Although we had only met Sheeba a month before, Ulysses and I felt privileged to be invited to photograph her wedding to John. We started with the preparations at her home, where her friends and family all gathered around her, and the warmth and closeness was apparent. Theirs was a beautiful Indian wedding, with Sheeba wearing three different gowns throughout the day, each one more beautiful than the last.
They had a grand reception at the elegant Florentine Gardens in River Vale, NJ. There were thousands of pink cynbidium orchids to decorate the hall, and beautiful traditional Indian dances to entertain. Thank you, John and Sheeba, for the fabulous meal! It was truly a joy to be among such warm and friendly people. Here is a preview from the wedding photos. The entire photo gallery will be released shortly in our Client Proofs area.
New York is expecting a blizzard this evening, so you might expect we’d hunker down for the day and prepare for the coming Nor’easter.
Nope! So what did we do?
We went to meet Penny and Bob for their engagement photo session. We had such an enjoyable time with them, too. With her gorgeous waves of beautiful red hair, Penny was the very picture of contentment and love as she easily settled into Bob’s arms. Bob didn’t at all seem to mind the holding, hugging, and pampering from Penny.
It always means a lot to us and our style of shooting when our couples feel enough trust in us to “let us in” so that we can capture those momentary and fleeting glances of devotion towards one another. And that’s definitely what we saw with Penny and Bob. Jenni and I anxiously await their wedding day, which promises to be an incredible and unique event.
Many thanks to Penny and Bob for choosing us as your photographers, and especially for braving the below-freezing temperatures. You were totally committed to this session and to one another. We just LOVE that about you.
Their gallery of engagement photos will be available on Monday morning (2-13-06). Go to ulyssesphotography.com, and then to our “Client Proofs” area. Additionally, feel free to leave your comments about the gallery on this blog. We want this to be an interactive experience for everyone to enjoy.
I tried out a few services recently at the Soul Therapy Spa in Fishkill, New York. What a wonderful place! I’m a strong believer in massage therapy, so first I got a massage done by Lori. She does a great job, and every muscle was relaxed afterward. The quiet and calming atmosphere of the spa contributes to releasing any shred of tension you may have.
I also had my first facial - ever! I tried their Champagne facial. What a treat! Kelly is fabulous, and obviously loves her job as much as we love photography. Besides being incredibly relaxing, my skin felt wonderful afterward, and she helped with specific suggestions for skin care. Soul Therapy also carries all-natural skin care products, which is very important to me.
Other services available there include hair care and nail care (including their fabulous Shiatsu pedicure chair). If you’re looking for a spa to enjoy with your girls on your wedding day, or just for a luxurious treat, give Soul Therapy a call at (845) 896-SOUL.
