Events – draft
Exciting event photography — unobtrusive, unscripted, atmospheric
An event is a way to promote or introduce your brand / product to the public sphere. With all the time, money and resources you’ve put into that one larger-than-life moment, you need it to make an impression that lasts long after the guests have departed and the decor has been dismantled. That’s when a skilled photographer becomes indispensable. André Maier Photography blends into the background, while capturing painstaking little details and show-stopping moments in a way that brings the event to life for viewers. No room is too packed. No VIP too intimidating. Our candid approach to photography will make sure you have the most vibrant and evocative record of your event possible.

TESTIMONIALS
“Where to even start… From the initial meeting to execution, Andre was incredible! I had high expectations for our photography and he blew it out of the water! I could not have asked for better photos and I HIGHLY recommend his services.” — Sarah
“Andre is a gem – he is lovely and kind. The pictures he took are unlike any other photos I’ve ever seen before. He listened to what I wanted and was always available to hear my thoughts and calm me down about my concerns. Andre is a true artist and a wonderful person – everyone should be so fortunate to have a photographer like him. ” — Suzanne & Gil
“Do not hesitate to hire Andre Maier as your photographer. We have had experiences with other photographers and can say, without doubt, he is wonderful. He is exceptionally talented, and a pleasure to work with, and we love the way he captured the joy of the occasion.” — Jazmine & Leo

Not for Everyone
Price of admission: Your Mind.
Happy holidays from all of us in the Maier family. This year’s photo - the Magic Theatre - is (very loosely) based on the book “Steppenwolf” by Herman Hesse. We started our family series of somewhat bizarre and fun family photos 25 years ago with the first pregnancy. We have created a conceptual photo every 6 months for the first 20 years, and once a year now. The “kids” still play along in our 25th year... You can see all 43 images in the series in the family tab on my website (link in bio): from first pregnancy to today.

Is it worth choreographing a first dance? It sure makes for fun photos!

Quick photo stop in Madison Square Park between hotel and wedding venue Current. It`s often worth scheduling an extra 15-20 minutes for some extra photos between hotel and venue. Especially now that it`s often dark out by the tine the ceremony starts, we can take advantage of some daylight in iconic or meaningful locations.
Couldn`t have asked for a more fun and easy to work with couple!

Highlight video from a recent wedding at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury.
The couple decided not to see each other before the ceremony, but they did stage a "first touch" - where they read their vows privately to each other standing back to back.
And yes - we have an incredible video shooter and editing team!

Guastavino`s NYC. Each wedding has so many moments that can`t be predicted or put on a timeline. That`s what always keeps it exciting for us. The mix of natural moments and some great portraits is where the magic is.

Every now and then, we do "styled shoots" - fake brides and real inspiration. Here we are at the Virgin Hotel in NYC and I`ll show a few shots coming up.

Ketubah moment. The magic happens when you don`t notice the photogrpaher and are just in the moment. It`s what keeps weddings and events exciting for us every time after all these years - i never know when the natural and authentic moments happen.
