Edwardo and his family threw a giant surprise party for their father who was turning 70, held at Ricardo’s By The Bridge in Astoria. Everyone wore coordinated outfits, there was catering, a dj, cake, decorations, and of course, a photographer! What a special way to celebrate the blessing of a long life and a large family!

Here are some of my favorite shots from our session (click to view full-size and un-cropped):

All images in this blog post were shot on a Nikon D750, using an AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 G series lens, and individually post-processed in Adobe Lightroom using my own custom presets.
