests, especially the details of the decoration of the banquet room, ice sculpture on the bar and of course the music entertainment.

Athena & Kevin, congratulations and wish you the best! Also, thank you for you and your family hospitality.
