It’s truly hard to believe, but it’s been about 1-1/2 years since we’ve seen Jan & Greg at their gorgeous wedding at Beckwith Pointe. Life has moved pretty quickly for them since then. They’ve moved out to the west coast. They’re enjoying their work. And they are even more in love than ever before. So when Jan contacted us to let us know they’d be visiting New York and asked if we would photograph some portraits for their family, we jumped at the chance to join them again! 
It was almost like a little family reunion for us, too, as we we all hugged one another in greeting. Everyone had already had a delicious lunch at the late 19th century grand castle at Mohonk Mountain House. Having done weddings there, we were thrilled to return for a fun and relaxing afternoon with the Coppola Family. They’ve expanded by a bit, too, since Greg’s sister & her husband Vinnie have had a new one added to their nest.
Jan & Greg, we had SUCH a blast getting reacquainted with everyone. And most of all, it was a joy to spend some time with you again. We can’t wait to show you all of the photos, as you were each just as much fun to shoot as ever!
Their online gallery is coming very soon to the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. For now, enjoy the preview photos posted here. We’d love to hear from our readers, so please leave a comment by clicking on “Comments” immediately below.

Andrea & Frank’s wedding was one of our most anticipated weddings of the year for a number of reasons. For one thing, we knew how much passion this couple felt for one another and the way those feelings would allow us to create incredible photos. We also knew how much they had gone through leading up to this date. So the level of excitement and anticipation for their wedding was simply through the roof! Andrea could hardly contain herself as she entered the large wooden doors of Skyland’s Manor, greeting us with warm hugs on this cold December day. After dressing in her amazing gown (along with a sassy matching jacket, hand-made by a seamstress from Italy) and a fun bridal portrait session with Andrea, we caught up with Frank, who looked like the proudest man on the planet as he waited for his bride. The audience — and Frank — was full of tears of joy as she walked down the aisle of the cozy chapel.
Our most enjoyable time was the private time with Andrea & Frank for photography. We had a chance to walk outside and enjoy some of the grounds around the castle. And later towards the end of the evening, they spent a pocket of time with us exploring the romantically mysterious hallways for some stunning portraits. They were incredible models, and we could have spent all evening with them if they had wanted.
Andrea & Frank, thanks SO MUCH for entrusting us with such a valuable privilege. We knew your wedding day would be a stunner. And we very much appreciate the delicious meal that was provided. Linda and Laurel, and the entire staff of Skylands Manor were so helpful and on the ball. Your families were a joy to be around.
We hope all of you enjoy these previews. It’s just a taste of what is to come while we prepare the rest of the online gallery. It will be available soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. And please post a note here and say hello by clicking on the “Comments” link below.

… and if you can’t wait to see more of Andrea & Frank, have a look at some of our favorite photos from their engagement session back in March ‘07. Have fun!
We recently had our first snow of the season, and we couldn’t have enjoyed it more than we did while spending some time with Jacquelyn & Tom. This couple seemed just as excited as we were to be able to meet for the first time. They drove quite a distance to meet us for their e-session, so we knew right away that pictures are a priority for them. After spending some time getting to know one another a little better, we began a really enjoyable session of shooting. I think it was their complete comfort with one another that truly gave life, romance, and a fashionable edge to the photos. Excellent choice of clothing, too, I might add. They both looked great!

Though meeting them in person for only the first time, we felt as if we’d known them for much longer. Their session today was just an indicator of how enjoyable their wedding day is going to be at the Thayer Hotel in beautiful West Point, NY.
We couldn’t be more pleased with the results, and we’re anxious to show them their photos! Their online gallery will be posted very soon in the “Client Proofs” area of our main website. We always love hearing from our readers and our brides (past, present AND future), so please say hello by clicking on the “Comments” link below.
After shooting a fun maternity session with Nicole & Ralph a few short months ago, Ulysses and I were so excited to finally meet little Sofia. She was born just last month, and she is simply beautiful. During our time with her, she showed the full range of emotions. I think she definitely knew the camera was on her, and she posed like a star.
Enjoy this preview slideshow. Her entire gallery will be posted shortly on our main website, with a password that can be requested from her parents. If you’d like to leave a comment for her parents or for us, please do so by clicking on the “Comments” link below!
